Thai Cuisine

Thai Cuisine stands out as one of Maryville's most authentic Thai restaurants, earning devoted local fans since its recent renovation. The refreshed interior creates a welcoming atmosphere while keeping the focus on their consistently excellent food. What sets this place apart is their commitment to genuine Thai flavors - you'll find the perfect balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and savory in classics like Pad Thai, Green Curry, and Tom Yum soup.

The spice level system here deserves special mention: rated from 1-5, it's remarkably accurate and honest. Level 3 delivers true medium heat that Thai food enthusiasts expect, while level 5 brings an impressive kick that even spice lovers should approach with respect. Former Chicago residents frequently comment that the quality matches or exceeds their favorite urban Thai spots.

Portions are notably generous, making the moderate pricing even more attractive. Each dish arrives beautifully presented, with fresh vegetables and herbs adding vibrant colors and flavors. The menu includes an extensive selection of curry dishes, stir-fries, noodle options, and traditional Thai soups. Vegetarians and gluten-sensitive diners will find plenty of accommodating choices, with the kitchen happy to adjust spice levels and ingredients upon request.

First-time visitors should try their Pad Thai - it's a reliable benchmark for any Thai restaurant, and here it's done particularly well with perfectly cooked rice noodles and a balanced tamarind sauce. The Tom Kha Gai (coconut chicken soup) also showcases their skilled handling of traditional Thai ingredients and flavors.
