Their pad thai was way too spicy for me. I got Pad Thai with duck and medium spicy. I couldn't finish my meal since it was burning my tounge. Duck felt stiff and chewy, not a very pleasant feeling. I should've got chicken or smh. I will give it another try with no spicy next time but I'm not impressed with the place. read more

I tried the basil chicken for lunch and it was so flavorful that I wish I had ordered a dinner sized portion instead. But beware when ordering chicken wings. They indicate 6 per order but you actually get 3 wings that are cut in half! Sneaky! read more

Best Thai food! Haven't had a bad meal!! The Shumai is delicious. Chicken satay so good. The chicken noodle soup is good but doesn't have a wild amount of flavor (which is not always a bad thing). The CRISPY DUCK BASIL PAD THAI is so good but... so spicy!! Highly highly recommend! read more

I've been eating from this place for years and it is by far the tastiest Thai I've had in Boston. The best crab rangoons and the best pad Thai. However last night I ordered the spring rolls and there was a ROCK inside. It hurt my tooth so badly I have to go to the dentist. It grosses me out to no end to think about how a rock could end up in my food. read more

Really good take out Thai food, but not much of a dine-in place. They have one table and a small window counter, and serve only in their take out containers. Still, we thought the food was very tasty, especially the coconut chicken soup and dumplings I had. read more

We got the crab Rangoon, pad thai, spicy basil rice, tempura. We went to pick this up and the employee gave me a bag full of mint. She was so sweet! Our food was so spicy, like we were in tears after 3 bites. But was amazing would definitely recommend! read more

Truly the best pad Thai in Boston. I always get mine with the crispy duck (HIGHLY recommend.) The crab Rangoon are also amazing! And the scallion pancakes. You really can't go wrong. Siam has become my go to for Thai food, after trying many different places. Not only is it delicious but the price is right! And the serving sizes are great. Looking forward to trying even more things on the menu! read more

I've been looking for a great place near work that has delish food. A coworker recommended Siam to me and I'm so glad she did! They were quick, my food was so hot, tasty, spicy- but not so much it burned my tongue, just all around great! read more

I went to Siam Bistro last August when i was visiting Boston. After a almost 20 hr bus ride, I was wondering on the street looking for sth to wake up my taste bud. I saw Thai, so I went in with no doubt. Boss and waitress are very friendly. Looks like a family business (I have a thing for family business) I ordered Siam Paradise Noodle. I was very surprised to see the rich seafood inside the noodle soup. The broth is very nice too if you appreciate fish sauce. I really like the squid, very tasty and not over cooked. It was a very nice dish, just the scallop tasted a little bit plain. Overall, it is not like like some place that after your first bite will be like OMG. THIS IS AMAZING. But, it will be some place for a quick and happy lunch or dinner. read more

Siam Bistro - Siam Paradise Noodle - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Wow, I just re-read my several-year-old review and I feel bad. At the time, as a broke college grad, maybe that was accurate about pricing. But we come here for takeout fairly often, and it's always good. Their flavors are always spot on, and the sauces always pair well with each dish. Recently I tried the spicy chicken wings and the beef noodle soup, and they were killer. Typical Thai-American staples like pad-see-ew and pad thai are always great (get it with crispy chicken. Trust me). It's not fall down on the ground amazing/authentic, but it's consistently excellent and satisfying. read more

I was looking for something fast and easy but needed to stay close by to meet up with my bff from the "country". She was going to come off I 93 and I knew if she drove in the city she'd get lost and be miserable (understatement on the miserable...more like fuming). Starving as I hadn't had lunch I needed food and debated on if I should go into Biddy's but once in Biddy's I may not come out and I'd be sure to miss her arrival. So I wandered in and found a great little place that made my mouth water. What can I get that is fast and easy - to go? I was directed to get the rice or noodles but I had a horrible vision of me dumping it all over myself as I stood on the side of Pearl with my 10 lb backpack. So I opted for finger food and went with the Siam Spring rolls and fried dumplings. I knew these scrumptious juicy morsels were packed with a zillion Weight Watcher points but this was an emergency! My bff needed me to drive her to the Wang "in time" to catch the showing of Grease and I knew I didn't have time to actually sit and eat. The place is small so it may get crowded and busy during lunch but it was the end of the day so I was the only one there. My backpack was filled with my work stuff and presents for my country mouse so it was great to sit and relax. The guy who took my order was really nice as I scanned the menu, placed my order and dropped the kitchen sink at one of the tables. He knew I was in a hurry and was great about getting me my order fast. I took my bag of goodies and raced down street to wait. Of course I tried to munch and move at the same time and am surprised I didn't burn my tongue when I bit into the rolls. There were 5 of them and about six dumplings, I think. I lost track since I was hurrying to eat as I saw her pull up to the curb. The spring rolls were just the right size and amount. They were crispy with a soft center but not greasy. The pork dumplings were smaller than I would have expected but they were still good. Thank you Siam Bistro for filling my belly while on the go! I'll be back when I can stay for a while. read more

I ate it before I realized that I should have taken a picture of my delicious and fresh Shrimp Pad Thai! A coworker introduced me to this place today, it was a ten minute walk from the office past the usual food trucks to a corner Thai bistro near the Rose Kennedy Walkway. The restaurant is located on the street level of the building, upstairs is a nail salon. You'd hope the the smell of steaming Thai food could over power the smell of nail polish, but it doesn't! But when you walk into this cozy place, the aroma is delightful. I order my shrimp pad Thai and he ordered pineapple fried rice. Then the sticker shock -- it would take 20 minutes for the order! Which is fine but unexpected maybe because the food is fresh and made to order! They delivered our orders to us and we were on our way. Back at the office the pippin hot food was still pippin hot! The aroma was delightful, the noodles had a delicate sweetness that wasn't overpowering. The shrimp, fresh and delicious. It was definitely WORTH IT! I will be back at least once every two weeks - it was a treat. read more

Sometimes when you're drinking at Biddy's you just don't want a burger or a chicken sandwich or fries. No, who am I kidding. That's not true. But in the rare event that Biddy's kitchen is closed already, Siam Bistro to the rescue. I had tofu in garlic sauce and it was plain delightful. I would happily order from here again. read more

The pad thai is good, but the regular isn't spicy. Remember to ask for spicy if you like it spicy. The Gra Pow Noodles are amazing. Remind me of drunken noodles with skinnier noodles and just the right amount of heat. Lots of flavor. My friend has had the duck chili and enjoyed it. I had leftovers; he did not. We always call ahead. You can also order online. The later you wait, say 11:45 or noon, the longer it takes, such as 30-45 minutes. Minimal seating. It gets packed, mainly with people picking up takeout orders. They also deliver through GrubHub. read more

Fast & delicious food. I made an honest mistake of ordering the standard "basil fried rice" but the level of heat was so intense I still have a stomach burn after a few bites. I called them up and asked if they could make it again with less to no heat if I brought back the original dish. They said they would need to charge me again regardless. Buyer Beware - their version of mild is already very intense and any mistake will quite literally be at your expense. read more

Hi. If you're going to get food from here, order on-line first. Srsly. You can do so right from Yelp. I've ordered two or three times and have enjoyed each experience. read more

Siam Bistro - Crispy tofu with fried basil and veggies. Spicy and flavorful. - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Got spring rolls and pad Thai. Their takeout service is like a very efficient machine. Was ready very quickly from ordering on line. Pad thai was very sweet and needed acid and heat. Same for spring roll sauce. read more

Three bites of the food made me sick for a day and a half. Ordered crispy pad thai among other items for myself and two guests. My dish smelled a little off, but I chalked it up to me being a Thai good newb. I took three bites of it and decided it didn't taste good. Turns out I had good reason! Up most of the night and suffering through the next day. Neither of my guests have reported being sick, though one did say he wasn't feeling good after dinner. Maybe somebody needs to check on the sanitary conditions at the restaurant? read more

Everything I have ordered from there is delicious. Not only this, but they have great customer service. I ordered food there via uber eats (which I will not do again) and they actually called me to follow up and make sure my food was delivered. It ended up my driver took the food and ran with it so the restaurant made me a whole new fresh order and made sure it was delivered to me ASAP, even though they were about to close for the night. I will definitely continue ordering from them but only directly from them. The third party delivery companies are awful to deal with and the restaurant loses money from their negligence. read more

DELICIOUS!! FAST!! Wonderful service. Perfect little hidden gem. We got mango curry and spicy chicken basil. We loved it! Definitely recommend the mango and sticky rice. Delicious read more

Had the lunch special and I was pleasantly surprised. I'm really skeptical about Thai food because everyone makes it differently but this was a hit! The flavor was great and I got a side of chili flakes which complemented it quite nicely. Not to mention, the rice was an extremely good value for only $9.99. The location is so convenient and walking distance from my job so I'll definitely be back! read more

Siam Bistro - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My friend and I can upon this restaurant on a whim. On a Thursday night around 6:45pm due to be place we originally wanted to eat dinner was extremely packed we walked a block down and found Siam. Food - we had the crab Rangoon for an appetizer, they were pretty good, the sauce that it came with was different and delicious. For our main courses I had the yellow curry wth shrimp and my friend had the mango curry. For dinner entrees you must order rice if you want it apart if your meal. Only lunch options do the entrees come with rice. Location: great location in the downtown area at a corner. Can't miss it. Atmosphere: Small space, not for large crowd or groups of people. Not fancy and if you decide to eat your food their it will be on a paper plate with plastic utensils. Service: 3/5. I guess we are here in a busy take out day because as we tried to place our food order, she kept cutting us off to answer the phones and take those orders as we waiting in front of her. Let's just say it took 10 minutes to order out food while we were physically there without a line. Not really inviting or friendly. 4 stars for the fast service once food was ordered and food meal. Removed a star due to the bad customer service but would return probably for a take out order. read more

I'm hoping that were was a major earth shattering event that screwed them up so badly that people were waiting for like 30-45 minutes for lunch. Sure, ask yourself why would anyone wait that long but once you've ordered, paid, and have been waiting you are going through with the crazy commitment of just getting food on your lunch break. So when I went a few weeks back I had some crazy wait. Not as bad as 45 minutes but some woman there waited that long ans she was more than happy to let everyone else know about it. I think that waiting over 20 minutes for some pad thai is just too long. While their pad thai was good for financial district thai I think I will just head in the opposite direction for thai in Chinatown. I ordered their shrimp pad thai thinking that is classic (like ordering spaghetti and meatballs at an Italian place) thing to prepare. Everyone knows it and can compare it to other places so it is your goal to serve it well, no? Well it was done decently with a few shrimp and plenty of peanuts on top. Hopefully they will sort out their problems with staffing/cooking at lunch to run things smoothly and to avoid long waits. I hear they are open for dinner so maybe I can give them another try if I work late. read more

Siam Bistro - Vermicelli pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

"I'm sorry but we do not have tap water, only bottles of water for purchase." --Siam Bistro Staff. Ok, really nbd though, I'll buy a darn bottle of water, I'm not THAT cheap. So the service was pretty much what you'd expect, but the food was exactly what a 3 star rating embodies: "A-OK." Try the duck soup, but trust me, you don't need to get double noodles, I'm serious, I don't care if you haven't eaten in a week, don't do it. Overall, it's a solid dish, and super tasty with just the right kick of spice. Don't bother with the calamari. Obviously from a frozen bag, fried, no flavor, served on a paper plate. Not worth it. So basically, it's open on the weekend in the otherwise desolate Financial District, and the food is decent, so there it is. read more

I've only tried the pad Thai and vegetable rolls so far, but both are amazing. The Pad Thai here is definitely one of the best in Boston. Great service, great prices, all around a great spot. Highly recommend! read more

Found this little gem on my way home from work and was pleasantly surprised. The duck on the phad thai was fried to perfection and the cashew sauce on the vegetables was lightly sweet but extremely tasty. The portion sizes were also very generous--I'll definitely have enough for leftovers tomorrow! Overall, would recommend. The decor inside is a little to be desired since it's quite plain but not a big deal. read more

Another great meal delivered from Siam Bistro. You can order delivery direct from their web site to avoid the third-party delivery companies. It is so much better for the restaurant as they recover from the COVID downturn. The fresh rolls are delish with choice of pork or shrimp. Every curry dish I have had is wonderful. Many dishes don't come with rice, so check that carefully when on-line ordering. You need to choose protein, spice level, and keep scrolling down for rice options. All in all, this is a great Thai restaurant. Highly recommended. Great packaging, order was very hot. Delivery was perfectly on time. read more

Great location for Thai food within the financial district especially towards the night when most places close for the evening. I would definitely call ahead so that you can pick up the food and go. Favorites of mines include the pad-c-u which is a wide rice noodle dish cooked in a sweet soy sauce, similar to the chow fun at Cantonese places. Another is the Tom Yum fried rice which is a tasty fried rice infused with flavors of the famous Thai soup, Tom Yum soup. Their dumpling/tofu soups are great as well and my coworkers love their crab rangoons. This is a place in heavy rotation for my team as we stay late for work and everyone loves the food! read more

Went to this place on lunch. ordered the mango curry no rice extra broccoli. Needless to say I got extra meat and 3 pieces of broccoli. 30 min lunch, no compensation, and still no broccoli. I guess there was an extra charge for the broccoli that was not meantioned. Going back for a refund. Let's see how that goes read more

This place is fantastic. Had to do my part to share this. If you want your lunch packed with flavor, and including healthy ingredients from all the food groups, in my opinion you can't do better in the whole Financial District/Waterfront area than this little spot on the corner of Pearl St. and Purchase St. Not only is the food delicious, but the staff are very nice and accommodating. Today I felt like having salmon with some vegetables in a tasty sauce. I ordered the Mix and Match "ginger" option and asked if I could add garlic. I received a perfectly cooked, juicy piece of salmon in a delicious sauce that included onions, mushrooms, peppers, yellow squash, and celery, with brown rice to soak it all in. Sorry, there are plenty of solid lunch options in the area, but you can't beat this lunch anywhere. read more

This is not a fancy place but casual place to hang out and reasonably priced. The spicy Pad thai is very spicy!! but tasted good with tofu. The thai ice tea is a big no- they added a lot of heavy cream/full cream in it. They give the meal in to-go containers either take it or leave it types. read more

Been in Boston for two plus years now and still struggling to find five star Thai. Siam does some things well, but when I think about everything I enjoy - they fall flat. We have tried a number of things from here on a number of occasions. It's decent and fulfills a basic craving for Thai food, but it just isn't great across the board. I have found that I have to stick to the same things - and there is often quite inconsistent portion sizes every time I order. The pad see ew (I know I butchered that spelling) is the one solid dish I can rely on as far as flavors. They also get brownie points for having scallion pancakes which are pretty darn delish and come with an amazing sauce. When I had my Thai craving, this has become the go to, but I know there has to be something better out there in the city. read more

Best thai food ever, everything is good. Must try the side walk, and the fried banana. Hats off to the chef. read more

This was SO GOOOOOD! Basil fried rice with seafood. Ordered through Yelp for takeout, it's only 2 blocks from my office. Special instructions for NO green peppers, NOT spicy. Was perfect! Juicy plump seafood. Ready as I walked in. Piping hot at my desk. Cant wait to try more lunch dishes! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. Their fulfillment is wicked fast ~10-15 minutes (they should teach ops courses at HBS). The food is always very tasty -- shoutout to their Gra Prow. I have never once been disappointed and I've had probably two dozen meals here. Ten out of five stars. read more

I went there for lunch last week around 12:30pm and the place was full of people waiting for their takeout. I ordered the chicken satay and mango curry. The chicken satay was average but I liked the peanut sauce that came with it. The mango curry was good although the mangoes were not that ripe. read more

I started going here almost daily in 2012. I was pregnant and baby was loving my choices lol. I looooved this place. Turned my whole office onto them. They were always friendly and clean. Food was on point - fried shumai and crispy wings OMG! I've had them a few times after my office left the area and they were still just as good. I look forward to a visit there soon. read more

I have only ordered take out from this place. For a Thai place in Boston, it is decent. I think the food is a bit salty but otherwise the spiciness is fantastic. The serving sizes seem to be on par with their pricing. Would I choose this restaurant if there was more variety in Boston? No. But it will do for now read more

Pre Covid this was a safe reliable cheap restaurant downtown. Unfortunately now not so great. We got a crispy pad Thai, crab Rangoon and scallion pancakes. I have had bad but edible Thai before but this was disgusting and inedible. Tried to return it but the only option was to get something else instead. If they screwed up 3 out of 3 things I figured the only thing I would get out of ordering something else was a loss of 10 minutes waiting for more garbage. I have never experienced anything so bad, especially from a place that used to be quite good. What happened? It really was that awful. read more

Both my husband and daughter work downtown and recommended Siam Bistro and no matter how far away I am I always think of them as a great choice to get some lunch or just go and grab a bite to eat. My fave are the garlic wings, crab ragoon & the pineapple sauce! read more
