After the trolley tour Saturday we were hungry..starving.. it was cold and my out of town grand daughter was using her phone to find a place. We walked blocks to find the 'place'..wait lines were 1-2 hours I remembered passing Mom's Siam2. After dining at the sister restaurant in Carytown, I instantly had a craving for mango and sticky rice. Ordered edamame which was cooked perfectly. My fave is the shrimp tempura. Crispy vegetables and large shrimp. Lunch mates had miso soup, sushi and shrimp tempura. Then on to the mango and sticky rice. OMG like a party in my mouth! Service was top notch. The place was crowded when we left and waddled to our cars. Highly recommend read more

I loved my experience here! The employees were superrrr nice, and it seemed like they got along really well and were very efficient at working together. I had a super pleasant solo-dining experience and was in-and-out in 35 minutes, without ever feeling rushed. The restaurant itself had a good amount of space and lots of open tables (and also a lot of delivery people picking up for online orders). I happened to be there during happy hour, and was amazed to see maki rolls were only $6 !!! I was going to only order 1 Philly roll for $9, but of course had to order 2 for $12 on the happy hour deal (great deal, and they made more money off me due to it). I also ordered the appetizer size wonton soup, which was much bigger than expected. It was also a unique wonton soup, with a stronger spiced flavor, which made it perfect for a cold day. The cream cheese Rangoon was super yummy, I loved the sauce! The mango sticky rice was DELICIOUS I could eat it every day!!! Thank you for a lovely experience:) read more

I got the drunken noodle with duck ($19) spice level 3, kao soy gai ($16) , and a Philly roll during there Saturday special happy hour ($4). Food came out in a good time and I was very happy with the spicy level. Spicy enough to feel it while also enjoying its flavor. The portion size was what I was accustomed to where it was enough for two servings! The duck was probably the only thing I'd critique, it wasn't too crispy and seemed like a small portion. But besides that I had a great experience with the food and portion sizes! Food(50%): 8.0 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 9.0 Overall: 8.1/10 read more

Wife and I happened to stroll in for dinner. Customer service was good. We ordered the soft shell crab pad Thai and the shockoe bottom roll. Pad Thai was pretty good, same goes with the soft shell crab. I wished the soft shell crab was stir fried in with the pad thai but it was still good. Shockoe bottom roll was pretty good as well, I destroyed majority of it. Pretty big portions for sushi pieces. Definitely looking forward to our return to get something different. read more

I had an order of shrimp tempura and crab Rangoon It was no more than 2 shrimp in the whole tempura roll. Don't wast your money at this place. I called and they said sorry you didn't like it. Anxious to get off the phone w/ me. Without a doubt the worst shrimp tempura roll I have ever eaten. Crab Rangoon was OK. If you can't listen to your customers- you'll end up with no customers. read more

Went here on a whim after wanting to try it from a trip prior and was not disappointed. Waiter was very attentive, menu easy to grasp (beyond wanting a little of everything) and food came out great after ordering a proper blend of the Japanese and Thai options for a family of 4. As well as a welcomed favorite from the sushi that my partner was happy to see for once. I was happy to find good pad thai after a long while and the kids experimented out of the box with duck soup and Japanese udon. Not quite there typical but far from complaining either. The ambiance was sweet with plenty of well kept plants and flowers around and eating space plenty enough to not feel crowded in and overall giving a clean feeling to just take in. Will definitely be coming back when in town. read more

Excellent pad see ew. Tasted the was that it's supposed it. Located right across the street from the Marriott Courtyard. read more

Dined in for a quick weeknight dinner and am very satisfied with the quality of the food and service. My order came out steaming hot and in a sizable portion considering the price. I came in at the tail end of happy hour so decided to indulge in a cocktail. The thai tea tini was a delicious dessert drink! read more

I leave happy and with a full belly every time I come here. This place has held many great memories for me over the years and the service has mostly stayed the same - fast, friendly, and attentive. It's clean and cozy inside with plenty of space for smaller or larger groups. Definitely stop by if you can! read more

When walking in I was greeted by two people, the hostess and the man behind the bar. The man smiled and said hello but the hostess just started at my blankly and made me feel stupid for asking questions about the menu. Something in my gut told me to peak at the menu and leave but I unfortunately went against it. I would recommend other Thai spots before this one. I was craving some Thai but I just didn't hit the spot for me. I guess the $17 I spent on the so called "lunch special" was okay. I ordered the Red Curry, it came with a sweet and sour soup. The little cup of soup I had, had the most flavor almost too much so I added it to my flavorless curry but as you can see there's only 3 pieces of tofu in it. As for the red curry, it was in one of those small takeout containers and waaaay more rice than actual food. The food isn't bad it's just not as flavorful and makes me wish I chose a different place for lunch, especially for the price. That's the biggest factor for me. Overall it's a beautiful restaurant. I'm just not happy with my experience but good luck and happy eating! read more

This place sure had potential for a good lunch...quickly seated and initially quite friendly goofld service. Coworkers and boss really enjoyed their food too! BUT two inappropriate comments to my boss (female) plus my lunch that came out at least 15 minutes late - he blamed the back of the house (sure) and yes of course it wasnt hot in the least. The final bit - my food was not at ALL spicy. Seriously none and it was supposed to be "hot" (two stars, so not just spicy but hot... certainly not 3 or 4 stars). Huge disappointment. So wanted to inform the gentleman that likely was the manager/owner who asked how everything was, but with coworkers that did like their food? Not that time. Well, I know of plenty of better Thai places in its place...... read more

We came to Mom's Siam 2 after shamrock, and it was so good!!! It was pretty cold by the evening, so a bowl of rice and warm curry was the perfect thing to eat. Our server suggested this curry and it was so yummy - it had potatoes, veggies, and tofu. There were so many vegetarian options so it made me very happy! The food was out pretty quickly despite how crowded it was. We had no wait either, we were seated promptly. My only complaint was the water in the bathroom was really hot so just be careful when using the bathroom sink. read more

I ordered take out and the dinner size green curry with tofu was delicious! Highly recommend.

I came here for lunch. The curry was amazing! Everything came out hot and fresh. I enjoyed my Thai tea as well. The salad wasn't great and I usually enjoy the salad with ginger dressings. Would definitely recommend! read more

Quick | Affordable | Portions Quick - Monica and I, met two of my high school friends for lunch on a Wednesday. We got a seat right away and received service right away. It was relatively busy but not outrageous. Affordable - The prices are all extremely affordable given its location in the city. I had the chicken teriyaki with broccoli and rice. It was $15 with tax a tip. Portions - come prepared with an appetite. I had lunch with my friends at noon and didn't need anything but a few snacks for the rest of the day. Overall, I highly recommend this location. Pro Tip 1 - There is a public parking lot half a block away. It is a very busy part of downtown, so plan for about 5-7 minutes of riding around if you want street parking. I would just bite the bullet and either uber over or use the parking lot. read more

Absolutely WORST service. Ordered via their website. Wasn't delivered for over 3 hours. Multiple calls and lied to multiple times. No fault of door dash. Avoid this place at all costs. Dishonest and shady. Door Dash delivery guy also told us to never order for them. And after 3 + hours, they didn't even deliver the complete order!!! read more

me and my friend came on a very slow night , food was amazing and staff bartender was awesome ! food was so good ! everything was perfect

Mom Siam is reliable, good price value. Portions are good size and the ingredients look fresh

This is a good lunch spot in downtown Richmond. I work near this restaurant and was able to go for lunch for the first time with some coworkers. They have a great lunch menu to choose from, and it comes with either a hot and sour or a miso soup. I opted for the hot and sour. It was decent enough, I liked the big chunks of tofu. I ordered a beef and vegetable dish. It had beef, peppers, carrots, and mushrooms. I asked for it very spicy. It was pretty good- not as good as my usual Thai spots in Richmond but definitely satisfied my craving. The service was super quick which was great since I only have an hour for lunch. I would go again, and would like to try the sushi next time! read more

After my run around the Virginia Capitol plaza I was really hungry for Poke Bowl but could find one close to where I was so I decided to go towards my hotel when my Map told me there is one inside the James Tower -- Sesame Sushi yet when I got there I was told it's closed (not sure if it's for good) the concierge at the tower told me there is a Japanese place -- Mom's Siam and when I looked I saw one but I guess a branch of it which I literally a minute walk from my hotel. It's actually not just Japanese Restaurant it's Asian Fusion because they also serve Thai food. I opted for the Duck Curry. The food was great and fresh herbs and amazing taste on the seasoning. The meat was tender and tasty. I would've prepared it if the rice was on a separate plate so it's drench in the curry sauce. Also a more friendly approach since I felt as if I was not welcome. The price was just right as well, $23 with a drink. This place was located at the historical Richmond downtown, totally different vibe than downtown. Streets are cobblestone so yes comfortable shoes are needed. I would definitely check it out if you're hungry for curry. read more

Save room for dessert .. chose the new fried banana dessert on suggestion of staff . It was unique - crunchy outside with whole banana inside. Dredged it in the chocolate sauce on the plate for just the right flavor combo . I paired it with sticky rice since this is my favorite (it was on point) but it would have been excellent with ice cream also. Great presentation ! read more

It's been four years since my last review of Mom Siam 2. Since that time I've mostly avoided this place. That was until my baby love starting working in the downtown area circa January of 2018. She is a fan of Thai food so we decided to give this place another shot. Well I'm happy to announce I've found my signature lunch dish! The classic Thai fried rice with either seafood or shrimp. I always order mine with EXTRA seafood or extra shrimp and request extra cilantro sprinkled on top. It's an expensive $4.00 upcharge but in my humble opinion it's worth it. Whenever my love and I dine here I always pick up the tab, since with my upcharge it's an expensive lunch $30+ My rich ass can swing it so it doesn't much matter. For me, having an amazing plate of Thai fried rice LOADED up with shrimp is nothing short of perfect. I also give my steaming pile of rice a good squirt of sriracha sauce to perfect it. During the cold miserable months in the Commonwealth this place fits the bill in spades. read more

Food is not good unfortunately. Pad Thai was saucy in a bad way and they don't tenderize their proteins so a chicken stir fry dish was super dry. Do not recommend at all. read more

Delicious food! So piping hot, fresh and beautifully plated! Service was good. Server accomodated us with an extra table due to ordwring the left side of the menu. HAHAA! It would be nice if the server smiled more. Just didn't seem too happy to be there. Plenty of seating when we got there around 8:30PM. Clean and love the cute Valentine's Day lights. We would recommend this restaurant if you are looking for asian fusion cuisine. Ssooo delicious! read more

Came in for lunch and ordered the crispy spring rolls, drunken noodles and panang curry. The place was packed and we were in a time crunch, I was worried it was going to take long for out food but I was wrong. The food didn't take long and it was super hot when it came out except for the crispy spring rolls. Spring rolls did not come out as hot, plus I got gipped. The menu said 4 spring rolls but I got 2 and got charged full price for it. I got beef drunken noodles, the flavor and spices were there but the beef kinda tasted funny. It had a tint of sourness to it, portion was big too. My friend got the chicken panang curry, definitely had a good taste to it. Overall it was good! read more

horrible service . Food was far from Thai and authentic . flavors can be sold to a person who has never had Thai before . The only good thing I have to say is the bar drinks . I ordered 2 lemon drops for my partner and I and got a mixed bourbon drinks . Ordered sticky rice to pair with som Tum and got sweet coconut rice . If you're Thai or you are familiar with Thai cuisine then you know sweet coconut rice is for desert . please save yourself a trip and money and go to Siam mama the original one . Hate writing bad reviews but I paid over a hundred for the waitress' errors she did not correct . read more

While preparation was quick, the pad Thai was not very good; it did not have a lot of flavor/seasoning to it, and while I did not expect it to be excessively spicy, it had absolutely no heat to it. Definitely not worth $20. read more
