Our crab Rangoon were frozen in the middle. We took them back and they gave them to us burned. The pad Thai was decent but it feels much more like a fast food take out place than a good spot to dine. read more

Great food and good environment for lunch. They serve wine and bottle beer. Appetizers are a must. read more

Siam Pepper - Great dessert! So far - Thai Near Me - Harvard, Massachusetts

What a Jem! A hidden little place off of rte 2 in a section of Harvard I never drive through. Came here with another friend. We ordered a Bunch of apps and a few entrees to split and it was more than enough! Small cute little spot. Only a few tables to sit at (maybe 10 Max) Carries a small selection of beer and wine only. We started with the fresh rolls - can't go wrong with these. So fresh. So delicious. I got mine with chicken and of course the peanut dipping sauce was Amazing! I could eat a million of these. Crab Rangoon - tiny pockets of gifts of crab. Much smaller than the usual overly stuffed rangoons with just cream cheese. These are perfect pockets of goodness. Pork rolls- yum! Packed with flavor and a great dipping sauce. Not your standard duck sauce. Entrees Of course pad Thai with Chicken. So fresh. So good. The noodles are so soft. Perfect amounts of egg and chicken and veggie with a great peanut sauce. Duck KaPOW!!!!! I don't like duck. But I will get this next time I go!!!!! Not greasy and fatty. So much flavor. So much crisp on the skin. Oh. My. Get it! Yellow curry pork. Hubby and friend ate it all before I could taste. Need I say more! Seafood spicy medley. Smelled delish. Tasted a bite. Too hot for me. The boyz wanted it hot hot hot. Note- you can choose your spice heat grade. Stop here on your next adventure to Harvard. A hidden little Jem and the price is right! Eat like kings and queens and go home with a Togo box too. read more

See all

The food here is soo good, at least what we had. Went here for lunch and ordered chicken satay and crab rangoon for appetizers, and pad thai noodles with massaman curry for the main dish. Everything was delicious. They chicken satay is served with a peanut sauce which is really good. Crab rangoon was smaller than what I'm used to seeing but they looked very pretty and tasted amazing. They were wrapped by someone who clearly knows what they're doing. So many good veggies in the curry. The pad thai itself seemed to be doused in some sauce. That made it taste even better. Got Shrimp Pad Thai and they seemed to have used super jumbo shrimp. All in all great place to eat. Definitely try it out. Portion sizes are pretty good too. Two of us split all the food listed above and it still seemed a good amount. Our server was nice, I think. Looked like she got a little impatient with our questions but answered all of them nevertheless. And the food was just as we wanted it. So no complaints. Will surely come back here. read more

This place is offering contact free pick up during COVID and it's a great bang for your buck. Superb food at a reasonable price. Would recommend. read more

Truly great Thai food! Some of the best I've had in the greater Boston area. Excellent, authentic flavor and wonderfully attentive staff. Great for take-out or dine in! read more

Their eat in food in pretty good. The food to go is okay. The food is tasty. I don't have a favorite. There is nothing on the menu I tried I found gross, but there's also nothing that I absolutely crave more of. read more

We ordered the following Chicken fresh rolls Massaman pork curry Coconut soup Drunken noodle with shrimp Pineapple fried rice with chicken. It was all very delicious. I am impressed to find a Thai place in a small town. Our order was ready in 25 minutes. We paid about what you would pay any where else we have been for Thai food. We enjoyed every bite. read more

I wish I could give this place more stars. A friend and I had been having a terrible day (waited for the train to Boston for 2 hours and gave up) and finding this gem made the day so much better. I cannot thank the store manager enough. We were having trouble finding a ride back to the hotel. We tried uber, lift, and the hotel shuttle but no luck for an hour. We were about to walk back until the manager offered us a ride. We were so thankful beyond words and she was so amazing about it. We tried to offer gas money but she wouldn't take it. The five stars is not only for the ride, but the service and food were great too. The sauce for the scallion pancakes was delish. The coconut soup was also flavorful. For my entree, I tried the pad thai and that was also great. I would say the portions are big for the price. This place is vegetarian friendly. Don't hesitate to ask about the vegetarian options. The service was amazing. They were low on staff so the manager's husband was working behind the counter. He was very funny and hospitable. He even personally showed me the way to the restroom because it was located outside the restaurant in a hallway. They also pack your leftovers for you. Definitely visit this restaurant if you are in town and try their Thai tea. Thank you again to the manager and her husband. read more

Great food. Drunken noodles were great, coconut curry was nice and spicy! It is cute inside, small and cozy. Slower service but we were in no rush! read more

We just moved to the area and found found this place. It is some of the best Thai food we have ever had.

Came here with a friend today. We heard that it was owned by previous owners to thai chili in Maynard. So I have been excited to come here. We arrived when it opened at 1130, we ordered the lunch special with soup, appetizer and entree. Soup was not ginger soup, but was ok. Little apps were tasty, but it was the worst pad Thai ever! Was so disappointed that I barely ate it, and it was just blah! Will not be back! I'll stick to my favorite place Thai Chili in Maynard. They do thai right! read more

I work in the area and the food here is great. I haven't experienced anything bad. They always give complimentary deserts with my takeouts once in a while. I like the pad-see-ew *extra extra spicy* S.O.S soup and Tom Yum soup is also good. read more

This place is great! The food is fresh and flavorful! I've eaten there 5 times this month alone! Drunken noodles are a perfect combination of spicy and sweet. Red curry with chicken so fresh and delicately floral! plus they serve beer and wine! It is the only good real restaurant I've found in Harvard. We love the staff super sweet, friendly, and attentive. Super clean! Super Fast! read more

I went over my friend's house for a girls night in and she had ordered take out from Siam pepper. At first I was a bit weary and didn't think it would be authentic thai food. I was wrong, the food was fresh and the flavor was on point. They provided a generous amount of tofu in the tofu fishes. My favorite was the chicken curry and the phad see you. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Siam Pepper - phad thai (shrimp and tofu), assorted apps, chicken curry, pineapple fried rice, basil beef, phad see you - Thai Near Me - Harvard, Massachusetts

Yes! Before rating I tried Siam Pepper three times and have been very happy each time. Great location for those who have to travel out of Harvard to get a meal (aside from DD, general store or random raw egg stand on the side of the road) and perfect location for Ayer folks looking for actual Thai food with fish sauce and spice. I'd say it's as authentic as its get, the dishes are spiced right, nice lime, lemongrass, fish sauce and chili pepper in everything I've had so far. The Tom Yum doesn't taste overly sugared like so many do, I've had it two times now. Chicken salad (Larb) was very nice, spiced right and easy to eat with chop sticks. The green curry was PERFECT.. I mean I'm about to drink the remaining sauce perfect. Fresh rolls would rival those I've had in Boston or Lowell. I'd suggest checking it out, a new local place that has a ton of good food to offer, fresh dishes delivered to the table if you're sitting in, or great takeaway if you're looking for dinner or lunch on the go. Take care! read more

Love Thai and always looking to try different places. I was in town and decided to give it a try. Ordered the Pad Thai dish and it was delicious. If in town again, this will be my go to. read more

What a wonderful little gem in Harvard MA. Great Thai food better than Boston and Brookline area. Top notch ingredients and a wonderful family that own and work at the restaurant. I highly recommend it. As always food was unbelievable, you just have to try this wonderful place. read more

Siam Pepper - Chicken Krapow with egg !! Super good with the white rice on the side - Thai Near Me - Harvard, Massachusetts

Worth the trip from Boston. So good. A chicken nugget? No sir that's not ..Mmmmmm I retract that complaint. This nugget is delicate and straight from Thailand. Portions are major. Bring your appetite. !! read more

Just returned from a wonderful meal at Siam Pepper. In a word, excellent! I brought my 13-year-old daughter and wife. My daughter had chicken noodle soup, I had drunken noodle and chicken Satay, and my wife had mango chicken curry we all loved it brought home the leftovers and plan to gorge on it later. The peanut sauce was so good I could of eaten just that. Big portions, especially curry and soup. None of us could finish our meals! The restaurant was clean neat quiet and not very crowded. A lot of people came in while we dined, to pick up take-out meals. We were also given complimentary soups that was likely a variation of S.O.S. Soup. My daughter and I loved it, wife is allergic to cilantro so I got to eat hers! Bonus! I am sure we will go there again, and also get a lot of take out! We highly recommend Siam Pepper! read more

Called in takeout and was told my order would be ready in 25 minutes...having prior experience with long wait times recently at Siam Pepper I showed up thirty minutes after placing my order and still waited another twenty. Ok, with one person working the front of the house who was also helping in the kitchen they're clearly understaffed, so no points off for slow service. The two stars is for the poor quality of the food...which used to be excellent. I ordered 4 items. The chicken krapow was cold, the scallion pancakes dried out and burnt and the rice also completely dried out and inedible. The spring rolls were dried out & crusty too but with enough duck sauce they were edIble. The dining room is closed & it seems with the pivot to take-out only the focus has shifted at Siam Pepper from quality to quantity (several grub hub and door dash orders picked up while I was waiting) which might work out best for them but as for me I'm not returning anytime soon. read more

Siam Pepper - Dried rice - Thai Near Me - Harvard, Massachusetts

I absolutely adore their masaman curry. Everything we tried was delicious. I've been to Thailand, and the food here was quite authentic. The restaurant is a bit small, but we were there pretty late so we had no problem being seated. If it's a peak time, I would think there might be a wait. I recommend their curry dishes, each one we tried was very good. The pad Thai was also nice, I'm told, although I didn't try it. read more

Price point is very bad! Ordered take out and got tiny amount of food for 30 bucks! The Thai tea while tasty is a rip off litterally less than 8 oz!! Will not be going back! Service was awful. Basically told us to leave while we waited for our take out. Edit: Was contacted by the establishment and instead of trying to fix the issue or offer an apology or some insight on my option in a positive way they told me I had no right to complain and that the cup was the standard size. This is the first time I have ever had an establishment contact me just to tell me that I am wrong or to berate me for my complaint! read more

Went to this place for dinner with colleagues. I ordered the soup and the drunken noodles. The place was ok. The service wasn't terribly friendly, but I understand the language barrier. Nothing fancy, just run of the mill thai food. read more

I give this review in comparison to other Thai restaurants I've been to- probably 10 in my life? The tofu and vegetable pad Thai was delicious, and had enough for lunch the next day. My husband got Thai basil curry with tofu and liked it. We also got a coconut soup that was delicious. Thai iced tea was good. The decor is cute Hough, very casual. The posters of Thai fruit carving were really 90's and cheesy. The service could have been much better, though. They were sweeping the restaurant and counting receipts while we were there (8:30?), and we eventually had to go up front to get change and ask for a to go box. read more

Wonderful food! My husband and I have been ordering food here since we moved to Harvard 4 years ago. Their food is always delicious and fresh. It's a must try! read more

This is one of Harvard's best kept secrets. The food is excellent, service is quick, and the place is never crowded. It must do a huge lunch and takeout business, because we've never had a problem walking in and sitting right down at dinner time. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but sadly that was not the case. I ordered the seafood pad tai, what I got was very sweet tasting noodles, overlooked scallops and off tasting mussels. I don't think I'll be going there again. Update: The owner contacted me and they actually refunded me my money for the seafood pad Thai. So clearly they have great customer service. read more

Meh. It's close to us and convenient, but the food is just so-so. We go there because they're a local business and sometimes we get a wooly for thai. The spicy beef with noodles are really good, as well as the service. Really nice folks. read more

Got take out here a few days ago. Red curry with shrimp was nice and flavorful. It has a good amount of shrimp and vegetables. Unfortunately, that is the last of the good. The drunken noodles were nothing special- too sweet, no spice, and not very traditional tasting (relative to other places). The basil chicken had a good sauce, but the chicken in the dish did not compliment or absorb the sauce very well. It felt like dry chicken placed in a dish that could have been much better. Hoping the new spot is getting the kinks out- it's just quite hard since there are surprisingly a lot of quality Thai places in the area. read more

We tried takeout from Siam Pepper for the first time last night, and we were pretty impressed. The chicken Lomein and chicken ginger dishes that we ordered had a good balance of chicken and fresh vegetables. My daughter ordered the chicken S.O.S. soup, scallion pancakes, and pork dumplings (fried), and she really enjoyed each one. What we liked most was that all of the food was not the same ol' cookie cutter dishes that you can get at any one of the many Chinese/Thai places in the area. Our food last night was flavorful, not greasy, and light and fresh tasting, The vegetables in each dish were not wilted and mushy like other places. We are looking forward to trying other items on the menu, and hope that our next experience is as good as the first. read more

Fast, friendly service. Thai rolls with sweet chili sauce are a great app. Pad Thai is always delicious and consistent. I have only ordered take out from here. The dining room seems inviting, though typically pretty empty. read more

My first time ordering at this place and it was alright, a bit greasy. While eating I stumbled a rusted hook/nail thing in my food. Please see picture. I recommend pay attention to the food u order before taking a bite. read more

Siam Pepper - Look before u eat. Found this in my drunken noodle. First time & will be my last time here. - Thai Near Me - Harvard, Massachusetts

The pad see ew was great! Everyone I can with loved what they got. We were very impressed. Small place but great food!

I come here usually for take out when I don't want to cook. The Green Curry is my favorite and takes me back to my visit to Thailand. The staff is really nice and the food is almost always ready before they said it would be. read more

My husband and I went with friends after visiting Fruitlands in Harvard. We were all pleased with the very good food, and the staff was attentive to our needs. It is in a cute little space and kind of fun and funky which we love. The next time we visit Fruitlands we will definitely dine at Siam Pepper! read more

Go for the spicy noodles lunch menu is pretty decent can't pass the tea here nice tall glass and great price. Wish plates were more for how good it is read more

The food was amazing . And if you are a vegetarian , the mango fried rice is really good and not to be missed . The owner was super sweet . He kept talking to us and checking on us throughout dinner . Since we were on a business trip in the area and couldn't find a ride back to our hotel , he had his wife drop us back as well . Lovely food and lovely people . Definitely visit if you are in the area . read more

Wanted to give 5 stars. However, one fundamental (but easy to fix) issue exists. The food is a top notch and very good. However, the food is a bit on the pricey side. This is still fine. The issue is, they charge additional fee for rice (like $2, $3). But the size of the rice (despite additional charge) is way way unacceptably small... especially for Westerners... it's basically a cup. Please change your small rice cup to a bigger rice bowl . read more
