Anybody know what is going on with The King and I (Thai) and Al Waha? They both seem to be empty/closed and undergoing construction. I hope they are just getting a face-life and reopen. I liked both of those joints.

If they went out of business, I'm very sad both for the business and for the future of South Grand. I thought it was on its way up...

I'm pretty sure Al Waha is closed for good. However, the King and I is news to me, and I'd be shocked if it closed. It was always really popular and one of the better Thai places in St. Louis.

What a bummer about Al Waha. I like their food, and I think I even had a Groupon for them. Though usually a restaurant offering a Groupon is about ready to go belly-up.

I just drove by K&I today and their doors were open and carpenters going in and out... place looked empty. Hope I'm wrong.

King and I is getting a long overdue renovation. Iraqi place is going into where Al Waha was.

Al Waha used to be called Sameem, and Sameem has reopened in The Grove. Great Afghani cuisine.

From my experience that's definitely not true. Some of KC's best and most popular restaurants offer Groupons on a regular basis.

Wow, I just thought that Sameem's was gone. We really liked that restaurant! I know where we're going one evening this weekend.
