Super great service with affordable prices and options. Highly recommend if you're looking for inexpensive Thai food. I'm used the the tea being a little bit darker in color, but the flavor was basically as rich as it normally is. All the food comes out piping good which burned out hands and tongue, but you know, it was worth it for the flavors that came with the dishes and drink. Overall, good food as shown in the pics, great service and people were super kind. Ambiance was comforting, felt homey and cozy but people kept staring, other than that, really good food. 5/5 for food! read more

Maybe we ordered food on an off Friday night or maybe it was because it was takeout, but I'd describe the food as affordable, but very bland. The papaya salad was spicy but otherwise terribly bland. Nam tok was also not good and kind of flat and flavorless. The meat sticks were good and so was the pad kee mao. The basil duck was dry and tough and also pretty flavorless. The best part of the meal was the rice that came with the duck - it was actually quite perfect. Not sure if we would try in person - was pretty disappointed. read more

Oh man, don't skip on this place! The Phad Thai is delicious. But the duck with noodles soup is my favorite. Actually every duck entree is delicious. But aside from the food, the service is superb. Some of the most attentive polite people that genuinely want you to have a good experience. I love this place read more

I've heard a lot of good things about Siam Noodle and Rice, and I had to give it a try. We got the panang chicken curry, dried fried beef, and the chicken satay. The chicken satay with the peanut sauce was so yummy and flavorful! The dried fried beef was something new to our palette, but we really enjoyed it! I wish it came with rice though. The panang chicken was tasty and flavorful; however, I wish it came with more veggies like potatoes and a little bit more chicken. The curry pairs so well with the rice though. The service was amazing! We got seated right away, and they were so polite and friendly when it came to taking our order and serving us. The ambiance feels like a hole in the wall spot, but you can tell they have authentic Thai cuisine with their Thai decor. There's a tiny parking lot, so there's the chance at free parking. read more

This is out of our way but for the drive it's worth it. But not somewhere I would think of all the time. The prices are fair and nice variety. The portions are good if you aren't sharing with a big group. The pad Thai with tofu was tasty but I thought there should be peanuts but it didn't have any. The pad see ewe is good and more flavorful than the pad Thai. The place is small and simple. Not fancy but friendly staff. Would come back if in the area. read more

Price is good for the amount of food. Though it looks much bigger if fine in than takeout Love the basil duck, really strong basil flavor. But the mild spicy is pretty spicy already Pork and bean stir fry: kinda sweet chewy pork, not bad Fried chicken wings are really crispy and without the ridiculous dough wrapped around like other places read more

08/31/24 - My wife's niece had a baby 08/13. Last night I was going to my nieces house. My niece, her husband & mother, my wife her 2 brothers, & sister in law were all there. They had not eaten dinner so I checked on Yelp for a restaurant close to where I was. I found Siam Noodle & Rice @ 4142 N Broadway. With the help of Mee I ordered a number of dishes for the family starting w/ * Fried Tofu (Mehhh nothing to write home about) * Chicken Satay w/peanut sauce * Chicken Pad Thai (we enjoyed the chicken Pad Thai) * Shrimp Thai Fried Rice (tasty) * Beef Kee Mao (my favorite dish w/fat rice noodles & beef) * Basil Duck (pieces of duck served over white rice) Unfortunately some of the family members can't eat spicy food so all of the dishes were toned down to a milder level. Mee was very helpful read more

Food here is always good. From you feel like home the moment you walk into here with all the mature ladies that knows your name to the amazing food that is presented to you when you order. Place always feels like you just came from being fed at grandmas. read more

The food was really delicious! The seafood rolls was were crispy and fresh and the noodles were soft and a great comfort food. The price was great for the quantity of food you got. Definitely one of the more affordable places. The noodle dishes can easily be split into 2 servings. The curry dishes are a bit smaller and more like a 1 serving dish. The restaurant was nice and clean, and the service there was friendly! It was a smaller eating area so anywhere you sat you had a view to the outside. read more

Excellent food, friendly service, fair prices, what more could you want? We came on a weekday for lunch and there were lots of locals dining in. It's a very casual place, and the food is definitely the star. Service was fast. My favorite dish was the basil duck. Everything was tasty and came out piping hot. I do wish their panang curry came with some veggies to go along with the meal, but the curry itself was very flavorful. There's a small parking lot outside the restaurant. I imagine street parking would be a bit limited during peak hours. read more

My favorite spot for fried rice and pad Thai! It's the perfect spot for takeout night. Easy, delicious and affordable.

My daughter and I had just dropped our cats off in the area to be groomed and were looking for a place nearby to have lunch while we waited. I looked up this place and was thrilled to find my friend Gerry's 5-star review! We love Thai and us place did not disappoint. We had steamed potstickers to start, then my daughter had the rice noodle soup with beef and I had the Panang curry with chicken. Everything was excellent. I've had Panang curry from numerous places and I must say this was the most flavorful! I'm so glad we found this place. Will totally be worth the 30-40 minute drive from our suburb. read more

We stopped by here for dinner on a Sunday evening around 6:45pm. They were pretty busy but we only waited 10-15 minutes or so before being seated. The atmosphere in Siam is a little chaotic but like you stepped into a family dinner kind of way. The older host at the front was catching up with people who were clearly regulars, and warning people walking in that it was a 60 min wait for take out - concerned that they'd get too hungry. The prices here are EXTREMELY reasonable!! I couldn't even believe them when I saw them. Especially with the portion sizes! We got the fried tofu and 2 soups. I got the Tum Yum Noodle Soup because someone posted a photo and said it would be the their last meal if they were on death row. IT WAS AWESOME!!! I was feeling a little under the weather and this soup felt like a warm hug from a Thai grandma! Please please try it if you haven't already. The thicker noodles held a nicer texture, and there was a lot more chicken in it than I expected. I couldn't even finish the whole bowl! The soup came out piping hot and had acid, and was a little sour, a little sweet...all of the Thai flavors you could want. Our bill came out to under $40 with tax and tip for the 2 soups + fried tofu. Crazy value for the amount of and quality of the food! We will definitely be back :) read more

Delicious!! Quite yummy! We had Basil Rice, Beef Pad See Ew and a dish with curry. Great flavors. Clean, small, great service and friendly. Location is in a basic area but the food was really good! Traveled from South Holland. read more

How have I not written a review for Siam Noodle?? I've been coming here since 1995 (original location was on Sheridan) and was introduced to this gem of a restaurant by my best friend during grad school. I have loved this place ever since and this is one of my go-tos whenever we're visiting Chicago. Here's our standard order. These are winners. Every. Single. Time. Chive dumplings Extra orders of fried dried beef and sticky rice with their perfect dipping sauce (If anyone figures out the exact recipe for their dipping sauce, please let me know. I could eat that sauce alone over rice any day of the week). Tod mun (fish cakes) Chicken basil over rice medium Lad nar Thai iced coffee and Thai iced tea Other dishes are also excellent, but these are our faves. Also, the staff is the best!!! Super warm, friendly, and very welcoming. read more

Food was decent, service lacking. Place was unkept. It's a fan fav for many but there are way better Thai places in that area.

We came here on the suggestion of an acquaintance. It seems casual but can get full, so we made a reservation. They are BYOB NO charge! Excellent. We ate family style mostly (it was not my red meat day) and had potstickers, fried rice, and various other dishes (see below). They are very smart to have a menu with numbers next to the food so they don't have to hear people butcher the language. I enjoyed everything and took some stuff home. The tofu with greens and gravy was especially good, and it's hard to mess up egg rolls. The service was friendly and efficient, and even the owner/manager stopped by! I like when that happens, but my acquaintance is a long time customer so maybe that was why? It is not a big place but we had a decent crowd for a Tues/Wed. Either they were out of dessert or we just craved something else because we did not order any. Next time, something sweet is coming! read more

The past two years, we've ordered Pad Thai (our favorite Thai dish) from many Northside Chicago Thai restaurants, and we always seem to be disappointed, but Siam Noodle and Rice does not disappoint! We live in the neighborhood and this has become our go-to place for decent Pad Thai and other Thai specialties. We always carry-out our food (we live a block away), but there is a dining room is you'd like to eat there. It's not a fancy place, but it seems to be family-owned, and it's always busy. The sign of good food, right? Some of the standouts are the Pad Thai (order it with extra veggies), Rama, and the Fried Banana Rolls (sold as an appetizers, but qualifies as dessert). Go! Enjoy!! read more

This restaurant does not disappoint when it comes to Thai food. Their offerings are flavorful, bold, and exciting. Everyone who works there is so nice, and you feel welcomed when you walk in! The pad see ew is fantastic. Ordered it with beef, which paired so well with it. Here's a tip: order "prik nam pla," which is a condiment made of fish sauce and Birds Eye chilies. Sprinkle it on top of the pad see ew, and your taste buds will sing! The thai iced tea, interestingly, was brown and not the characteristic fluorescent orange hue. It was also really sweet for my taste. One minus of our experience was that the wait for the food was a bit long! But we did come on a Saturday night--though it wasn't that busy. read more

I love this place so much. So warm and inviting and the food is always a hit. Feels like home cooking. From the Thai Fried rice to the various rice and noodles dishes, everything about the menu is fresh, hearty, and exciting. My favorite restaurant in the neighborhood hands down. read more

Ordered for takeout on Friday. It took about 20 minutes, and they were just finishing it up as I got there so everything was hot and fresh. It stayed that way for the 5 minute drive back home. We ordered the basil duck, deep fried chicken, crab rangoon, and Pad Prig Khing with Roast Pork. The crab rangoon was a bit different from the kind you normally find at restaurants. I'm not sure if I would say it seemed homemade, but they definitely at least use a unique supplier for it. The shell was nice and crispy, and the flavor was just ok. The deep fried chicken was quite good. Fried without any thick batter or breading, it was still really crispy, and the flavor was great. The basil duck and the pad prig khing but had good flavor, but I was a little disappointed by the portion size for the price. Compared to similar restaurants it was really not very much. Definitely enough to be full for one meal, but usually we like to have leftovers when we do takeout. Overall it was a good trip. I think they definitely deserve their good reviews, and I plan to go back and try some other things. read more

This is one of the best Thai places in Chicago! I have been here 6+ times and the food is always consistent without fail. It always has the right balance of savory, umami, sweetness and acidity as well as fresh herbs and crunchy texture like peanuts to round out the experience. I love the pad thai, panang curry, green curry, and Tom kha Kai! You name it, they have it! Highly recommend! read more

I've been living in Buena Park for 4 years, and this spot will ALWAYS be the go-to comfort place for food. Whenever you are having a bad day, or you are too lazy to cook, come to Siam to feel like you are at home. The staff is always amazing, and the food is always delicious. For the price, you really can't beat it. Their Panang Curry is the best in the city! read more

My sister recommended this spot as her job often orders from here. The food was pretty tasty and came in good portions. We each ordered a dish and still had food leftover.

Would definitely come back again. read more

Walked over here on a Sunday evening after the Cubs game as my friend and I were craving Thai food, but I wanted to try a new place. I have to say, this place is now definitely apart of my top 5 go-to Thai restaurants in the city. I've had this place on my radar since moving to Chicago, but now that I live in the Uptown area, I've finally made an appearance and I absolutely loved it. Our server was soooo friendly and sweet, and the friend Tofu app was great as well as my Pad See Ew plate! My friend really enjoyed his curry as well. We were both very content here. I believe they are BYOB as well (?) so looking forward to returning here at some point! read more

Siam Noodle and Rice - Fried Tofu - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

For real this is one of the best places to go in Buena. It has decent prices at lunch. Siam has a lot of Thai of course, and it does these well. Considering the quality, it's a pretty good deal for almost everything. There's the classic favorites plus a few exotic ones. Came here the last time with the girl and we got a few classics. It's best to get here at lunch. The prices are better and there's still big portions. Be aware the restaurant isn't that big. Usually finding seats is okay. It's about $10 for an entree. There's some of the best classic Thai. I had the Pad Kee Mao. This has basil leaves, bean sprouts, black bean sauce, chili sauce, collard greens, eggs, wide rice noodles, and the choice of protein. Get it vegan by leaving out eggs. This was a filling amount, mostly because of the big noodles. She had the Pad See Ew. This was similar but had peanuts. Even those who aren't that into Thai can find an enjoyable item. It has a lot to choose from, with the ability to pick proteins. They have recently opened in a newer location so there's more room than the older one, while they have the same great spiciness and taste. read more

I think I've just continued my long term relationship with Siam Noodle and Rice. Have you ever dated someone and separated for a really long time and then got happily reunited?? No?? Well neither have I but that's how I feel about this recent experience. They used to be rock solid on Sheridan Rd. I moved outta Wrigleyville and haven't been back until they moved to this current location. I really like this new spot, located in a tiny strip mall so there's ample parking if you arrive at 11:00 a.m. I also like the seating arrangement as it's spacious and the windows let in a lot of natural light. As for the food, it's a mixed review but it doesn't deter from the 5 star rating. Some of this stuff, I'm unfamiliar with so I forced myself to try something new off the menu. Thank you also for the Yelp pics my fellow Yelpers, because it led me to try: - the fried beef, I love beef jerky - the roasted pork with green beans, very flavorful and crunchy - their chicken with green curry, love that coconut milk broth - old favorites chicken satay and spring rolls, nailed both like a gymnast planting her feet off a dismount. These were all very satisfying!! But I would skip the underwhelming crab Rangoon - which I thought would be a slam dunk for every Thai restaurant, not enough filling and fake crab. Also, the collared greens with roasted pork required way too much chewing. Finally, it's BYOB and that's a great plus. I would say that this has become my favorite Thai place in all of Chicagoland. read more

I came here with my husband and parents on a Friday evening and we were seated immediately. We ordered the mini egg rolls which were very cute and very good! We ordered 3 mains and added a fourth because we were hungry! The chicken pad see ewe was so good and my favorite. We also got the penang curry which was also good and two other dishes (one had a peanut curry) which were good but not amazing. This is a great neighborhood find and I will be back -- especially for the noodles! read more
