The best service. The kindest hearts. The best food. Thai 202 is THE SPOT. Don't sleep on it. Super grateful for the awesome experience I had the other day. Definitely will be a loyal, repeat customer from now on :) read more

Overall: not terrible but wasn't overly impressed. Food: the food was okay. I got the spring rolls and pineapple fried rice with chicken, which were OK. The rice didn't have as much flavor as I would like and I think some other Thai places in the area have better options. I would like to come back to this place and try some of their other dishes, like their noodles and their curries. Service: service was great, no complaints about that. I ordered to go, and the food came out quick. Ambience: it's a small place and if it gets busy, it might be tough to find seating here. read more

Quaint little Thai spot located at the corner of Euclid and Maryland in the CWE. Have walked here several times for lunch. Seating is limited, offering options for both indoor and outdoor. They are quick and fast, friendly and reasonably priced. I expected more from than place with all the rave reviews but it's more generic Asian cuisine than heart and soul cuisine. There food is visually appealing but lacking something extra in the flavor profile. I can't quite put my hands on it. I've tried their fried rice and it was nothing special, actually it was not good at all, gummy, tasted more like white rice with soy sauce and limited msg amongst things. The sesame chicken is literally just ok. Also tried one of their the pad lunch specials, added egg, again just OK. Love the fake food display in the window. read more

If you love spicy then you can definitely come here. I got the pineapple rice with spice level three and the heat was there! I enjoy spicy, and flavorful dishes so this was exciting. The fried rice was good, but unfortunately there wasn't any pineapple in the fried rice which I was expecting that sweet and spicy flavor. I see myself getting this again either way. Now the spring rolls 10/10. I'm one to always go for crab ragoons but I decided to get something else instead today, I already want more!! I was in the mood for something crunchy and this hit. read more

My usual spot was closed today and I've been meaning to expand my Thai collection in stl. I ordered the PadSeeU with chicken and it wasn't too bad, the soy sauce was stronger than what I'm used to but I'm satisfied. I also got a Thai iced tea and decided to add boba to it. Very glad I did! The right amount of boba and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Waiting for my take out order wasn't too long, it wasn't a very busy night (Tuesday). The inside was nice and cozy, the tables weren't exactly clean but honestly, I prefer things a little lived in. I'll probably explore other options but glad I gave this place a go. read more

Surprisingly great fine. Really enjoyed the food here. Got the green curry and pad thai. They have good portions and it was great to have leftovers for later. Order at the register and then choose a sit to be at. Service was fast. Small spot here and limited seats inside. read more

I ordered pick up. It was ready in less than 15 minutes. Fast service. Cashier had a smile and a thank you. Offered a menu. Cute welcoming place. I even actually thought about taking a seat. Cute place. It's hard with Thai level spice. I did 3 and did not have a kick for me. Beef was not tender. Curry was good for a mild sauce. Would have liked more meat and veggies. Not the best. Not the worst. I would order extra meat and a hotter level read more

I can't stop thinking about the pad Thai at Thai 202. This little hole in the wall was the perfect dinner spot for a night in St. Louis. With a casual ambience, Thai 202 provides great food without having to stress about what you're going to wear. Service is standard. If great service is something you're looking for, this is probably not your spot. Order at the counter and food is delivered to your table. Small spot, so you may not get a spot during one of their rushes, but to go options are available. Although ambience, decor, and service are bland, the food is amazing so I'd definitely recommend checking it out. Street parking. read more

Thai 202 - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Recently ordered here for takeout, and everything I ordered online was ready on time. I LOVE Thai food and have tried many different spots across St. Louis, so I must say that Thai 202 was somewhat underwhelming to me. Nothing I tried was bad per se, but I can't say I was impressed or blown away. However, I think the menu is pretty reasonably priced, and the portion sizes were plenty big enough for me to have leftovers. I had the Pad See-U with chicken and no egg. I also ordered a side of white rice. My partner tried the spicy Pad Kaprow. We shared some spring rolls and crab rangoon. I like Thai 202's convenient location in proximity to me and that it's a quick option if I'm short on time, but I don't think this would be the first place to pop in my head when I'm craving authentic Thai food. read more

WOW. Let me start by saying I have had a lot of thai food. Definitely one of my fav genres so I've had some good dishes. But this was by far the best Pad Siew I've ever had. The fresh noodles are insanely good and the flavor is unreal. You GOTTA try it. The Massaman curry was also incredibly flavorful. A little spicy for my taste but the flavor was incredible. The service was SUPER fast too. Like less than 5 minutes from ordering! Vibe is great. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

We like this place , dishes are authentic and always served hot and great presentation.

A cute little cafe for Thai food! It is located in a busier area, so you'd need to find street parking nearby. We ordered pad Thai and pad see u, and I think the food is sweeter than my liking. However, you can adjust the spice level when you order! There were not a lot of seats insides, and you have you get your own water. It's cute to walk around after a meal. read more

Thai 202 - Pad Thai with chicken + Pad See U with chicken - Thai Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Thai 102 was better than I thought it would be! I did an online order for in-person pick-up first, then did a takeout order the second time. The staff is nice. The space is quite small with pretty limited indoor seating, but it's very cozy and homey. Prices are fair. Service is standard. I've tried their Tom Yum with tofu and no mushrooms, their Tom Kha with chicken and no mushrooms, and their Pad Kee Mao with chicken. All dishes were ordered with maximum spice, which I felt was actually the perfect amount to both feel a mild kick while still being able to taste the food just fine. Both soups had a bit more sweetness to it than I was used to, but they were still quite yummy. The Pad Kee Mao probably has my strongest recommendation because of just how flavorful and texturally well-done it was; the sauteed onions, lightly cooked bell peppers that still have some mild crunch to them, perfectly cooked noodles, stringy egg, and jammy tomatoes came together so well. It's also coated in a nice sauce so it wasn't dry like some places make it. Everything was well-sized. I will say that my preference is to do an online order, because the staff doesn't ask which spice level I want in-person. Otherwise, I'm glad to have found a solid comfort food spot. read more

It's just awful - as if it can get any worse. This may be my worst Yelp review ever. I was subjected to their food recently not by choice but because we were in the block my husband was hangry and needed something quick. He got the pad Thai. He got me the panang curry. Long story short: both were just awful to the point of inedible - as if they were both dumped with sugar and nothing else. Zero balance, just awful sugary taste. Just don't. None of these dishes taste anything remotely like when they first opened almost a decade ago. Also, see if any Asians give good recent reviews of this place...I highly doubt it. read more

Second time here and today, I came here for lunch. It wasn't busy. Staff was very friendly. They greeted us by bowing, I love it! Veggie spring rolls were fresh, crunchy, umami + more delicious with the red sauce. Pork bun was rich flavorful, I love it! But I was hoping to get traditional cuke salad, all I got was lots of lots of sliced cukes with giant onion pieces swimming in watery sesame oil. Also the prices skyrocketed. :/ booo.. I am hoping to get more from this cute little place next time. read more

Pad se dishes and more! It was so good!! The inside is spacious and relatively pleasant, the outside seating is great on a really nice day. Recommend going here! An STL Staple that's been around for a LONG time. Which is always a plus. And did I mention toon the super cool art pieces in front that display what the dishes will look like?!

Still the best Thai in the Saint Louis area hands down, doesn't mean it's the best ever but it's good. 4 stars, the portion sizes are increasingly shrinking. No other complaints. read more

The young lady was not at all welcoming. Her reply to every question was rude, including when we asked for a to-go container. She pointed to a shelf and rudely said without any eye contact, "Over there." To top it off the food is far less quality than other local Thai restaurants. Go so where else; you won't regret it. read more

Used to love this place... was our go to when we in the city. White rice was cold, Sesame chicken had 10 pieces and the sauce looked like motor oil. Wife complained about her chicken tasting old. Hopefully this is a reality check and you get back to what used to be. Again this was the go to place. read more

Reliable Thai Flavors For A Speedy/On-The-Go Meal Environment: A smaller restaurant that can sometimes feel a bit cramped considering the amount of traffic coming in and out (lots of to go orders, just like myself), but definitely a home-y, hole in the wall type vibe in the CWE. The staff is super friendly and they're always smiling, a good sign this food is made from the heart! The service is quick, order-to-food time is about 10 minutes at a moderately busy hour. Food: I tried the Basil Fried Rice with Tofu (pictures attached). I've tried the Chicken here as well, and it is good, on par with other Thai restaurants around but not a stand out. The rice here is cooked to perfection, little bit of bite, right amount of chew, and a little bit of crispiness for texture. The flavors are also good, but felt it missed some of the umami/complexity that other restaurants consistently bring-- may have to do with the quickness of the service and now allowing the extra minute to develop the flavors. The vegetables were crisp (maybe a bit too crispy/raw?). Their fried tofu was moderately crisp and at par for tofu at Thai places. If you like spicy foods, this place definitely hits on the spicy game though!! Rating: 3.5/5, a middle tier, reliable Thai spot. Can't put them in the 4 category until those umami flavors really really come through. They produce good food but I think the speed of their service may be a downfall. They have great potential and the extra 1-2 minutes to develop the flavors in the dish could make a world of difference. I've tried a few of their noodle dishes here and am not really a fan (other places do them better). I have tried their curries though, which are STELLAR (can't reflect that in this rating though because I didn't try it this time). I'll be back for some more curry (and an updated review) and also some fried rice if I need a quick meal! Definitely recommend as a lunch spot! read more

One of the best Thai restaurants in St. Louis. I love this place. Everyone should visit here. Super friendly staff. The boba rocks.

I have been coming to Thai 202 for as long as I. A remember. They are, and have always been, super fast. Their food is delicious. I have also consistently had great service. If you are looking for warm, delicious food in a hurry, come here today. There is space to eat inside or you can take it to go! read more

I really enjoy the pad Kee mau and occasionally I will get the Panang Curry. The only thing I would change if I could is that the spice levels can be inconsistent. There are times I get a spice level 2 and it's more like a 4 and then there are times that I really want it spicy and ask for a spice level 5 and the item doesn't have that much spice. The service is quick and they are welcoming. The ambience is that of a very small dining room with vibrant colors. It's one of my go to restaurants when I'm out and about at work. read more

Our newest favorite place to eat in St. Louis! My boyfriend and I decided to stop in to eat here after touring Washington University in St. Louis due to its close proximity. When we walked in the ambiance was vibrant and welcoming, perfectly decorated for the holidays. The service was great and very helpful as well. There were many food options, however we decided to settle on the Yellow Chicken Curry and Pork Pad-See-U. We were truly astonished by how delicious both dishes were, especially the Chicken Curry. It was flavorful, the meat was abundant, and the spices were perfectly balanced. We also order Thai Tea which was perfectly sweet. All the menu items felt decently priced. The only small complaint I would have is that I wish the Pad-See-U had a bit more color to them for a caramelization/char. Also, they only give you one bowl of rice alongside the curry, and I wished we were given more because the curry was so scrumptious! We have already recommended our friends to visit and they gave stellar reviews as well. This restaurant is definitely one of our favorites and we are excited to return again. read more

It is a small, hidden Thai restaurant that serves delicious goods and has a great selection of beverages. The staff was friendly, and the service was fast. I ordered pad thai, pork bun, and Thai iced tea. The portion for pad thai was huge, and every serving was so good and tasty. It had an authentic taste. I highly recommend this hole-in-a-wall restaurant if you want Thai food in the CWE area. read more

We did takeout and had a number of dishes and appetizers. Everything was not as flavorful as most other Thai restaurants we've had. The orange chicken and steamed dumplings were especially bland. Serving sizes of rice with entrees are also smaller than normal. In n the bright side, they prepped the order quickly. read more

Toss up from 3-4, the food is ok, the vibe is great, the price is too high for the quality. That said I like this hole in the wall. Don't bother with freind spring rolls or pot stickers they are from a frozen food isle near you, but the pad Thai on a cold day makes this place inviting. read more

All I did was go to school in the CWE, and now I'm addicted to this place. I literally cannot stop going back. Might be small but definitely a hole in the wall and a place I'll never forget. If you like boba please try theirs it's 11/10, noodles fire. If you're sensitive to spicy do not go above 2, food is always done freaky fast, and everybody is so extremely nice in there. read more

I cannot say how much I love this place! I know some may say "not authentic" well, whatever it is I will settle with delicious! I love how they always follow special requests, without hassle or question! My wife doesn't like green bell peppers and without fail will request them to be left off. This is just about the only place that observes her request without error. They actually pay attention to patrons and seek to please! So, the pineapple fried rice is a winner. The cashed chicken is also beyond good. I love how the sauce that accompanies the cashew chicken isn't MSG based but thin and light instead. Stir fried (not deep fried) chicken breast that is cut unnaturally thin! I mention this because the thin cut is an homage to flavor! Chicken breast can be dry and not very flavorful but this cut allows the seasonings to penetrate the chicken and ends up with a flavor bomb in your mouth. Good stuff. Also, you can't go wrong with the veggie potstickers! Coming from a person that isn't a typical fan of potstickers, we always split the order because I find them oddly addicting! read more

Ordered as take-out with delivery from Postmates to University City apartment. I decided to check "express delivery" because we were really hungry but couldn't leave the apartment, and to my surprise, delivery was guaranteed in 30min or less, and it actually arrived in less than 30min during the 6pm hour! Flavors were great. Sauces were full of rich natural ingredients and spices. We ordered Pad See-U, Veggie Noodles, Crab Rangoon, Orange Chicken, Chicken Satay, and Pot Stickers- which was enough to feed five people, but ended up becoming easy leftovers. The to-go packaging was high quality reusable or recyclable materials, and everything arrived fresh and still warm. Would absolutely order takeout from them again! read more

Not that I want everyone to know this because I feel like we discovered a treasure... but this has to be said. Thai 202 is the best Thai food we've had in the city. I'd even argue the best Asian food in the city. We moved here from Seattle a year and a half ago and couldn't find a good Thai restaurant... until today We got the vegetable dumplings (amazing!), the Tom Kah soup with tofu (perfection), pad Thai , pad broccoli and green curry. Every dish was delicious and hit the spot. Highly recommend, but save us a table! read more
