Thai Kitchen

Thai Kitchen is the label most cardholders see when they’ve visited a local Thai restaurant that uses the Toast (often shown as “TST*”) point‑of‑sale system. Because “Thai Kitchen” is a very common restaurant name in the United States and internationally, the exact business, location, and website cannot be determined from this statement description alone. In most cases, this charge is associated with an in‑person meal, takeout, delivery, or online order you (or someone in your household) placed at a Thai restaurant using Toast for payments.

This charge may appear on your bank or card statement after you dine in, order takeout, pay for delivery, or purchase a gift card from a Thai Kitchen–branded restaurant. You might see it for a one‑time meal charge, a bar tab, a large group check with tip, an online order placed through a Toast-powered ordering site, or a saved card used for a repeat order. Some banks show an initial small authorization or a slightly higher “pending” amount (to cover estimated tip) that later adjusts to the final total. If you left a tip, the final posted charge may be higher than the amount on the printed receipt before tip.

If you’re unsure about a Thai Kitchen / TST* charge, start by checking recent dining and delivery receipts, email confirmations, and text messages from food orders around the same date. Look at the full statement descriptor in your banking app, which may include a city or state that helps you match it to a specific visit. To resolve questions, contact your bank or card issuer for the full merchant details and, if needed, the restaurant’s phone number. You can also call the Thai restaurant you visited and ask them to look up the transaction by date, amount, and last four digits of your card. If the charge still doesn’t look familiar or appears duplicated, ask your bank to investigate or dispute it while you continue checking with anyone else who might have used your card (e.g., family members on the same account).
