One of many reviews of my Thai food tour of Dublin. Siam Thai is right by my place so I've been to this location quite a few times. It's a small little place just south of Dublin 2. The decor is simple, modern and has cozy feel to it. All of my meals have been take-out so I cannot speak to the dine-in service.
You can see the kitchen from the order desk and usually it's a two person operation. I've seen the same elderly women with either her husband or son every time I've been. The food comes out fairly quick (10min) and you're out the door. Service at the counter is usually friendly.
As for the food, it's a little more salty then the thai food I've had around Dublin. I think they use a little more tamarind pulp than other places. On the plus side, they load up the chicken (or whatever meat you choose for your meal). Furthermore, I've asked for extra hot twice and boy do they pile on the spiciness! As a traditionally mild dish, the pad thai was spiced up to the perfect level. The Chillies & Basil dish is already spicy by itself, after asking for it extra spicy, I was essentially in a coma. I took me about 2 days to finish.
I've been to many thai places in Dublin and Siam is one of the better ones. I definitely will be eating there again, and will possibly try the dine-in. read more
