Reviews for Tong Phoon Thai Restaurant in Fairview Heights, IL
My mom treated us to an anniversary dinner on a Sunday night at Tong Phoon Thai. We had been once before and we were equally... pleased on our return visit. I enjoyed the pad Thai with a level 2 spice and it was quite a bit spicier than last time, butvariation on level of heat is to be expected. I will stick to level 1 next time. We ordered the fried spring rolls for anappetizer and enjoyed hot Jasmine tea to sip on while we waited for our entrées. Last time, we had the mango and coconut (Ithink) milk for dessert and it was delicious! Tasted like a dessert, but it was refreshing and light. We will be back! Read more
A small but excellent restaurant. Spicy dishes can be accommodated to your taste from spiciness 1 (hardly spicy) to spiciness 5... (very spicy). My spouse and I prefer spiciness 2 but taste is an individual experience. Even within a plate, spiciness can vary.Pictured is Pineapple Tangerine Chicken which is served with rice. Read more
Recently a few friends from work and I formed a supper club. Tong Phoon Thai was our first stop and it was an excellent choice. ... We started with 3 different appetizers: Shrimp in a Blanket, Spring Rolls, and Crab Rangoons. The first two were exceptional,I'd go so far to say the Spring Rolls were the best I've ever had. The Crab Rangoons were only okay and somewhat plain tasting.I got the Pad See Eew and it was also really good. Everything was very fresh. I gotta say the waiter was outstanding! He wasfriendly and engaging and I was grateful for his suggestions. We finished off with a dessert of his suggestion, it was Mangowith sticky rice. I had never tried this before and it was surprisingly good. The sticky rice was covered by half a mango slicedthin with all covered in a sweet, thick coconut sauce. The rice was warm and its taste reminded me of movie popcorn, thecombination of all the flavors isn't something I can easily describe other than it was delicious! The experience as a whole wasworthy of a top rating. I'd like to return sometime and explore the menu more. Read more
We really enjoyed our lunch! Panang was creamy and delicious. The proprietor (Pang) was very sweet.
My fave Thai place this side of the river. Love the Tom Kha, Panang Curry, crab Rangoon, spring rolls, summer rolls, Red... curry. I love the Thai ice tea here. The staff is always friendly and attentive. The restaurant is always clean and inviting. Iorder spicy dishes at a level 2-3 depending on who I am sharing with. I like it spicy though, so next time I may try a 4 andyell fire in the hole. Read more
