I was searching for a mango sticky rice as good as the ones I had in Thailand and this spot measures up. Their filet mignon fried rice is enough to feed two or have leftovers. I order it at least once a month. As always, you must order a Thai tea. The venue is very instagrammable and perfect for celebrating special occasions. I celebrated finishing my chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer here. The food was delicious. My dad who is a picky eater even ate outside of his comfort zone. Like on the comment card we shared in the restaurant, I'd suggest putting a bar at the bottom of the bathroom door so you can open it with your foot instead of your hands. As someone who has to avoid germs, that would be helpful. My sister also said that the pineapple rice would be better with pineapple chunks in it. So far the rice is just brought out in half a pineapple. It's an appealing presentation but the taste could be improved. Street parking is tough in this area but you can go up or down a few blocks and find a spot. read more

Ambiance - super cute interior (love the small details), small bar area, great for dates and small groups; reserve more time to look for parking (street parking is limited) Service - definitely recommend making a reservation as it gets busy during dinner time, service was exceptional (servers came to check on us often, food came out quickly, cleared our empty dishes) Food - Tomahawk short rib massaman curry was really good but small portion for price point at $40 Zabb wings were crispy & had a kick to it Khao Soi - noodles were chewier to my liking Red duck curry - duck was moist & loved that they added lychee to it (added a slight sweetness to the dish) Money bag dumplings - reminded me of fried wontons Mango Sticky Rice - wish the mangoes were more ripe/sweeter read more

Five stars alone for the Siam Platter. Excellent price for the number of appetizers you get to try. Every single appetizer is amazing in flavor. Money bag dumplings have this shatteringly crispy wonton wrapper with juicy meat filling inside. Chicken satay is grilled perfectly and even better with their sweet peanut sauce. Chive cakes have a fried exterior but a really soft and chewy interior. $20 is a steal for how much you get here. This was all I got and this alone was enough for a meal for 2 people. read more

What a beautiful space! I was truly blown away when we walked in. I can tell they really put in so much thought and intention with the design and implementation. Love seeing this place in South Loop! It's week 2 of them being open, I hope this place sticks around for a long long time. My husband and I went in for lunch today. We ordered the crispy duck red curry and chicken pad see ew. The curry was so flavorful, delicious, and just the right amount of spice. The pad see ew had such umami-- it's incredible. This was probably some of the best Thai food I've had in a while. Their menu is large! So much to choose from. And they have spirits and wine "coming soon". The staff is super nice. And the service was quite quick! Thankfully there was a lot of people there for lunch, so at times it seemed the staff was occupied with other tasks. Only feedback I'd give is that their dining plates are so small!! If you're ordering more than 1 shared dish-- the plate needs to be bigger. Prices are in the higher end for most items but the ambiance, flavor and servings are great!! Can't wait to go back! read more

We came here for their soft opening and were so impressed! A VERY welcome new addition to South Loop! - Chicken Satay: so tender and juicy with a flavorful dipping sauce and yummy (rice?) puffs on the side - Seafood Tom Yum: extremely flavorful with a good amount of seafood, wish it had just a little more of a kick - Pad See Ew (tofu): the sauce is soaked into the noodles and tofu, veggies are well-cooked - Khao Soi: Tender chicken, pickled veggies added a nice crunch - Thai Tea Cheesecake: A MUST-GET! Not too sweet, the ice cream is so creamy and pairs perfectly - Fresh Young Coconut: refreshing The service was quick and loved the decor. Didn't feel too crowded despite a small space. We can't wait to try more of the menu! read more

Since seeing reels of Siam Thai Eatery on social media, I put it at the top of my list of restaurants to try! I called in this morning (Monday) to make reservations just in case. The reservation was for 6p and the restaurant wasn't even half full, but by 7:30p, every table was taken. Ordered a Thai tea as my drink, but it was a little too sweet for my taste. For starters, I ordered the spicy pomelo crab salad and the pork jowl. The spicy pomelo crab salad was excellent! Very spicy with lots of Thai chilis. My only complaint is that this appetizer was so small! The pork jowl was grilled perfectly. There was a smoky smell and taste that I really enjoyed and the sauce was so tasty, perfect combination of tart, sweet, umami and fish sauce-y. For entrees, I ordered the crispy duck curry and the kana moo krob (crispy pork belly with Chinese broccoli). The crispy duck curry was very flavorful, seasoned perfectly. I also love that there were pineapple chunks and lychee in it! The kana moo krob was my least favorite dish from the meal. When this dish is offered at any restaurant, I ALWAYS order it. It's hands down my favorite Thai dish. So to my surprise, I didn't really like it here. It was too sweet and too salty. Usually the sauce is lighter which is what I'm used to and what I like. Unfortunately this is a dish I will skip next time. I do plan on returning to try all the noodle dishes and more appetizers! Overall, a great addition for Chicago/ South Loop! read more

We hit this spot after a quick change of plans and a desire for some good Thai food. This was a spot that we hadn't visited, but figured we'd give it a try on a Friday night. We had no reservation and arrived about 630. Luckily we got a table without waiting, but I did ask and was told a reservation is always safer. we tried a bunch of different dishes and they were also tasty. Not "amazing" but very very good. The portion sizes were "solid" and we left without any leftovers (we usually have some when we go out) The Siam platter was pretty good. I'm not a fan of chicken thighs, so the skewers weren't my favorite. The money bag dumplings were easily my favorite and I'd just order these. The chive pancake was gooey/ sticky and not great. The fried roti was good. the dipping sauces (4) were tasty... The red curry was subtle but good. We did it with tofu (not on menu). The portion was good. it could have used a bit more sauce. As it was a little dry. the pad see ew was a reco from our server. we would have done the rice or pad Thai. It was good, but not nearly as flavorful as I'd hoped. I wouldn't order than next time. WE ate the mango sticky rice the next day, so it's not fair of me to share my take here. There was a lot of mango though. The papaya salad wasn't as good a lot of other ones we've had elsewhere. read more

The vibes, ambiance, and service are very good. Everything is clean and well decorated, but the food was underwhelming. Had a reservation for valentines day. We ordered ribeye pad see ew, chicken khao soi, a blood orange mocktail, and a Shirley Temple. Presentation was beautiful. The drinks were very good. The pad see ew was good but not the best I ever had. Ordering ribeye with it was misleading. I expected a full small piece of ribeye sliced, but instead we got random chunks of beef where you can't really tell if it's ribeye or not. The Khao soi was bland and lacking flavor. Tipped regardless and packed our food to go, but we threw the leftovers in the trash on the way home. Left disappointed and unsatisfied. I believe this place is overrated and doesn't compare to an authentic Thai place. When eating out I go for the flavor and not the vibes so that's why I'm giving it 2 stars. read more

Once upon a time (pre-COVID), there used to be a few good Thai spots in the Loop, but not anymore -- and we love Thai food. So when I saw this new place mentioned in Crain's earlier this year, I was excited to check it out! It's right on Michigan Ave with easy street parking. The ambiance is really nice -- soft music, cozy vibe, and easy to have a conversation without yelling over the noise. We ordered the Green Curry with Tofu, Pad Kee Mao, Pad See Eiw, and Chive Cakes. Everything was authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. Honestly, some of the best Thai food we've had in a while. Highly recommend! Service was good, not much conversation but they were very nice. read more

Ordered the money bags for an appetizer, and it was good but we got 5 for two people. We also ordered pad thatlo, and it was pretty much same as pad thai anywhere else. The only thing is the shrimp came with tails, which yoi had to pull off on your own. We also ordered the duck curry, boneless, but at least three pieces of the duck had bones or bristle. The sauce was good but the rest of the dish wasn't too special. Jack, our server, had no personality. He looked pissed off at something. I felt rushed to finish, and he was distracted when he was taking our order. It was also.unsuually warm inside. Water was served without ice, but the guy pouring our water was happy to bring cups of ice. I honestly would prefer going to Asian Outpost, a place we've gone to many times before, than here. But, I guess you have to try a place to decide. read more

What a beautiful restaurant that seems unassuming at street front, but is tasteful and an upscale vibe inside. We were greeted warmly and service throughout the meal was really excellent. Everyone was friendly and checked in on us and as they're still somewhat soft opening, asked for feedback. The food was not the typical strip mall fast food Thai. Dishes were presented beautifully and cooked well. Ingredients were elevated and each item was tasty. There were some small tweaks I'd hope for next time, but I'm also anxious to try some other items. The portions were large so even though prices are on the higher end, you could definitely share entrees. Currently no liquor license, but coming soon. We will be back! read more

First, let's talk about the food--every single dish was delicious! I honestly wanted to keep eating. It was my birthday, and we had a party of seven. We ordered family style: two salads, three appetizers, and about four to five main entrées. Did I mention it's BYOB with no corkage fee? Such a huge plus! Overall, everything was perfect, except I wish our waiter had been a little friendlier. He seemed grumpy and like he didn't want to be there, which took away from the otherwise wonderful experience. read more

Siam Thai Eatery is an absolute gem. There was not a single thing that our table didn't enjoy. The green curry was heart warming and the rice was cooked to perfect. I also thought the hibiscus lemonade was a nice refreshing drink. As soon as you enter the restaurant you are transported into a different place! I appreciate how thoughtful the seating was to maximize the space in the restaurant without feeling crowded. The staff was super friendly and helpful. If you are in the mood for Thai food you will love Siam Thai. read more

Live nearby and have been disappointed by Thai food in the area for years. I now have hope! The vibe is nice for my toddler so we got takeout. Veggie Pad Thai - 4/5. Good amount of veggies with bell peppers and green beans. Enough fish sauce to give complex flavor. Peanut powder adds nice texture. A classic done well. Pad See Ew - 4/5. One of the best versions I've had. Succulent chicken. Garlic flavor comes through. My wife got the Khao Soi with chicken and I didn't try much but she was a big fan. read more

The ambience inside is date oriented with the dim lights and greenery. The service in general seems pretty quick both times that I tried it for lunch and dinner. When it was time to pay, the waitress automatically selected 20% tips for 2 people, which took me by surprise. While not high in this day of tip inflation, I preferred make my own choice. The food is good in general with a decent selection in each category. I liked the Pad Kee Mao (spicy with a kick) and Fried Chicken, very tender. My companion said the Short Rib noodle was delicious. I thought the Pomelo crab salad was refreshing as we do not often see it, but the portion is small for sharing purposes. I'm not a fan of the Duck Curry and Coconut Shrimp as both were overcooked and too dry. The Green Curry Chicken is a safe bet, but nothing too unique. I saw someone order the whole fried fish which looks yummy and I might want to try next. During both times, they probably did not have their alcohol license yet, as that category was not available. I see the potential in this place as there are not too many Thai restaurants nearby. read more

The ambience is beautiful and relaxing - sitting in a booth feels very intimate and cozy. The music playing when I went was R&B. The food, spectacular. Definitely recommend the Siam platter to try various appetizers. The red curry is perfectly spiced and has nice surprises like lychee which provide freshness. My recommended protein for the red curry is the duck (no bone), it was so tender! read more

Despite the sweet workers and beautiful interior design of the restaurant, the food does not match up to my expectations. It did not give that authentic Thai food I was hoping for, let alone just the basics like pad thai. My friends and I had the unfortunate experience of having stomach pain afterwards as well. We ordered pad thai, khao soi, kana moo krob, duck red curry, and papaya salad. The spice level here is very mild, so don't expect much. Overall, just not a good experience for my friends and I. But I hope it's betters for others. read more

Was in town so went back again for the second time. This time without my palate partner. Was craving green curry with chicken so had to order it and it didn't disappoint. This time also ordered the Money dumplings which was fantastic. Never been a fried dumpling type of gal but this isn't just any dumpling. Made with shrimp and pork inserts and beautifully wrapped in what I can describe as a money sack in Asia. They serve it in a sweet and sour sauce served on the side to dip the crispy dumplings into. They were the perfect compliment. Now have to come back again with my partner to share this delight. May be bold and try their duck red curry next time. read more

I've ordered takeout from Siam Thai eatery twice, and I'm blown away. This is, without a doubt, the best and most authentic Thai food I've ever had in Chicago. I'm officially hooked. It's not just standard takeout; the food arrives incredibly fresh, with beautiful presentation. You can taste the quality. The flavors have that perfect, bright balance that real Thai food should have. Two dishes are absolute must-tries: The Pad See Ew with Ribeye is a brilliant upgrade to a classic, with incredibly tender steak. And the Crying Tiger Steak is just wow. The steak was cooked perfectly, but the smoky, tangy, addictive dipping sauce is unforgettable. I'm already planning my next order. Highly recommended! read more

Came to this place last night for our date night. It's my first time here. I love the interior design. The liquor menu isn't available but coming soon. So byob, I did not know I would have brought a wine. The menu has some interesting dishes I would love to try but I was craving fish. There were steam or fried bass. I got excited so I order the fried bass instead of the duck curry. The fish needs more seasonings however they did top it with mango salad. We ordered the oysters. It wasn't bad. However, the kind of oyster wasn't my favorite. I can still taste the fishy ocean taste. If it wasn't dare Thai chili sauce I think I will request some hot sauce. My boyfriend ordered a ribeye steak that served with ginger, rice and papaya salad. He refers the seasoning or sauce on the steak Chinese flavor not so much of Thai. We also order a platter which has four different appetizer, the chicken satay was actually the highlight. read more

Deserved 5 stars! The place looks awesome! Instagrammable worthy ! They were all nice and we did not wait too long for the food. We ordered the sampler appetizer. Chicken satay was great and the sauce is peanut base, chives cake is chewy but tasty. It has it's own sauce too. Money bag dumplings so yummy and my fave of the three. There is a 4th one but i forgot what it's called. For the entree, we shared duck curry which is really good even just the sauce. The duck is so tasty! , Kana Moo Krob which is grilled pork belly and stir fried with chinese brocolli which is yummy but the pork has too much fat. I thought i cancelled the Pad see ew but they served it anyway and we did not return it since it looks and taste good too. For the dessert, of course we have to get the mango sticky rice which has the perfect sweetness on the rice, topped withsweet mango. This place is pricey but worth it! read more

As someone new to South Loop I try to go out only once or twice a month so it takes me a while to try all the places here (which are pretty few and far between). But I could not wait to try the neighborhood Thai restaurant. I met up with a friend here who I haven't seen in a while, and we both enjoyed the vibe. It's great for a weeknight catch up session. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered pad woon sen with tofu which is my go-to dish. It was incredible--perfect amount of vegetables, crispy tofu, and hot noodles. But it was sooo spicy, even for my taste! It was totally worth the stomach ache I got in the middle of the night (which did not last long). My friend ordered the tom yum seafood soup which was hot, fresh, flavorful, and had a ton of shrimp. I would 100% dine in again or order takeout from here on repeat. read more

Very attractive restaurant in south loop. Great interior and great customer service. We personally thought the food was okay but this can be bias because we come from a Laos background so our foods are very similar. We started with the money bags and they were delicious. They are basically like egg rolls. Next we had the soft shell crab mango salad. This wasn't too special. It was just mango and other vegetables with crab on top. The scallops were okay. The raw scallops had a different texture from what I am used to. It is more dense and chewy. This is a very spicy dish so be careful!it just tasted like water and peppers to me. The pad kee mow had the right ingredients but the sauce was a bit intense. It just tasted like salty oyster sauce. The duck curry was the best thing we had! I recommend you have it. It was so good, so tender. The curry was very thick. I think it would've been nice if I was less dense. Again, this review can be bias because of my background. Everyone seems to really enjoy it. They have a lot on their menu. I definitely would still come back. I would love to try more. read more

We stopped in at 5:30pm on a Saturday for an early dinner with our toddler. The place was half empty and we were able to be seated right away, but as we sat the place quickly filled up and there was a wait by the time we left at 6:30pm. You can call to make reservations. We got the Siam platter, green curry chicken, and pad see ew with shrimp. Everything was great and this will be our go to spot for Thai food ! Easily the best Thai restaurant we've been to in Chicago. The Siam platter was a fun way to try a bunch of new things, during our first visit. Our favorites were the money bag dumplings and chicken satay. The platter came with 4 sauces and that was fun to try too. The pad see ew had suuuper wide noodles, almost square! The flavor was sweet and salty, nice balance of veggies. My husband enjoyed it more than I did, I usually prefer pad thai. Our favorite dish of the night was the green curry, really nice flavor and tender chicken. I would definitely get it again, as it was also affordable ($16) compared to the other main dishes. I hope it stays that way. We're definitely excited to try other dishes. The restaurant was nice inside. The bar was nice and the tables too. The floor was interesting and slick, my chair kept sliding as I shifted positions. Another patron nearly slipped. We had our toddler with us and they were very accommodating. Service was sufficient and friendly, not too many check ins. read more

We walked in to a modern relaxing restaurant with lots of plants hanging from the ceiling. We were quickly seated. After we ordered, the food came out fairly quickly. We ordered the Siam platter, the crispy shrimp cakes, and the calamari for starters. They were all tasty and worth ordering again next time. They came with several kinds of sauces that perfectly complimented the food. Most of us ordered the Hisbiscus Lemonade, definitely a must try. It was not too overly sweet, and had the perfect amount of tang. I recommend trying this new Thai restaurant in the South Loop. read more

I really wanted to love this place and give it a better review since this a new restaurant just added to our area and we love to support our neighborhood. But unfortunately, our experience was not pleasant last night for dinner. Upon arriving, there was no one to greet us, and the front entrance felt cramped. We had to figure out on our own that we needed to put our name on the waitlist using a tablet that was blocked by a crowd of people waiting. After joining the waitlist, we noticed some people just walking in and getting seated. After about arouminutes with no greeting, we had to approach one of the hosts to check on our wait time. Once we were seated, it took around 20 minutes for our waitress to approach us. We placed our order right away, choosing two appetizers (money bag dumplings and manila clams), a share plate (crying tiger steak), and a noodle dish (pad kee mao). The dumplings appetizer arrived about 30 minutes later. Once we finished that, we waited another 20 minutes or so before we were able to get the attention of our waitress to ask about the status of our food. She went back to the kitchen and brought back to us the noodle dish and informed us that the other appetizer and the steak were still being prepared. We were puzzled as to why a clams appetizer would take that long. When the rest of our food finally arrived, the steak was lukewarm, though the clams appetizer was hot. To be fair, the food itself was flavorful and tasted decent, but the poor service really overshadowed the experience. read more

Also khao soi, a thck savory creamy curry coconut based broth with beef short rib was 10/10.
