South Side Wok

Oh. My. Gosh. Everything was THE BEST THAI experience I’ve EVER had. I’ve never left the USA so… but WOW‼️‼️‼️ The crab Rangoon sauce is not the red crud, it’s the real deal. The stir fried ginger, I think it was, was phenomenal! ALL the food and the boboa ice coffee was so excellent, my dear friend was slurping the bottom of the cup; one of her pet peeves. But she was slurping! Said as soon as she got the first drink of that, she knew we were at a fabulous place. This is our go to Thai restaurant from here on out. We request if the cook ever leaves here, we are given the opportunity to follow them. For real❣️😋

This unassuming Thai restaurant is a gem hidden in plain sight. Don't let the strip center location fool you. We've tried several Thai places throughout the Metro, who have glitz and dark woods to woe you in ... but never once have we found ourselves craving their food. Thai Orchid is in an understated location across from Mehlville High School (Go Panthers!), that I've/we've driven past hundreds of times. Until we stopped on a whim three years ago it blended into the commercial scenery of South County. Now? Whenever we're running errands and looking for an amazing curry we stop in. Great service. Amazing owners. And food that will have you craving another taste!
