    The server was very knowledgeable about allergens, dietary restrictions and went back to ask the chef what he didn't know.

    Lunch Drunken Noodle
    Karla M.

    I ordered drunken noodles for delivery and one thing I appreciated so much was that it included not only a spring roll but also crab Rangoon! Typically I am left wishing I could replace the spring roll with a crab Rangoon (which most places do not do), but here I did not have that struggle. I also enjoyed how the food was still hot when it arrived. The noodles were consistent throughout. There have been times where l've ordered drunken noodles from other places and some parts are white since the sauce did not reach them. The texture was perfect; soft (like rice cakes) but not falling apart. The taste was really good, and it was not too spicy so you were able to capture all the different flavors including basil leaves, protein, and veggies. And speaking of veggies, they all tasted fresh and there was a good amount of them. The shrimp was a good size and cooked well, and the chicken was thinly sliced but not dry. The spring roll was crispy and the filling was tasty. The crab Rangoon was a bit different than traditional crab rangoons in that the filling had a curry hint to it and it was yellow-ish rather than white.

    March 2023 - size change in containers
    Tianna D.

    This review is about takeout orders. Between 2019 to mid 2022 they would've been 4 stars. When we moved to the area in 2019, Siam Ginger was our go-to for my thai cravings. I've never dined in, I usually do pickup orders since I live within walking distance. Their pad thai is our most frequently ordered item, other than that we get their spring rolls, crab rangoons, pineapple/ mango / somerville fried rice, the curries, drunken noodles, chicken noodle soup and wonton soup. I understand that the pandemic affected a lot of businesses to increase prices although during this time it peeved me to collect a new takeout menu to order from them later that same week to get a total that is more than what's calculated from the menu I got (and yes I factored in the tax). You can say that's a personal issue, but I collected another takeout menu upon pick up of my order and the prices were the same as my previous menu from earlier that week, why have them on display if they don't reflect your current prices?? So I started ordering online because the prices reflected were kept up-to-date. This was going fine till it became a REQUIREMENT to tip before you can check out an online order for pick up. Why am I tipping before I even get to experience anything? I haven't communicated with a person yet, which 8/10 times they're not very friendly when you go to pick up your order. I haven't seen nor tasted the food that I have ordered yet to know if it is up to par with the standards they've set for me because there have been times were the food isn't up to par but I'll try them again soon after and there back up to par. Anyways, let me not get into my views on the entitled tipping culture in this country.. I had taken a break from them for a few months and fast forward to March 2023 I decided to order a pad thai one day because I was craving it. When I took the container of pad thai out the bag I was confused if the container was always this size, it seemed a bit smaller than usual. I keep a collection of take out containers as extra tupperware which most are collected from Siam Ginger. So for comparison I took out one of the containers from a past order and they were not the same size.. So not only has the prices gone up, they've reduced size of the containers thus reducing the serving sizes!!! I used to be able to get 3 servings out of their pad thai, now it's about 1.25 servings (for myself only). Now we're in Jan 2024, with the last order being in March. My husband felt for a wonton soup and got it from here. It costed $7.50 with tax for it, understandable that it cost more now than it did the last time we ordered a wonton soup BUT they've reduced the container size for that as well!! It used to be an 18oz container which is filled to about 14-15oz line. Last night he received a 16oz container and it was only filled barely the 10oz line !! I'm surprised the wonton count was still 3 instead of 2, I wouldn't be surprised if those were smaller pieces than before! I should have taken a photo of it. If the food remained the same quantity and the prices went up I'd be very understanding but to increase the prices and reduce the serving size is absolutely upsetting, it's dishonourable!

    If you're in the area and not sure where to go eat, choose Siam Ginger! I can't believe it took me this long to try them out. I've tried many different restaurants around and on Bow Street and they were a disappointment. I wish I found Siam Ginger earlier! Their crab rangoons are so addictive! Their fried rice was incredible also! The mushroom and taro puffs were flaky and filling! The drinks were fun and innovative. It's an overall amazing experience. This will be my go to when I'm in the area for sure!

    this place is fantastic! definitely my favorite thai spot - they have a fabulous (and beautifully illustrated) cocktail menu and the best scallion pancakes i've ever had. super cute, colorful ambiance ft. festive decor and a staff that treats you like a regular :)

    My friend and I were in the area and stopped by for a quick dinner. It was a bit late (and extremely rainy) when we got here, so there was only one other table taken, but there was a periodic stream of people with takeout orders. We ordered the pad thai krob, pad kra pow with beef, and the mango sticky rice. Pad thai krob was the highlight - yummy crispy noodles, juicy chicken, a generous helping of peanut powder, and overall just a very delicious and enjoyable bowl. Pad krapow was a bit mediocre - flavour was a bit bland (in particular lacking in the usual aromas / spices that I expect from pad krapow dishes) and not very spicy at all. Mango sticky rice was unfortunately quite disappointing - the rice was not sweet and a bit tasteless, and the mango had a bit of a sour aftertaste. (Perhaps not surprisingly so, though, since mangoes are out of season, but still disappointing considering the dessert features mangoes quite prominently). Overall, a rather average meal - if I do come back I would be keen on trying some other noodle dishes.

    Fried Banana W/ Fried Ice Cream

    Really great Thai place to check out when you're in union square! It was fairly quiet in there on a Saturday afternoon but we may have come in after the lunch rush. The staff was really nice and welcoming and helped give us recommendations. Their Thai iced tea comes with the cutest dog shaped ice cube which was a nice touch for a casual spot. We started with the Tom yum which was as expected, but nothing to write home about. We loved their drunken noodles and the crab Rangoon have curry powder in them which made them a super unique find. The mushroom puffs were almost too pretty to eat and delicious. The crispy chicken basil was a very solid entree, highly recommend that one! We ended with the fried banana with fried ice cream which was obviously great.

Fish cakes were small and perfectly uniform - almost like they were frozen rather than prepared on site. Green curry had some spice but was mostly one note, there just wasn't much depth of flavor. Vegetables were all cut in huge hunks - both dishes had giant pieces of red bell peppers and onions. Fried rice was pretty bland and barely had any Chinese broccoli in it. Ambiance was bare bones - you order at the counter and they bring you your food and plastic side plates. Half the tables were stacked with boxes and bags of takeout orders. To top it off there's no bathroom, we were told to use the bathroom at another local business. If I'm gonna spend $60 somewhere, I expect to be able to wash my hands before eating and use the restroom. Perhaps there are some specialty dishes that we didn't try but this was my 2nd time ordering from here (I got take out once before) and both times the food was pretty bland. A truly underwhelming experience - especially when there are so many better restaurants in the area.
