Why choose one dish for our Eat This column when we can choose a platter with six different dishes? The new King Platter at King & I Thai Cuisine, available for dine-in guests only, serves four to five people and offers the chance to try a wide variety of King & I’s menu, including pot stickers, crab Rangoon, pad Thai, Thai fried rice, and two of the restaurant’s newer menu items: tamarind shrimp satay and choo chee grilled salmon. The wide spread of offerings is akin to a traditional Thai meal, offering St. Louis diners a more authentic Thai experience. The tamarind shrimp satay is our favorite dish on this platter, but all are delicious, and the platter is a great way to sample some menu items you might not have ordered otherwise.
