    Went for their lunch combo deal! It was a lot of food, so it was a good deal. We first got thai teas, which were a bit sweet for me, but taste was nice. Then, we got spring rolls for an appetizer - they were crunchy and yummy and the sauce paired it well! Last, we got our entrees: chicken yellow curry and pad thai. These were very large portions!! The yellow curry was savory and the vegetables were perfectly soft - it was a bit more watery than I'm used to but that didn't influence the taste. The pad thai was also good, but I heard I should try the drunken noodles next time, for a bit more kick of flavor. We did wait a bit longer than usual for our entrees to come out, but service was super friendly and attentive.

    I had takeout with a friend. I had the papaya salad and the veg fried rice. The food was good, not great or any different from upscale Asian foods you can find in St. Louis. I would go back to eat in or get takeout. The parking is good, the restaurant is small and noisy. People are having a good time Seemingly, the staff was great.

    Very busy when we went, but a table had just exited one of the outdoor tables when we arrived and the server was very accommodating in letting us have that table after immediately clearing it. The service here is very efficient. The outdoor seating reminded me very much of European cafes. The indoor looked well set up and the bathroom was nice. Now on to the food. We had the fried tofu and moo ping. Both were very good. The moo ping was especially tender. The fried tofu was good with a crispy texture on the outside and nice creaminess inside. The fried tofu isn't an appetizer I'd normally order, but we owed our friends a dinner so we let them pick the apps. That being said, I'm glad they ordered it as it was a really good version of it that was served with two sauces that helped cut the blandness of the unadulterated tofu. Still not sure I would order it but I was definitely happy to try it and see why they like ordering it. My crispy pork salad was perfectly cooked. The textural variance of the pork belly being crispy and crunchy on the outside while being melt-in-your-mouth on the inside will have me ordering it every time this special is offered during the warmer months. The cucumbers and greens helped cool down the spices used although it was not very hot to begin with. The som tum was another delectable bite and followed a similar spice pattern. There is not a whole lot of spice in one bite, but it does build with repeated consumption. Similar thing could be said of my wife's Crying Tiger Beef. Her chilled beef dish was expertly crafted. The tenderness that the chef produced from the cut was amazing especially considering it had to be cooled down after cooking. Granted the citrus juice assisted in that endeavor but the chef had to also hit a narrow window of doneness to achieve this feat of subliminal gastronomy. We will be back and it is on our short list.

    Drunken noodles with pork

    They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside. I tried the spring rolls, sticky rice, drunken noodles with pork and a drink (but I don't remember which one) Everything was really good, the drink was a little sweeter than I would've liked it to be but still good. Our server was really nice. We requested if one of the soups could be made a lot milder because my aunt couldn't handle the spice level (I guess she didn't realize it was a spicy soup) and they did it with no problem. Will definitely be back!

    Cry tiger salad  and the goyza app

    Really enjoyed our away from home Birthday meal for my hubby. He got the Cry Tigar salad and I got the Drunken noodles. The entrees are the winners. Appetizers were not very impressive. The local beer selection was awesome. Really likes the Banana Hefeweizen. Next door is a wine shop. Picked out a 6 pack of beer and ciders to go. Tip top day! Thank you!!

    Tee Rak Thai is the story you love to see. Starting at the farmers market and growing into a storefront. The drunken noodles with shrimp are a must. So much flavor and comforting. Somehow, it's impossible to stop eating even when you're already full. It still has that small business charm. Great outdoor and indoor seating!

    Tom Kha (cup)
    Vinny M.

    Stopped by TeeRak for lunch and honestly really enjoyed it. We ordered chicken satay, moo ping, som tum, tom yum, tom kha, pad thai with chicken, and gaeng hung lay. Everything tasted fresh and had good balance -- nothing overly sweet or heavy like some Thai places can be. The gaeng hung lay was probably my favorite. Really rich flavor and the pork was super tender. Not something you see everywhere and definitely worth trying. Som tum was crisp and bright with a nice lime kick. Chicken satay was juicy and the peanut sauce was thick and flavorful. Moo ping had a nice grilled flavor and was simple but really good. Both soups were solid -- tom kha creamy and comforting, tom yum more tangy and herbal. Pad thai was good too -- noodles had a nice texture and it wasn't overly saucy. The space is casual and comfortable, and there's a cool elephant mural on the wall that gives the place some personality. Overall just a really solid Thai spot. I'd come back, especially for the hung lay and papaya salad.

    Wow, TeeRak Thai Restaurant is the real deal. I just tried this restaurant yesterday and already anticipating going back. The food was packed with bold, vibrant flavors. I ordered the khao soi and it was phenomenal. I loved the combination of soft noodles in the soup, crunchy noodles on top, tangy acidity in the broth, perfectly balanced spice level, and the crunchy pickled mustard greens. I only wish they put this dish in a bigger bowl because I felt like I had to be extremely careful digging into it; otherwise I might spill or drop something. My friend got the Massaman curry and a cup of tom kha, and both were just as rich, comforting, and delicious. We also each got a Thai tea, and it was the perfect amount of sweetness without being overly sugary. I think this might be my new favorite Thai restaurant in St. Louis. I highly recommend if you're craving authentic Thai food. I will surely be back to try more items on the menu!

    Pad See Ew with Tofu
    Christina Z.

    The hostess and server were very kind and helpful when we arrived, and we loved the vibrant decor inside. The umbrellas were a nice touch! We both got noodle dishes: the drunken noodles and the pad see ew. The drunken noodles had a good amount of garlic and flavor. The spice level two wasn't too much for us and added a nice balance with the sweet and garlicky sauce. I usually order the pad see ew whenever I get Thai so I was surprised that there wasn't that much broccoli in the dish. I think more would've helped break up the texture and diversify bites. We'll definitely be back!

    Fried rice with shrimp, spring rolls, and the drink- farang
    Chrissy E.

    This was on my list of places to try for a while and since the other restaurant I was originally going to wasn't open, I figured why not? I was greeted warmly upon entering and while I was initially sat close to the door, they let me switch tables so I wouldn't feel the draft of each person coming in. The place was decorated beautifully with murals of all things Stl covering the walls. I was promptly given water and asked if I was ready to order. After a few mins, I went with the spring roll for an appetizer and the fried rice with shrimp. Drink wise, I went with the farang. While it wasn't packed per se, there were more people than I was expecting to see. Nevertheless, that didn't deter from providing excellent service. While I was hoping to have my spring rolls out before my entree, everything was brought out at once. I couldn't wait to dig into the spring rolls but after the first bite, I noticed they were extremely hot. Will def let them cool down first for next time. The fried rice was excellent. I ended up adding a little bit of soy sauce but that was all it needed. Although the shrimp was bigger than expected, I wish I could have gotten more than 5 pieces. The drink was pretty good but I couldn't quite put my finger on what I was actually tasting. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. Moving forward, I guess I need to specify that I want the appetizer before the entree, but I would assume that'd be common knowledge. Additionally, I didn't realize that adding a protein to the rice is an additional charge, as most places include a protein with it.

    A must-visit for the service alone! Atmosphere: Quaint, visually stimulating, and very clean. The decor and music create a peaceful, trendy vibe. Parking: Plenty of free street parking, but limited accessibility/handicap options. Service: 10/10. The staff turns tables fast but never makes you feel rushed. My waitress was phenomenal, she took the time to explain the menu and went above and beyond when my dish was a bit too spicy for me. The Food: My curry arrived quickly! It was a bit spicier than I usually prefer, but the server brought me an orange drink (Thai tea) to help cool it down without me even asking.

    Spicy thai!!!! A long time favorite finally has a store front and they absolutely nailed it. Perfect location with vibrant, whimsical vibe that is just as flavorful as the dishes they serve. A long time gripe I have had with thai food is even the spiciest level is not spicy enough, tee rak brings some serious spice! I got the pad kra pow(i think) which was ground chicken in a savory sauce and rice to pair. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and amazing thai spice. The thai basil shines through offering an herbal complexity thag cuts through the savory garlic. I ordered take out so I only had some brief interactions with workers, but they were all super nice. Bright smiles, infectious energy, great attitude! A short drive from me this is going to be a serious contender for my de facto take out spot all of 2026

    Came here on a weekend night with no reservation for a group of 3. Waited about 30 to 40 minutes, so we walked around the area and came back when we got the notification. One small thing that was a little annoying: right as we got the notification, a two person walk in came in right before us and they got seated first. Not a huge deal, but just a little frustrating when you've been waiting that long. Moving on though! The inside is really nicely decorated with all these fun decorations around. Our waiter was friendly and the service was solid. For food we ordered a few things to share. The tofu pad Thai was on the sweeter side but really good. The wide noodle dish leaned saltier but still enjoyable. The standout for me though was the soup dish with mild spice and a really nice kick to it. One tip: eat everything with the rice that comes with it. It helps balance out the saltiness and spice from the different dishes. Also the portion sizes are big, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. Would recommend, just maybe plan ahead and make a reservation if you're going on a weekend!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Parking was easily accessible on adjacent lots or on the street. The inside of the restaurant is modern and clean. It is an open concept, so you can see a portion of the kitchen from the seats. My party of 5 was seated immediately by a hostess who gave me the vibe that she neither loved or hated her job...she was just sort of there. It took 18 minutes for a server to show up at our table...By this time, I could have recited their menu! The party of 6 beside us finished their food, got their to go boxes, paid their tab, & chit chatted before we were even acknowledged. We were not the only ones who noticed that our party was being ignored/ overlooked because a lady in the party next to us (the party who had already paid) leaned over to me and said, I promise the food is worth the wait. Hence we stayed... When the waiter brought our water, we went on and ordered our appetizers. We asked if he would go on and take our entree orders. My son ordered pad Thai, one daughter drunken noodles, the other daughter fried rice, my husband and I fried rice and drunken noodles... The waiter then told us, we don't have drunken noodles, the noodles did not come in on the delivery order (I get it, not your fault), but we were confused because nothing was said about those dishes not being available when we sat down as well as when my daughter ordered drunken noodles (which come to find out he had written that part of the order down wrong)... My husband asked if they could just substitute a different type of noodles from one of the other noodle dishes into the drunken noodles, and the waiter said that the noodles in the drunken noodles were large and flat. My husband reiterated to the server that we knew that and asked the question again. The server gave the same response. I am not sure if his intent was to be condescending or if his comprehension was that poor, but with service like that, I have little faith in the quality of the food... By this time, things were beyond frustrating, so we got up and left. We ended up at Sen Thai and had a great meal. Guess we will have to continue to do some Yelp research on other quality Thai restaurants in STL...Chao Baan will remain a mystery for us!

They had 2 wait staff working when we went and both greeted us immediately and seated us inside. Their air conditioning was broken and awaiting repair and they had signs throughout explaining that. It was still cooler inside than out so we sat inside. I was curious what a butterfly lemonade was so I ordered one. It was good and quite refreshing with traditional lemonade at the bottom topped with a vibrant deep purple concoction on top. After I educated myself, I found that the deep purple concoction is steeped tea made from butterfly pea flowers. We started with some egg rolls - fried with ground pork and vegetables and served with sweet and sour sauce. The sauce was great! I normally pass as most of them have a cloyingly sweet flavor that I don't like but theirs had a really good balance of flavors amd not too sweet. The egg rolls were flavorful enough to stand on their own though and yes, delivered piping hot to the table. I had the drunken noodles with beef at medium spicy level. At first bite, I was immediately able to taste the spicy level I chose. A great sign. Then I sniffed and started sweating. Another great sign of good spice level. My husband ordered the yellow curry with tofu and medium spice level as well. At first he said it could be hotter but then midway through he decided it was more of a build up and thought the level was actually perfect. Serving size was great. You can definitely get another meal out of an order! We took the rest of our food home. I cannot wait to eat my leftovers today. What a great spot for a delicious, quick dinner!

The service was attentive and friendly. I needed a phone charge at the staff was kind enough to plug my phone at the counter and keep an eye on it. The food was a different twist on what we expected. We sampled their Thai Stix, which relate to a crab Rangoon, but the nicely melted cream cheese is flavored with kankimama and scallions. They are a bit messy, but worth it. Their Hoy Jaw are deep fried dumplings of shrimp, crab and mixed pork, deep fried with a crunchy texture. Both of these small plates come with a bright sweet chili sauce. The chicken satay were tender, moist and came with a peanut sauce that was the perfect blend between almost peanut butter and being too runny. For me, the best part of the meal was the Hung Lay Curry. The dish combines pork belly and pork shoulder, perfect cooked and tender in a curry that includes palm sugar, turmeric, peanuts, and fresh ginger. The curry is not dominated by curry powder, and has a rich, satisfying flavor that can be compared to a rich ramen broth. Spoon the sauce over the rice to let the flavors soak in.

Very non-inclusive of a huge portion of the population who does not eat certain meats. Thank you to the waiters who are honest and know the menu like ours did, but I think the menu could be vastly improved.
