    Chicken Satay with peanut sauce and cucumber salad
    Allison W.

    We've been coming here since they opened this family-run spot for authentic Thai cuisine over 20 years ago. The food has been reliably excellent! It is so nice to have a Thai option in a smaller town, and this is not your "good-for-a-small-town" Thai place. We regularly hear about friends from St. Louis making the trip across the river to Columbia just for Thai House. Our appetizer staples include Crab Delight and Chicken Satay (with peanut sauce and cucumber salad- yum!). For entrees, we usually go with the Crab Fried Rice, Pad Thai, and Yellow Curry. Pad See Ew is also good if you are in the mood for a thicker noodle. Bonus for those eating out with families- the kids menu chicken nuggets are better than we ever expected - real chicken breast pieces, not the usual frozen kind that someone pulled out of a bag in the back. They are often busy because the food is great. Depending on the night, the phone line may be busy and it could take over 45 minutes for your takeout to be ready. But it's worth it, so plan ahead. The new online ordering makes it all a little easier, so consider that. In-restaurant service is a bit quicker; it never feels as if we have to wait too long.

    Been coming here forever, never had anything bad. Also love their apps. The golden shrimp, spring rolls and crab delights are fantastic. Service is always fast and a very welcoming place.

    Daughter and I meet at Thai House for early dinner. She ordered tofu red pineapple curry with rice. She said it's very good. I had chicken red pineapple curry with rice. It was very good and not too spicy. Thank you for hospitality

    Located on a corner on Main Street, it's pretty easy to find. We parked along the side of the building (Oak street, I think) but there is also a lot of parking in the rear of the building. If you have limited mobility, the rear would be the better choice as the front also has steps to enter the building. We went in the front door along Main street which opens into a large waiting area. This area has the counter, the entrance to the kitchen, as well as a dining table. I would avoid that table as the area is quite busy and also leads to the rest of the dining area. We were quickly seated in the adjacent room at a table at the front of the building. It had a nice view of Main street but was also next to the main walkway between the waiting area and the rear dining area. There is enough walking room so we were not crowded, but the walkway can get busy. Quieter tables would be away from the front window or in the rear dining area. The menu held a few items I had not seen before and I decided to try the white curry. It's described as hot and sour curry. I selected heat level three. My dining partner selected the Grosi Mee with chicken. Our food arrived in about 15 minutes. The white curry was outstanding. I love hot and sour soup and this took that experience to another level. The heat level was certainly noticeable, but not overpowering, and the flavors were exceptional. This became my new favorite dish. The Grosi Mee was enjoyed by my dining partner. The flavors are more muted, especially compared to the white curry, but it was quite good for what it was. Service was quick and efficient. Prices were as would be expected. While my goal is to find a white curry recipe I can make myself, the Thai House white curry is the standard I am working toward.

    Hubby and I stopped in here for lunch and were glad we did. We ordered the steamed pork dumplings as an appetizer and then shared chicken pad thai. This was plenty for both of us, without making us miserable. If we hadn't had somewhere else to be, I would've pushed for the green tea ice cream, to top it off... The service was good and quick. The prices are reasonable. The menu has lots to choose from, so I feel the need to come back and EAT MORE!

    The spice levels vary, depending on the day and cooks, but overall it's delicious every time!
