Tong Phoon Thai - Fairview Heights

Everyone is fretting about $4.20 gas prices, but this place decided to charge $6 for just four small crab rangoons. The prices on everything are inflated, with most items costing $2-4 more than usual. Despite the high prices, the food is delicious.

Tom kha is my favorite soup, and this is the best I've had in a very long time. The other dishes were just as delicious. I'll definitely be back!

My wife and I went to Tong Phoon restaurant on Valentine's Day. The service and food were both excellent! I ordered drunken noodles with pork. The server even informed me about the Thai name for the dish, which I couldn't pronounce. My wife had sweet and sour chicken, which was also delicious. The service matched the quality of the food - our server was attentive and efficient. We were seated and greeted right away, and our food arrived promptly. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience!

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.
