    My family and I have been coming here for years! This place is one of my favorites to get pho (if you're into a more sweeter tasting broth). We love the Thai tea here! The atmosphere and the service is always great. They are located on Nimitz. The parking up front is really tight and there is more parking in the garage.

    Seriously, I have to remember to at least have something to eat earlier in the day before coming to a place with such good food like here. We both got here starving and fell for the "hungry eyes are bigger than the stomach" trap! It was just the two of us and here's what we ordered along with a Singha beer to kick off the meal... Spring rolls Masaman curry w/chicken Stuffed chicken wings Me grob with pork Thai fried chicken We also each ordered a serving of sticky rice Everything was fantastic as usual and it would be tough to pick out a favorite. I really do love their food and my only nit might be that the sauce for the Me Grob is a touch too sweet, nothing a spoonful of one of their chili sauces doesn't help balance out though. This meal was easily enough to feed a family of 4 (and keep in mind there was a 2nd beer ordered somewhere in the middle of all the food.) If we were planning on heading home afterwards it'd be no problem boxing up the leftovers for a late night snack or breakfast but we had a ton of plans afterwards so the food would probably go bad sitting in the car. Well, we did like all kids of mothers who drilled into us the "...there are starving kids in foreign countries" mantra and pretty much ate ALL of it, I think the only thing left was a bit of sticky rice and a tiny piece of chicken. Yeah, we were uncomfortably full but our moms would've been proud.

    Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... My niece is home for a couple of weeks. She really likes Thai food, so we chose Siam Garden Cafe because of the free parking at Nimitz Center! LOL! The restaurant is located in the same strip mall as Eagle Cafe. I was here many many years ago with my high school classmate. We had stuffed chicken wings, pad Thai, green papaya salad, and summer rolls. It was a yummy meal! The cozy, dimly lit interior looks authenticly decorated. Service was pleasant and efficient! We ordered Panang Curry with no spiciness, but it was spicy for me. The sticky rice helped a lot. We also got the pad see ew... it was delicious! This is a convenient location with accessible restroom! We'll be back!

    So we stopped by Siam Food is always great and service is fantastic I got the following this time Garlic Fish (Pla Tod Gratiem) and side sticky rice

    The best Thai food anywhere spring rows are. Plentiful curry's tastes great.I reached out, especially their stuffed chicken. It's killer, good. Go and try this place. I've been coming here over 20 years. Portions are still in in good portions

    The food is spot on! The service fantastic and I love the ambiance. The prices have risen but it will not stop me from visiting often. If you pay cash you save 3%. My wife and I spent $77 tip included for 3 separate dishes and one sticky rice and one regular rice. But, it's worth it to treat yourself to a nice lunch or dinner right? See you there! You can thank me later.

    Cucumber salad
    Jolene L.

    We started with their cucumber salad. Packed with flavor, even the "mild" is spicy. You can tell they make this fresh because the cucumber slices were still firm and not soggy. Their yellow curry was delicious. Smooth sauce that isn't too salty. We added chicken to our order and that was a nice texture. We enjoyed this over sticky rice. Our favorite was the pad thai. Balanced layers of taste that wasn't too sweet, not too tangy, and not too salty. The noodles were tender, the veggies were fresh, and we added fried tofu to our order. We went during late lunch so it wasn't too busy and the service was attentive. Over the years, the food here seems to be consistent...tasty and plentiful!

    Been going to this spot for a long long time, their food keeps bringing me back. We got the stuffed chicken wing, the pad kee mao and their whole garlic fish. They didnt disappoint. They are still very consistent. This place still got the same lady servers in their 50s, warm and nice. They kept checking on us so felt like I have to tell them the food was really good lol. The restaurant is fairly small so when theres a larger group in there, its quite noisy. When we were visited, there was a large group of 10 ppl right next to us. And there was a moment where one person said curry then rhe whole damn table repeated curry 15 times in different accents. That was kinda weird.

    Spring Rolls / Poh Piah Tod
    Jess B.

    We came here with a party of 18 and I was honestly really impressed with how well the staff handled everything. The servers were super nice, efficient, and patient the whole time. Even with such a big group and a ton of dishes, the food came out pretty quickly and everything was on point. We ordered a bunch of dishes, spring rolls, fried egg rolls. papaya salad, Thai fried rice, panang curry, drunken noodles, and more. Everything was tasty and well-balanced. The mango sticky rice at the end was the perfect finish. The restaurant isn't huge, but they use the space well and were able to fit our whole group comfortably. It's located in a shopping center with paid parking in the back, so just a heads-up if you're driving. Overall, great food and even better service!

    I always enjoy dining at Siam Garden. The food is consistently good. I really enjoy the atmosphere. The decorations and lighting is so festive. Excellent service.

    Pad Thai with chicken, big portion
    Michelle I.

    First time trying this place. Was recommended. Worth trying! Everything we ordered was delicious. I wasn't able to take pictures of everything we ordered. Ordered: all dishes were good portion sizes! -Fried shrimp and fried chicken as appetizers. Both were fried well and the batter for the chicken was light and crispy. -pad Thai was a big dish, lots of flavors - Pineapple curry with shrimp and yellow curry with chicken: lots of curry sauce, so don't forget to add side of rice . One order of rice can be shared at least 1-2 people. - pad see ew, noodles were nice and thick - garlic stir fry with beef, sauce was very tasty - Thai ice coffee: sweet and delicious. Cost $7, which was a little more expansive than I thought it would be. Nice place for lunch or casual dinner. Takes reservations and plenty of parking in front or there is a parking structure in the back. Staff were really friendly and food came out quick

    Beef Salad
    Alice N.

    My favorite place to take my girlfriends out for lunch. I usually like to get the beef salad or one of the special soups. Of course the white noodle pad. Thai is awesome too. Heck you can't really go wrong. My other friend actually ordered two of the desserts and damn it was good. Get the mochi ball one! Plan to go back soon.

    While visiting the home state, my Thai friend recommended me this place and stated it was really authentic, so we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. Being all over Thailand and trying the food there, it's really hard to find good Thai food, especially in the states. We made sure to get there as soon as it opened because I heard it can be very busy. Within the first 30 minutes of it opening, the place was packed. Our waitress handled our orders quickly however, and gave us great recommendations. The food tasted amazing and I really liked my spicy basil beef fried rice. If you are sensitive to spice, I would recommend getting it mild since this was really spicy which I really enjoyed. The food was piping hot and fresh. I can't wait to go back.

    Ask the Community - Siam Garden Cafe

    Is MSG added in their dishes?

    You can specifically ask them NOT to add MSG but all of the other items such as fish sauce, oyster sauce that is used to cook does contain MSG.

    Is anyone else having issues with the phone number to call for take-out? When I call I get a FAX number.

    Last time I drove there on Sunday, the door was locked and notice says "close for deep cleaning". 🤷

    Does anyone know if they're still open? I have been calling for several days to do a take-out order and either I get the busy signal or a fax machine picks up. I know they closed their Kaimuki location - please don't tell me they closed this one.

    I drove there on Sunday and the sign says they are closed for deep cleaning.

    Do they use MSG?

    Yes they do but you can request without.

    Is this place wheelchair accessible?

    Yes, but it's tight

    Where is the best place to park?

    If you can find parking in front of the restaurant then that's ideal but if not there's a parking lot behind with a walk thru tunnel to the restaurant. There is also a ramp up to an upper lot.

    Is it byob?

    No it's not. They have a bar counter inside.

    All I can say about eating at the - "Fun Station" is that it's more fun when eating with a friend,…read more& getting a 20% discount.........well, that's just an extra bonus! So the thing about coming to Fun Station is the "suspended flying noodle thingy" which I didn't go for, but if you like Instagramable stuffs, then I supposed you would probably go for that flying-noodle dish. As for me, I mainly came to try their Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, and as a bonus......... I actually got a 20% discount thanks to my friend - Jennifer C. who let a Bruddah know about da DEALAGES in da Sunday food section newspaper, as they had a coupon! The Sunday morning when I came with my friend, I can clearly see that this restaurant was thriving, as every table in the restaurant was taken. Fun Station specializes in noodles, but if you're not into that, they do serve other items like - soups, vegetable dishes, rice plates, & porridge (jook). Upon looking over the menu, we ordered the following items - 1. Frrrrrrried Chicken Wings ($9.95) for an appetizer 2. Minute Chicken Cake Noodles ($17.95 - minus da 20% coupon DEALAGES) 3. Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton in soup ($18.95) What can I say about da grub??? Da chicken wings came out hot & crispy. Although they featured only "flats" vs. drums (I like drums), I must say da wings was nicely executed. As for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles.........nicely plated on a fancy smanshy panda plate. The cake noodles weren't drowning in gravy, so the noodles stayed crispy on the dish. I really liked how they did this dish, and would easily come back here to eat it again. My friend had the Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton soup. The dish looked good, and there weren't any complaints, so I take it that it was pretty ono! Overall, a very satisfying meal and the service here was on point, as the staff was friendly & very efficient. Easy 5 stars for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles! Chance 'em!

Wife and I came around 2:00 for a late lunch. Usually places are much slower during this and it's a hit and miss for service and spread of food coming out. There was only one other table, two top, and that thought came to mind. However, we were promptly seated, given menus, and shortly after ice waters. We ordered shortly and our food came out fairly quickly, hot and fresh. All were very flavorful. We even ordered Ma Po Tofu as takeout for our daughter for dinner. That was also very good. Yes, think we found our new Chinese restaurant and will be back probably very soon.

Knowing me, I was most interested in the dessert, but we ended up dining here on a whim. We had really great service when we dined in. I ordered the oxtail soup because I hadn't had it before, which fulfills my rule of trying new foods when I can. It was tasty, with a unique spice blend reminiscent of other beef soups I've had in the past. However, I was particularly wowed however by the complementary bread and raspberry jam. Call me simple, but the bread was actually the star of the show for me, perfectly soft and buttery. The location in Waikiki is perhaps a clear reminder that it is a tourism city.

Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. Our waitress seemed to be having a rough day. The table behind us had to send food back three different times because they kept receiving the wrong orders, and there was about a 30-minute period where our server completely disappeared. We had to ask another staff member for our check and to-go boxes. She also never came back to check on our table or refill our water. Everyone has off days, so we're hoping that's all it was. We'd definitely come back because the food was so good--we just hope to have a different server next time.

The sides had larger tables for larger parties. The tables felt pretty close together but we enjoyed the stool/bench chairs we sat on. They were different than what we are used to in restaurants. Our order was taken quickly. We decided to get the beef chow fun, yang chow fried rice, and cheong fun. The cheong fun was good, especially after adding hoisin sauce. The texture was soft and the portion was quite decent. The chow fun was also yummy. It was tasty without being overbearing. The fried rice was our favorite. It was flavorful and included a variety of ingredients. The prices were not bad either, considering the portion sizes. We hope to be back one day to try more of what they have!

There was a couple in front of us who said they come here every time they visit Hawaiʻi and that it's a must-do stop on every trip. When you walk in, it's a small place. You can watch a team member washing the noodles and portioning them into bowls right in front of you. Then you choose your bowl size, small or large, and select your broth. After that, you get to choose from a variety of fried items and other à la carte options displayed on a warmer. Seating can be limited because of how busy this place gets. You line up to get your food, pay for it, grab your condiments, utensils, and a cup of water, then find a seat and enjoy. I've already been here twice, and after writing about my experience, I need to make a third visit happen very soon! There are not enough days off in a week to enjoy all of the amazing food on this island, but I'm going to do my best to experience as many places as I can. This place is totally worth the 45-minute commute from Wahiawa.

About 15 minutes later our order was ready, and we Ubered back to our hotel, which only took a few minutes. When we opened everything up, the portion felt a bit small for the price. The tonkatsu itself was tender, but for us it didn't quite live up to all the hype. I did appreciate that you can choose clam soup instead of the traditional miso soup, and there are different rice options as well, which is a nice touch. Overall, it was a good meal, but not one that completely wowed us given the price. It's possible the experience would have been different dining in, but with the long waitlist and the hot weather, takeout was the better choice for us.

Their parking lot is also pretty decent size, so we had no trouble finding a spot. The banchans were good! One of the sides was poke, which we've never seen at a Korean restaurant before. It was unexpected, but so fresh and delicious. We ordered the cold noodles, spicy pork bulgogi, and seafood pancake. Everything was really good, and we'd honestly rank those dishes above most of the Korean restaurants we've been to. The seafood pancake was packed with seafood flavor, and they definitely didn't skimp on the squid. The spicy pork bulgogi came with a bowl of rice and had the right amount of spicy. The cold noodles totally hit the spot and had just the right amount of toppings in every bite. I was left very satisfied and we even had leftovers of the pork and pancake to take home.

I decided on the cold noodle and kalbi combo for $24. The cold noodles by themselves are only $14, so I thought there would be at least a couple pieces of kalbi in the combo. Nope. Apparently one piece of kalbi is $10. It was served hot, but it was served on a hot plate with onions and the plate itself wasn't hot. Why serve it on a hot plate? Very confusing. The cold noodles were refreshing, but you can get pretty good cold noodles at any Korean restaurant I think. I was a little disappointed in the quantity of food for the combo. Or I wish they had an actual lunch special, maybe I should have just got the ayce at this point right? But I wanted the cold noodles.... Oh well. It doesn't seem like they changed the interior all that much. It was pretty nice inside to begin with and there is a big parking lot. The workers come by when you ring the table side bell. Lol, otherwise they kind of just drop off the food and leave you alone. I was surprised there were like 3 other couples eating from the Ala carte menu at 10:30. I would possibly come back to try their other soups, but I wouldn't get suckered into getting the combos.
