Well, I gave Diamond Thai another chance. It was worse this time than last time. First, the positive. One of my guests said the fresh spring rolls were better than Da Kao's. Big compliment. The restaurant is clean. The food was fair. Nohing id want to get again. The cocont cckekn was overcooked and other dishes had very little tase. The panang curry sauce was good. The peanut sauce, usually the best part of a thai meal, was pasty, thick, cold, bland, solid. Not good. The server took our order. She never came back. The cook brought our food, . I saw waitresss later, sitting, absorbed n a text conversation on her phone. No one else checked on us. No refills. Just cannot recommend this place anymore. Feels like the cook has just given up. They shouldnt be charging $12 per meal. This is $6 food. Food 2.5 star (no one got sick), service 2.5 star (nobody was rude) atmosphere 3.0. Poor visit, last visit. Oveall exprience a 2, poor. read more

I have never had a bad meal here. The food and service are great, I love the decor. I need to plan my next trip here soon.

This is a family restaurant, and the owner's adorable little boy was watching videos with Chinese and Thai subtitles. Very cute, and I enjoyed watching them, too. The food was good, and we enjoyed our dinner. We ate early and few others were in the restaurant. Always love that part of eating dinner early. read more

Excellent food, very good pad Thai, very good green bean stirfry dish, excellent service and very good eggplant.

I would give this restaurant 3.5 stars. This is my second time checking this place out. The first time I came, I waited to be seated for about 5 mins. Nobody greeted me and in the end, I just sat myself. I got the Thai beef noodle which was okay. It's similar to pho but did not really taste like it. It was a good portion size but I probably would not re-order it again. The second time I came, I was seated very quickly. I ordered the pumpkin curry with sticky rice. As an appetizer, I had the Golden bags. The golden bags were very crispy, very buttery and was filled with cream cheese. I was expecting the pumpkin curry to be flavored pumpkin but it wasn't. It also wasn't your typical creamy curry texture. It was watery like a soup consistency which had zucchini and kabocha pumpkin in it. It tasted more like a red curry than anything pumpkin flavored. But it tasted pretty good with a good amount of coconut. The sticky rice was dry and seemed like it was under cooked. It didn't seem like it was freshly cooked, but more like it was a packaged/microwaved instant type. But this place seems like it's the only Thai restaurant around so I may come back to try some more of their dishes. I hear that their noodles and rice dishes are yummy! read more

My experience was OK, but could have been better. When I walked in, there was a board that said that it's carry out only during the pandemic. Totally understandable. But then it was odd to see a table of 4 employees (or maybe family members) sitting there eating a feast. I ordered the chicken pad Thai, my go-to order with any new Thai place. I didn't think to ask about plastic silverware, given that they're only doing takeout, but once I got back on the road I realized they didn't include utensils. This is super frustrating because if you're taking your order to go, and you're not going home, what are you to do? The pad Thai itself was fine, but didn't have as deep of a flavor as I would've liked. read more

Wow! Lots of vegetarian options. Friendly service. We stopped on the way home from Omaha Zoo based only on Yelp reviews. It's a small homey restaurant. Prices were decent for the amount of food given. The food came out quickly. Five happy customers! read more

Surprised to find this gem (no pun intended) for lunch. A couple of dishes with a spice level of "5". They were hot for sure but tolerable. I had the pad Thai, mmm. Highly recommended! read more

Stopped here on the way to the black hill. Everything we ordered was wonderful! Will try to stop again on the way back through.

Location is not the best for parking with lots a foot traffic. Food was excellent and they owner was hospitable making a bowl of Tom Gai gah that was perfect. read more

Had orange chicken from their food truck and it was delicious. Definitely worth it. Be going to their restaurant on west 7th. Definitely

In the area for work & a coworker suggested this spot. Big portions, great flavor & nice employees. We had the #4 fried j rolls & they were amazing. I had the spicy basil fried rice with chicken.. it was a huge portion & delicious. My coworker had the wok fried noodles in Thai brown gravy with tofu.. great portion size & it was also delicious! If you are in the Sioux City area & enjoy great Thai you should stop here!! read more

This is your quintessential, mom and pop dining experience. The food is fresh, authentic, flavorful, and delicious. I highly recommend and have not been disappointed. read more

I was really looking forward to this place, but I hate to say that I've definitely had better. I ordered the duck curry and the pad Thai. The pad Thai was good, but lacked spice. There wasn't anything bad about it, but it wasn't a standout either. The noodles were also a bit hard. The duck curry was a bit too watery for me and barely had any duck in it. Again, this dish was crying out for some spice and needed to be way thicker. The curry flavor was quite muted and one of the weaker ones I've had. The one part that really bothered me besides the missing duck meat was the use of canned pineapples. This should be a crime against humanity for Thai restaurants. It was quite off-putting especially when the food isn't cheap. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I was a bit disappointed with the food. The flavors felt like they were very watered down to meet American palates and didn't taste authentically Thai. read more

Very good cashew chicken and wontons. Food came out so hot that I had to wait for it to cool down. Staff very nice and portion was large enough for me to have leftovers for lunch the next day. Suffering through a cold or it would have tasted even better. read more

Great food! Haven't had a bad meal. Love the garlic rice. You can't go wrong with the chicken pad thai

The food was delicious. Large portions! However, the service was a little slow and limited.

For those wanting authentic Thai, please go to Diamond Thai. They always make consistent great tasting meals. Spice levels depend on your ability. I would always recommend their Pad Thai with tofu and Pad See Yuu(not exactly sure of the spelling.). Great family with great food! read more

Traveled to SD and stopped by this good Thai restaurant. I would say price is pretty fair, lunch 6-7 dollars and dinner from 7-9 dollars. However, if you add beef or chicken, they cost extra. I'm not sure if there are any parking in the back, but we didn't have trouble finding street parking. This is also located in the area where all the shops are rundown and empty. The store itself was filled with many colors, and decorations. I think it's big enough to have 40-50 people in this restaurant. The waitress was nice and food came out quick. I've got my usual drunken noodles but they had curry as their sauce. Which I didn't really care for. Mine had a lot of eggs for some reason... overall this place is standard Thai restaurant. read more

We love Diamond Thai. The family that owns it is so sweet. They are always friendly and accommodating for our diet restrictions. My favorites are the Thai Turmeric Crepe and the Penang Curry read more

Good portions, and delicious food! The gentlemen that took my order on the phone and gave me my food was very friendly. Highly recommend this place. Only complaint I have is it was very hard to find a menu online! Other than that, everything was great! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in town. The pumpkin curry is amazing! I get it with tofu and a side of garlic rice. The portions are large so there is always enough for leftovers. I've also had their pad Thai, spicy wok noodles, glass noodle salad, pad kra praow and probably every appetizer on their menu... never had a bad meal. read more

Stopped here while on a road trip. I had wanted thai and read rave reviews. My husband and I weren't sure what to expect of Midwest Thai food, so we decided to play it safe and go with our tried and true dishes - Pad Thai and Green Curry. We ordered takeout and they never asked what spice level I wanted. Based on my other Midwest observations I assumed the spice level would be low and that was true. The curry was very watery and had only green vegetables which was strange to me. The pad thai was bland and dry - it needed more sauce. I don't think I'll ever find myself in Sioux City again, but if I do I will find somewhere else for dinner. read more

If you can get past the outside appearance and get through the door, you are guaranteed to enjoy your experience here. I've never had a disappointment with these guys. The service is always good..an A for effort, that's for sure! The dining area is always clean. And between my husband and I we've ordered almost everything on their vast menu and have yet to find something that wasn't good. Rumor has it, they don't use MSG either..another bonus in my book. I think my favorite is the spicy basil fried rice. If you like spicy but still wanna be able to eat your food without sweating go for medium ;) read more

Diamond Thai is a true "diamond in the rough." It's not in a picturesque part of town (if there is such a thing in Sioux City) nor is the building much to look at. The dining room is "intimate" though not horribly cramped. The owners have made the most with the dinky place on a shoestring budget, and the decor is cute and very clean. Where they obviously don't skimp is on the quality of the food, which is excellent. Whether you want it mild, "native hot" or somewhere in between, there are many delicious options and flavors. I had the Creamy Tom Yum soup and Pork Dumplings and Vegetables in a Clay Pot. A variety "heat" options were served on the side. I will return whenever I'm in town. read more

I've never had a bad experience here. The workers are really nice and the food is fantastic! It's a must try if you are tired of trying the same old chain restaurants. read more

I wanted to like this place, given that it's Sioux City's preeminent Thai restaurant - but it just wasn't good. The food, compared to Thai food I've had elsewhere in the country, was just bad. On the upside, the wait staff was very nice, and the food was very cheap. I ordered the Tom Kha Soup and some cream cheese and crab wontons as an appetizer. The Tom Kha had a lot of shredded lettuce in it, a feature I've never seen in other Tom Khas (I've ordered way too much Tom Kha in my life). The cream cheese and crab wontons had very little filling. The bad food is what really did this place in, and I didn't come back again on my many weeks in town for business. read more

Diamond Thai - Interior. - Thai Near Me - Sioux City, Iowa

I love Diamond Thai. Their food is incredible, flavorful, and has a beautiful presentation. You won't find a better thai restaurant around! They have the best mango sticky rice desert, garlic fried rice, curries, and friend sweet potatoes. This a great place to dine if you have vegan or vegetarian friends. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Sioux City! Absolutely delicious food. They are very quick too- when you order it to go it's ready like 15 minutes later. I recommend eating inside the restaurant if you can. it's very charming and cute on the inside. read more

Their food is excellent to eat especially their fried spring rolls and their egg rolls are okay too but the spring rolls are the best

I've seen some reviews on the curry being watery, but I don't think it's THAT thin. It's almost like a squash soup consistency. It's not so thin that it's literally like water, but it's not thick like an Indian curry. It's a medium consistency. I really like the yellow curry and the pumpkin curry. I think they're delicious! But, everyone has different pallets. I think the flavors are good, but that's just me. The Fried Sweet Potatoes Are DELICIOUS! *drools* The reason I am kicking down a star isn't because of the food being gross or anything, it's because they are pricey. Their price to portion doesn't make sense. The establishment itself is kind of in the ghetto and the building itself is a little run down looking. It's always HOT in there! It's clean, but small and a little "dank" feeling. If you feel like you have a little extra money to burn, the curry is REALLY good, just expensive. AND.. This is the ONLY place in town that has single serve BROWN RICE! read more

When I lived in Sioux City, I went to Diamond Thai all the time. Now that I live in Omaha, I find myself wanting it more than ever. I stopped in today for a pit stop during a road trip and all the memories came back. This food is the best quality Thai I've ever had. The atmosphere won't be your five star restaurant but none of the decor matters because the food will have you be first class on Thai Airlines. I love the Spicy Wok Noodle and fried spring rolls. I could eat there everyday. SO good. Vegan and vegetarian friendly!! read more

Diamond Thai - Spicy Wok Noodle with Fried Tofu - Thai Near Me - Sioux City, Iowa

After reading reviews, it seems like I may have had a bad experience. Had duck curry...no spice and tasted rotten. Maybe bad or old duck? There is also a $15 minimum on credit cards. My bill was around $13 and I had to use the in house ATM, which charges a $2 fee, in order to pay my bill. If I had known that I needed be above $15, I would have ordered an iced coffee to go or something. Basically I felt like they were squeezing extra $$ out of me. But I guess if you're the only Thai restaurant in town, then you are also the #1 Thai restaurant in town. Lower your expectations, bring cash. read more

Awful, overpriced, watery panang, so watery that when it arrived at my table I asked "are you sure this if panang??" Possibly worst panang I've ever had. The rice was pretty good. $15 minimum for cards/debit. Not a fan. read more

Their Pad Thai never disappoints. I always judge a Thai restaurant by their pad Thai and hands down this place is in my top spots. Never dry, always full of flavor, VERY good potions on their other dishes as well and so far I've never had any complaints on the food quality. read more

Holy moly, this is some of the best Thai we have had outside Thailand. We were driving through on our way to the grand canyon and saw the good reviews, but were still skeptical. While Diamond Thai is a little off the highway and a small hole in the wall, the food was delicious. We had Panang curry, pad Thai, fried rice and another rice noodle dish. All of the flavors and seasonings were spot on and very authentic. Things that were supposed to be spicy had just the right amount of heat. We live in a midwestern "foodie city" 10 times larger than Sioux City and this Thai is better than almost every Thai restaurant we have there. (I should also mention my husband is Asian and is a very harsh critic of Asian restaurants!) We all left full of glowing praise. Sioux City, you don't know what a gem you have! read more

Thai food has always been my first choice when eating out and was happy to try this place. We first tried it a few months back and was disappointed but I always give a place a second taste. Unfortunately it was still unbelievably bland and ill prepared. It had So little flavor and spices in the dishes and the vegetables are barely cut up and were under cooked. I was going to throw it but I took it home and basically spiced it up and cut the veg and ended up re-cooking the whole dish. The spicy basil rice would imply they added spices but it had very little flavor other than soy sauce. The best I can say about the yellow curry is it was yellow colored. However, the portion sizes are good for the money and the atmosphere is cozy enough. Food comes fairly quickly and the thai iced tea is excellent. That said, I would still not recommend this place to anyone whatsoever. read more
