Considered by many St. Louisans to be the tastiest of Thai restaurants, the King and I is a popular lunch and dinner spot everyday except Monday, when they are closed. The interior décor is simple, yet pleasant, and the patrons reflect this aesthetic. It's not unusual to see diners dressed in everything from jeans and sneakers to designer dresses and heels. However, it's the food, and not the décor, that's the star of the show. The curry dishes, traditional to Thailand, can be quite spicy, but are also available in mild and medium heats.
Diners who are apprehensive about ordering an unfamiliar dish they may not like should put their fears aside. The King and I has a solution to this problem; it's called dining the Thai way. This native method encourages dining companions to share several dishes among them, increasing the odds of finding something you enjoy. This congenial atmosphere can be enhanced by ordering one of the several exotic drinks on the menu, such as Fuji Mountain, Fog Cutter and Siam Stinker. If mixed drinks aren't your cup of tea, they also offer domestic beers, as well as foreign favorites from China and Japan. If you enjoy your dining experience and have a special event coming up, The King and I not only caters, but also hosts private parties within the restaurant.
