This is a golden nugget in Columbia. The food and service are amazing and consistent. Their spice level meets everyone's needs from my son who enjoys dragon fire hot and me who enjoys very little. read more

Delicious food every time. We just moved to Columbia and have only gotten takeout, so I can't speak to the sit down service. But the food is always quality and tastes amazing! read more

Not only is this the best Thai food you will find in the growing metropolis of Columbia, but it's the best Thai food you'll find in the entire STL area. This is a restaurant worth crossing the river for, you won't regret it. Whatever your favorite Thai dish is, they got it cooked to perfection. Warning: the spice levels can vary depending upon the cook, so if spicy foods aren't your thing, tread lightly. read more

Not the most authentic, but also not the least. I really wish they had a "Thai style option" to satisfy those of us who don't want the sweetened American version of Thai food. The Kee Mao and Pad Thai noodle dishes are pretty good. The fried rice is OK but it's loaded with sweet bell peppers. Again, this is something that you would never find in Bangkok. Chicken Satay is very dull, go with the Gyozas instead. If you like it spicy, be sure to request some Prik Nam Plar (chilies with fish sauce). read more

I've been going here since 2016 , absolutely love this place and it is a staple of this town. Used to come here on leave anytime I came back home. Best in my opinion is kee moa noodles ( no vegetables, double chicken ) read more

This place has always been great... Now they've remodeled, and have more space to entertain. It looks like they added a patio too, although it wasn't open (weather). Food is great, service is great, speed of service is great, prices are great. Just go there. You'll like it. read more

You have to go here and get the yellow curry. It is ridiculously delicious. Their thai iced coffee is also soooooo good. Honestly I've been here many times and even when I've ordered something other than yellow curry it has been awesome. The people who work here are so sweet and honestly always just seem so grateful for the business even though they seem to always be busy. Definitely recommend this place! read more

I lived in Thailand for six years, 1998 to 2004, and loved the Thai food. This restaurant, The Thai House, is excellent! Their kitchen is able to cook true Thai food and NOT Americanized-Thai when requested (and ordered in Thai). This is a quick trip from South St. Louis County. The food is GREAT. The staff is friendly. The prices are right. Give it a try when you are in the mood for something different or want to taste REAL Thai food. read more

I've heard about this place from a bunch of people and decided to finally stop in and give it a try. Glad we did. We started with crab delight (crab rangoon) and it was delicious. We each had fried rice - I had the Thai House Fried Rice and he had the Beef Fried Rice. The portions are big and I was glad to have leftovers for work, but the food was so good we ate it all. We will definitely be back to try more things! read more

We love this restaurant! Food is amazing and service is fast. It is a hidden gem of Thai food.

Definitely a five-star restaurant. This place has the best pad Thai that I've ever tasted from coast-to-coast. The crab delight is the best! read more

LOVE the Thai house! Food is always fresh and delicious! I will have to say, watch the spice. I normally get a number 4, for my dish, but it varies from time to time. No problem though! We normally get our food to do. Always good!! read more

Delicious food. Who would've thought you'd find good authentic Thai food in the middle of the U.S. It's a plus that it's walking distance from my house as well. Good eats read more

People raved about this place. Built it up and got me giddy to give it a try. I was a bit skeptical considering this was a small town Thai restaurant. I met a friend there for dinner on a Wednesday night at around 6pm. The place was buzzing. Actually, the whole street was alive and parking was at a premium. We walked in out of the cold and into the tight waiting area to be seated. After a few minutes we were greeted and sat at a table nestled in a corner. It was a cute place with Polaroids of customers lining the walls and a few Asian trinkets here and there. Our waitress arrived and we were handed 2 incredibly odd menus that were almost like looking at an order form for car parts. We ordered a couple of waters and they were promptly placed in front of us and we were asked if we were ready to order. Not quite ready, we sent her away and studied our menus. There was a fair amount to choose from, and a group of duck specialty items I would have normally gunned for if not for the whole one I roasted the night before. Things started to pick up in the place and it was getting busy. I could tell our server was in the weeds, and it took her a good while to get back to us for our order. We did have our chance early, but wasted it catching up. This wasn't the server's fault, but it looks as if they were caught a little off guard. She returned, and we ordered a Dumpling Soup, Panang Curry, and some Crab Rangoon. The Rangoon came out swiftly and was served with a light sweet and sour sauce with an yellow tinge. These were pretty good, and much better than the frozen varieties that you get at those cookie cutter Chinese restaurants. 15 minutes after we finished our appetizer, the entrees arrived. A large bowl of broth with sprouts and dumplings and a plate with chicken and veggies covered in a red sauce arrived at our table. The panang had a nice aroma and thick slices of green and red peppers. I stirred it around and found a few leaves of really dark, wilted basil. I took my first bite, which contained one of these leaves and there was something off. The panang lacked kick, and that basil had an incredibly bitter flavor to it. I took a few more bites and picked around the last few bits of basil. It wasn't bad, but I've had much better in the freezer section of Trader Joe's. My companion thought the dumpling soup was good, and allowed me to have a few bites. The broth was heavy in garlic, which I liked, with little hints of cilantro and green onion. I snagged another bite with a dumpling which was heavy on garlic as well and some crisp sprouts that added some texture. It reminded me of Pho and I was craving some fresh herbs and rice noodles to go with it. Overall, this place wasn't bad. It doesn't live up to any of the places over on S. Grand or even Sen Thai downtown. However, if you're in the boondocks of Metro East, you'll be hard pressed to find anything better. read more

This might be the least likely place I'd ever expect to find a Thai restaurant. This IS the least likely place I'd ever expect to find a TASTY Thai restaurant. While visiting some friends in nearby Waterloo, the discussion of 'where the hell are we going to eat before the Cardinals game' began. Running through an endless list of fast food and local specialties, the decision for Thai food at the Thai House was made. Thus we embarked. The restaurant itself was a good size, clean, and inviting. The menu was fairly diverse, and the end result was excellent. I ordered the Thai House Noodles with crab. I was pleasantly surprised with the dish I was provided. The dish was delicious with lots of crab and the price was reasonable. My friends ordered the Pad Thai (which was pretty good) and a beef dish. The service was a little stiff, and as a startling reminder of where I was, I had to ask for chopsticks. There were not many negatives to this restaurant. If you're in the area and you like noodles and noodle dishes, this is definitely a place worth checking out. read more

Been eating here for 7 years now, great food! You need to be careful about the spice level, it will vary with the hotness of the ingredients. I usually stick with level one since I don't like really hot spicy food. read more

Better than my Thai experiences in St. Louis so far, which is odd. Green curry was solid, and at the spiciness level I asked for. They forgot something on the order, but made up for it and were apologetic. That doesn't always happen at other restaurants. read more

Probably one of the best (chicken) pad Thai dish in the country. However, it is not consistently the same. About 8- 9 times out of 10 it has a great flavor then another occasion it is not as flavorful and maybe that is a change of cooks? Holy chicken is good. I remember the pad thai though!! So so good! read more

This is hands down the BEST this restaurant I've been to! The pad Thai with chicken is incredible along with any curry meals. Highly recommended! read more

Been coming here for a few years now...I have no complaints. The food is very good, the spice levels (1-5) are consistent, and the price is right. I just had a dinner for two with drinks for 25 bucks. The serving sizes are very generous too. You can usually just walk in and get seated. I can't remember the last I time I had to wait. If you like Thai food, check out the Thai House on main street. They are across the street from Joe Boccardi's. (Another good restaurant in Columbia.) read more

I've eaten at Thai restaurants all across America and this is one of my favorites. Others may have fancier decor or may present the food more elaborately but few can top the flavors of the Thai House. The ingredients are always fresh and crisp. Favorite dishes: Chicken with Cashews, Swimming Angel, Red Curry with Chicken, & Phad Thai. The spring rolls are average and their crab delight (crab rangoon) are very good. You always get a complimentary house soup with every meal. Try it. Chances are good that if you drop in, I'll be there as well. I'm a regular. read more

Everything at Thai House is excellent. Best in the metro area. Great service. Your choice between a rice dish and a noodle dish can't miss. Thai House curries are all standouts. They also have excellent appetizers. read more

Of all the Thai places around the St. Louis metro (and a few in other cities) that I've eaten at, this has got to be in the top 2. (King and I is pretty good too). Was a resident of Columbia, and ate there regularly, and now that I've moved I still make the trip back to relive the tastes. Definitely worth it! read more

As a college student currently living in Springfield, MO I have grown to back away from any types of oriental food simply because Springfield actually holds the record for the most oriental restaurants in a square mile. With so much Chinese, Japanese, etc style cooking, I've become wary of the constant meals consisting of fried rice, a meat, and for me - crab rangoon. Keeping all of this in mind, I have never missed a trip to Thai House when I go home to Columbia for breaks. This place has by far the best Thai food I have ever come across, and as a college student I can appreciate the affordable prices! So, for all of those across the river - Thai House is definitely worth the drive! read more

Thai House has pretty decent Thai food...if you can get it. Just dont call for takeout when they're busy. After being hung up on for my first call, I called back, was placed on hold for 5 minutes and then told to call back in 15minutes, then when I called back, they told me to call back in 15 minutes again. Ridiculous. We ended up ordering elsewhere. I thought restaurants were struggling for business throughout this pandemic. Apparently not. read more

This is the best Thai restaurant in the area. We ordered Kanom Jeep, Thai spring rolls, dumpling soup and duck curry. Everything we ordered were amazing. The crispy garlic sprinkled on the Kanom Jeep was a nice touch. The spring rolls were tightly stuff and perfectly hand rolled. I was amazed at how someone could rolled these out to basically the same size. The duck curry was great and I especially love the bite of freshness I got with each bite of pineapple. My girlfriend said that the dumpling soup was a much better version of a similar Filipino soup. read more

I spent a weekend in Columbia, IL and ate here twice. We discovered it out first night in and liked it so much we ended our weekend with lunch there. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars because there were some inconsistencies but minor and still tasty food. Value. Well priced with good sized portions. I had a large bowl of Tom Yum soup for dinner and it was so satisfying. The flavor was diving, it was served piping hot and had a good amount of chicken in it. The same held true for my second dinning experience even though I tried a different entree. Fast. Our food came out of the kitchen quickly and as mention before, it was fresh off the stove. Taste. All that we sampled was delicious. Cucumber salad- yum. Tom Yum soup- rich and tasty. Green curry- creamy with a nice spice level. I am not sure I will ever return to Columbia but if I do, I know where I am eating! read more

Hands down the best Thai in the St. Louis area. Their dishes are all perfectly seasoned and spiced, and their curries especially are exemplary for several reasons - overall flavor, freshness, speed of service, and your ability to select the spice and protein of your choice. Seriously, these will be the curries you judge all others against. Pad Thai is a favorite, as is the chicken satay and any of the fried rice dishes. At lunch, enjoy a complementary bowl of chicken vegetable soup. Again - freshness and flavor abound. Finally, their service is always friendly and fast. Best place for Thai in the area. Worth the trip over the river. read more

This place is very tasty! I had the House Noodles, 4 spice as my entree and we tried the steamed dumplings (not called that on the menu-but it is described in the appetizer section) and the fried spring rolls. The only issue we had was slow service. But other than that..it was a nice place and we will be back! My friends ordered red curry with chicken at 4 spice and pad Thai at 4 spice. They both loved the their meals as well. It's nice that you can customize the amount of spice you want from 1-5. read more

Thai House is probably the best place to eat in town. I enjoy the Tom Yum soup #3 and my wife likes the pad Thai.

I am never disappointed with Thai house! Been a happy customer for 15 years! Thanks for all y'all do!

Barely any food. Over the years the quantity has gone down a lot. You can barely get full on a potion. This must be the lack of competition and greediness, unfortunately. read more

Voted best Thai restaurant by my family. They serve delicious fresh Thai food. The crab delight is the best around, always fresh and crispy. We love the pad Thai with a level two spice. They use fresh vegetables and higher quality meats. They serve a complimentary soup during their lunch hours that is a lot like an egg drop but with vegetables. I have never had a disappointing meal here and that is saying a lot! read more

Amazing food, fast and wonderful service. I'm not big on spicy, but one of our group was. Both of us loved our meals and got exactly what we wanted! Amazing spot, stop by if you get a chance! read more

Closest thing to being in Thailand yourself. I use to live overseas , so I can back this up. Awesome restaurant!

Having tried several different Thai Restraunts in the area, Thai House is simply the best.

Super delicious Thai food from a very cute restored place on Main Street in Columbia. The staff was very friendly and helped pick what I got to eat. I had never been there so this was nice to get suggestions. Food was 10/10 and staff was great too! I got chicken stir fry with rice. It was ready very fast and was delicious read more

Most of the time, I like to try different dishes, but here I usually just stick with Pad Thai. It's nice that they can customize the spice level, and the portion to price ratio is not bad at all. On occasion, I have their black rice pudding and certainly no complaints there! read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is. I am in love with their Thai fried rice, chicken satay, pad see iew, and my husband loves their crab delight. The waitresses and the servers are so kind and a pleasure. The wait is never long. The food is always fresh. If you are looking for good authentic Thai food, this is the place. They also have high levels of spice if you are into that kind of thing. I always go for no spice. read more

Biggest Thai teas ever!! Pad Thai is always my go to and it does not disappoint. The Pineapple Fried Rice is so delicious, I would recommend ordering one with the rest of your food even if you aren't that hungry. read more
