Fork & Stix · Delmar Loop
Order the khao soi, a northern Thai soup with spicy, sour curry broth. Crisp red onion, pickled mustard greens and cilantro sit under crispy egg noodles, with a lime wedge on the side.
Chao Baan · The Grove
Shayn Prapaisilp and his father, Suchin, opened this Grove restaurant with curries and seafood from the region his parents came from. Order the whole fish for its crisp skin and tender cheek meat. Cocktails use tamarind syrup, peanut orgeat and chile-infused tequila.
King & I Thai Cuisine · South Grand
King and I built its following on central Thai cooking alongside familiar Chinese dishes. Order from the central Thai side of the menu at this South Grand restaurant.
Chiang Mai · Webster Groves
Chef-owner Su Hill named this Big Bend Boulevard restaurant for her northern Thai hometown. Its cooking draws on that region rather than a standard Thai-American menu. Ask which dishes reflect Chiang Mai.
TeeRak Thai Restaurant · Shaw
Alada Poodtajan started this northern Thai kitchen at the Tower Grove Farmers' Market in May 2023, after moving to St. Louis in 2020. She later opened a Shaw storefront near the market. Order the northern dishes that began at her stand.
