9-6-26 dinner for 2 Ambiance - cleanliness...super clean. Decor is natural wood and very pleasant. Impressive. Service - very personal and helpful. Food delivered hot and quickly. Food - Soft Spring Roll is excellent. Cashew chicken stir-fry served with white rice. . Full flavored and 100% delicious. We loved it and agreed it will be our preferred choice. Eggplant stir-fry with white rice was also tasty. I must admit the cashew chicken had more flavor but both were very good. Iced tea is very good. Chang Thai beer excellent. We love this lovely Thai Cafe. Looking forward to returning. A very delightful quiet Thai Cafe. I know you will enjoy it too. read more

Thai ice tea refreshing! The Choo chee salmon is my family's favorite dish! Fried shrimp and crab Rangoon are fantastic.! read more

Really enjoyed this Thai restaurant! The strip mall is a bit deceiving but it is a surprisingly large space upon entry. Service was quick and food was delicious. We tried the Crab Rangoon, Peanut Noodles and Duck Panang Curry. The entrees were delicious and the flavor perfect. We were pleasantly surprised the crab rangoon had real crab inside. read more

Really good, tasty food. Quiet, at least on a Tuesday night. Eggplant stir fry, Spicy stir fry, Tempura, Tom Kha, Fried Tofu, Gyoza, Crab Rangoon. All for under $100. Spiced exactly as requested. The tofu added as protein wasn't just cubed and thrown in, it was prepped before adding so it had texture and flavor. We are from Hawaii, and are used to good Thai, but this was really, really good!​​ read more

Ordered lunch to go from this restaurant while I was in between meetings. Was hoping to bring it back to the office to eat. It was a Friday during lunch and I don't eat meat on Fridays, so I ordered the tofu red curry. Picked it up, container said tofu. Got back to the office and it was not tofu, it was chicken. Called the restaurant and they said "what do you want us to do about it?" Asked to speak to a manager and asked for a refund. They asked if I could just bring it back to the restaurant. Restaurant was 25 minutes away from my office and I was working the rest of the afternoon, so I didn't have time to bring it back to the restaurant. Offered to take pictures of said chicken. Sent pictures in and they refunded me the next day. Sad that I didn't have a lunch for that day, but happy that they eventually decided to do the right thing. FWIW: Gave my lunch to a coworker and told him it might be spicy because I ordered it three out of five on the spicy scale. He was a little bit nervous because he doesn't like spice, but said it was not spicy at all. May give the restaurant another shot if I'm in the area. read more

Thai Nivas Cafe - Chicken Red Curry - Thai Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

My go to for takeout! Love the basil fried rice, pad Thai and the sushi. Can't go wrong with any appetizer either!

Met a friend here for dinner. There are multiple Thai food restaurants I like, but I've been on the search for a new favorite closer to my home. This restaurant is closer to my home. Parking was easy. I was greeted as soon as I entered and they seated me at a table. There was one other customer in this entire restaurant and they wanted to seat me directly next to them... I asked if I could be seated a few tables over and they did accommodate that. Drink orders were taken quickly. Friend arrived and they received a drink quickly. Before friend had even opened menu they asked for food order. We asked for a few minutes. They literally came back in about 2 minutes. We asked for a few more minutes. They came back in another 2 minutes. You get the point here... It was obvious friend was looking at the menu, why rush? This rushing was felt throughout the experience and we didn't enjoy it. When the check was delivered, they let us know we could pay at the register. We said okay and that we were talking for a few minutes and wrapping up. They came back over multiple times to tell us where to pay. Food - I ordered the Pad See Ew, friend ordered Pad Thai, we also had the crab rangoons. Rangoons were super tasty. Pad see ew was lacking flavor. It had spice, but not flavor. I felt like it was only "okay". Friend liked hers. Overall, there are other options I prefer more. I would not visit again. read more

Located in a strip mall this quaint and unassuming restaurant had delicious food. My Tom Yum was incredible and my friend's curry was very tasty. We also ordered 2 sushi rolls- the rainbow roll left a lot to be desired, but the caterpillar roll was great. The wine selection is underwhelming, but for basic Thai food at a decent price, this is the place to go. read more

First time having Thai food ( I know I know, I don't like peanuts so I was hesitant) and I am filled with regret (and curry. Mostly curry). I'm full but a healthy happy quality food full. Great ingredients, service, and options. I want to return tomorrow but that might be a bit crazy. I had the yellow chicken curry but my friends had an array of other options that all were magical- you can't go wrong here! read more

When in the mood for Thai, this is our go-to place. Tucked away in the corner of a strip center, most of the cars in the parking lot are for here. It is usually moderately crowded, with several people waiting for take-out. Actually, I think their take-out business is just as robust at the eat-in. They have Thai and Japanese food, as well as several sushi offerings. The Pad dishes (Thai, Woon Sen, See Eew, etc) are always good choices, as are the noodle soups. If you're in the mood, they also have multiple Curry dishes (red or yellow). Too many items to summarize - better to just check out the menu: https://www.thainivassushibar.com/order/ As an aside, we almost always get potstickers as an appetizer, just to get the juices flowing. We've been coming here for 10 years and have never been disappointed. Note: please let me know if you find this helpful. read more

This place misses the mark in all areas. The food was bland, the service was slow and inattentive, and they did not pack me a utensils or ask if I needed them so I had nothing when I got to my hotel. It took so long for my order that my partner who I was on the phone with started dinner and was eating dinner before I got my order. I will not return. read more

Thai Nivas Cafe - Fried rice and sushi - Thai Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

We came here for lunch and won't be returning. I ordered sushi and hours later I still feel queasy and have a bad taste in our mouth. The tuna roll was way too (fluorescent) pink and the color stained the rice, which means they either dye their tuna or buy it already dyed. It left an odd coating in my mouth. The same happened with the salmon roll - it almost looked like a nectarine instead of salmon. I told the waiter and he just said "uh, I guess I'll tell the chef" and that was it. I didn't hear from the chef nor did they remove the item from the final bill. This was the first time I have ever left food without either finishing it/asking for a to-go bag. Not sure about their Thai food but certainly stay away from their sushi. read more

Thai Nivas Cafe - Nivas Pad Thai and pad kee mao - Thai Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This is an excellent restaurant. The food is always hot and delicious and the service is second to none! It's very clean and friendly. We have never been disappointed with the quality of the food, it is always consistently good. I highly recommend it. It's 5 out of 5! read more

Service can be hit-or-miss here, but the food is good. Like other reviewers, the first time I ordered takeout sushi from here, my order was quoted to take 45 minutes, but ended up waiting an additional 45 minutes at the restaurant. The sushi itself was good though and the prices were good. Every other time I've been here was for lunch during the workweek, and I dined in. Went with Thai noodle dishes each time, and they satisfy my hot-greasy-spicy cravings each time. Haven't had to wait long for food when dining in. read more

Thai Nivas Cafe - Pad spicy noodles - Thai Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I visited Thai Nivas Cafe on a Wednesday evening and ordered the Pad Sew Eew thats similar to drunken noodles but a sweeter sauce (so not as hot as drunken noodles) with broccoli, added shrimp as a protein and its a dish I can recommend. The noodles, shrimp and veggies were nicely cooked with a slightly smokey flavor and that I enjoyed and the shrimp were plump and flavorful that made this dish very enjoyable. I requested their chili sauce to add to my dish and it tasted great and added a little flair and heat to my dish with out being overly hot. However, I ordered a starter appetizer that is the vegetarian soft rolls appetizer that was a little uninspiring although it tastes okay but instead I'll order the fried spring rolls as an app if I get back there. Parking was easy and the staff were quick and efficient and since I was very hungry I was happy with the service. I can think of a few Thai restaurants in St. Louis that I like a little bit better but since I was in that neighborhood and wanted to try a new Thai place out I'm glad I went there. Thai Nivas also features Sushi but l I decided not to try that but maybe I will on another visit there. read more

I ordered to go after passing by every day on my way to and from work. I ordered and the email said 30 minutes but the amazing service had it ready in about 10-15! The restaurant was tucked in a corner and had a huge parking lot. It wasn't super busy, but had a nice homey feel to it. The food was fantastic. Even though it had been well over an hour (long commute) most everything was still warm from how it was packaged. The shrimp soft rolls were perfect! My husband and I shared a duck pad Thai and there was plenty of meat and enough for him to take it for lunch the next day too! read more

This is my favorite Thai place!! Our family goes here religiously. I typically stick to Pad Thai. But , I've gotten to try other things on the menu and love it! They are friendly and pretty helpful if there is a problem with an order. It can be a bit of a wait during busy hours. read more

I love this place. Just picked up my to go order of red and green curry tofu. It's so good. Thank you read more

Thai Nivas Cafe - Red green curry tofu - Thai Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I love Thai Nivas Cafe. It's one of my favorite Thai restaurants. This is the first Thai I've ever had so it's hard to not base other places off of the flavors from this restaurant. One of my normal orders is pad see eww with beef. This is usually my all time favorite entree but today I thought it was lacking. It was dryer than normal, I think if I asked for a little more sauce it would have been the normal flavor for me. However, the flat noodle it comes with is amazing and I love the combination of broccoli and eggs. My other go to is the choo choo fried rice. I usually get this with chicken or shrimp. Honestly this fried rice is one of the best fried rices I've had. It's not the typical flavor though. It has a sweeter flavor which I personally love! I usually crave this flavor in other fried rice from different places. The other entree I ordered was the pad spicy noodles with chicken (forgot to take a picture since it came later in the meal). I love the combination of peppers and carrots in the spicy noodle. I also like the thin noodles and gave me a good variety from the thick flat noodle the pad see eww came with. I never order cocktails here but my husband did. He ordered Bancock paradise. It came in a cute glass and he said it was very tasty. The service is always quick which I like. When I go to Thai it's usually because I want a good, quicker meal. The entrees don't always come out at the same time but that doesn't bother me. The restaurant is always clean and parking is easy. read more

We used their online group ordering system to order for a large group. They are obviously not equipped to handle large orders because they were an hour late and made the food in batches. By pool the time they got it all done the first stuff they made was cold. read more

Tried the Tom Kha #12 and the Beef Noodle #29 The soup resembles a coconut soup from Surin West back home in Alabama. This one is a bit more flavorful and has cilantro and other herbs in it along with mushrooms. The shrimp inside was quite tasty. They weren't overcooked and they didn't skimp on them. It's a really good soup but I'm stuck on the one from home so I didn't super love it. The beef noodle soup was flavorful and the beef was nice and tender. It has meatballs & beef brisket in it. The soup resembled a pho and it came with cilantro and onions to top. I added a little spice and it made for a nice comforting bowl of soup. It's a big bowl so you'll have leftovers or your partner will finish it for you lol. My partner had the Yellow Curry Stir Fry #35 and Tom Kha #12 also. I liked the flavor of the curry but that too I would like it a bit spicier. We also had some hot sake. I don't particularly like it hot but she does and this was the same as they all are to me. They are strong and bitter. Lol. I'd definitely return and try something else. read more

The service was lackluster not a warm greeting. The ambience was OK, but not special. The food was quite average have been to many other Thai food restaurants in Creve Coeur and Maryland Heights that are higher quality will not go back. read more

I have visited the restaurant a few times for in-house dinner with my family, and we have always been very satisfied with the service and food. Sometimes the dishes don't come out together, sometimes it takes a little while to get the check - but the food is so good and the atmosphere welcoming enough that I don't mind a few hiccups. I've had a not-so-great experience in the past with online ordering and takeout, but last night I gave into a craving for gyoza and pad see ew, and placed an order at 7:15. The website promised 7:45. I got there are at 7:45, and sure enough, it was on the pickup table, bagged up and ready to go. They have redeemed themselves on the to-go side of service. Absolutely will be back! read more

Everything is truly yummy. Well everything we've had. Easy to order for pickup. Pleasant friendly people. Delicious fresh food

I was told that Thai Nivas has authentic Thai food. Surprised I never noticed this restaurant while driving on Olive. There's plenty of parking in the plaza. I was impressed by the Thai decorations when I walked in. There were lots of options on the menu. Didn't know what to get so I stuck with traditional Thai dishes. I had the Moo Ping appetizer and Chicken Pad Thai. I liked the Moo Ping. The Chicken Pad Thai was a little sweet for my taste. I ordered it medium spicy, which wasn't spicy at all. Next time I'll probably request hot spice level. The food took longer than expected after ordering. Other than that the service was decent. I would recommend Thai Nivas to anyone wanting to try Thai food in St. Louis. read more

As a Black restaurant diner, Yelper and foodie this is the type of review that is deeply disappointing to write. I was RACIALLY PROFILED when I went to pickup my takeout order. The restaurant was busy and my estimated 35 minute wait time had passed. Upon arrival, I had to wait another 10+ minutes. I paid, then alerted the woman at the counter that I would wait in the car as the lobby space was crowded. When I returned, I saw that my order was ready and bagged. Ok, finally, great! I grabbed it and headed for my car. Once inside my car, I see the female who took my payment run out to my passenger door - IN THE DARK - to question the order I'd grabbed. Stating that I should have alerted someone before I walked out. What the hell!? 1. She took my payment. There's a common saying that all Black people look alike but get outta here!! 2. It is exceptionally DANGEROUS to chase someone in a dark parking lot -- especially for a $33.99 order! 3. I'm writing this review in the hope that this does not happen to someone else. read more

Best Thai food in STL. I've been coming here since I was a teen so 12-15 years, my favorite is their yellow curry stir fry.

Great food and service. I got my wisdom teeth out a couple days ago and I was tired of having soup and yogurt. so I ordered pad Thai and I asked for no peanut crumble because it would be too hard to eat. They left such a sweet note on the Togo box for me and left out the peanut crumble. They have always had great service and food when I go in to eat this is the first time I did carry out. Would recommend this place. read more

Food is delicious and the staff is super attentive and polite. Definitely my new go-to thai restaurant

Solid place to try if you're in the mood for Thai food. The interior is pretty simple with minimal decoration but gives off a very clean and professional look. I ordered the Chicken Peanut Sauce and was pretty pleased with my meal. I have a weakness for Thai peanut sauce and this dish did not disappoint. The chicken was yummy and juicy and the broccoli was cooked very well. The only thing I will say is that the sauce itself was a little more runny than what I'm used to. When I first saw my meal I thought I would have to order something else to curb my hunger, but I was pleasantly full by the time I finished my meal. The first time I came here the place was pretty empty, similar to this time. If you're looking for a nice quiet meal this is a place to checkout! read more

Less quantity and authentic touch of Thai was missing . May be that's the best one around the area but definitely need to improve on taste.
