Baan Thai

"Let me start by saying I am so incredibly Thankful to have this restaurant in my town! Incredible food, great quality, competitive pricing, awesome portion sizes. I always leave with enough for another meal. I cannot say enough good things about this little restaurant- it has a more casual feel, basic tables/seating. HOWEVER there is nothing basic about their food. The owner is wonderful and always makes sure everyone is attended to. She deals with people’s spice preferences with kindness- I once saw a table return the same dish 3 times saying it was too hot. Southern IL taste buds vs Authentic Thai cuisine can clash- but she handled it with care and did all she could to please a seriously picky person. We have another Thai place in town and the only thing I can say about that place is the atmosphere of the other seems a little more upscale. Though, the food and quality doesn’t match it or their portions/prices. I have recently heard a group of people playing critic and claiming which is the, “best Thai place” being this place on the IL side of STL—- and I used to live right next to it. Now- it’s decent, but it’s definitely not the best. Baan Thai would give them a run for their money. I am not using names of the other places as I am not trying to cause any issues for anywhere else— My point is- Baan Thai can hold its own and I am and always will be a customer."

"Best Thai Food in southern Illinois! Hands down ! From the taste to the presentation, absolutely delicious and an artful beauty!"

"So good! We got the green curry with veggies, and the spicy salmon; both are delicious. The staff are super helpful and nice, and the atmosphere is very chill. I love a place with calming music. There is a tv that was playing nature programming - much calmer than a lot of restaurants I’ve been in lately. If we’re ever back in the area, we will come here again."

"It gets the job done, but I wouldn’t call this great Thai food. All the spice was just sitting at the bottom of the plate. The basil rice was over cooked and lacked a depth of flavor. The Thai green iced tea was really good. In general the service was very slow. The food took almost a half hour to come out and there was no soup served with the lunch special as advertised."
