Thai D’Lish is a fairly new restaurant in O’Fallon, Mo. It takes the place of the recently closed Sasi Thai Bistro on Highway K.
The picture above was our appetizer, listed on the menu as shrimp triangles. They were recommended by the hostess, and arrived quickly and hot. Flaky and crisply crust just melted in our mouths without even using the sweet sauce they provided. Inside, the filling was still hot, and a rich tasting shrimp mix. Bits of shrimp were mixed into the filling, but the taste was anything but fishy. A great choice to kick off the meal.
I chose the house speciality, Thai D’Lish. Pictured below.
This dish was marked as hot on the menu. Chicken and mixed vegetables with noodles in a light curry sauce were spicy as advertised. But not spicy as in burn your mouth hot, but more traditional. Lots of flavors and textures made this dish another great first time choice. Again, this was recommended by the hostess. The picture doesn’t do it justice, as it was well presented on the plate and piping hot.
My wife chose a more American dinner, a Thai Steak. The meat was seasoned with traditional Thai spices, again not hot, but flavorful. Jasmine rice and grilled asparagus provided interesting sides, and a nice change from potatoes. I swapped some of my chicken mix for the asparagus though, as my wife’s not a big fan.
The meals were both filling and gave us that comfort food feel. That left no room for desert on this visit. But the quality of the food, and the wonderful hostess put this restaurant on our must revisit list for sure.
Happy Eating,
Todd
