Tong Phoon Thai - Fairview Heights

Great? eating was so good, much better than when you get it. I love the Thai icy. the server are beautiful and the atmosphere was clean inviting. I can't wait to go back!

FINALLY a proper THAI restaurant, staffed with THAI people who understand the food. My wife and I live in Thailand, but we've been staying in the St Louis Fairview Heights area for about two months. We have tried LOTS of local Thai restaurants, only to be disappointed over and over again. But Tong Phoon is serving real Thai food. First of all, they have the most important ingredient, which is the famous Thai (Jinda)Chili. Other restaurants in the area say they don't have any. How can you make Thai food without Thai chilies? I would say that you can't. Second, the owner here said they can customize food, like making it taste authentic rather than Americanized. Other restaurants told us that they cannot customize anything because they pre-make all the sauces in advance. The main problem with Americanized Thai food is the loads of sugar they add. I guess they want to make it taste like American-Chinese food, since this genre is more widely known. But the beauty of Thai cuisine is the balance of its impactful flavors spicy, sour, and sweet. In any case, from now on, whenever we are in town, Tong Phoon shall be our new go-to.

First time coming to this restaurant. Let’s me just say this place is AMAZING!!! Great service and amazing food Thai fried rice was super good 3 stars spicy was bomb as well as tom yum noodles soup 3 stars spicy as well super great! Thai iced tea was real good as the sprite was water down once we got it thank god the waitress gave us water.

Some of the best Thai in the Fairview area. Always have great sevi e and haven't gotten anything bad yet. The Golden Pillow is perfect on a cold day. The pineapple chicken was a great surprise. A very crispy yet juicy chicken breast with rice, pineapple, oranges, and a sauce.

We were passing through looking for something different and delicious. We happened upon your restaurant and were blown away by the quality and flavors! Absolutely delicious! We will be coming back by again and again!
