King & I Description:
Many St. Louisans learned to eat Thai here. As our palates have expanded, the King & I has ratcheted up its offerings, encouraging us to continue the study. Though carry-out and Western-style tables are available, one of the restaurant's most popular features is the classic Thai seating, where diners can experience an authentic meal in a setting to match. We suggest concentrating on main courses rather than appetizers, except for the green papaya salad. Entrées are led by a green curry with shrimp and a standout pad thai, which is good for novices---it's flavorful but not intimidating. We also recommend the soups and hot pots. Thai beer is the best accompaniment, though some of the lighter red wines and off-dry whites also work well. The kitchen is particularly good at respecting instructions on just how much heat a diner wants, but the cooks are thrilled to crank it all the way up.
