Thai Mama in Maryland Heights to Open on Saturday, March 16, 2024.

MARYLAND HEIGHTS, MO (StLouisRestaurantReview): In a long-awaited opening, Thai Mama in Maryland Heights announced that they would open this Saturday, March 16, 2024, at noon, offering their authentic Thai cuisine.

While the name is new, the menu items, service, and recipes are not new as many Thai food lovers might know their menu from Thai Kitchen, which has multiple locations, including:

The new name refers to an existing Thai Kitchen in Maryland Heights, which the owner of Thai Mama opened in 1999 but has since sold to an unrelated party. She decided that Thai Mama would be a good alternative to prevent public confusion.

Nonetheless, we believe that you can rely on other locations’ reviews to determine what this location offers in terms of quality.

This will be exciting news to the community. For months, local consumers have called or walked in to ask when they were opening. The volume of these calls has increased rather than decreased.

Who owns the Thai restaurant named Thai Mama?

Thai Mama is owned by Sasimonthon Ongartsutthikul, a Thai migrant who moved to the United States in 1995. She opened her first Thai Kitchen location in Maryland Heights. She lives in Maryland Heights and wants part of her business to return to the community. Additionally, she has opened Sasi Thai Market in the same shopping center to offer authentic Thai food ingredients.

Ongartsutthikul also opened Sasi Wholesale, which sells Thai food ingredients wholesale to restaurants and grocery stores. She sounds like a busy lady!

For years, Ongartsutthikul has dreamed of returning to Maryland Heights. Her dream is finally here, and it will be launched on Saturday.
