    Pad Thai Noodle, Chicken Curry, Tom Kha  Soup with Chicken
    Devin M.

    8.6/10 We ordered the Pad Thai Noodle, Chicken Curry (hot), and Tom Kha Soup with Chicken. Starting with the Pad Thai, this was my personal favorite of the night. It had that perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, with a generous portion of beef throughout. There was a subtle citrusy hint that almost tasted like a touch of orange, which gave it a unique twist, plus just the right amount of spice. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying. Definitely a staple and a must-order. The Chicken Curry was ordered hot, and they definitely delivered on the heat. It had a strong kick but was still packed with rich, bold flavor. The sauce was thick and aromatic, and pairing it with rice is a must to soak up all that curry goodness. The carrots added a nice texture and slight sweetness that balanced the spice. Overall, I'd absolutely order this again. Lastly, the Tom Kha Soup with Chicken. While it wasn't my personal favorite, it was still very flavorful and rich. The broth was creamy and packed with generous pieces of chicken. For me, it felt a bit heavy for a soup, but I can see how others would really enjoy that richness. The carrots and mushrooms were a great addition and added depth to the dish. Service was attentive and fast, even when the restaurant got busy. The ambiance was clean and cozy, on the smaller side, but they handled the crowd well and stayed efficient.

    Came right when they opened. Great service, & yummy food. Portion was just right for lunch. Got the spicy noodles at a level 3. Would recommend checking it out!

    My family and I have been eating here for over 10 years. Food is made with care and love. If you like spicy Thai food or chill Thai this family will take care of you. Food is AMAZING. My favorites are the catfish, pineapple fried rice, and mango sticky rice.

    We came here for Hubby's Birthday Dinner after our daughter's soccer game. We enjoyed the food which was more on the lighter side. Reminds me of a Chinese restaurant but a healthier version. Service was fast and waitstaff was friendly and attentive. I liked the ambiance, informal but yet much more elegant than most Asian restaurants around here.

    Ordered to go and cook rice at home. Ordered 4 dishes $75 Pad see ew with beef Duck curry Pineapple curry chicken Panang curry pork 4 of us ate dinner last night and had enough leftovers for another dinner. Mild was perfect spice level for me. I can only handle slightly spicy. The pad see ew was mild + and a tad too spicy for me but good for the rest of the family. It had a lot of beef but we prefer more noodles.

    My friends and I were in Carmel for the weekend and had a craving for Thai food so tried Baan Thai. We got takeout so I can't comment on the ambiance, but the take out was packaged nicely. What we tried: - chicken pad se ew: I love pad se ew, but this one was just ok. Noodles were cooked well, but it missing some flavor. - pork pad thai: a lot of great flavors going on here. The noodles were great, but I wish it came with peanuts. - pumpkin curry: made with kabocha pumpkin, the mild was a bit spicy for me. Also there were some hard bits of the kabocha in the curry so unfortunate not my favorite thing to eat. Note: you have to order rice on the side as it does not come with rice - pineapple fried rice: the fried rice was packed full of flavor and my favorite thing of the 4 things tried. All in all the food was ok.

    Spicy Noodle with Chicken

    Khao Soi 5/5: This item was listed on a board near the entrance. I did not see this on the menu. Khao Soi is a curry noodle dish that's usually served with chicken, pickled veges, and fried noodles as a topping. I love the curry is this dish as it's not too salty but it packed with flavor. The pickles help cut through the richness and the fried noodles at texture. Just be careful slurping as you might get your clothes dirty. I hope they will continue to serve this dish! Spicy Noodles 5/5: I ordered this thinking it sounded like Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) - my go-to Thai dish. This did not disappoint! We got this with Mild heat and it was perfect. The spiciness slowly builds as you continue to eat and the basil was aromatic. Duck Curry 5/5: I'm coming back for this. The curry is so rich and flavorful. The duck is also very tender. I highly recommend this dish if you're looking to try a new curry. Pineapple Fried Rice 4/5: The rice is covered in turmeric and there's pineapple chunks and raisins sprinkled throughout. This isn't my cup of tea, but my friends and family love this dish. Iced Thai Coffee 5/5: So good! This was a steal for $4. It is on the sweeter side like most Thai drinks, but the strong coffee balances it out.

    Pad See Ew Noodle
    Becky C.

    omg you know a thai place is good when they have the vinegar ifykyk. super casual place with cute christmas decor. we were seated super quickly and food came out fast. The papaya salad was fire and we got spicy level 3 but had a good kick to it. I thought the pad see ew portion was huge and the vinegar made everything balanced. i did think at first the sauce on sad see ew was a little too sweet.

    duck noodles + papaya salad
    Angel L.

    Quaint spot in a quaint town! The papaya salad was sooo good, and a perfect level of spicy. I liked the duck noodle soup; the meat bits were cut into small pieces and absorbed the soup's flavor. The staff was so welcoming and helpful!

It's warm, clean, and inviting. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. Some of my favorite dishes are the fresh rolls with peanut sauce, the Thai salads, and the mixed vegetables with peanut sauce. I love their Thai Tea! What truly sets this restaurant apart, though, is the exceptional hospitality. Sam, the owner, is very kind and always welcoming. He's always greeting guests with a smile and genuinely makes you feel appreciated. One Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day, (I can't remember which one) my family arrived late after the restaurant was already full. Even though they were busy and were closing soon, Sam welcomed us in. That kindness meant so much to us, and it's something I'll never forget. Between the outstanding food, authentic atmosphere, and incredible service, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend Siamese Bay Restaurant and will definitely be back! See you soon Sam!

The Pad Thai was definitely the highlight, perfectly cooked noodles coated in a rich, balanced sauce, and the beef was tender and flavorful. You really can't go wrong with it. The Panang Curry was also very enjoyable. The curry itself was creamy and full-bodied, and pairing it with rice really brought out the depth of flavor. I ordered it with chicken, which was good, but I do wish there had been a bit more of it. The Tom Kah Kai was incredibly rich and aromatic. The broth had a deep, comforting flavor, and the mushrooms were surprisingly the star, soaking up the soup and adding an extra layer of umami that made each bite better than the last. Service was fast and attentive, with the staff consistently checking in and keeping water filled, which I appreciated. The ambiance had a nice, authentic feel that really complemented the meal and made the whole experience more immersive.
