We had a nice time here for a group of 10. We made reservations and we had the entire space to ourselves. The decor was nice with holiday touch still intact. The server serving our table was attentive and friendly. We ordered yellow, red and green Thai curry along with savory noodles with chicken and jasmine rice and brown rice and white rice for the table. The meals were enjoyed by all. It as different from other Thai places in the area but still good. read more

Solid Asian food in a warm setting with very friendly staff. Whether it's chonburi wings (though they've cut back of the amount of sauce--- disappointing!) or the pad Thai, the food at this restaurant rarely disappoints. The lemongrass saki is pleasant. Hard to go far wrong in the suburban Thai eatery. read more

We went for an early dinner, midweek. The restaurant was pretty quiet. We were not sure what to expect. But the food was delicious and the service was excellent. read more

Used to come here every other weekend but ever since there was a change in management, it's no longer so good. Smaller portions, flavors are off, and more expensive! The standards and quality along with authenticity went down. Will not be coming back. read more

One of my favorite Thai takeouts! I love their pad Thai, although the portion is small for the price. The ingredients are always fresh though and its yummy! Their appetizers are great too - chicken satay is one of my favorites. Don't sleep on their Tom Yum soup either - so comforting on a cold/rainy day! I never dined in so cannot comment on that, but if you want good take out check it out! read more

The inside of this restaurant in very very pretty. We came in on a week night on a whim. Walking in there's a bar and a really pretty dining area and an indoor chiminea! It seemed really empty until the waiter brought us around the corner and there was a surprise whole other side the restaurant - which was also quite nice. I got the Chicken in the garden and the husband got the green curry. We both liked the taste of our food very much. The other reviews all mention smaller portions and they aren't wrong. It is a bit pricey and we had no left overs. The service was all quite good though - they refilled our waters and were correctly attentive. It was overall a good experience. read more

Delicious food, with wonderful servers and a lovely interior. The menu is quite diverse, and after several visits, I have not yet had a disappointing experience at Siam Lotus. The red curry and the green curry are both nicely balanced with plenty of spices, fresh ingredients but not overwhelmed with hot chilis. It's locally owned, and is a place where one can also derive added pleasure from providing business to a very superlative local family restaurant. read more

Hello, I tried to email you from your website, but your email app doesn't work. We've been customers for many years and have enjoyed the food from Siam Lotus over the years. However, yesterday I bought a take-out order of Country-style Chicken, Siam Rolls, white rice and brown rice. The food was awful this time. I know you've changed ownership a year or two ago, but up until now the food has been generally the same as always. Maybe you've just changed your chef, or recipe? The Country-style Chicken was not spicy, no flavor, no chile pepper, too soupy, vegetables were not cut up, and it was too much like a stew. The brown rice had no flavor, and dry clumpy consistency. The meal was terrible, and we are not happy. We had to throw it out. Your quality had gone far downhill. read more

I hate to give a negative review, but I recently got a chicken and shrimp pad Thai as takeout, and it was thoroughly underwhelming. It was expensive, small, bland, contained almost no chicken, no peanuts , no fish sauce, no scallions, and the noodles totally weren't what you expect in a pad Thai. I have no idea who's cooking over there but - based on this one dish - it isn't authentic Thai. read more

The cost is pricey for what you're really getting. I also have found inconsistencies between take out and dine in. The takeout portions and quality just doesn't seem to match the experience when eating in the restaurant. When we ordered take out, it was just okay both times, but when we ate in the restaurant (in between the first and second take out) it was really good. Pad Thai is the only thing we've seen consistently good between all our visits throughout the past year. read more

We have been enjoying Siam Lotus for well over 25 years now. From back when it was at the golf course. After the new management took over a few years ago the quality has gone downhill. The portions are smaller and just doesn't taste the same. It used to be very consistent in flavors. The other day I had the Country style chicken basil - always one of my go to favorites - and it was super salty and only a few vegetables. Disappointed. read more

I ordered Duck Panang and the duck was spoiled!$$ .. I have great reviews about this place but never again

I'd give it 4.5 if I could. I usually like to visit a place a few times before I sign off on a five. There is a Holiday Inn Express very close by and this was the only restaurant that didn't involve driving very far. Besides, I like Thai food very much. It was Sunday around 7pm when I arrived, only a few others were there, and they were seated off next to a wall. I was asked if sitting at the bar was "ok" and since no one was there - sure why not! The place is clean, bright, prompt, and polite. The staff greeted me as I sat down. The menu was manageable without being not hard to decide what to get. I have always been a Tom Yum (soup) fan so that was easy. I also ordered the Homestyle Veggies and added in some chicken. Both were excellent. I wanted to drain each bowel but my mother raised me not to make a scene. The staff checked in on me and quickly retreated when not needed. Another group of people came in and I also notice there was a steady stream of people pick up their food (the locals like this place!). The don't serve hard liquor but do have wine and beer. They take AMX as well. They were very appreciative I stopped in thanked me several times. When/if I am in the area, I will be back. read more

What a lovely find! The food was fabulous and the restaurant is lovely. A great way to have a date night. The service was gracious and thoughtful and very attentive. We had the Masaman Curry. WOW! Just the right heat and I had the added shrimp. What a love broth and flavorful meal. I wish I'd taken a picture. We will go there again when we are in town! 5 Stars for us! read more

The quality of food at this place has declined significantly over time. The chicken in the Thai basil chicken dish smelled bad and tasted funny. My tummy felt sick afterwards. No thank you, next... read more

We thought this place was going to be good given that it had decent reviews. We tried the fried tofu, the outside texture felt rubbery. The sauce of the fried tofu wasn't thick enough for it to stick onto the tofu when you dip it in so there was no taste to the tofu. The savory noodles was a bit too spicy for our liking and small portion. The chicken pad thai was salty. read more

Was craving Thai food tonight. Decided on Siam Lotus in Norwood and was so so happy! Absolutely delicious pad thai and masaman curry chicken. Thought we'd stick to the basics when trying a new place and we were thrilled - this place def did not disappoint! The chicken satay app was tender and the sauces were awesome. So happy we found this place! read more

I eat here whenever I am in the area. The food is excellent. I love the curry puffs and pineapple fried rice. Wish I lived closer!!

Excellent.. never disappointed .. always well prepared and delicious. Friendly service. Immaculate restaurant.

Delicious food and service! Waitstaff were perfect. Food is delicious. Highly recommend!

Waited for 10 min... one person was working. It was busy, but we didn't even have water after 10 min. We left.

We have been long time diners of Siam Lotus- since their orig location on Rte 1. We hadn't been there since the pandemic (in fact we thought they had closed permanently) so last night we excitedly went back. Sadly the quality wasn't near what it used to be. The vegetable spring rolls tasted like they had been frozen -the filling was tasteless & dry The Chonburi wings were tiny & the sauce was tasteless. The Veg fried rice was tasteless & the mushy carrots were clearly frozen- . We're so sad as Siam Lotus was our go to Thai place read more

Picked up takeout from Siam Lotus for the first time. So delicious! For our five-member family, we got two curries, two noodles, and an appetizer (outstanding chicken satay), and have plentiful leftovers. read more

I was in the area during my travels and I gave this place a try. Now, I eat food from a Thai food restaurant probably once a month, so I'm not an aficionado on the subject, but I'm no novice either. My favorite dish in particular is Pad Thai and the one I received from this restaurant was just plain bad. It was basically just noodles (almost no sauce) with peanuts sprinkled on top. No lime. No nothing. This is such a classic and popular dish that it's just so surprising that a Thai restaurant could do it so poorly and that's what prompted this review. My party ordered several other dishes from the menu and pretty much everything was underwhelming - some too salty - some too bland. This place is just missing the mark across the board. read more

Siam Lotus - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Norwood, Massachusetts

Good food, interesting ambience. I came here with my cousin last weekend for dinner on a Saturday. The food was delicious, I ordered the savory noodles and Siam rolls and my cousin ordered the steamed mussels and Siamese fried rice. Everything was seasoned to perfection. The waitress was very friendly and patient with us as we took a while to figure out what we wanted to order. As far as the ambience is concerned, I found the restaurant to be quite dim and it definitely gave off an intimate feel. In fact, the restaurant seemed so intimate that we could actually hear ourselves talk and we felt like we were the only people there. We weren't the only people there though so it felt slightly awkward. I felt like I had to be conscious of how loud I was talking which made me uncomfortable because when I go to a restaurant, I typically don't need to monitor the volume of my voice. At one point I heard someone shushing us and I felt like we were at a silent restaurant. With all that said, I would visit this restaurant again because the food was good, perhaps on a day that I lose my voice. read more

Hadn't been there in a while, used to go allot when I was local. Used to be fantastic, not any more. Fresh rolls had zero shrimp or chicken, no basil,just stuffed with mixed salad greens and a few carrots. Served with hoisun sauce?? shrimp bites, not bad, but served with a sweet duck sauce, not the usual cucumber or similar .Glass noodle soup was bland, it used to be in a rich flavorful beef broth, this was like weak wonton soup broth. Basil beef, very, very bland sauce, low quality meat. Pad Thai, not too bad, but no shrimp, no lime.Pretty pricy too, $85 plus tip with 2 beers.Service was nice, but place was pretty empty for a Fri night..I see from other reviews that these are new owners, and it shows. read more

Always loved their food but shame on them for reducing portions while at the same time raising prices. I know times are tight but of all the Asian food choices in this area they have exploited our situation the most. read more

This was my first time here for dinner. The pad Thai, spring rolls and chicken satay were excellent. The mixed vegetables were good but the portion was tiny for $13. The coconut soup had way too much fish sauce, and the spicy mussels were just ok. Here is what the owners should do to make this an excellent place: 1. Lower the lights. So uncomfortable with the overhead lights on full blast. 2. Turn up the music.i could hear conversation across the restaurant. 3. Get a full liquor license. 4. Put up some Thai decor. Very stark restaurant. 5. Improve food, it is more expensive than any other Thai place I've ever been to. 6. Lower the lights!!!!!!! read more

This place has the best Thai food around. The noodles are flavorful but they know how to control the fish sauce which can have an overpowering smell. We are sorry we did not try this place before. We have only ordered for pick up so cannot comment on the service but they are welcoming whenever I pick up food. Our go to place whenever we want Thai read more

I went there before Christmas, for lunch with friend. The food is always good. There weren't many people there, we had plenty of distance to anyone else. All staff wore masks. Good since we don't usually go out. We ordered shrimps in a blanket as appetizer. The best. They have a large lunch menu with many plate choices which include rice. We could sit for a long time after eating, they didn't push us, but it wasn't busy. Good value at lunch too. read more

More like 3.5 stars, but the wife thought 4 stars. They serve the Thai Iced Tea with two small carafes: one with cream and one with simple syrup so you can make your iced tea as creamy and sweet as you like. Great idea! It takes a couple of sips to get the mix right. The soups were very good, we got the Tom Khar and Hot & Sour Shrimp. Portion size was disappointing with entrees: Shrimp Himaparn and Chicken Green Curry. For what we paid, the portion sizes should have been larger. Otherwise, the veggies were fresh and not overcooked and spice and taste levels were good. Definitely better than your run-of-the-mill Thai restaurant. read more

Take out: We ordered and they quoted us 20 minutes, came 30 minutes and had to wait another 15 minutes. Total time for takeout: 45 minutes. Really? We might as well eat there! What's the point of take out if it takes that long. I guess they were still cooking something we ordered. We ordered: Pad Thai with chicken, pad see eew with chicken, satay chicken, and tom yum soup with shrimp. The food was "meh". The Tom Yum soup doesn't taste like a normal Tom Yum soup, this one tasted weird, like it didn't have that lemongrass or lime taste, it wasn't sour. I can't pin the taste down, but it's not a typical tom yum soup. I did not like it. The pad thai noodles was very bland and "eggy". Usually pad thai has this orange color to it, this one was more of white-ish and egg tasting. It wasn't too bad, but not your normal Thai pad thai. Needs more flavoring. The pad see eew on the other hand was better than the other 2 dishes, but a little soy saucey...And the noodles were all stuck together and a bit mushy. It's like they can't get it right... And the Satay chicken was the only good thing. It was a big chunk of meat and the peanut sauce was delicious! Overall, if you are expecting authentic Thai food, this place doesn't do Thai justice. I've eaten at many many many Thai places and my good friend is Thai and her mom's cooking is very authentic, and this one was more on the bland side and tasted nothing like Thai food! Can't pin it down exactly...like in between Chinese imitating Thai. The only good thing was the satay chicken. read more

I left the Boston area several years ago for San Diego, but miss Siam Lotus. I try to make a trip down to Norwood for Siam Lotus when I'm in town, even when I'm staying in downtown Boston. One of my favorite versions of Pad Kee Mao is labeled on Siam Lotus's menu as "Savory Noodles" ($9) and described as "fried flat rice noodles with ground chicken in hot and spicy holy basil sauce." I remember coming to love this delicious stir-fry dish 15 years ago when I was in my 20s and working long hours at a tech startup across the street. Pad Kee Mao is called "Drunken Noodles" at most other Thai restaurants in the United States, a poor translation of "Pad" (stir-fry) and "Kee Mao" (drunk person). No alcohol is added to Pad Kee Mao, despite its name. Folklore is that it got its name from its ability to jolt drunks back to sobriety due to its powerful spices. After trying numerous interpretations of Pad Kee Mao, Siam Lotus's remains my favorite. If I don't order the Savory Noodles, I order the "Duck Choo Chee" ($19), featuring a generous amount of succulent roasted duck swimming in a decadent Choo Chee curry sauce with snow peas, baby corn, and other vegetables. The "Beef Panang" ($14) is a traditional curry dish that I've been known to order from Siam Lotus, with slices of tender beef covered in a peanut-based Panang Curry sauce. It hits the spot if I'm in the mood for a sweeter Thai dish. My favorite appetizer at Siam Lotus is the "Steamed Prince Edward Island Mussels" ($8.75) - particularly for the sweet, spicy sauce it is served with. Their "Siam Rolls" ($5.25) are good too, and guaranteed to please a crowd. (The turnip sauce they're served with is relatively weak, but you can order them like Jay K., with a crushed red pepper sauce on the side.) Service at Siam Lotus is always fast. Everyone who works there is courteous, and I've never had an issue with anything despite visiting well over a 100 times over the years. In summary, I highly recommend this place. For those who don't work or live in Norwood or Dedham, Siam Lotus is an "under the radar" gem for traditional Thai food and deserves more love on Yelp. Food/Décor/Service: 4.4/3.9/4.1 read more

We are so happy that this restaurant is open again. Last night though, one of the green curry orders we had was supposed to be mild, and was spicy instead. I was sad that my guest couldn't eat it. I'm sure we'll try again sometime! read more

This place is not Thai Thani. But it's not bad either. It's got a little of that Asian Fusion feel and the food was tasty, but not delicious. The place is vast and clean and modern inside and the service is crisp and friendly but not overly so. I wish they'd have refilled my water more often, but, otherwise, no real complaints and no real raves either. read more

My 2nd time visiting. This place is amazing... I'm from Las Vegas.. my girlfriend and I from Thailand. Very authentic food.
