Raw beef laarb is mid. Asked for bitter, but seems like they mixed both sour and bitter together. Very salty, I can taste a lot of fish sauce. Portion is big though. The Thai boat smells good, but the taste is alright. Doable. They already dress it with bean sprouts and don't bring out any other vegetable condiments. read more

Don't believe the haters! This place continues to deliver on so many aspects, from service to flavor to portions and price point. Highlights of our experience: Food - I got the boat noodle with flat noodle and shared the Lao sausage, som tum Lao, and chicken satay with my partner, who ordered drunken noodle with chicken for his entree. The Lao style papaya salad has to be my favorite restaurant papaya salad that I've ordered so far in Sac. I requested no added sugar and it came out perfect. From now on when I'm craving som tum, I'm coming here. The other two appetizers were solid. The Lao sausage was flavorful and came with a ramekin of dipping sauce. The satay skewers were juicy and grilled just enough. Our noodle dishes were heaping and so generously portioned. The boat noodle is still delicious despite what others have said since ownership transition to Siam Thao. What I appreciate is the sauce tray includes sugar and so we can adjust the sweetness of the broth to our preference - a green flag to me as someone whose main gripe with Thai food is how overly sweet things can be sometimes. Service - Super prompt, friendly and just the right amount of attentive. We got our waters refilled without needing to ask and all our food came out quickly even as they were in the middle of a dinner rush. We were greeted with a warm smile upon arrival and thanked before leaving. Price - We ordered two entrees and three appetizers and went home with leftovers, all for a total of $85 (20% tip included) . Bellies full and content without breaking the bank. TLDR; GO HERE. read more

I went to Heare for a quick lunch upon recommendation from a work colleague. She usually gets the boat noodles and states that it's the best in the Sacramento area. I didn't try them, but I did have the fish cakes and Thai style tom ka coconut chicken soup. The fish cakes were small, but a decent size for a single person and very tasty. I like the mildly spicy sauce that accompanied it. The coconut soup was too watery for my liking, but the ingredients were delicious. There was plenty of parking for a small to medium size restaurant. I will try something different if I go back. read more

Love that this place was open for Veteran's Day. The staff is always kind and attentive. It's nice and quiet and the food does have authentic flavors and ingredients. I am Thai and not all Thai restaurants use Chinese broccoli, but this one does! That's why I often order the Rad Nah for this reason. Even my mom likes coming here (grew up in Thailand, super particular). My husband also loves the curries here! read more

The best Thai food I have ever had! I got to try so many new dishes, and I loved it! The inside of the restaurant has plenty of open walkway space because tables are placed near the walls. It is surprisingly bigger inside than I thought with a good amount of seating. Customer service was great, and food came out fast. Our server reread the orders to make sure everything is correct because they have a policy that does not allow remakes or refunds on incorrect orders. A waiter also came by a few times to refill our waters. The food portions are pretty generous and everything is so flavorful and delicious! I got a small Thai boat noodle combination, and it was just the right amount because I was stuffed after finishing it and eating some of the appetizers. The broth is unique and amazing. I saved my leftover soup to make more noodles the next day. The beef larb and papaya salad had the perfect amount of spice and flavor. The chicken noodle was a little oily, but still very yummy! I am already planning my next visit because I want to try their khao poon. read more

Wow! The food here is so good! The Thai food is amazing. The Pad Thai is easily some of the best I've ever had. If you love that strong tamarind flavor with a touch of sweetness, you'll be obsessed with this one. The Khao Soi broth is also really tasty. And you definitely can't forget the Pa Kra Pow--the light sauce on that dish is perfect. On top of all that, the customer service is A+. I can't wait to go back! The space is also huge! Lots of seating for everyone and space away from one another. read more

Order the papaya salad medium spicy, chicken laab, whole deep fried tilapia, pad Thai and a side of sticky rice. The food was amazing , the place is quiet and family friendly. My favorite was the deep fried tilapia with their chili sauce, it hit the spot . Their pad Thai noodles was a bit saucy but it was flavorful. Every thing was excellent read more

This is my go to boat noodle place. I don't think I would go anywhere else to get my boat noodles unless I'm making it myself their crab and cheese wontons are really good too. The service at the restaurant is OK, but it's expected of an Asian establishment not too much attention given towards customers since we feel that it's rude to interrupt when someone is eating the restaurant ambience is decorated with traditional portraits and sculptures and trinkets and the tables are lined with traditional Thai embroidered cloth. I've tried other dishes such as the pad Thai, drunken noodles, and the curry chicken and wasn't really impressed, but that's just my opinion since I do cook and have a different flavor palette. But if you want boat noodles, then this is your place. I also heard that their Kaopoon is good too, which is the chicken curry noodle soup but I haven't had it there. read more

Good portions, good prices. We got boat noodles, pad see ew & pad thai. Everything was great! Boat noodles needed just a little more and the chili flakes provided helped it a lot. Pad see ew was perfect, usually people make it too sweet but it was a good balance. Chicken in both noodle dishes were tender. Pad thai was saucy and exactly how i like it. Quiet place, refilled your water a lot. Would come back again! read more

Siam Thao - Pad thai, boat noodles & pad see ew - Thai Near Me - Sacramento, California

Minimal parking. Lots of indoor dining. Could definitely use an update. Everything looks a bit run down. Service was decent. The boat noodles was pretty good (tip: get the large, the small is more of a child size than anything). The pad thai is made fresh to order. Definitely one of the better items here. I would not recommend the pineapple fried rice. The rice was a bit bland and the toppings was too bulky. This was not my first time here and won't be my last. read more

Siam Thao - My mom's favorite place for a Bowl of Thai Boat. - Thai Near Me - Sacramento, California

Food is yummy and best of all, Best Thai boat in town! Service is great and fast! We visit this establishment a few times a month.

This place feels pretty authentic! The etched wood is really nice and there are a lot of Thai pictures and decor inside. I did enjoy the boat noodles but I feel like it didn't really taste like boat noodles. Tasted more like pho. The spice level here is definitely on the higher side, so if you are not great on the spice, you might not want to get a high level of spice. The pad se ew I got was good - I really liked the Chinese broccoli in this. I think the fish cake app was good, but it was just fried fish cakes and nothing to write home about. I might try some other stuff from here in the future. read more

If you want authentic Thai food, this is your spot. It's a hole in the wall with a tiny parking lot, so I can see why this would be a popular take out spot. The inside isn't really appealing, but the food is where they shine. If your food isn't spicy enough, they do offer a spice rack as well with different pickled thai chilis, jalapenos, dry chili, etc. You know a Thai/Lao spot is legit when they even have sugar on the table lol IYKYK. Their spice levels are Thai spicy so if you're normally a medium somewhere else, make sure you go one level down. Thai boat noodle here comes in two sizes, but get a large unless you're weak haha It comes with all the good stuff in the combination version but if you don't like tripe and tendon (like me) there is an option for just meat or meatballs. The broth is so deep, rich and flavorful even without anything added. My parents loooove the thai boat noodle here, and will make it a point to stop here for lunch/dinner any time they're in the area. I hardly ever order crab rangoon but I was in the mood for something cheesy this day. This was a solid choice because their version is pretty dang good. There is hardly any green onion or crab, it's really all cream cheese, but it's sweet and creamy and really yummy with the sweet dipping sauce they provided on the side. I would get this again. My sister and I decided to share the drunken noodles and the Pad Prik King with chicken. We decided on medium spicy for both but lemme tell you... this would be considered hot or Thai hot in other Thai restos. It was so damn spicy but it hurt so good! The rice noodles they use are sooo thick and silky, and they were so generous with all the meat, veggies and noodles. The pad prik king is basically a green bean stir fry. The green beans in this were nice and crunchy but the chicken was a bit dry. Entrees do not come with rice so make sure you order a side of rice to go with this. Portion sizes are large and great for sharing! Thai tea was creamy and sweet, and perfect to wash down all the spice we were inhaling. Never a bad choice if you want something other than water. This isn't a place to bring your first date, but it's a low key hidden gem. read more

This place is located on florin and is the BEST place to get boat noodles made the authentic way! The entire party got an order of boat noodle because that's how great it is (along with some other things of course). I love to highlight the best dishes in places, but the food we ordered was spot on. The fried chicken isn't very seasoned because it pairs well with other side items like papaya that has plenty of flavor (eating Lao/Thai 101). The papaya was made lao style and had just enough padaek in it. You can never go wrong with luch sin (meatballs) either. The fish cake was equally good, and the sauce really made it pop! Despite it being in a somewhat sketch neighborhood, it is so worth the trip. The service is quick and the food comes out fresh and delicious read more

Great Thai food at a reasonable price. I've been coming for years, since before the recent ownership change and food is flavorful. Portions are generous and options are limitless. My usual is the Pad see ew, but I've also had the boat noodle (on point btw), beef larb, and drunken noodle. Their pad Thai is obviously a solid choice as well. Service is friendly, fast, and welcoming. Would totally recommend for lunch. read more

It's been a year & I decided to go back today to this restaurant, I noticed that the owner has changed, it's now owned by Hmong Folks. As a Thai, that worried me, how can it be authentic taste of traditional Thai cuisine when it's not owned by Thai people? In my opinion I would not recommend it, has to be owned by Thai people. I always loved the boat noodles and ordered a small to go, now it doesn't taste the same anymore, it has this weird after taste plus it's really sweet. The portion was very small also. You will see the photo of how much noodle they gave me. Sadly I won't be coming back. read more

Definitely add in the dry chili flakes, sriracha, and their chill oil The lao style sausage was spot on as well. Shout out to the new Hmong owners! Thx for the great food and service read more

Saturday, 4/02/2022 - Went for lunch at "Siam PA House" restaurant off of Florin Road. Address is 3010 Florin Rd, Sacramento, CA 95822. It's close to Florin high school, 2ish buildings Down from Church's Chicken, next to a car shop. If you blink, you'll miss the restaurant. I did and I missed it. Lol. Upon arrival: Pros: 1) small parking lot. But there was parking. Glad it's not paid parking. ;) 2) restaurant is clean. Plates, bowls, silverwares, cups, tabkes, chairs, etc were all clean. 3) drinks tasted good. Water tasted good. No metal taste. 4) tables are nicely spread apart. 5) all of the food dishes we got were great! No over powering of any one seasoning. Not overly salty. Perfect blend. Every dish tasted great. 6) our server was very nice and professional. She checked on us several times. She even took our photos for us. 7) bathroom clean. Cons: 1) no cons! Conclusion: I really liked this restaurant. Foods were perfectly cooked, great service, clean, nice ambiance. I would go here again. Try this place if you haven't yet. read more

We've been coming here for awhile and it's our go to for Thai food. Depending on when you come, the food comes out relatively fast. There are also a lot of seatings so if you have a large party they would be able to accommodate you. My favorite here is their cream cheese wontons. I don't know what they do to it, but they make it so good. It's so creamy and the crust is so light. I also really like their beef basil and duck curry. Highly recommended! Their boat noodle is also very good. It's packed with so much flavor. The only thing I wouldn't recommend here is their kao poon. We ordered it once and it wasn't that good. Other than that, their solid and I recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Togo. Boat noodle Pork egg roll Pad Thai. Food was ready on time after calling picked up no problem. Cashier was great gave me extra chili Boat noodle: 4/5delicious! The broth was rich n earthy had a clean flavor to it came with plenty of meat. Only thing I didn't like was the stale pork skin they gave me. Pork egg roll. 2/5 Although is was crispy. It was very bland and had no flavor to it at all. It was mostly noodles as well wish it had more meat in the roll. Pad Thai 3/5 If you like sour pad Thai this place is for you! I prefer mine on the savor n sweeter side. It came with plenty of meat which was greater. read more

I think I found where you y'all natives go for boat noodles now. But I don't gatekeep! Listen, I've been searching for a go-to boat noodles and I finally found one. Best I had in the area so far! Even better if it was raining outside. Remind me of when I would run to the boat noodles cart in rain in Thailand just for a bowl of delicious goodness. Try it and tell me if I'm wrong, but it's exactly what I've been looking for. I got a small and boy, did it get me full and your girl can eat! I saw people got large bowls and trust me, they're huuuge. We got the pad Thai, too. GOOD. I like to try it at diff restaurants bc if it's bad nothing else would be good. They did a good job! Taste like the one you would have on the streets of Thailand. We also got Laos sausage, A+ We also copied other people there and got the crab Rangoon... imma pass on that next time. Good snack though but no crab just a lot of cream cheese. Thai tea was also good. There was only 2 staff running the front when we were there and they hustled! Left a great tip because the food came out quickly and the staff was accommodating and friendly! The best "hole in the wall" kinda? Since it's big, but can be easily missed if you're not paying attention. 1000% would come back! read more

Wow, I cannot believe I never had Thai style noodle soup before. Amazing Boat noodle soup! So flavorful and delicious, I am hungry writing this review. Contain meatballs, tripe, tendons, sliced rare beef, and a savory broth with thin flat rice noodles. It has a such beautiful aroma! I like to add a little bit of noodles, soup, and protein in every bite. This was so fun to eat, I highly recommend the Boat Noodle soup! I also ordered the Pad Thai and Tom Kha Soup. The Pad Thai in most restaurants in town have a tomato tangy sauce. However, the sauce here was very different...sweet and thick. So even thought the noodles were cooked perfectly and had a great amount of chicken, sprouts, peanut crunch, and tofu in the dish, I would not recommend the Pad Thai unless you like sweet sauces on your rice noodles. I love the Tom Kha soup here. The soup was creamy but not thick, flavorful and balanced. I would definitely be back to order the soup and the boat noodle again. read more

Stopped by here on a Saturday to try out the boat noodle. It had a very generous portion of meat compared to noodles and the broth was decent (but not the best I've had in the state). It's in the running for best in town though...I have a few other spots to try before I decide on that. The sausage was good, seasoned well, and came with a pepper dipping sauce. We ordered sticky rice to go with it and it made for a nice meal. I would recommend skipping the meatball appetizers though if you're looking for something made in house. These are basically the same meatballs you can get in pho or boat noodles. Staff was friendly. It's located in the same parking area as the U-Haul store, next to the Asian grocery store (which is a separated lot). read more

Hands down probably the best food I have had since I have been here. Very surprising actually even though we had to Togo the order it was amazing. I can imagine how great it is dining in. We both ordered the Combination boat noodles with flat noodle. Everything was packaged very very nicely and for me that is such a plus when they care about their food. So for the portions they are huge actually. I believe one bowl can feed 2 people. Ok let's talk about the food. Really probably the most flavorful broth I have had. Very savory and rich had my mouth watering! I didn't need to add anything to it. It was perfect. Savory , rich , citrus , tasted like it was infused with bone marrow.
