100/10, Beautifully decorated, authentic Thai and Lao flavors with more mainstream dishes for those just trying out Thai food, or classic OG dishes for the Thai/lao food lovers. Service here is kind and welcoming. Nam Khao, Lao style papaya salad, spring rolls and their fried chicken with sticky rice hit the spot today. It is BYOB, grab a few drinks next door from the market and cheers away.

A friend dragged me out to the restaurant on a windy wet night. It took a while to get out to Waipahu because the Waipahu exit was blocked so I took the Kunia exit. The restaurant is actually close to the Kunia exit, at the far end of Waipahu. My friend went a few nights earlier with her friend Phillip who is the brother of the restaurant's owner. The restaurant is highly decorated, more so than most other Thai restaurants on Oahu. I ordered green curry with chicken, pad kee mao with pork, Thai fish cakes, and pad gra pow with pork. Each dish was $16.85. We also ordered jasmine rice ($3.00) and 2 Thai iced green tea drinks($5.85 each). We ordered the food mild because my friend said she had trouble eating the food previously when they ordered it medium. All the food tasted great and the quantity of food per dish was larger than usual. Will return to taste other dishes.

Siam City Thai Kitchen Checked out Siam City Thai Kitchen and it did not disappoint! We ordered the soft-shell crab curry, twice-fried chicken, and seafood pad Thai, and everything was absolutely delicious. Was happily surprised to know the lady serving us was the same lady that sells fried chicken at Wat Thai on Sundays. If you're on the west side and craving Thai food, and want a pretty place to eat, definitely give this place a try. You'll be happy you did!

Yellow Curry w/ Chicken

I'm always on the hunt for new food spots. Even though there are plenty of Thai restaurants in my area, we decided to venture out to Waipahu after noticing that Siam City Thai Kitchen offers several dishes I haven't seen at the Thai places I usually visit. They had an array of dishes that peaked our interests, but we ultimately decided on the crispy rice salad (kao yum nam), grilled steak salad (nam tok), crunchy ong choy (yum pak boong thod krob), and lastly a classic yellow curry with chicken. Everything was so flavorful! My favorite has to be the kao yum nam! It was truly a flavor bomb or salty, sour, spicy and fresh from the herbs. The crispy ong choy portion was HUGE! If you're not with a large group or aren't ready to tackle a lot of fried food, it might be best to save this one for when you have more people to share. That said, it was absolutely delicious. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly, and the yellow curry was rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The service was great. Our waitress checked in on us and made sure our water was filled. She made great conversation and was curious on our opinion on the dishes. The restaurant has a good amount of seating and appeared to be clean. I'll definitely be back!

We were in the Waipahu area looking for a place for lunch. Checked out the recommendations from our fellow Yelper's. They were right Siam City Thai Kitchen is awesome. Walking into their dining is like being transported to Thailand . Our server was very friendly and patient. She gave us some great recommendations. We tried their Famous Double Fried Chicken, the Crispy Pork, and the Stewed Pork with Rice. Everything was delicious . The sauces that accompanied each dish were awesome and enhanced the flavors of each dish. We definitely have to visit them again to sample more of their menu. Highly recommended

Pad Thai

Craving some Thai food and called in a pick up order at Siam City Thai Kitchen. Hubby said the decor was authentically Thai. This was encouraging since we rarely take out Thai food because his Thai mama often cooks for us when she's in town. We ordered the fried chicken per other Yelp reviewers, as well as the panang curry and pad Thai, both with chicken. Reviewers mentioned the spice level is not to be taken lightly here, so we ordered a 0 level to make sure our son could eat it too. Fried chicken was crisp and tasty, not greasy. Panang curry was full of flavor despite not having the usual spiciness. And the pad Thai was my picky toddler's favorite. Definitely will be one of our go-to Thai restaurants when we can't get home cooked Thai food!

The Menu

Siam City Thai Kitchen came through today. Fried Chicken stay crispy and juicy, Spring Rolls had taro inside (love that), and even the rice tasted different. Solid first visit. Curry next -- and yeah, I'll be back. Marie

Summer roll. Served with hoisin so I asked for peanut sauce which was served warm and tasty.

This is a review for Siam City Thai Kitchen in Waipahu a few doors from where the old Highway Inn was located. Parking was plentiful during the lunch hour on a weekday. This was a pleasant surprise. The food was delicious. The Pad Thai was the best I've had in a long time. The Tom Yum soup was not as good as other places but still ok. I just won't order it again. The summer roll was good. I will return to try other things in the menu. It was a good first experience.

$18 Crunchy Ong Choy Salad - is a tempura salad (potato leaves?) with a yummy sauce... memorable.  Must try.
Teri C.

Dinner with friends on a Saturday night... thought we'd introduce them to something different - Thai cuisine, unfamiliar entrees. They take reservations and it's BYOB. Lots of parking and place wasn't packed. Nicely decorated and welcoming staff. Ordered Crispy Rice Salad, Grilled Steak Salad, Crunchy Ong Choy Salad and Double Fried Chicken... fed 4 perfectly. These were all unique salads but included some protein so they were each fresh & tasty. We enjoyed everything despite not ordering the usual Thai dishes... different was good and delicious. We really enjoyed this new Thai cuisine experience, and will definitely return.

Always in search of the most Amazing Fried Chicken in Hawaii and boy have I found a hidden gem right here in Waipahu. The Double Fried Chicken here at Siam City Thai Kitchen has an incredible deal of their Fried Chicken. You get 4 pieces of the most Amazing Fried Chicken you'll ever sink your teeth into. The Batter had the most amazing crunch and it's so reminiscent of eating Fried Chicken from the Manapua Man but served piping hot and not soggy at all. And for the $8.99 price tag you get one heck of a deal. It comes with a Sweet Chili Sauce on the side. I still can't get over how Thai Restaurants nail the Fried Chicken game. Im definitely coming back here for this mose amazing Fried Chicken. Just a reminder this place get very busy so please be patient. The aunty in the front is a sweetheart. The Fried Chicken does have bones and love how they cut the Fried Chicken up and then Deep Fry it. All I need is some rice and Mac Salad and I'm good Can't beat a great deal people and here at Siam City Thai Kitchen much mahalo for great great value!!! -- at Siam City Thai Kitchen.

It is always pretty quiet when we walk in and not much people which I kind of like. The customer service is really good I love one of them especially because she will give me food advice, like real food advice, she is honest!! Quality of food is great. I feel like the food is fresh, and the curry spices are made to your order. You get to personalize the heat, the spice of your food. I've been there three times now so I can give them a full review and three times I had great service and great food. I love that it is consistent!!

Inside the restaurant
Monica Y.

Ended up here by accident and so glad we did! We tried ordering from a couple other places but they were either closing for the night or wait times were too long. And we were at Walmart Kunia so this was close by which worked out great! The inside of the restaurant is so nicely decorated with pretty decor and even the entrance to the bathroom is fancy. And the restaurant is so clean. It's a small place with about 6-10 tables. The worker was so nice and friendly. We asked him if they are the ones that sell the food at the temple in Pearl City (Wat Thai) across of Sam's Club and he said yes. I went there years ago and their food was so good. Anyways, we ordered the pad Thai with beef, spicy mixed vegetables with shrimp, and the fried chicken. The pad Thai was good, but just a little oilier than usual. The mixed vegetables was really good. I loved the spice level on it and the flavor was very good. And the fried chicken was nice and crispy and juicy on the inside. The 3 plates were perfect for 3 people and we even had a little left over. I'm definitely so glad we ended up here. If you haven't already tried it, I suggest you make a visit real soon. As always, it's better to eat there especially if you get the fried chicken. But still super good even if you take out.

A pile of rubbery, fatty, lukewarm, & flavorless meat.

We came here because it was recommended by an IG food reviewer, needless to say I won't be trying anymore of their recs. We ordered the following: Chicken Satay, Tom Kha Soup w/chicken, Crispy Rice Salad, Grilled Steak Salad, Crispy Ong Salad w/ Curry dipping sauce, Double Fried Chicken, & sticky rice. Positives: my son liked the chicken satay, they aren't served on skewers, but he said the flavor was good. Negatives: steak was lukewarm, rare, chewy, fatty, & flavorless; I asked them to cook it to at least medium and it came back tasting worse, my stomach hurt after eating this. The Tom Kha Soup was bland. The "curry" side for the Crispy Ong Salad was sweet & cold. The Crispy Rice Salad was decently flavored, but had huge chunks of what tasted like cheap ham. My family loves Thai food and we enjoy trying the different styles from various regions of Thailand. This was not a different style, it was simply poorly cooked & just not edible. We couldn't finish any of the plates. Service was basic, the server wasn't rude, but was not welcoming either. It's located in an aging strip mall, a bit of a sketchy area. The worse part for me was the price; it's pricey considering the quality and amount of food you get.

They overspiced my order of sea-food Pad Thai. Last time going there. The place is decorated intricately though sort of like a museum.

I've been going here for years and it's still one of the best Thai restaurants on the island in my…read moreopinion. The food is always great quality. Other Thai restaurants pack their curry with filler, but this place doesn't! Their curry is the absolute best and their staff are always welcoming snd friendly. I would just go here for the great food alone, but the great staff makes it with an easy 5 stars. Parking is a little rough here, but that's because people are always eating here so you may need to pack a little far away. There is only one handicap stall, and so be ready to walk a little. Pricing is fair. Things have definitely gone up, but if you want cheap Thai food you won't get this kind of quality. I easily spend $50 to $100 on two people when I eat here so it's more of a treat and not an every day meal. It's great food and so I only get to treat myself when I can afford it. We can't live in luxury every day, and this Thai food is definitely a luxury! Their current restaurant dining area itself has an authentic Thai vibe, and sometimes they even play Thai music on the digital screen in the dining area. If you eat here then prepare to be immersed in Thai culture!

It has been so difficult to find one as perfect as they were. So, we are very well experienced in Thai food even in Thailand multiple times. Ordered green chicken curry, Pad Si-Eiw, spring rolls, rice. The spring rolls were good, lettuce leaves were tiny but fresh, dipping sauce was great too. The green curry was so awful tasting that we didn't eat it. I've never had green curry that didn't even taste like thai green curry like this. Not sure if fill in cook at lunchtime or what but it didn't even have coconut cream in the sauce. Had to take home to fix this problem, worst ever and would never recommend. Same with the Pad Si-Ew. Totally flavorless! You could tell they just threw it together with precooked pork, precooked broccoli, and tossed it onto the noodles barely fried in a dead sauce of nothing. Another total failure. Do not recommend this or any if this is how they prepare their food. Rice was standard. Will never return to this location again. Can't imagine where or how the good reviews came from but from our experience, they weren't even close.

Bring Friends and Come Hungry…read more Bring a bunch of friends or your family so you can try as many different things as possible. Delicious Thai food made fresh on location. I came with my sister and nephew, and it was a foodie's delight. We wanted to try everything and somehow ended up buying enough food for an army. Definitely get the fried chicken. The curries and stir-fries were also so tasty. Just be careful with the green papaya and mango salads because they can bring the heat. Thank goodness for the sweet Thai iced tea that helped cool down my mouth when it was on fire. Bring cash. The lines are usually short and move quickly. There are tents, tables, and chairs where you can sit and enjoy your food. Come hungry and bring enough people to justify ordering way too much.

And some of the food lines can get long. There's multiple lines depending on what you want to order. The fried chicken line and the papaya salad lines are the most popular. They put out the weekend menu online through their social media pages so at least you have an idea before you get there. The fried chicken. Was super flavorful and crispy. I also enjoyed the spring rolls and mango sticky rice. Really great authentic Thai food that's affordable. The workers are all super friendly and the atmosphere is so welcoming. I'll be back for many more upcoming sundays.
