Thai Pizza Co., St. Louis, MO

Shadow here checking out  a place that is part of Pat's Thai Restaurant's Thai food monopoly on the Delmar Loop.  Interesting fusion food idea.   I don't know  if there are any other Thai Pizza restaurants in the U.S.  I have seen similar fare (Green Curry Pizza, Tom Yum Goong Pizza)  on Pizza Hut and Pizza Company menus in Thailand.  They did have some Pizza varieties I have not seen before like Pad Thai, Laab, Sataay and Drunken.  I wish there was a pizza sampler, but alas I had to choose.   I figured I could not go wrong the the Tom Tum Goong Pizza.  The soup is a Thai trademark dish after all.  Ordered it with the thin crust.  Pizza came out very fast, about 5 minutes!  Maybe a little too fast.  Dough tasted like a stale cracker and not freshly baked,  I am guessing they must have pre-baked the crusts in advance (at least the thin crusts) to save time.  Pizza was loaded with cheese , too much cheese.  Could not really appreciate the flavor of the sauce.  The sauce did in fact have Tom Yum Flavor though.  I could taste the lemongrass, galanga and kaffir lime, but it was very subtle.  They should definitely cut down on the cheese.  Mushrooms on the pizza tasted like they were from a can, not good. They also had some more traditional Thai dishes on their menu, but I did not get to try them.  Decor was simple, clean and modern.  Service was decent, but  they did not really seem to make that personal connection with the customer.  Overall quite a bit disappointing.  Still this place is unique and for that alone I hope they stay open.  I am curious of the other combinations and could certainly  give this place another chance.

Tom Yum Goong Pizza, Thin Crust

Wolfgang Puck Cafe, Downtown Disney

Welcome from the food ninja for go gin chow restaurant reviews. My take on Wolfgang  Puck Cafe in Downtown Disney, what a place. Great decor, hip and up to date.  Has a family feel, but an open floor place. All i could say was whoa.  The service was great they were attentive and polite and the food great and delicious also filling me. Had the calamari for an appetizer that was addictive. When you started, it was hard to stop and the sushi was as good as it looked and it looked great. Then we had a pizza called the spicy shrimp pizza. Me and my brother wished it could of been bigger cause it was so good, it was a teaser. The sangria was nice and fruity but needed a little more pick me up. This visit was nothing short of fantastic. The prices were up there, but if you have the cash I would  definitely splurge it there. You wont be disappointed and it was not out there as far as prices go, but it is up there. So take it from the food ninja please check this place out and enjoy!

Greetings this is Shadow.  Very lively place in Downtown Disney.  This place can get quite packed on weekends.  Modern, stylized interior, you will definitely get service with a smile, which should be expected from Disney.  Menu is simple and some items can be pricy.  The calamari was not bad, crispy batter with a slight spicy kick.  From the sushi menu we ordered the Big Kahuna Roll, which was a spicy tuna roll topped with tuna.  Fish was very fresh and the roll had nice flavors, surprisingly this roll tasted even better when dipped in soy sauce and wasabi, this really seemed to enhance the flavors well.  The Pizza here was definitely gourmet pizza.  Ordered the spicy shrimp pizza - thin crust pizza topped with jumbo tiger prawns, zucchini, roasted eggplant, garlic, basil and olives.  Very unique and complex in flavors and textures.  Only complaint was that crust was slightly burnt on one side, unacceptable from a place as prestigious as Wolfgang Puck's.   Still, was quite happy overall.  So if you feel like spoiling yourself a little with a gourmet dining experience, be sure to give this place a try.  Happy Eating!
