Thai Restaurant that offers foods as close to authentic Thai Cuisine as you can get. The owner traveled far and wide to learn how to prepare all of these wonderful dishes. Most eateries in Thailand only server one dish so we as Americans need to appreciate all of the effort, time and patience it takes to create all of these dishes in one restaurant, we are oh so lucky. Im from Los Angeles, California and have visited many other authentic Thai Restaurants and truly feel like the lucky one when finding this gem of a restaurant. My wife is also a worldly person having visited dozens of countries and having lived in South Africa, she can also tell you how much she appreciates a great Thai Food Restaurant. We frequent this establishment as often as possible and I have most of my business meetings here because everyone who I work with loves Thai, especially this restaurant. If you have a problem with this place its because you dont know what good food should taste like and should stick to eating at McDonalds.

I went to this restaurant with my family and we ordered the chicken satay and as my moms eating the chicken she finds out that the chicken is RAW, now this is just RIDICULOUS. and at this point none of us are eating, as more food comes out we start to inspect the food and the egg had a terrible smell to it we were furious, and try our best to not cause a scene and as more food comes out i try the beef and OMG the beef disintegrated in my mouth i almost puked, and i tell the waiter shes like sorry. And we ask for a discount because we barely even touched our food. THEY GAVE US A 3 DOLLAR DISCOUNT, THIS IS JUST OUTRAGEOUS HOW ARE YOU ABOUT TO GIVE US A 3 DOLLAR DISCOUNT WHEN OUR FOOD SMELLED LIKE PUKE AND OUR FOOD WAS COMPLETELY UNDERCOOKED. WE PAID ANY WAY BECAUSE WE WERE DONE!! AND AT THE END THE WAITER ASKED US IF WE WANT A BOX AND WE WERE LIKE HELL NO!! NEVER GO HERE EVER THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE, UNLESS YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH BY ALL MEANS GO HEAD!!!

Really a nice place for some Thai food with reasonable prices.. been there for a lunch on a really sunny day.. the ambience isnt that great, but really good for the price and location for that restaurant.. they have a really large selection of the items in the menu, the waiters are really helpful to help us choose the food.. they do come in very good quality.. my personal complaint is that, their desserts arent that great.. they have around 4 varieties for desserts, we tried 3 of them.. they arent that great, just a sticky rice and different topping on it.. I would suggest not to take the black rice pudding, its just a waste of money.. rest are at least ok to eat them..

Wonderful Thai food! This is my very favorite Thai Restaurant, and it is among my favorites of any restaurant fare. Choose any item on the menu, or ask for suggestions from the owner, MS Pang. She is very sweet and she knows how to manage the food preparation to perfection. The decor is very pleasant and comfortable. My favorite menu selection is Number 44, Cashew Chicken. I ask for "level one" spicy, but others often tend to go to higher numbers. For desert, ask for "mango and sticky rice." It is just fantastic!

My fiancée and I were introduced to Thai Food while out visiting family in Phoenix, AZ. Needless to say we were hooked and tried searching for a good Thai Food restaurant when we got back home. I searched on Google for Thai in the area and found Tong Phoon. Weve loved it since the first visit, and though we have been to a couple other local "Thai" restaurants, this by far has been the best.

They have a great selection of Thai dishes! Definitely among my top 3 choices in O Fallon, Belleville/Shiloh/Fairview area. Their soups are flavourful, chicken and shrimp was fresh and good quality. Good service too. But if you like really spicy food, make sure you tell them twice about it. My medium level food was mild. And I had to request additional hot sauce. Limited beer selection.

So glad we went to Tong Phoon Thai restaurant rather than all the chains we passed by getting there. The food was awesome. We specially ordered a few things to cater to our kids and they were very helpful and nice about it. The kids loved the fried tofu, crab rangoon and sauces. I had Phad Thai with a perfect amount of heat. We left stuffed and wishing we lived closer.

It was great! They were able to get me in very quickly (same day in 20 min) and I really needed it due to some bad headaches. Angela gave me a 90 min deep massage and she did a great job. You could here some customers coming in and speaking with the worker up front but that doesnt bother me at all. They were very nice and professional. I will be going back.

Have been a few different times and it is one of the better, if not the best Thai place east side of the Mississippi... well east side in the STL area anyways. I loved the food and the waiter we got both times is super awesome and very polite. He actually remembered us from our very first visit. Small area/great atmosphere for a nice casual lunch/dinner.

DISGUSTING. The food was raw and had a Funky smell to it. My family and I ordered the volcano chicken, drunken noodles and the mai thai. Everything was undercooked and atleast a month old. We asked for a discount, and the manager gave us $3.50 off. HA. Save yourself from food poisoning.

My husband and I go here about once a month. The staff is very friendly. I have never had a bad dish here before. I love all of the noodle dishes and the fried rice is amazing! Great for eating in, take out and lunch! Lunch is 6.99 for egg roll, soup and an entree.

One of the best Thai restaurants I have ever been to. Has a "National Pride of Thailand" award. Has been family owned since it opened around 8 or so years ago. And the food has only gotten better. Delicious. Probably my favorite restaurant in Fairview Heights.

Good Thai food. We stopped here, hoping for decent food. I liked everything we ordered, but the Pad Thai. After eating so many flavorful items, the Pad Thai wasnt special. We lived the drunken noodles, yellow curry and mango special.

Good food with a fair spicy level. The service was unremarkable. The biggest issue was the scalling prices for subsitutions or extras, every change costed more. 2$ for a small bowl of rice was maybe a bit much. Otherwise, enjoyable.

Paa king? Is a Great server, always takes care of us. Always makes sure I have everything I need especially with having a 2 year old. Drunken noodle is a perfect dish, combination of things on the plate come together well

This is a small, comfortable restaurant with delicious Thai food. It is set back in a small strip mall. The service is always great. I love Thai food and this restaurant carries on an authentic Thai flavor.

Food cooked with heart, best ingredients. I have traveled and had some of the best Thai food... this is better. Atmosphere needs work but once you eat chef Pangs food... wow! Its worth an hour drive!
