Aubergine - Featured Reviews (206)
Overall: Aubergine is a 10/10 experience and I highly recommend it, be it for a quick lunch or a dinner with friends. This restaurant is a delight to all senses. Service is fast and friendly. The menu is varied, and all items are top notch. This is a place to come again and again.
I was so impressed with my visit I had to write a review for the first time in months!
FOOD:
There are many options that can please people of all palates, with no compromises on authenticity for more adventurous eaters. The curry dishes are sublime and come highly recommended. The red curry is delicious and contains leafy greens and your choice of protein. The fish curry is rich, full-flavored, and delicious, with the authentic Thai flavor of kaffir lime leaves. The kao soi is an authentic treat from northern Thailand and will be a familiar favorite for anyone who has traveled to Thailand and enjoyed the dish prior.
The appetizers are excellent as well - I highly recommend the larb with pork - deliciously moist and made with flavorful herbs that pair perfectly with the pork. The chargrilled aubergine is phenomenal and truly unique to this restaurant - you will not want to miss it. Likewise, I recommend the chicken curry puffs. They are made with a flaky pastry and savory chicken curry filling that pairs perfectly with an optional sweet vinegar sauce.
DRINKS:
The owners have clearly put thought and care into crafting authentic Thai beverages for us to enjoy. The Thai iced tea is sweet but not overly so - and has a complex flavor to it that I have not experienced at other Thai restaurants. There is an additional variety of Thai tea on the menu that contains no cream, but rather includes lime juice - it is refreshing, light, and another signature item at Aubergine. The Thai coffee is also rich and full of flavor, and would be great item to get to-go after your meal.
I did not get any cocktails so I'm unable to comment on those - but a variety of Thai and other Asian imported beers are available.
SERVICE:
It is a pleasure to be served at Aubergine. The owners are kind and attentive, as well as all the wait staff. Food comes out quickly, hot and fresh.
Nice small restaurant with great food. My husband and I ate here during the week and the place was really busy. The servers were running around making sure all of the tables were taken care of. The food took a little while to come out but it was worth the wait. I ordered the drunken noodles with beef and a mild spice level. The drunken noodles were absolutely delicious. Hands down the best Thai noodles I have ever had. My husband ordered the Sweet Chili Basil Bomb with Stew beef and it was also delicious. The serving sizes were adequate. The Calamari appetizer were cooked very well and the pairing sauce was tasty. There is no street parking but there is a parking garage nearby. We walked less then 5 minutes from the garage to the restaurant. We would eat here again.
I was debating to give 5 or 4 stars to this restaurant, but decided to give 4 stars. From an authentic Thai food perspective, I have to give a 4 stars because they didn't use the right noodles for my drunken noodles. The taste is excellent, but wrong noodles and the noodles were hard instead of soft. If the chef wants a twist to the dish, instead of using the traditional flat rice noodles, they could use another type of rice noodles. The services are excellent.
If you're looking for great Thai food in downtown St Louis, then this is the place. I can say this with certainty because I lived in Thailand for nearly 5 years, so you can say I've had a few dishes to compare to...
I particularly love their curry. Any of them. The staff are always attentive and courteous. This place is on our regular rotation of places we love to eat at.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE food. Best yellow curry I have ever had in my life. Server was really friendly and sweet. We were a really large party and they really went the extra mile. Thank you so much!
The food was amazing and packed with flavor! We thoroughly enjoyed the crab Rangoon, aubergine appetizer, yellow curry, green curry, and vegetable stir fry. The employees were extremely kind and attentive.
We had walked past this place probably 100 times but it was always closed when we were out, we finally got the chance to go and oh. my. god. They deserve their high rating 100% compliments to the chef, our coconut shrimp appetizer was delicious and our entrees were BOMB. I had the kao soi and it left me wanting more. So much better then Sen Thai and better priced in my opinion. The staff was so nice and attentive, and the atmosphere was so calming.
We loved the genuine Pad Thai, Tofu Eggplant, and the curries so much we ate at Aubergine both nights we were visiting St Louis. Lovely friendly service and well priced too. If you love real Thai food, you'll love Aubergine.
Cozy restaurant. Food made to order and with that, it did not come out at the same time. We ordered Thai Rama, pad Thai and pineapple fried rice. Everything was extremely flavorful and delicious. Great "hole in the wall" for a quick lunch.
I tried spicy fried rice with shrimp and salmon skin hand roll. Both were delicious. Super clean and spotless restaurant. The Chef was so nice and welcomed all the customers. They offer all types of proteins and veggies in their menu for their dishes

I love Blue Sky! The studio itself is beautiful, and has a very warm and inviting atmosphere. They have a great range of classes, and all of the teachers are very kind and helpful. Itâs such a great part of the community, I appreciate their wonderf
Iâve been twice for the Yes Move class and it is SO much fun! I hadnât worked out publicly in years and felt really self conscious about starting to again, but this class is so relaxed, so fun, and no one cares what you look like or how good of a
Iâve been with BarreSTL since April 2023, and Iâm so glad I found this studio! I was very in to working out before pregnancy, but had felt defeated after 4 births in 5 years. I felt like I could never make time for working out and getting strong
Came here for my depression-themed birthday (39, get it?). Loved the ambiance, exactly what I was looking for. Had a good menu of cocktails and mocktails. This isnât the place to party and get drunk. This is the place to sit and enjoy the company a
Out of this world experience to be able to hear from the chef before each course is served. As a fan of Missouri history, to learn and taste recipes that are over 100 years old is a gift. Restaurants like this usually only exist in New York or overs
Literally the best place for artist to meet supportive artists. Opening nights are packed but fun and full of energy. I cant wait to visit again â¤ï¸
Cafe de Blaire is a hidden gem in downtown St. Louis. My husband and I ordered caramel machiatto and found this to be finely balanced medium to strong coffee. The kids ordered the handmade ice cream in waffle cones. The ice cream is super creamy and
