Best take out Thai I've had in Chicago! We had the lunch meal for thai basil chicken and Thai red curry. Genuinely really really good!! such good value too. It was $10 per lunch entree, made so flavorful and spicy. It included rice, the meal, spring rolls/crab rangoons, salad, and soup! So good! I would definitely order from here again read more

We get delivery from here about twice a month. They always tell you 45 minutes and show up in 15 minutes. The food is always hot and delicious. My fave is the red curry chicken. We haven't been in to the restaurant since it changed over to S-Paragon. But speaking for the delivery it's great! read more

I've tried various items from the appetizers, Japanese, Thai, and Chinese parts of Siam Paragron's menu, and I've found the dishes to be good, but not great. The Chinese dishes tend to be quite sweet for a Chinese palate, but perhaps is more amenable for an American palate. The portion sizes are reasonable. The service is good, but can be slow at times. The interior is nicely decorated. There's metered street parking, but you might have to drive around the block to find an open spot. read more

Yummy! This was the first time I went to Siam Paragon. I am usually scared about all you can eat sushi because they tend to be huge rolls with too much rice and then you can only try a couple of rolls b/c you're already full. This place is different. The rolls are the right size so you can try more than just 2 rolls. The sushi is fresh and they make them quickly. Very tasty! Thumbs up! I'll be back to try the Thai food on the menu. read more

Excellent Sushi Went there in Dec of 2009 and really enjoyed the food. I opted for the all you can eat which was 20.00, my wife had a couple of sushi rolls and they ordered a chinese noodle dish, which she really liked. If you get the all you can eat, there are some rules (which the server will routinely recite for you) 1) no sharing--This means if you have the AYCE and your dining partner does not then you can not share your food with them although conversely they may share their food with you. 2) You must eat everything you order. They will add a surcharge if you order something from the ACYE and do no finish it. The waitress said that they do this to discourage waste, thus keeping the prices down. 3) No Leftovers. This kind of goes along with #2 because you have to eat everthing you order so of course there will be no leftovers. Dont even try to ask for a doggy bag. We even thought about testing the legitimacy of masters rules but we were good little obedient subjects,no food crossed over the midline of the table from one plate to the next, when we danced we maintained 12" between bodies at all times,---- jk we didnt dance. I had a crab rangoon --really good, then a dragon roll which was great, then a california roll and a few peices of the sweet potato sushi(forget the proper name) then I had an order of Unagi, followed by a couple more pieces of Unagi and then a couple more. Mind you, all this was included in the All You can eat. I figured I consumed 30+ pieces of sushi in total. So I definetly got my money;s worth. I made an important discovery while slurping the seaweed soup --"I DONT LIKE SEAWEED" opt for the wonton or egg drop or whatever other soups they have instead (unless you know without a doubt that you are indeed a fan of seaweed), although the sewead is the only one offered as part of the AYCE. The service was good, our waitress explained which dishes were raw and which were cooked and she was prompt with tea and water refills. All in all the food is really good ,and plentiful, and we will definitely go back again. . read more

Not sure how I feel about this place. First off, I don't understand what the deal is with restaurants that serve a combination of cuisines: i.e. thai + sushi, italian + sushi, steak + sushi. I mean, thai + sushi? The two countries are not even next to each other! In short, I'm iffy about this place. I went here for lunch and ordered the chicken teriyaki special. It came with salad, miso soup and a choice of salmon/tuna maki. I didn't like the teriyaki because it's just cut up meat with some teriyaki sauce. I'm used to teriyaki that's grilled chicken doused with sweet + salty teriyaki sauce - not it. The salad was also wimpy and the dressing was like water. The tuna maki wasn't anything to brag about - I could barely taste the fish. On the other hand, their red curry was decent. I'd go here again since it's so close to me, but I've learned my lesson and will only order Thai food from now on. My friend also said that their phad thai was acceptable. read more

I absolutely love Siam Paragon. The food is delicious and the service is so friendly. You will see lots of neighborhood regulars here! My favorite appetizers ever: scallop dynamite and avocado salad. MUST TRY. The scallop dynamite is like heaven in your mouth. For sushi I love the dynamite roll, spicy yellow tail, and my staple philadelphia roll. Everything is amazing, though. read more

If you like sushi, this is the place to go on Sunday and Monday nights. For 19.99 per person, you can have all-you-can-eat sushi plus apetizers such as crab ragoon, miso soup, edemame, egg rolls, ect. While not all of the sushi the restaurant offers if offered for all you can eat, the menu still includes a dozen+ sushi rolls such as the dragon, rainbow, etc as well as sushimi. The fish is always very high quality and the rolls have very nice presentation. The thai iced tea is my favorite drink. While the drink menu is quite limited, they actually carry a very nice cold sake that they only charge $8 per bottle for that I have found at asian grocery stores for twice the price. The service is excellent. I am always shocked at the fact that these cute little girls do such an amazing job of running the entire restaurant. I've never had the entrees at Siam Paragon because I am a complete sushi addict and eat there every week when it is all-you-can-eat but I've heard that the entree's are good and reasonably priced. The sushi is a bit on the pricy side, which is why I would highly recommend the all-you-can-eat on Sunday and Monday nights. There's usually plenty of street parking (meters right in front as well as free street parking on the streets nearby). All in all, I would definately recommend this place to anyone who enjoys asian cuisine. read more

I really dislike leaving negative reviews but I'm so sick of the inconsistency of Siam Paragon. For years we've been getting take out from this place around three or four times a month. The food used to be really good but in the last five or six months the taste and the portion sizes have been inconsistent. Tonight I got chicken with mixed vegetables and it was inedible. There was no sauce, just some watery juice that tasted of oil. The rest of the order seemed to be okay but this is the straw that broke the camel's back. I haven't had a hot, delicious meal from here in ages. Time to find a new spot. I'm not gambling on Siam Paragon again. It's a bummer because it used to be one of my favorite spots. read more

I have been going to this little joint about twice a month for the past five years. I have NEVER been dissapointed, not with the food and not with the service. I love the Sunday & Monday AYCE for $23..great value, the rest of the days is BOGO and all items on the menu are reasonably priced. The portions are very generous and everything is always fresh. some of my favorites, tom kha gai (absolutely delicious) Hawaiian fried rice, salmon lovers platter! great beers and love their cosmo its always on point. The staff is always friendly and professional. Also the restaurant was recently remodeled and looks really nice, cool atmosphere. read more

I had such a pleasant time at Siam Paragon that I ran back to my office to Yelp about it, and that was only because I couldn't figure out how to on the Yelp app that I downloaded on my cellphone. I had Chicken Pad Thai - pretty standard - lunch special. For $7 you get an entree, miso soup, salad and choice of appetizer - I had edamame but they also have spring rolls crab rangoon and something else. Let me comment on the miso soup because out of all the miso soups I've ever had, Siam Paragon's had the MOST amount of tofu and seaweed. I was very happy since I love both. You can't really get the broth wrong but that too was tasty. Salad, edamame and pad thai we're all very good but not eye-popping amazing. But for $7.70 TOTAL for 4 different foods they certainly get an extra star for the value. Yesterday I ordered delivery for pad thai from some other more reputable place a mile away and it cost me $11 ($7 pad thai only+$2 delivery charge+ $2 tip). p.s. They also have sushi lunch specials starting from $7-13 with an increasing amount of sushi the more you spend. That special also comes with miso soup and salad I believe. read more

Up until about a week ago, I had been a loyal customer of Siam Paragon. I was pleased with their menu of vegetarian sushi! HOWEVER... I had came mid-day for their BOGO sushi deal with a few coworkers.We all were very hungry and ready to enjoy our lunch, ordering even a generous amount for leftovers. Now, as I had mentioned, I was a loyal customer-- I likely have been once a week for the last few months. And NEVER had this issue come up. The waitress would not split our checks! And then when we offered to place separate orders, even from separate tables, she refused. When she asked what we wanted to do, I asked her to go check with the manager, as this had never been an issue for us before. A coworker of mine had been there the day prior and had her check split no issue at all. When she returned, she said there was nothing more she could do, however, we were not given a valid reason as to why they couldn't help us find a solution. As our only option that day was paying with a card. Needless to say, they lost our business not just that day, but for a long time. read more

I came here last night for dinner and was underwhelmed. I got seated quickly, but after that I did not really get that great of service. The place was fairly empty for a Thursday night dinner crowd and it didn't have any flare or anything to make it stand out as a restaurant. For food i ordered the Appetizer sampler option B. The chicken portion of this was terrible. The meat did not even look like it was chicken! It was dark and just did not look appetizing, everything else on that platter was fine. I also got 2 sushi rolls: the flirty gal and the dancing shrimp. They were lacking in some aspects and inconsistent in the amount of fillings that each piece of sushi contained. Altogether I paid about 40 bucks! Needless to say I will not be back. read more

I hate to sound like the typical disgruntled angry yelper, but I just tonight had my first, and certainly only, dining experience at SIAM Paragon. To be fair, it was a Monday night, and we went for the often-mentioned all-you-can-eat sushi for $19.99. While I do not consider myself to be an expert on what good sushi is, my experience tonight was altogether disappointing. Between me and my girlfriend, we sampled nearly every type of nigiri that was available, and I tried many staple maki rolls in fusion sushi cuisine (volcano, spider, double tuna). Unfortunately, they were all of mediocre quality, and terrible taste. The presentation was extremely attractive, and the ambiance of the restaurant is relaxing yet refined. Sadly, the quality of the sushi does not match the rest of the establishment. The primary complaint I have is that the sushi rice was completely wrong. As previously mentioned, I do not have the experience to know what precisely traditional sushi should taste like, but I do know that there was nothing that was correct about the sushi rice tonight. The rice was undercooked, the flavor was wrong (I suspect the wrong kind rice wine vinegar), and the rice itself was the wrong shape (I almost thought it was just your average long-grain white rice). Since there is rice in both the rolls and the nigiri, this no doubt was the major culprit to an altogether disappointing experience. Furthermore, the various fish we tried were certainly not fresh. We tried everything from the salmon to the red snapper, from yellowtail to tuna, and it all was simply bland and almost mushy. The crowning jewel to this was without a doubt, the edamame we ordered to finish off the meal. Edamame is almost impossible to screw up. You can buy a package of frozen edamame, cook it for even half an hour without ruining it. Our order managed to be so undercooked that some of the beans had a crunchy texture to them, instead of the usual soybean texture. This was something that I would have sent back to the kitchen, but I was simply ready to be done with the meal. I give the establishment two stars, since the decor and the ambiance was impressive, and the alcohol list was reasonably-priced and good (a lychee martini my girlfriend got was good, despite it's strange pink color). The presentation of the rolls was attractive, mundane taste notwithstanding, and if it were not for the utter lack of care for the ingredients that the sushi was made with, I would certainly have given this four or five stars. Unfortunately, there is only so much that good presentation and ambiance can lend to a restaurant. Ultimately, it must be about the food. read more

Ordered some sushi and Thai food yesterday and everything was delicious! Maybe our new go to Thai spot. We ordered pot stickers, green curry, basil friend rice, and Sakura roll. Everything was fresh and ready on time! Will be back again read more

Traveled to visit from Chicago. This is still by far the best Thai food I have had. This visit, I learned that not only do they serve delicious noodle and creamy curry dishes, but they serve curry noodles! Ordered the panang curry noodles and couldn't have been happier. This is quite literally panang curry with wide noodles in place of rice (not noodles with curry sauce). I live in Champaign, but will definitely be returning again. read more

Disgusting!!! Flavorless sushi. I ordered a waitress recommended roll (no clue) & it was COVERED in mayo. Not a few drizzles but about a half cup slopped over the sushi. I couldn't even discern the rolls under it!! It's been about 10 hours and I'm still getting sick to my stomach thinking about the taste (yes, I ate 2 pieces - after scraping the mayo off). The Thai iced tea was bitter and nasty. My hubby tried their pad kee mao - his usual & favorite Thai dish. He was unimpressed and said it ranked worst of all he's tried. Don't try it!!! Never going back!! read more

Came here because of the yelp rating and my friend and I are glad we did. I wouldn't say service was the best but the food was good. The pad Thai was good and the sumo roll was absolutely delicious! I would come back just because of that roll! Great location cute little boutiques to browse at! read more

Paragon - Delicious sumo roll and pad Thai w/ tofu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Love this place. 4 stars *only* because I've never actually eaten at the restaurant. I'm a delivery fiend. :) The pad see eiw with beef is delicious, the chicken fried rice is delish (though heavy on the onions), and the crab rangoon is definitely one of the best I've had. The food tastes fresh, the meat is always well trimmed (gristle is the worst), and the delivery is fast. Their food is also consistently good, the portions are large, and the leftovers still taste good the next day. Definitely a solidly good place to get really good food. read more

I only got to try the pad thai here, but it was pretty solid and at a good price. You get quite a bit too so it'll fill you up. Not much else I can really say besides them having a great pad thai. The rest of the menu was a bit all over the place so I decided to stick with something safe. There's a variety of sushi too which I found a bit unusual. read more

Delicious sushi! BOGO specials Thursday-Sunday. Huge BOGo menu with lots of great options. Sex on Mars is my favorite roll part of the BOGO. Deep friend Japanese bagel is a bit like a philly roll, but has sesame seeds and a more unique flavor. read more

The sushi has come a long way! I ate there a few years ago and was underwhelmed, but just had a maki combo there last night for dinner, which is 3 rolls of your choice + miso soup + seaweed salad for about $14. Great deal and the sushi was such a surprise: delicious, fresh, and generous. I will come here again! read more

Very good food. I dined with three others, and everything we ordered was delicious. In particular, the red curry and basil curry were wonderful. I'll definitely be back. read more

I haven't tried all the sushi restaurants in Evanston, but I definitely found a keeper in Siam Paragon. I recently tried their Poison Maki and thought that was really good. Of course the Dragon Maki and Philly Maki are good too. If you are trying to look up their rolls on their website, select "Japanese" at the top and then "Makimono" near the right side in the middle. (It's not an obvious link in my opinion.) There is a good list of rolls. Their fish is delicious and fresh - and that's the most important thing in my book! read more

Cheap, but not great. Came on Saturday and had their daily lunch special. It's nice to see a restaurant with lunch specials on Saturday, and it was only $8. The food was edible. Not horrifying bad, but definitely not great. Both the Pad See Ewe and the Thai Iced Tea I got was too sweet. I won't return, but if you want a quick cheap lunch or really like sweet dishes, Siam Paragon could be a good option. For better Thai food try Thai Sookdee or Cozy Noodles. read more

I love their delicious sushi/rolls and BOGO deal! My husband and I go there every 2 weeks or so. We always order Mamma Mia and Fire and Ice (no jalapeno for us though) and it's always good and fresh. We've had many bad experiences with their customer service, this one particular waitress seems to always be in a bad mood and just not very friendly or considerate. But overall it's a great neighborhood restaurant. I would definitely recommend you try it out. read more

I went here with two of my girl friends yesterday and really liked it, never been there before. I really liked the size of the restaurant it's very quaint but not too small and the interior design is nice. Good place to sit down and enjoy your food but also has a nice atmosphere versus a typical bustling buffet restaurant. Their sushi was amazing, ordered several rolls and split them among our table. Ordered their soup and sea weed salad too, so delicious! I also ordered a drink, Bloody Mary :) And not only did it taste soo good but the preparation was amazing...the tip of the straw was made into a rose added a nice touch I was not expecting. They have a nice bar set up right when you walk in... Now I have to come back on a Sunday/Monday night, they advertised a buffet special for only $19.99! Highly recommend going on a date here or dinner with a good group of friends. Thanks again! read more

This is my go-to Asian food restaurant in Evanston. They have one of the best carry-out and delivery services in this town. They are conveniently located near the Main Street Metra and "L" stations, so picking up dinner on my way home from work is very easy. I can just call ahead and have my dinner waiting for me. Additionally, the delivery service is VERY quick. They always say it will be at least 45 minutes, but my food always is at my door within 20 minutes. I typically order spring rolls and one Thai dish to share or save for leftovers. Everything is very fresh and well-prepared. Also the food doesn't feel as greasy as most Asian restaurants, which is a huge plus. read more

We came here on a Saturday and it was very good. The wait staff was sooo attentive and very helpful when choosing what to get. We had chicken pot stickers for appetizers and then one of us had the Crispy Beef and the other had sushi. They have a great mix of Thai, Chinese and Japanese, so there are a lot of choices. Also have an outdoor eating area, which is nice. In addition, they were SO sweet when we left. It was pouring rain and they insisted that we take their umbrellas out to our car and get our umbrella, so we did not get drenched. We will be back for sure. read more

Amazing, fresh sushi and a great selection of everything else. The prices are reasonable and they have sushi specials that run Tues-Sat. The only thing I didn't like is the slow service. The restaurant wasn't busy at all but I still feel like we waited for the waiter to come around for a long time. Overall, it's a great place to socialize. Will come back. read more

We have been ordering regularly here for almost 4 years. We love both their sushi and Thai dishes. The portions have been perfect in the past. However, recently in our past three orders we noticed a significant decrease in the amount served in the Pad Kee Mao. The service is always friendly. read more

Came here with my mom and dad for dinner, and it was delicious! The seaweed salad was tasty and fresh. My mom got the Tuna Lover-it was awesome! Our waitress recommended the red curry, which was was sooo good. I will definitely come back here again! read more

I live right across the street and take out from here all the time. I love getting their takeout cuz its SO fast. Sometimes they take less than 10 Mins. They are really flexible with their dishes - I often order the vegetables with garlic sauce and substitute half the veggies with ones I like. I mostly order their garlic sauce with chicken or ginger sauce or spicy basil. read more

Food was terrible server and our server was even worse! The Vietnamese spring rolls totally fell apart upon picking them up, they had no taste at all, and no basil inside as they're supposed to have (and what the menu stated). The sesame noodles were strange tasting and the worst sesame noodles I ever had. The garlic vegetable entree was extremely bland with not even the slightest hint of garlic or any taste at all and seemed like they just threw together frozen veggies. It was also missing the mushrooms and other things the menu said it was supposed to have. When the server asked if everything was ok and I mentioned there were no mushrooms as promised, he just turned around and walked away without saying anything. He ignored us for rest of the meal until the check came and I very nicely said we were disappointed and that several dishes were missing the ingredients. But even then he didn't even offer the slightest apology or seemed to care at all. We paid the $60 bill for one of the lousiest meals I ever had. Though somehow now I remember trying this place years ago and never felt like it was calling me back to eat there again. However the other night, it was the only restaurant outdoors on Saturday evening with open tables. Now I know why that was. Way better Asain restaurants all around Evanston. Try taking out from Siam Splendor. Food is great there but no outdoor tables. read more

First time there for takeout looked forward to Chicken Teriyaki. Very disappointed to be served frozen meal style lunch tasted just like Lean Cuisine which is not a compliment. Wont be returning here! read more

My husband and I stumbled across this place by accident one sunny day and we have never been happier with an accident. Their fried edamame sticks are delicious, their satay isn't run of the mill like so many are, their curry dishes are second to none, the vegetables have always been fresh and light and things aren't sopping with gravy like so many places. I have always felt like I could eat my whole plate and not feel fat, I would feel full just not fat. I highly recommend this place and will be back soon. read more

I just don't understand all the good reviews... Maybe I just got it on a bad night... but everything we got was pretty lackluster. Delivery took 15 minutes longer than was estimated, crab rangoon was cold (and was 90% rangoon, 10% crab), the shrimp tempura roll was alarmingly small (I uploaded a photo), certainly not worth $7. We also got beef pad thai and seaweed salad. Both were good portions and edible, but very VERY bland. The beef was very chewy... very odd texture... read more

Love the buy-one-get-one sushi roll menu! It includes traditional rolls but features so many inventive and delicious rolls as the Rolling Stones, the Rat Pack, the Marilyn Monroe, and many more. Great quality fish and friendly service! read more

See all

Good food at good prices with very friendly staff. We like to get their BOGO sushi and it's always good. Their egg rolls are really delicious and have a spicy sauce that is unlike anything I've ever had before with an egg roll. Great place! read more

I love this place! It's right around the corner from my apartment and if I didn't have more self control I would probably eat there every day. The decor and ambience are fantastic and you can always count on really great music playing. My menu favorites include: Soft and crispy noodle. Wide noodles in a yellow curry sauce with a genorous heaping of little crispy noodles and cilantro on top. Served with a lime slice that adds a delicious burst of flavor. Yellow curry: The red and green curry are also delicious, but the yellow curry is my favorite. Its mellow and flavorful with green peas and chunks of sweet potato. Green curry: Much more complex than the yellow with lots of ingredients including thai eggplant, sweet potato, bamboo shoots and onions.Tends to be pretty spicy. Pad Thai. A fresh lime flavor with plenty of crushed peanuts. Never too oily. A great thai restaurant staple. Mongolian beef. Great orange flavors, well cooked meat. Delicious. Dragon Roll: Both the red and white are very good The white is a little more mellow and creamy because it has avacado and cream cheese. Any of their desserts! The lava cake is to die for. Be prepared to wait though. The mochi ice cream is also wonderful and they often make very cute decorations with chocolate and cherry syrup on the plate. I definitely recommend this place over any other thai restaraunt in Evanston. read more
