    Ka Pow Minced Chicken
    Dan D.

    I liked Monsoon Siam, the service was super fast & friendly. The outside patio was full on a sunny afternoon, and looked like it'd be an awesome place to sit. The interior was casual, nothing fancy. I was hoping the food was going to be *awesome*, but it was Ok: not bad, but not great - FWIW: the portions were quite generous :/

    I have made it back to this fine establishment. Once again, it fails to disappoint. I decided to toughen up and get the spiciest thing I could find on the menu. It was no joke hot but quite delicious. Excellent date spot in Charlottesville. Would and will come again.

    HAT YAI NOODLE

    My best friend and I were ranking cuisines after we ate here and we both agreed that Thai was probably in top 5 -- not sure if Monsoon Siam ended up skewing it because honestly it was that good. We got the hat yay noodle, crispy pork noodle, and fresh rolls. The peanut sauce that goes with the fresh rolls is borderline drinkable and honestly good enough of a reason to order it to begin with. I absolutely love how crunchy and fresh the vegetables are and it's so well-balanced with the creaminess of the avocado. The crispy texture of the coating on the pork paired really well with the softness of the noodles, and the presentation was immaculate, although the meat tasted a little bit gamey. But I think the real star of the show was the hat yay noodles. It was so sweet and savory at the same time, perfectly saucy, and the chewy noodles provided such a great comparison to the crunchy veggies and the outer fried rice paper! The seafood was also a really nice touch. The interior is super duper cute and I would love to come back on a day trip to try out more of the dishes they have.

    Great food! The service was good...just remember to have some patience if you go on a weekend. When we went, they had people waiting to be seated inside and outside. The food is worth the wait. I liked how you could dine inside or outside though we chose inside. The Tom Yum soup was perfect to help my sinus issues. The Po Goong Ob (also know as pad woo sen) was excellent! I've never had it with crabmeat and shrimp so it was a great treat. The prices were very reasonable. Check it out!

    Great Thai my favorite Thai in Charlottesville. The duck is amazing and worth it. Hot tea is good too

    My brother said this was the spot for Thai food down at UVA, so we decided to stop by for lunch. We ordered a variety of dishes and the dishes were pretty solid. The best thing we had was the Drunken Noodles that had a great flavor, with just the right amount of heat and thick chewy noodles. All the other dishes were alright in my opinion, so would definitely come here for the Drunken Noodles. Great service and will satisfy your Thai craving at UVA.

    What a great little Thai place! It's in an old house with maybe enough seating for 25 people. The service was good and the servers were very knowledgeable about vegan and vegetarian adjustments. The food was amazing. The spice was perfect. The tea was sweet. I will definitely return when I visit Charlottesville again.

    Pad See Ew and Crispy Pork Noodles
    Jen ..

    Interior is quaint with nice seating and abundant greenery. The beef pad see ew was full of flavor with a good kick while the crispy pork noodles was a little less complex in taste, more umami and simple. Ended the meal with the mango sticky rice which was not too sweet but portion size seemed a bit lacking for the price.

    Great authentic Thai food in the middle of unlikely place - Charlottesville! I was visiting C-ville with my extended family just for half a day and I chose this place over so many good lunch options, and Monsoon Siam delivered like ... a monsoon rain of flavors! (See what I did there?) First, it's a bit off the Main Street so you might be tempted to not go there... but Main Street means more price for not always better quality... so check one box. And it did not disappoint my large group of family - almost every dish we ordered was tasty in that authentic Thai way and service was also prompt. We had kids from toddler to teen ages and they all went silent eating, and all the adults were sharing and enjoying. Just to highlight a few, my Hai Yat noodle was absolutely delicious... perfect chewy noodles in savory sauce with tons of fresh delicious seafood. Other winners were pad kee mao (drunken noodle), pad Thai, and crab fried rice. One minor mistake was when we didn't get the Kao Soi noodle dish because there was misunderstanding and they brought another dish instead which was gingery... but even that, we finished it all so wasn't a big deal. Their Thai iced tea was a tad bit too sweet though. Everybody left with a fully belly and we even took a group pic to commemorate our lunch. Definitely stop by for some authentic Thai flavor monsoon. You won't be disappointed - coming from someone who was in Bangkok just few months ago.

    Ka Pow Mince Chicken
    Anushka M.

    When we walked in it smelled amazing, so I knew this would be a good spot! They have a unique menu with traditional Thai dishes as well as some I haven't heard of. Based on reviews I tried their ka pow minced chicken with no fried egg. It was delicious! It ordered an extra side of rice with it because I prefer more rice with my dishes, and it came in handy. Another dish that one of my friends got that was really good were their volcano noodles. Their spice levels go up to level 5 Thai spice. I ordered spice level 3 but honestly could have gone up to 4, but I can handle spice pretty well.

    Monsoon Siam is a pretty small restaurant that doesn't have much seating or its own parking lot. I'd heard really good things about the food here and came with a group of friends. Sadly, the experience that I had here was firmly below mid. The food took 30+ minutes to come out, and it wasn't that they forgot about us - people around us were also not getting their food either. This place is either understaffed or the logistics need some work. With regards to the food itself, it was good but not great. My duck noodles came in a sauce that was supposed to be a little spicy (it wasn't). The duck itself was seasoned well and quite tasty, but the noodles were okay. We were all very hungry by the time we got our food, which probably made the food taste better than it was. When we got our bill, we realized that they had built in a mandatory 20% tip, which is particularly annoying as we had received such bad service. This place would be quite good if the service was remotely functional

    The ka pow chicken and massaman curry was really good!! The best is the drunken noodle though, the best one I've ever tried.

    Good variety in the menu but quality consistency could be better. We ordered pho soup, Thai fried…read morerice and wonton soup. The wonton soup tasted extremely salty and looked dark as if someone put soy sauce in it. This is the first time in my entire life where I tasted bad wonton soup. The won ton itself was great. It was just the salty broth. I make this at home, and it is not that difficult to make. It is supposed to be a simple broth (partly the reason why I ordered it because I wanted something simple). I told them about the saltiness. They tried to make it right by bringing out another soup with a better broth. The pho was just okay but was not as fragrant as expected. I am Vietnamese and make this at home as well. Otherwise, it had everything it was supposed to have. The fried rice was a large portion and tasted better than the other two dishes. Overall, it was a good experience. The service was good. We got seated quickly. The ambiance and decor was vibrant. The bathrooms were clean. I will try other dishes later and update this review.

We were sat promptly as there was only one other table at the time there but once we were sat about 5 more tables came in. Our server brought waters to start and I had a Thai tea, which was good, not too sweet- which I like. I order the dumpling as an app, they're pretty small but you get a good amount and the sauce was really good. In order the red curry and my husband ordered the Thai fried rice. Both were really good. I liked his dish a bit more, it was very savory. The red curry had fresh vegetables in it and still had a nice crunch to it, which I like. If we're back in Charlottesville we'll def go back.

They also have the most delicious pad thai and pad see eaw in town (having tried the other local spots many times over and been disappointed). This restaurant and owner deserves all the recognition and appreciation in the world. I really cannot emphasize enough how much I love this place. Would rather wait if they're closed than go anywhere else!

I ordered takeout, and a smooth process had been implemented allowing me to quickly grab it. I liked that their online ordering system had a lot of checkboxes to customize things, but was nonplussed when I pulled out my vegetable soup with the "no cauliflower" option (which they clearly wrote on the container to remind themselves) but which did in fact have a bunch of broccoli and cauliflower that imbued the soup with a sulfurous foulness that I was hoping to avoid. Setting that aside, the rest of my food was quite good. Oddly, their curries are more vegetarian-friendly than some of their stir-fry dishes. I ordered my green curry Thai hot, and they delivered a ferocious dish with no questions asked, and a small sachet of extra dried chili that I didn't need to use for this and so saved for other food. The curry with some aromatic Jasmine rice hit the spot. Some vegetable rolls with very fine noodle threads made for a good snack later. I could certainly see coming back, ordering something different, and getting high quality food.

No Thai food at all....and thus is my review. Food (3 out of 5): We ordered the Chicken Panang Curry and Pad See Ew beef. The panning curry was my favorite of the two entrees. The chicken itself was tender and good, the broth was far too thin to be a good curry, but the flavor itself wasn't too bad. It was unfortunate that it did not look like the photo, it was missing the red peppers and the basil leaves. The Pad See Ew beef....well, I am a huge fan of this dish and get it every possible moment. This one was definitely not my favorite - the sauce itself was a bit too "fishy" for my taste. The noodles were pretty mushy by the time they arrived and they seemed to be the dry rice noodles (not the fresh ones.). The beef itself, which is a $3 upcharge, was good, though.. So, I would order the curry again and perhaps order a non-noodle dish next time.... but I would order again, with my expectations in check. Also, I would ask for chili paste, soy sauce and chopsticks!
