Great service, spacious dining area, and very good, tasty food. I haven't had Thai food in years, but I wanted to check out some dinner options near the cherry blossoms at Jackson Park today. There are actually a few Thai restaurants on the same street. So I just chose this one to check out. Great choice! I biked all the way to the cherry blossoms and was walking around, building up an appetite. The variety of dinner specials was great, and I enjoyed the chili beef special. I asked for the main dish to be a bit spicier, and it was still very good. It wasn't overly spicy, so the main dish was enjoyable. The soup of the day was so flavorful. It was the first thing I ate and was very satisfying. It had a great sweet flavor, yet perhaps with some lime juice to give it a good sour complement. The cucumber salad side dish was also tasty and went well with the soup. Overall, I definitely recommend eating here. read more

I'm from nyc, where we have plenty of amazingg Thai spots, so I'm a harsh critic when it comes to Thai food. For the neighborhood, the food was decent! The owner catered to me both days and he was very nice. I came here 2 nights in a row and did takeout on both occasions. What I got: - Tofu Pad Thai Dinner Special ($17.95): Pad Thai was a 3.5/5 in terms of taste, but overall was a great value! Love the additions of an egg roll, soup, and cucumber salad - which was more like pickled cucumbers. Overall meal was filling! - Tofu Pad Siew ($12.25): 4/5 - I really enjoyed this! It was garlicky and had good flavor. Only downside was that the broccoli was a different variety (American) vs the traditional variation (like Chinese broccoli), but overall flavor was still good. I was served water and was able to use the restroom while I waited for my food. Staff ensures that utensils, sauce, etc are provided for the order. You can also request fortune cookies, which tbh is a bit odd for a Thai spot lol so I honestly think this spot is more Thai-Chinese fusion. I can def see a lot of influence in the cooking. While a place like this doesn't live up to nyc standards, it's a great and friendly Hyde Park neighborhood spot! read more

Tried a few items. Think the chive cake and the roti are pretty good. The duck (boneless) red curry and the ribeye pad kee mao were the best entrees we had. Others were so so. The green curry kinda bland. The red curry had lychee it was pretty interesting. My fav was the pad kee mao. The kana moo krob pork belly was almost all fat soaked in soy sauce so we had a lot of pork belly leftover and just ate the veggies...service wise it wasn't as good. It was super crowded when we went and it seems like the waitress was kinda rushing us and wasn't having it. And when she asked us if we wanted to look into desserts and my friend was answering and she already turned around and walked away before my friend finished talking too. We were a table of 5 and sat down 6:15 and packed everything and left 7:30 so not sure how fast they expect us to finish food cause I think it was a decent length of time for a dinner...not like it's a fast food restaurant. Probably won't return. read more

No-frills Thai spot with solid pad kee mao. I usually do carryout here but dined in for Sunday lunch recently, and it was great. Friendly, fast service. read more

The food was just not up to the mark - felt a little amateurish. It didnt taste bad but definitely did not feel authentic. The curries didnt come together in flavour, the tom kha soup was too sour, the pad see ew was too dry. The only win was that the dinner combo was generous. read more

My go to for local Thai, crab Rangoon one of the best I've had. Not anything fancy but the food is better than any in the area. I come here often and I love spicy Thai food read more

I stopped in today for lunch. Waited quite a while to be seated even though the place was not busy. I ordered the money bag dumplings which were burnt. I'm always suspicious when food comes out too quickly as my meal did. I peeled off the overly crisp dumpling and ate the filling with the sauce provided. The dumpling would have tasted better steamed. The Pad Thai Shrimp came out within five minutes of me ordering. After finishing the dumplings, I was already getting full. So I only ate one shrimp and a bit of the noodles before boxing up the rest to go. The shrimp was a bit tough and the noodles were overcooked. When I tried reheating for dinner a while later, the noodles turned to mush - as did some of the shrimp. The shrimp for sure were spoiled. This is really annoying since the meal with lemonade and tip totaled $50! I absolutely will not be returning. But Siam should absolutely do a better job servicing their customers. read more

Hyde Park's best Thai food, bar none (and it has at least three competitors, two of which are next door!). Consistent flavor, fast service, and a relaxed ambiance that makes it the perfect spot for low stakes get-togethers, impromptu dinners, and takeout on any day but Tuesday. I live by the khao soi and the chicken pad thai, and the dinner special is impossible to beat. read more

I love the food and when ordering online and picking up they always have it ready when they quoted the time. The food is fresh and really brings me back to when I traveled to Thailand a year ago. Yummmmm! I definitely recommend this place. read more

I am so glad we came across Siam - we were in the neighborhood for lunch and got a couple of lunch specials. The soup was clear broth vegetable soup that had a surprising amount of flavor. The eggroll could have had more flavor but it was not greasy and the sauce, sweet and sour I imagine, was great. I'm picky about eggrolls and this one was good. If you got it to go or delivery and ate it way after it was cooked, I imagine it wouldn't be nearly as good. My girl got basil chicken and I got green curry. The basil chicken was incredibly good and the green curry was pretty tasty as well. I've eaten Thai food dozens of times and this was some of the better Thai food I've had, and the spice level was just right. A little hot but entirely doable, I'd say between mild and medium, 2 out of 5 maybe. That being said, it's always better if they ask. The price was so reasonable. Full lunch special for $12. Oh, and the Thai coffee was so good (if you like very sweet and rich Thai coffee), it was like a coffee flavored dessert drink. Service was pretty bare bones, certainly no snappy conversation, but nice. Ambiance was very casual, paper table cloths, etc. I got some pictures... read more

It's wild to see that this place is rated a 3.5 on here!! I tell you this is one of the BEST Thai places I've ever been to!! The food is so mouthwatering good!! I've ordered takeout from them several times and they never disappoint! Just when I think they can't take it up a notch, they put two elbows in and do their magic!! read more

Google Review - Siam Thai 1/5 stars Ordered food, never received it. Complete waste of time. Placed my order and waited. When I asked about the delay, staff kept saying "we're working on it" with no real timeline. Eventually had to leave without getting my food. Basic service failure - if you can't deliver what customers order, you shouldn't be in business. Poor communication, no accountability. Save your time and money. Go elsewhere.

Pretty solid phad see ew. It was very tasty and flavorful. 5/5 The catfish curry was not done like one of the yelpers who review it (deep fried catch fish) but instead it was deep fried no breading which was disappointing. Other than that it was really salty. read more

Plain simple neighborhood Place. I have the basil chicken lunch special, which comes with one eggroll and a cup of soup. Nice and filling without being too much. Good flavor it's a good balance between the basil and the chili. read more

I have an addiction to the roasted duck. I will not be seeking treatment. If my kid had a choice between my cooking and the Kung Pao Chicken? I couldn't even be mad. Great, affordable, and fast -- whether you're dining in or taking out. read more

This is my favorite neighborhood spot. I order the king pao chicken and egg roll. Good Hyde Park spot.

I was in the Hyde Park Area in Chicago and my dad and I were going to get a deli sandwich and we happened upon this delightful place. I grew up going to restaurants in this area. We were immediately greeted by a member of the waitstaff who promptly seated us. We decided to split a plate, and to add a couple of things and the servings were generous. It was enough for my dad to take a little snack home for tomorrow. We ordered the dinner special and we had chicken fried rice, soup, an egg roll, and a cucumber salad. We also ordered spring roll and everything was delicious and fresh. There was a generous amount of chicken breast, and vegetables. The staff was so friendly and they were very accommodating. The soup was so delicious we ordered some for my dad to take home. read more

Best Thai food in Hyde Park. Nothing fancy but your taste buds will thank you. Love the shrimp egg rolls wrapped in basil leaf and the curried dishes are YUM-mazing! read more

I love this place! Best Pad woon sen imho, and I love their Thai iced tea! They've been here since long before my husband and I moved to Hyde Park in 2006, and it's the same owner and waiter, and I think the same cook and dishwasher, too! It's such a cozy, homey atmosphere, too. Just about to go again tonight, and thought I'd leave a review! read more

So I have to say -- I know that the overall star rating is not high but let me tell you, this place is delicious. So my girlfriend and I were walking through the neighborhood to get Thai food. The original place wasn't doing dine in and we passed Siam on the way so we circled back. Siam is doing Thai dishes I personally feel I am not seeing on the average menu. Their version of the spring roll is absolutely tasty. We got the Tom Kai soup which wasn't like we'd ever had before and it was actually better than others but I recognize it was a different version. I am huge fan of Massiman curry and theirs was fire!! I did the beef and it was very tender and just overall had me doing my happy food dance. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!! read more

The food was delicious, affordable and plentiful. We will definitely be eating from Siam Thai Cuisine again and again!

I order from here every time I come to Hyde Park. Great food-friendly service . Pad Thai and potstickers were wonderful. read more

Food was not bad..ambiance is ok..I would recommend if craving thai food in the area.

My colleague and I ordered our lunch from here today. I had the Pad Khee Mao with tofu and she had the same, but with seafood. It was delicious and it also had the right amount of spice added to it. My colleague said the same. We do like a bit more spice, but we'll request for extra spicy when we order from here next time. read more

I ordered a crab fried rice, that did not taste well. I threw it away. The chicken Satay was dry. I waited for my order and it was dropped off at the wrong place. I had to call the driver several times to get food that they left at the WRONG address read more

We biked from Millennium Park to the Museum of Science and Industry and were so hungry when we got there. I looked up the places around the museum and decided on this place to eat in the restaurant. The staff were quiet but attentive. The restaurant is not tidy nor particularly clean looking, but the FOOD! OMG! So, so good. Had the pork &cashew chicken as well as the Pad Woon Sen. Would order for takeout next time I'm in Chicago! read more

Tasty food, server barely talked to us but in a good way. I like that they have a gumball machine in there. Got the bangkok chicken and it was nice, marked as spicy but as a white boy it was fine. Sauce was very sweet which kind of through me off towards the end but that's my fault for trying to eat it with just rice. read more

The food is always good yet better when dining in. I like the atmosphere of getting appetizers, cucumber salad with my food and a Thai tea. The service is direct and consistent. I like it. It's definitely Southside fav! read more

Wowie, truly the best thai food around. Great service, great vibes, great people, great food. My favorite is the roast duck curry but you can't go wrong! read more

This review is my personal redemption from The previous episode of "Pad Thai From Hell" that I experienced in Ohio. I had to fulfill my desire for some quality Chicken Pad Thai, and this spot always delivers! The service is efficient, the food is always prepared well, and the food is a good deal for lunch/dinner options. The chicken was quality, the noodles were just right, and the vegetables were on point. If you have a peanut allergy or don't like peanuts, you have to express that upon ordering, because the Pad Thai is loaded with em'; not a big deal for me, but just saying. Excellent stuff. Recommend!! read more

i love them! went somewhere else when they were closed and regretted it. my favorite is the Tom Kha soup

Decent Thai food at a good price, but overall not my favorite Thai place in Hyde Park. Got it delivered in Hyde Park, so I can't speak to how the restaurant is operating/what their COVID policy is, but delivery was very quick and easy, so props for that. Tofu pad thai (and more recently, tofu pad see ew) are my go-to thai food orders, and I use them as a benchmark for comparison. I have to say that the pad thai from Siam Thai was a little underwhelming. Usually, from pad that I expect a sweet, slightly tangy undertone to the flavor, but I didn't get that from the pad thai here, and I think there are better alternatives at some of the other Thai restaurants nearby. The pad see ew was decent, but I felt like the tofu lacked flavor. Overall, a good meal that satisfied my craving for Thai, but I would probably order the same dishes from another restaurant next time. read more

This is the best Thai food I've had in Chicago (so far). I order Tom Yum whenever I try a new place just to gauge what I'm in for, and I was not prepared for the flavors that exploded in my mouth. The rest of the meal (minus the soup that comes with the lunch special) was just as satisfying. We had green curry, pad gratiem prik Thai (I think it was called garlic chicken), and spring rolls after the Tom yum. read more

Lousy customer service! Placed an order over the phone (which itself was frustrating to begin with because person who answered phone was simultaneously taking multiple orders from other folks and not actively listening at taking down order). Was told food would be ready in 30 minutes. I arrived 40 minutes later to pick up food. Upon arrival, was told food would be out soon. Afterwards, the front counter was left unattended. Many patrons subsequently arrived to pick up orders, and none were being acknowledged. Some patrons who were dining in got tired of waiting for their checks, so they just got up and left without paying, and staff didn't notice at all! Other patrons lost their patience and left as well. I did too after waiting inside for another 40 minutes. It was infuriating wasting my time without being updated of delays; not a good look to leave customers in the dark. I took my patronage to another Thai establishment in the area; no need to put up with a such utterly unorganized management that lacks basic customer service. read more
