I didn't think it was possible for Thai food to be bland but here we are. The most tasteless Lo Mein Grapow I've ever had. Totally makes sense why the service was also extremely rude! I'd be rude too if I was serving the worst kind of Thai food. Absolutely won't recommend. read more

This unassuming Thai restaurant serves authentic dishes. We tried the Lover's Honeymoon and Gra Pow with Chicken. The former was good, but a bit too sweet for our taste. However, the Gra Pow was simply extraordinary. The chicken was incredibly flavorful and paired perfectly with the rice. I highly recommend taking out from this place. read more

Siam Bistro - Pad C U - medium spice level brings plenty of heat to balance the sweetness. - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The sign on the front of their restaurant states they are open until 10pm on weekdays. When I asked the person at the counter why they closed at 9pm, she got upset with me because I called them on it. Be aware that this store advertises false hours on their storefront. read more

Last-minute takeout for me, but I found something decent. Pad C U with Chicken tasted great and was decently portioned. Location is definitely hidden so you must use your map for navigation. read more

Siam Bistro is definitely a casual spot, probably more for takeout than anything else. It's the type of place where you to go up to the counter to order, even though there's a decent amount of seating. Even if you're dining in, they serve your food in to go containers. In terms of food, the menu has a mix of classic Thai and fusion dishes. We ordered the Drunken Noodle and Massaman Curry, both with chicken. The Drunken Noodle had a decent taste, but I think it could have used a bit more flavor. The noodles itself had the right texture, with a bit of chew. The Massaman Curry was a bit thinner in consistency than I'm used to, as it seemed like it had less coconut milk than most curries I've tried. It still had a good flavor profile to it, though. I don't think this would be my top pick for Thai food in Boston, but it's decent if you're looking for something quick downtown. read more

I loveeeee their Pad C U !!! So good. Shellfish allergy and they are always very accommodating.

Super nice people who run this little restaurant. My appetite wasn't strong today so I just ordered crab rangoon, steamed Siam dumplings and a Thai iced tea and they were all tasty. I look forward to returning and trying more items. read more

Siam Bistro - Red Curry Dinner Pad-C-U Noodle Chicken Garlic Rice Plate - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I am so happy I found Siam Bistro. A GEM! I ordered the Tom Yum Soup (comes mild spice) Chicken Gra Pow (medium spice)(added an egg) With a Thai ice tea. To begin the food was outstanding, the spice levels are true to what it tells you. The spice gets stronger as you eat (obviously)but a few sips from my Thai tea, I was ready for more. I had my soup first, but my gra pow followed really soon after. My soup was served HOT in temp, everything is served " to go", but the portions are a bit on the bigger side so it works. I think it just goes to show they care about the quality of the food over anything. That's 100% alright with me. read more

Siam Bistro - Gra Pow Chicken Rice Plate Tom Kha Soup Thai Iced Tea - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place definitely seems more like a hole in the wall, and so on my lunch break, I conveniently stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. I decided to try the tom yum noodle soup, and I was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful and delicious the soup was. There were tinges of sweet, spicy and sour, and all the flavor profiles combined into one piping hot soup was the perfect blend. There was a good amount of soup and noodle, so I feel that it was a good price for the portion of food that I got, not to mention all the pieces of seafood that was added. I feel that the fishy taste was a little strong in the squid and scallop, and the soup was a little too salty for me, but overall, pretty good impression and would love to come back and try other items on the menu. read more

Great takeout lunch spot in the Boston Financial District. The food is exactly how I remembered it to be pre-Covid. The Crispy Thai Chicken Basil is very craveable, but the whole repertoire of dishes is well done here. Ordering ahead and picking up is my modus operandi, as they get very very busy during the lunch hour. read more

I come to this place for lunch during work sometimes. You can't really sit, you definitely should order ahead, if you do they are always timely, really friendly staff. The food is all good Thai Takeout food. The crispy chicken is good, the papaya salad is good, all the noodles are good as well. Over all great place to pick up take out. read more

Poor service. Ordered food with Uber eats and and it did not arrive. Had to call number of times to check where is the food. Very bad.

I cannot say enough about this eatery. I have been eating at Siam Bistro (take out) for several years. You know that saying, "You don't know what you go until it's gone?", well I had that experience. I moved out of Boston, and ate at a few different Thai places...not good. It just reminded me of how special Siam Bistro is. So, take advantage of this gem, and order from them when you can. Their Hot Basil is great, Crab Rangoons are tasty, the food is not overly oily in a bad way, and their customer service is fantastic. If I could rate this 6 stars, I would do it in a heartbeat. Anyway, don't take my word for it, eat there are judge it for yourself. #FreakinDelicious. read more

Good decent Thai food . Not excellent yet to the level where I would like it to be . Papaya salad lacks that spicy kick , need less string beans , need to be more hots and more papayas. The sweet mango desert was good though . Not a bad place for to go also. read more

Siam Bistro - Thai Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Meh. I've been walking by this place for years. The other day I was walking by at lunch time thinking about... oh, hey! Siam Bistro. I was eager to give it a try. Since it was just me, I ordered one dish, my Thai go-to: krapow. Yay! Right? Eh. The place was busy with what looked like financial district/tourists looking for lunch. There are (maybe) two tables for eat in, but their "plates" and such were identical to the carry out plastic containers and woefully tiny tiny inadequate utensils. Smallest fork I've ever seen. Because I was on foot, and had a couple of bags with me, it was going to be difficult to carry the handle-less paper bag my food was wrapped in. For carry out orders *not much bigger than mine,* they have brown bags with flat bottoms and handles. This is essential to keep the dish from tilting and spilling in transit. It was clear I had packages so she should have packed my carry-out appropriately but she didn't. So I asked. She pulled out a flimsy plastic thing. The whole way home I was juggling the thing because the food wouldn't lay flat. Sometimes, in service, it's the seemingly small things. I already don't trust this place. The food? oh that. A lot can be forgiven for good food. (Not that you should get bad service ever....) The krapow was spicy -- a really good spice level. That was pleasing. But as I dipped in to eat it, I realized that about 75-80% of the dish was white rice. It's like I paid $14 for a plastic tub of rice! haha. Oh well. I might go back if... you know, I wanted to hide from a spy balloon or if Biddy's runs out of boneless chicken wings. No parking, of course, unless you're a ninja. read more

Food is decent but their attitude is terrible and they cheap out in everything they can: 1. Weakest utensils I've ever used. Incredibly flimsy. Plastic utensils can be bought in bulk; this is saving them like three cents per customer or something. 2. Poorly bagged food in leaky plastic containers. Not even a plastic bag with handles. Just a brown paper bag with a leaky tub in it. 3. Rice not included with the stir fry dishes. Never heard of being asked to pay extra for rice. My spicy basil beef stir fry with rice was $19, more than I expected. Food was decent, well spiced, not too remarkable though. Probably won't be back. read more

What a hidden gem! The staff were really wonderful. They packaged our takeout so carefully and were very kind. Portions were large and fairly priced. I was really expecting everything to be watered down and overly sweet (you know... for ... white people), but the food was tasty with wok hei and they don't hold back on the spice! I would order again in a heartbeat and wish they were in my neighborhood! We would order weekly if they were! read more

Taste/Quality of Ingredients: 5/5 Quality of ingredients is pretty standard for what you'd expect from a local Thai restaurant - it's very much a lunch spot and not anything particularly fancy. Taste is great though! I think the seasoning is always just right and a great place if you like spicy food. Warning on that though - I think I have pretty good spice tolerance but if you get the max level spice at this place it will make you cry and sweat. Price/Value: 5/5 No complaints here - most lunch specials are around $10-12 and the portion sizes are pretty good. Service/Atmosphere: 4/5 Siam can get quite busy during lunch. You may want to order ahead of time on the phone or online if you're just picking up food otherwise it can take quite a bit to get your food. Actual seating is fairly small inside and atmosphere is not particularly nice but again people usually just pick food up for lunch. read more

It's not fancy, but it is good. I was going to order my usual Pad Thai with chicken but... what is that... they offer it with DUCK! Yes, please. Pad Thai with duck is excellent! Good flavor, lots of duck and the small pot of hot sauce really helped. The restaurant has a couple of tables, a handful of seats at a wrap-around counter and a cooler of sodas and drinks. read more

Love the Pad Tai and tam ka soup. Great service and clean restaurant. Prices are decent

A go-to lunch option while working in the city. The food is good, the staff is friendly and the service is quick! I always get the crispy chicken but it has changed and they now use frozen chicken fingers. I understand that adjustments had to be made during the pandemic but this significantly decreases the value of the meal. read more

I really like this place a lot. It's very cozy inside, although I always order take out. I've gotten a bunch of different lunch specials and I haven't had a bad one, really. Fyi Medium is really medium - a little too spicy for me but probably perfect for someone who likes spicy but not overwhelming ...the staff is always super nice and everything is priced very reasonably. read more

If you know, you know. Despite its unassuming nature, operating out of a small corner location with just a few tables and some counter seating by the window, Siam Bistro is undoubtedly one of the best Thai food spots in Boston. Over the years and now through a pandemic, nothing has changed about this special place. The quality of service is consistently high and its numerous signature dishes are infallibly delicious. The pad Thai there, and specifically the spicy basil pad Thai, is absolutely legendary. Upgrade to crispy chicken for an extra $1 and it's difficult to find a better fast-casual meal anywhere in the downtown area. The only pad Thai dish I'm aware of that even comes close to rivaling Siam Bistro's is the one at Empire in Seaport (and it's twice the price)! For someone with an average appetite, the generous portion sizes will leave you with another leftover serving for later. The restaurant also offers pickup and delivery, which drive the majority of their order volume. If you haven't had the opportunity to try Siam Bistro yet, you're missing out. Cancel your plans and go there ASAP. read more

This was a perfect choice for our last dinner in Boston before leaving for Tampa. We'd seen it a couple of times coming back from our daily tours. It's a short walk from the InterContinental Hotel. We crossed through the "Big Dig" park which had some wonderfully fragrant flowers blooming. The restaurant has 2 tables and some seating along the counter. It's mostly for take out orders but we decided to dine in. The atmosphere was actually quite nice for such a small restaurant. There were pictures of some of their specialties on the wall, and a refrigerated case with many types of drinks to choose from. I had the Eggplant Delight which came with thinly sliced chicken. It had a very tasty brown sauce and was very good overall. I'd order it again. My husband had the Beef Gra Pow which he asked to be at a very high chili hot spice level. They obliged with a warning which my husband is very familiar with. Apparently some people order it that way and then want to exchange it for something else because it's too hot. I don't know why people do that. One bad apple spoils it for the rest who appreciate Thai hot. Anyway, he was very happy with the spice level but said it could have been hotter. He's used to Thai hot. Either way, he was very happy with the flavor and portion of the dish. It definitely looked very good. My mother had the chicken noodle soup. It was a huge portion with lots of chicken. She couldn't eat it all. It was perfect for her. I also have to say that the service was very good. The young lady who took our order was so nice & friendly. It was a great experience. We wouldn't hesitate to go back if ever in Boston again. Don't pass it up thinking it's just a take out place. It's small, but they accommodate if there's seating available. read more

Some really good Thai, if you're not in a rush. The food is amazing. Seriously. Anything I've had has been great. BUT...... They are never quick and rarely operating at a reasonable speed. I recommend calling it in and showing up ten minutes late. They'd get another star if they moved with any sense of urgency or pretended to give a damn. The place is super small. Only plan on eating in during a non-peak time. But you'll still be waiting a while for your food. read more

Great food and fast service. I had the Mango curry with chicken and the Tom yum soup. It was the day of the Celtics victory parade and the restaurant was quiet. A few people did stop in for order pickup. As I was almost finishing my meal, more people started arriving and there was a line. Would definitely visit again when in the area. read more

My goto lunch place for Thai food while at work. This one is super crowded during lunch time and for a good reason, from my experience. They have various lunch mix n match dishes to chose from and the food closely matches their description in the menu.My favorite is the basil fried rice with tofu. This place is relatively small for a good dine-in luncheon and so take out is your best bet.I had a star off since its difficult to understand the staff speaking over the phone and my order never came out as spicy as I wanted it to be even though I explicitly state that I want it to be spicy. Other than the spice element(I really am into spicy food!), the food is quite flavorful. Tip: order ahead over phone or online to avoid the long wait during lunch hours. read more

This is a good place compared with other restaurants around this area. The portion is enough, not too much or too little. The food is always fresh, hot. If you like spicy, tell them to put extra because the mild or medium is nothing I used Ritual app to order in advance to avoid the waiting. They also give you a stamp every time you order, 10 stamps = 1 free lunch. They have seats and tables inside as well. read more

Really delicious Thai food that is consistently good. The chicken gra pow noodles go so hard!!!! Amazing and friendly staff :)

To be very forward, if you want DELICIOUS thai food in Boston- this is the place to go. The service is exceptional, and the food has so much flavor and texture that it really elevates the entire experience to a whole new level! I loved the appetizers here as they were generous with portion size. The balance of spice with curry sauce was well thought out so it is a very mellow experience. I say the food is best ate fresh, as doing take out or delivery, food can become warm and fried foods eventually become soggy with trapped moisture. Try this place out, there will be NO RAGRETS! read more

My company found this place maybe a little over a year ago doing an office lunch order. We all got the same thing (the Crispy Chicken Basil) and we loved it. Since then, just about once a week if we don't get it for lunch for the office, someone gets it for themselves, and this restaurant has been a staple for our company ever since. The service over UberEats has been great too since every time we ask for them to label something, they never miss a single label even with orders for over 20 people. read more

This is my go to place when I'm at work. Honestly , I always try and order on a Saturday and it breaks my heart that they aren't open However, I love the mango fried rice; it's so fresh and colorful. The crab ragoon is yummy especially with the pineapple dipping sauce they use. I like to pour it over my rice. The wings are yummy too. I've also had the veggie rolls and the thai basil rice. The thai basil rice was very spicy, I could barely handle it but it was still flavorful. I don't like pad thai, it's a texture thing for me. Any who, eat here, you'll love it! read more

Siam Bistro is actually a rather cute little place on a corner by the Greenway with two small tables and perhaps 10-12 seats set along a winding counter. My take-out order placed via Foodler was ready when I arrived, so I took it and went. I was provided with plastic fork and knife and napkins, but I had to request the chopsticks. In my plastic take-out container were two large scoops of brown rice (as requested) filling up perhaps half the space. The rest of the space was packed with large chunks of eggplant, slices of white meat chicken, onions, peppers (both red and green), yellow squash, and fresh basil leaves. The sauce was tasty, the chicken a little dry (yet not overly so), and the veggies retained a bite. After consuming just over half, I was well satiated for lunch. But wait... I had ordered the Eggplant Delight $9.95 because I was interested in getting something with eggplant and tofu that wasn't spicy. (Description verbatim from the menu: Sauteed chicken with peppers, onion, yellow bean curd, garlic, basil and eggplants) I guess it was a typo, with "bean curd" mistakenly typed in the place of "squash." Sad... so sad... And the price was a tad high for a regular lunch thing. read more
