    PadseeU with chicken, Thai Iced Tea
    Carrie R.

    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.

    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

    Pad Thai
    Regina S.

    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.

    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.

    Yellow Curry with Chicken and Tom Kha Gai with Veggies

    Small Thai spot in CWE - food came fast, super hot (temperature) and the flavor was fantastic. First time here but will be back!

    Tom yum soup
    Robin R.

    Awesome and quick! This is a no nonsense restaurant with high quality dishes. Our choices were Tom yum, veg potstickers, and green curry. Good prices, too. Lots of pick up orders came and went while we dined indoors. We will definitely visit again!!

    Massaman curry
    Connor A.

    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.

    Pad Thai with chicken + Pad See U with chicken
    Erica H.

    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.

    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.

    Massaman curry with chicken - my fav curry
    Elaine S.

    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.

    Cuke salad, spring rolls, pork bun
    Güneş Ö.

    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.

    Very accommodating, patient, and greatly priced delicious Thai food! Wide verity of options to choose from, came here with family and had a feast! Boba, hot jasmine tea, Thai ramen! 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?! Creativity!

    Love it here! Amazing food and very friendly staff. I will always recommend here for Thai food in St. Louis!

    Apparently, some Chinese restaurants have a policy where they give you free egg rolls if you're a…read moreparty of six. I get that this is a Thai restaurant, not Chinese (though it's more Chinese than I am), but Meyou might consider such a policy. I would have benefited from it yesterday. I visited on a Wednesday evening with members of a running group. There were umpteen of us. If we'd been given a single egg roll appetizer, we would have been forced to cut it in tiny pieces and share. I would have been willing to do that, because I'm a confirmed, avowed savage. My reputation precedes me. Arguably, they should give you one free appetizer for every six members of your party. But I digress. Now, where was I? Ah yes, Meyou. I'd describe this place as a somewhat Americanized version of Thai food, based on what little I know from having recently visited Bangkok and eaten in roughly 40 or 50 restaurants, food stalls and what have you over the course of a few days, i.e. not a whole lot. You can get pad thai and various other soups, noodles and curries, along with fried rice, egg rolls, crab rangoon and chicken wings. It's got a little something for everyone. Do they charge you $0.25 for extra soy sauce? Can you call up and try to harangue them into giving you a free order of crab rangoon by claiming that they shorted you the last time you were there, knowing good and well they can count better than you? I'm not sure. I might try that on my next visit and report back. This time, I went with something called Pad See Ew, which wasn't nearly as gross as its name suggests. In fact, it was good. Its description on the menu, with broccoli, eggs and soy sauce, called to mind various things I might order from a Chinese takeout--which is what I tend to look for in a menu item. As a noodle dish, I figured the overall flavor profile might not be different from a lo mein lunch special I used to get decades ago, that I still fondly reminisce about on a weekly basis. I wasn't that far off from the mark. They let you choose the spice level, ranging from mild to hot. I usually get hot in most places, but I'm hesitant to do that at Asian restaurants, because they might have access to peppers that are technically considered research chemicals, like Temu Ozempic, and therefore not subject to FDA approval. There were a few girls there, and I didn't want to run the risk of my throat starting to close up. I'd have to find a new run group. Medium turned out to be just right for me, but maybe too spicy if you're expecting something along the lines of a buffalo wing. Even the mild, apparently, has a bit of a kick to it. The noodles were nice and slippery and cooked a touch beyond al dente, right in that Goldilocks zone between undercooked and mush. The heat, and the complexity provided by whatever they use to season this, helped offset the underlying sweetness. You get your choice of meat. No Diddy. I went with pork, natch, with apologies to the Honorable Minister. The amount they give you is surprisingly generous, except that this dish will run you. I'm talking modern-day Chipotle prices. Maybe a dollar or two more. Yikes! But I'd argue that the quality justifies it. If I lived nearby, and I had the means, I'd stop by on occasion.

Upon entering, there is a sandwich board advertising drinks and seasonal specials, such as mango sticky rice. It seemed to be a two-person operation on the weeknight we went. You check in with the host, who appeared to be taking turns serving guests with one other woman. I believe they have happy hour from 4 pm-6 pm on weekdays. We had waters, and I ordered a piña colada while my beau ordered a strawberry lemonade margarita. My friend ordered some appetizers for our table: spring rolls and Thai wings. The spring rolls arrived neatly plated atop green lettuce with a very loose dipping sauce, while the wings arrived perfectly crispy and hot with a thicker sauce that was slightly spicy. On the table, they had plenty of red chili flakes as well as a spicy sauce that we added to our wing sauce for more spice. I would say the chicken wings needed a pinch of sea salt. I ordered the Thai Fried Rice with chicken, my friend ordered Thai Fried Rice with shrimp (a pro--they remove the shells from the tails), and my beau ordered Spicy Kee Mao Noodles with beef. Every dish was hot, fragrant, colorful, and delicious. The meat was tender in every dish, with pops of color from bell peppers. However, service was very slow. At first, there was hardly anyone there, and then tables filled up quickly. Even before then, we had to flag a server down for various things: napkins, etc. My friend ordered some food to go for her son, and it did not come with utensils or napkins, so she had to ask for some. We also had to flag a server down just to get our bill. Once paid, on the way out, I saw the biggest roach I have ever seen. It was lying on its back, dead but still. I'm so glad I saw it after and not before dinner because otherwise, I would not have dined there. Based on parts of my experience, I am doubtful about returning.
