Siam Pasta here on Western Ave is a hole in the wall, 110%. The thai flavor definitely comes out in this place. Starting off with the fresh hot chicken Satay that comes with the cucumber salad and the peanut butter sauce to the fresh crispy crab rangoon that pairs so eloquently with the sweet & sour sauce. Don't hestitate with Pad See Ew, thick thai noodles with pieces of scrambled egg and mini brocolli, and your choice of meat, chicken or beef. You can't go wrong. Service was always top notch. They were always attentive and were super fast when the food came out. I highly recommend this place with all of my heart read more

Gen X, they still take calls for delivery! They are $2 more an entree, but it's really great food. The green curry was kind of jaw dropping. So creamy w deep spicing. Very nice people to deal with as well. They should have coupons, I would order every week! read more

This is a great bang for your buck type of restaurant. I ordered takeout. The food was ready to go when I arrived and the reception area was clean and organized. The staff was super helpful and friendly. The whole experience was a breeze. read more

This is my local go to Thai restaurant. Warm friendly service every single time, the fastest delivery ever, and the food is consistently delicious. I love them. read more

I carry out a lot but also enjoy going there to eat. You can sit and relax and actually talk. The food always comes soon and is hot. The service is always good. I'm so glad they are still open. I love a lot of the dishes, baby egg rolls and Rama chicken are some of my favorites but anything I have ordered has been delicious. They have a great menu. read more

I have been going to Siam Pasta for over 20 years. It has gone through some changes over the years, however I notice an improvement over all. They do not skimp on the fresh crunchy vegetables in each entree and when I eat there i actually feel good afterwards, no salt/grease hangover. The service is very kind, I've taken my kids there several times and the waitresses are always sweet and bring out kid safe cups. My kids love the pad woonsen and any of the dumplings. I love the embroidered tapestries on the wall and the peaceful atmosphere. We love so many dishes there, especially the ginger chicken, rama chicken, spicy crazy noodles, the beef salad, and oh my gosh the baby egg rolls are my favorite. When you get tofu instead of meat they also do it very well, crispy but not greasy. I hope they stay open forever. read more

I walked in here not knowing it was going to be so cool. The restaurant is super clean with nice and respectful staff. Service was quick and the food was really good. There is also a ton of it, which is surprising because it's not expensive at all. I will be coming here again read more

Great service food and value! We get Pad Thai, Sushi and for dessert the mango and sticky rice is delicious! read more

I had a taste for pad Thai so I walked to the restaurant to have a sit down meal. When I walked in and asked for a table, the lady said that they weren't accepting dine in patrons because "the electricity was about to be shut off". She suggested I order something to go. My thoughts were if the electricity was going to be turned off "at any moment" then how do I know that my food will be able to be cooked? I had walked there and didn't want my food to get cold walking back home. Plus I wanted the ambiance of sitting in a restaurant. Not sure I'll order take out in the future, but maybe I should to help them pay their electric bill? read more

We always order from here to go. Yesterday we ordered Tom Kha soup & beef fried rice.

Been coming to this place for years. The food is either hit or miss. They have started skimping on serving sizes and their hours need to be updated online. Some times you can't dine in and other times when they're supposed to be open they aren't. Considering that I travel a good ways need more consistency from them read more

This is the OG spot in Roger's Park for thai food. I have been a loyal customer since I was in grade school so over 10+ years. I was obsessed with their food since like the 6th grade. And the best part... it's less than a 5 minute walk from my house. Their pad thai and pad see eiw are impeccable! It's a little on the oily side, but what thai food isn't? I haven't had a single issue with this place and is definitely my favorite. I always crave their crab ragoons! They come in a unique shape that I don't see anywhere else and they are ALWAYS crispy and perfectly made. I don't think I will ever stop coming here. I really plan on trying other stuff from their menu because I am guilty of always getting my usual. I love the feel of the restaurant. It hasn't changed much over the years. However, I value its authenticity. There is always plenty of seating inside as well. I live for their lunch specials because I spent only $10 on my meal and you get an entree with an appetizer. Totally worth it. read more

Siam Pasta - Pad see eiw lunch special with crab rangoon - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Food is consistently great! Very friendly and attentive. Perfect for meeting friends. Clean and bright. F

This was my favorite thai restaurant growing up. No matter what you ordered the food was always amazing and never too expensive. Last year the owners sold to a Japanese couple and now food is no longer vegetarian. Fish oil is used for all dishes including the vegetable dishes and there is no vegetable oil substitute available. Huge loss for the vegetarian community of Rogers Park, West Ridge and Evanston. The food is also tripled in price. Its like they just use the name and facade as a friendly familiar costume to get you inside but the restaurant is completely different now. Service is very very nice so 2 stars but the price and dubious "vegetarian" labeling knocks off 3 stars read more

BRAVO. I have been coming to Siam Pasta long before they expanded into the two storefronts they now occupy. Recently the flavor has some added zing (not too much) and they are very customer focused. My Roasted Duck Curry was amazing the other night and I had the pleasure of their sushi today. On top of the flavor and an excellent coldness to the sushi (mandatory in my book) Chris did an excellent job on presentation. I won't swear to it but I think they have a YouTube nature video playing on the flat screen. It made for a very relaxing meal. read more

I was feeling hungry around 10:00 and brought my family into this wonderful place and had some amazing sushi everyone was very polite and very calm space I really think you guys could check this place out especially on a night out great prices two and there's always specials . read more

While my one visit to the dining room wasn't much to write home about, Siam Pasta has become a go-to delivery spot for us. Once when a friend was visiting from out of town, we ordered from here because my husband really enjoys their various catfish dishes, usually curries, and he recommended one to her, and whichever she ordered did not disappoint. Hubs likes to get curries, often green and often beef. We also often share the chicken satay appetizer. Lately I have been eating very low fat, and the basil chicken offers more than adequate flavor (especially for a menu item found in the diet section of a menu). We live fairly close, but delivery is always fast and the food arrives hot. read more

I have been ordering from this place for over 20 years and all that time I would have given this place at least 4 stars but the last time I picked up food from this place I was greatly disappointed. First the prices have risen astronomically. My favorite appetizer Shrimp in a blanket was clearly frozen when it was cooked and it was completely undercooked. The shrimp inside the crispy wrapper was grey, looked raw and tasted like a walk-in. The chicken Pad Thai was unseasoned and completely tasteless. I ate one bite of each dish from this horrible overpriced meal and threw the rest in the bin. To add insult to injury when I picked up my food the place was cluttered and filthy. I will never be back. read more

VERY OVERPRICED and TINY PORTIONS!! We ordered for the delivery on New Year's Day, abd they were the only open and delivery Thai restaurant in our area, and were so disappointed when the food arrived. Crab Lagoon were 6 tiny little pieces and sauce ($5.95) The Duck Curry was $14 and very small portion compared to most other Thai restaurants. The Crazy noodles was also small and about $12 if I remember correctly. We spent $40 after including a $5 tip for the driver, and were still hungry after we ate. Would not recommend. 2 stars because of good flavor read more

Experience not so great this time. Something was spoiled - I don't know if it was the tofu or the oil, but I threw the whole dish out. When the kitchen was asked, of course they said everything was fine. Right. My experience with this restaurant has always been great. This time, they offered to send the same dish or another of my choosing, so at least they were willing to make amends. I will order from them again; I'll just stay away from the cashew tofu for awhile. read more

Update: ordered again and everything below stood true. Sauces that come with apps are not the usual flavor I would expect, but not terrible. Wanton soup was good and surprise had a real shrimp! Crab Rangoon really good, not too much cream cheese. Egg rolls had great flavor too! Pad Thai was good, above average but still a little dry. Beef fried rice had great flavor! Delivery was on time and came up to our floor. Food was hot when it arrived read more

SERVICE: Super quick. When I come here for lunch, the time from walking in to walking out typically takes about ten minutes. FOOD: I've ordered the pad thai lunch special here. The lunch special is super cheap, so there really is no beating it. Because it's hard to get inexpensive pad thai in the city, I usually wait until I had a Monday off for a holiday and come here for the lunch special. read more

My favorite Thai restaurant in the city. I order from them all the time and the food is always so good. Highly recommend. Also, if they are unable to accommodate a dish they input substitutions which is greatly appreciated. Have never had a bad meal from here, highly recommend! read more

We just enjoyed an amazing take out dinner. The spicy catfish was great and the shrimp curry was so yummy over the terrific rice. It's been a long time since We've given Siam Pasta a try! We will definitely try it again! Happy to have such great Thai food in the neighborhood! read more

Best tofu pad Thai. You can get chicken or shrimp but I believe tofu pad Thai is the best in the city The other standout is the fried stuffed chicken wing app. Really delicious and a must try read more

This is my Thai place to go to when I crave it. There's probably others amazing Thai places. U know that. But I like this one. I e been coming for the last 30 years. Yes. You heard that is correct. Talk about being a good patron. Any way. I do recommend Siam Pasta not because i have a relationship with them but they have great costumer service, great prices. And they deliver. read more

I've been ordering from Siam Pasta the last few times I've ordered Thai takeout and I've been really happy. I can order a whole bunch of food at a reasonable price and it is always delivered as promised, within an hour (when they are busy). I think I've actually received it in 30-45 min when they are not so busy. Great food / great price / great service. I'm a pleased customer. read more

I always pass this place and decide to try their food. I ordered over the phone for pick up. They have lunch specials. I had the best pad thai ever! Whenever u order specials, it comes with a taster of your choice: eggroll, potstickers, cucumber salad, fried tofu, crab rangoon or khanom jeep. The place is old but the decor is authentic Thai. I will definitely go back! Best PAD THAI in chicago read more

The delivery guy is funny. He always says something incisive, witty, and unexpected. That's about all I have to say. Reviewing the texture of a pot sticker is a little bit beneath me. read more

Siam Pasta has been around about 10 years or so. Before it, there was a little dive-y dinner called the Coffee Pot w/a really friend, lil old woman serving bad eggs and excellent java. Wonder whatever happened to her. . . ? Henny way, Siam Pasta opened at half it's current size and used to serve twice the amount of food per entre. Additionally, the quality of the chicken used to be a bit better and they used to use a higher end type of mushroom in the fabulous Tom Yum soup. All that said, the food continues to be wonderful. The crazy noodles, pepper steak, crab rangoon and thai custard (sometime like flan, but so much better) are wonderful. One can easily eat for $10-$15 dollars a piece. The service has always been good. Fast, relatively friendly, etc. Another excellent point - they really know how to package the food for delivery. Always sent with good napkins and little pieces of cardboard separating the foods. Very fine work. A tip when dining in, upon leaving, ask for a coveted 'to go' menu. There's a cut out coupon on the back you can use the next time you go in for 1/2 off a 2nd entre. I ask every time -- I find the cashier's level of irritation most amusing. Does that make me a bad person? read more

I've ordered from here a handful of times over the years, and I have to say the quality has gone down. Ordered delivery on a Monday at 1:45. Order was late and only lukewarm. Crab rangoon was meh, pretty flavorless. Shrimp dumplings came with a garlic soy sauce that had about 3 tablespoons of sugar in it-way too sweet for me. Pad thai was ok. I asked for extra lime wedges and got 2 wedges. While technically they did give me extra, usually at other restaurants I receive 3 or 4 without having to ask for a specific amount. Had to get my concentrated lime juice from out of the fridge and use that instead (not as good, but works in a pinch). Granted, I've only have take out and delivery from here, but there are better places. Spend your money at Cozy Noodle, Indie, or Hello instead. Faster delivery and higher quality for a similar price. read more

We sampled a lot so I'll tell you about each. Tasters: 1 ) Crab Langoon - WOW! Delicious! Fluffy with actual crab flavor. 2 ) Tod Mun (Fish Cakes) - Texture wasn't fabulous but the flavor was. Served with cucumber and a spicy sauce which kicked it up perfectly. Soup: 1 ) Tom Yum - Nice, light, a few shrimp, and tons of mushrooms. Curry Bowl: 1 ) Mussaman - curry with potatoes, coconut milk, peanuts and chicken. DISGUSTING. Had a chemical taste to it. Potatoes were crunchy which the cook said was cooked right. BLECH! Specialties: 1 ) Spicy Catfish - FANTASTIC! Tons of green beans, eggplant, basil leaves with catfish that has a sauce similar to sweet'n'sour on it. We took a groupon and felt the waitress was a little rude with us because of it. Even when my friend sent back the Mussaman because of the potatoes and flavor she told us that it WAS good flavor.... maybe to your palate... It was kind of weird. Perhaps a cultural difference? Anyhow, I'll definitely be going back. Food was fantastic and prices very reasonable. read more

I have purchased carry out twice here, and for the most part food is good. Normally I stick to standard dishes, and they do just fine with those. I recently tried the chive pancake, and it was not good at all. It tasted like ashtray. The soup that came with the entree was also lackluster. I was expecting perhaps a hot and sour soup or the like, but it was pretty much chicken broth. They offer a lunch special menu. You can place your carry out or delivery order online at their website. So far this has worked well. read more

I was only here once and quite disappointed with their selection and the cleanliness of this place. It was in maybe 2001 when we opted for here but shoulda stuck with my suggestion of Thai Peppers on Howard instead. (Too bad Thai Peppers closed.) read more

This place kind of looks like a pit... but it's a secret pit of wonder and deliciousness! They're always really friendly and the food is always really fantastic. This is the best affordable Thai food I've found in Chicago, and I've eaten a lot of affordable Thai food. Everytime I go, I order a different thing and I haven't been disappointed yet. Sometimes I use a Groupon, and the process is always smooth. read more

Ah, so sad. At the end of our recent meal, a cockroach ran up the wall behind our table toward the ceiling and then stopped, seemingly observing us with head cocked and antennae waving. When I told the owner/manager about it, he just said with a sigh something about having to get the exterminator in. We all know there are cockroaches in restaurants in Chicago and pretty much every other restaurant in every other city in the world. Most of the time they are invisible to we patrons. It is important they are invisible. Also, some time ago Siam Pasta stopped serving alcohol. For us, a Siam Pasta meal without cold Singha beer and so-so red wine pretty much invalidates the experience. We likely will not again visit Siam Pasta on Western Avenue. We had become extremely infrequent guests anyway. Sad. So sad. ~Peter O. read more

Great Ameri-Thai. I love the lime chicken, which is battered friend chicken tossed with a tangy lime sauce. The curries are almost all meat and don't have very complex flavor, but they are satisfying nonetheless. I wish there were more vegetables, but most Thai places have the opposite problem. Very affordable for the quality of food too. The service is fantastic and the rooftop patio with lanterns is a wonderful place to dine in nice weather. read more
