Went here yesterday which was a mistake because a) it's was Christmas b) it's was way too busy. Waited roughly 30 mins to be seated, some of the foods I ordered wasn't good, uncooked white rice (had to wait 25 mins for white rice while my deep fried flounder come out first). I also ordered fish maw soup which was good & hot but the attitude of the server lady was very rude when I asked for green onion. She look at me and said "next time tell us when you order so I don't have to waste my time going back and forth" excuse me?? Yes I know you are busy due to the holiday however that is not how you as a server especially should treat ANY customers. Plus how am I supposed to know that the soup I ordered come with green onion or not? Very unprofessional and that is not how customer should be treated. I am paying for the services + the foods! read more

My family and I have been going here for years for our get togethers. The have quite a diverse menu of Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese dishes. Portions are large and the food is very consistent. Service is always great and the place is really packed on weekends. They have fresh, live tilapia, flounder, crab, and lobster in the tanks in the dining room. We typically order the family style Chinese dinners which come with soup, an assortment of entrees that you can pick from, and sweet taro tapioca for dessert. If you don't like any of the family dinner menu choices, substitutions are no problem! My family really likes their Pad Thai, fried whole chicken, and the Beef Tenderloin with Asian Greens. The fried tofu squares and Walnut Shrimp are really good too! The also have a nice bubble tea selection. Stop in for some tasty and fairly authentic Asian fusion nomz! Nomnomnom! read more

Siam Cafe has a vast menu. It is open Monday when most of AsiaTown is closed. Quality is consistent and takeout convenient. When we've dined in, pre-pandemic, the portions have been large and the service attentive. read more

I was concerned about working in Ohio for 3 weeks....mainly because I assumed there wasn't any good asian food here. Haha. My friend that lives out here told me about Siam Cafe and how great it is. I had to make the venture out to the GHETTO of eastside cleveland and check this place out. Holy crap, every asian person in Ohio was eating at Siam when I arrived. The place was packed on a Sunday night. That's always a good sign. The food was delicious! The menu is extensive and a bit confusing at first because they have a lot of Chinese dishes and then you see Pad Thai and Tom Yum Soup. I've never been to a restaurant with a mix of Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai food. But, let me tell you what I ordered: * Seafood, Tofu and Vegetable Soup. So comforting & delicious! * Chef's special, Live Flounder Fish Fried. Comes out with a sweet black sauce that you pour over it. It was perfectly cooked and had the right amount of seasoning. * Pad Thai was pretty stinking good and I've had a lot of pad thai! * Honey Walnut Shrimp. These shrimps were a good size. Juicy. * Mango Bubble Tea. Wish I got an extra order of this to go as a roadie. I would definitely recommend Siam Cafe if you're in the Cleveland area. You won't be disappointed! read more

I was flabbergasted by the cheap prices of the food and drinks here. Then I was blown away by the service--friendly, professional, attentive--and the food! Quite good, fresh, humongous portions. My only gripe is that I ordered one of the beef entrees and requested it to be very spicy. The dish already had a "spicy" denoter next to it and I made sure to tell them I wanted it hot, hot, hot! (I eat lots of Thai and West Indian food and have a steel palate...) NO spice whatsoever to my beef:( Although it was very tasty:) I would return here, especially if one of those days I'm looking to eat well on a dime! read more

I've been going to Siam Cafe since I was little. I've been there more times than I can remember, and the great quality hasn't changed. The servers are always kind and patient, and the dishes are packed with flavor. I'll list some of my favorite dishes below: - silken tofu on hot plate (a personal favorite) - fried pork - water spinach - eggplant in black bean sauce - lobster (we get this every single time, and the lobster is always fresh and coated in a delicious sauce) - mussels - honey walnut chicken (plated with lots of broccoli) - beef steak on hot plate drinks/dessert: - taro bubble tea (strawberry and coconut are also good) - mango mouse cake I do not recommend the red bean ice cream since the portion is extremely small, and the ice cream is icy. If you aren't given a complementary taro tapioca dessert soup after your meal, just ask! It's sweet and creamy with bits of taro. Siam Cafe has been consistently amazing over the years, and their food is always fresh and delicious! read more

Great place to grab Vietnamese or Chinese takeout. Dinning experience from the last visit before Covid was great as well.

This is a great spot for a quick dinner. Fast service and quality food! I got the veggie lo mein and the veggies are FRESH. It wasn't overly salty which is almost always the case. I may try a to-go order next time, because I know it will not disappoint. read more

The hours of this place blew me away. Open until midnight?! For real? On a Monday? Well okay then! Lol. I strolled up here and had a seat. The staff is well-dressed and friendly. The decor is simple and not overwhelming. I started off with 2 appetizers, the Siam Wings, wish are like... somehow boneless, but they look like a regular wing. They were very good! I also had the stuffed crab claw. Amazing. So rich and just tasted incredible. For dinner I had the Seafood Dynasty. I LOVED the sauce that everything was draped in and the portion was huge. I'm not a fan of squid of mussels so I just took those pieces out of my dish. I would definitely come here again! read more

The best simple Thai place in CLE and perhaps the best Pad Thai (with chicken & shrimp) I've had in the USA.

I can see why this place is so popular, they have a huge menu and everything I've tried has been pretty good. You can find Vietnamese, Thai and various Chinese cuisines here, especially Cantonese and American-Chinese. The braised pork belly with taro is heavy and hearty, and I found it funny that a whole table of Chinese men were looking at me and laughing when it was placed in front of me. It's a huge bowl and there was no way I could eat it all. The pork melts in your mouth, and is very fatty...but why else would you want pork belly!? The taro is necessary here as it helps to cut the richness, and provides a nice texture and flavor as well. The fried pork chop with spiced salt is really good, but I was expecting more spice and salt. It was a little bland, but was still nice. My wife ordered pho, which I had doubts about since it's a mostly Chinese menu. She really enjoyed the pho, which is an indication of quality because she is Vietnamese and very critical about her food. She has also tried the Hu Tieu My Tho, which she wasn't a fan of. As for drinks, the jackfruit smoothie is really good, but the Thai Iced tea was a little bland. I recommend Siam, it's good for families, lovers of authentic Asian food and newbies to the scene as well. read more

Super excited to eat here today, but the service was not what im used to at this restaurant. I have come here for many years, and chose here of all places on my birthday. But I did NOT feel kindness from THE female staff. The males, yes, but the females were rude and belittling and condescending. The owners wife came around to ask if everything was ok, but never came to my table...and I have known her for years. I guess she didnt recognize me. But she seemed to have the same spirit as the female servers. I NEVER even got a water refill...and was there over and hour...I was even asked if I wanted a water refill...but NEVER got it...until the male server came back. Made me sad...cuz I have considered this to be my favorite restaurant for a long time. BUT NOW I will reconsider. But the food was great. read more

I have been eating here for 25 years and travel the world for business and pleasure. I have eaten Tai, Vietnamese, Cambodian and Chinese all over the world. This place is still my favorite... The dishes are fresh and cooked to order. The dishes are authentic.. Live seafood including sea bass, flounder, lobster and crab. Put it this way-- the Asian Americans come here from all over the region. You won't find better. And the family that owns it are the best! 10 out of 10. Anyone who gives it less is just looking for something to bitch about.. So caution to the to the timid... This place specializes inauthentic food. The do have the boring, Americanized Chinese for the chickens out there. Sweet and sour, general Taos, won ton, blah blah blah.. And everyone on here who rates this place one or 2 stars seems to order this stuff. This is NOT their speciality because it is American food. Be brave. All the chefs specials are good. All the curries are authentic. The noodle dishes are wonderful. And if you are very brave, experiment with some of the very traditional pot dishes. read more

People rave about this place, and every time I've been here the parking lot is packed. I just don't get the hype. The service is terrible and the food is soooo salty. They never bring all the food at the same time. Ex. we ordered 3 orders of spring rolls. One showed up and 10 minutes later the other 2 came, after we asked where they were. Two people in my party ordered Cashew Nut Chicken which is supposed to come with rice. After asking twice for rice, it showed up 20 minutes after the meal was served. We were a party of 5, and each of our meals were served at a different time over the span of about 15 minutes. Ridiculous. I won't be back. read more

I was actually a bit dissapointed with our visit to Siams. The service was terrible and the food was meh. We started with the coconut soup and it was over cooked making the coconut milk be chunky and lacked any type of flavor. We actually sent it back. Then we got a variety of different dishes to try. The shrimp low main was flavorless and boring. The paradise shrimp was actually pretty tasty. This weird red and white dish. The red was sweet n sour, it was okay. The white side was really bad. I don't even know what kind of sauce it was. But, it had the constancy of snot and had absolutely no flavor at all. The spicy shrimp, veggies and scallops weren't bad. The sad part was, they cut all of the scallops into thirds. So, for a $20 dish. I got about 2 scallops. The black forest cake was boring. You could taste it came out of a box. All in all. Not a good experience. I don't think we'll be going back. read more

I've had mixed experiences at this restaurant. I've gone with friends and thought the food was quite tasty. The place does attract a decent Asian clientele, though not as much as Wonton Gourmet. On the other hand... - We ordered a tofu dish and a fish dish once, and when they came out, we realized that the fish dish was prepared in a virtually identical fashion as the tofu dish (except for the few pieces of fish, of course). Yes, they were in two different parts of the menu and had very different names. No, they did not warn us when we ordered it. - I went once with my parents and ordered a whole fish. The fish came out in about 5 minutes, and the middle of the fish was cold. When we complained, the waitstaff refused to believe that they could possibly undercook the fish, and started arguing with us. My parents got extremely annoyed and forced them to send the dish back. They ignored us for the rest of the time we were there and never apologized. I guess you could be lucky, or not. read more

I at least visit Siam cafe once a month. There are variety of food here. Their food is quite authentic. Not only you can choose American Chinese food from the menu but also authentic Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese food. The waiter and waitress are very friendly also. Especially love their operational time. Which Asian restaurant beside Chinese take out opened this late. I personally hope they can open 24 hr. Casino is not far away from Siam cafe. They can have late night business. I think it is the top 10 best Chinese restaurant in Cleveland. I didn't give 5 stars for a reason. I hope they can change their carpet. It's a little bit old and dark. read more

I like this place for celebrating group occasions, lots of big circle tables with a lazy susan to share a variety of dishes. Plus they have a private parking lot which is a big thing for me. So are bathrooms, and unfortunately Siam, I think you can update or clean these guys a bit better. The food is the reason why I keep coming back though. It's one of my top 3 Asian restaurants here in CLE. They offer Chinese and Thai cuisine, with an excellent selection. The menu is laid out according to the type of food you crave: soup, poultry, noodle, seafood, vegetarian, chef specialties etc. From my most recent visit, I ordered green curry chicken which had a red chili pepper next to it on the menu. Knowing this place cooks a lot of Thai fare, I was expecting a little more beads of sweat to form on my forehead. In fact, I barely tasted any spiciness in it at all, so for those of you who don't like spicy food, I would give this a go. It's made with coconut milk and mixed with eggplant, squash and green bean. The dish was plentiful to make leftovers my lunch the next day. The dish does come with white rice, however, in a party of four, we were given one small bowel of community rice to split As for service, friendly as hell, and the manager on site, Henry, always strolls around to ensure everyone is enjoying their experience. I will admit the service is a little slow and they forget things at times. Regardless, the food is excellent and that's what keeps me coming back. PS, love their pad thai! read more

I have been coming to Siam for years. This place is a hit or miss. I noticed the food quality can decrease when the restaurant is at full capacity. Even with that said, this probably is one of the few good quality Chinese restaurants in "Chinatown". I actually have not dined at Siam for a few months, so when a group of friends wanted to meet up for dinner, I was looking forward to the meal. We had a group of 9, so we thought it was easier and more economical to order from the already prepared family style dinner menu. It was a good combination of pork, chicken, seafood and beef. The simple noodle dish had stir fry thin noodles and some bean sprouts. Yum. I enjoyed the seafood the most. Seafood included a soup, lobster and a seafood hot pot. Dessert was tapioca with taro, unfortunately my bowl lacked the taro. Dessert is normally free, but sometimes you have to ask for it! My other all time favorite dishes is the snow pea pods, clams with black bean sauce, beef with wide rice noodles and the ground basil chicken. Come with a group of friends, so you can enjoy a little of everything! :) read more

This is some of the best Asian food in Cleveland. Whether you eat in or take out, the food is wonderful. The veggies always taste fresh and any dish I have had has been cooked perfectly.

Went here for a quick bite to eat for lunch while working in the area. The resturant was busy, the staff was very friendly but did not speak much english. The menu itself is massive i did not get to read even half of it because we were short on time. The apps all came out quickly and were fresh and flavorful and all the dipping sauces were delicious. Mains were close behind, all the portions were huge, noodles were all very well prepared and seasoning was on point. All 5 of us loved are dishes and hope to be back in the area soon for round 2. read more

Made the mistake of ordering Chinese dishes from a Thai restaurant. Simply not very Chinese. Ordered Peking Duck which were actually thick slabs duck meat with a couple of chive frones in puffy pancakes. The duck was tasty, well prepared and probably would have made a good meal as ...duck. Chicken fried rice was simpy shreaded chicken in rice that seemed more boiled then fried. There was a good amount of chicken, very little spice or seasoned. read more

Was absolutely terrible food. I really want to love Siam Cafe as a few friends rave about it but the best meal here (4 so far) was mediocre at best. I know it was St Pattys day and late (10-11pm) but the quality of the food was pretty much inedible. The flavoring in the pepper short ribs was pure strong pepper and paste but the "meat" was only rubbery, chewy fat/frizzle around a bone. The texture was beyond weird. The duck (red curry) coo chee's sauce was watered down to essentially no taste (running low late night and trying to make it last? Shame on you) and the duck tasted strong & slightly rancid (like over the expiration date poultry becomes). I actually had to stop at BK bc I was still hungry, lol read more

Celebrated Chinese New Year at 5th is place while visiting Cleveland. I was lucky to have a friend who speaks mandarin with me and the food choices were great. We shared, Grounded Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Shrimp with Fried Custard and Rice Cake Sliced with Chinese Sausage.

It was a very pleasant surprise to find this place through some chinese friends I work with. They were very happy that we could not a chance to eat at a local american buffet! It is actually a very decent place for being so far away from downtown. And they were full at lunch time. I had ordered some vegetarian food and it was delicious. The wait staff was very delightful and attentive. It was one of the best chinese food I had in long time. I am sure I am going to make many more trips to this place in the future looking for the delicious food. read more

Consistently good food. Atmosphere is much to be desired - little plain, neighborhood not great, but the food is always good, large portions, flavorful, fresh/hot. Favorite is the Pad Thai. Moved away from the area about 13 years ago, and return to see family annually, so I am always comparing Pad Thai to other restaurants, and none can compare. Great noodles, right proportion of eggs, scallion, shrimp, chicken, nuts and sauce. Beijing Pork Chop is another great choice, sort of sweet and sour dish, but pork on segments of bone. Fried pork twisted and holds sauce well, better than nugget dishes. Siam Cafe is a great choice in Cleveland, and competes well if not better w/ similar places we have tried in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts. read more

I have to drop the star level, the food has been a little off lately. The food is always good, but the last few times the service has been annoying. They forgot one of my dishes and it seemed like an act of god to get some cilantro. The soup we ordered was luke warm, leaving the shrimp partially cooked, it was brought back a bit warmer but not very spicy.when your nose is as stuffed as mine you need it really spicy. read more

Authentic Cantonese restaurant. I tried six different dishes and my favorites were the pork with wide rice noodle dish and the basil chicken. The fish soup was sort of like an adventurous version of egg drop and it was also good. I found the ginger chicken a bit bland. I don't think it was a faulty preparation but just not my favorite flavors. The snow pea greens were tasty. The portions are generous and the food is very affordable. We spent less than 15$ per person and we still had leftovers to take home. The ambiance is casual and each table has a lazy susan and there's about 20 parking spots in their attached lot. No issues with service on my first dining experience here, they treated our seven person group well but we did have native Cantonese speakers amongst our group. read more

Review update. I think that since I last reviewed siam, there are plenty of other great Chinese food options in Cleveland, or even Asiatown. It's still a decent go-to, especially for huge groups of people, but we have been frequenting it less and less. Their banquet menu really is a steal though. Ask for the "family dinners" if you have a group of 8-10. We usually go with the family dinner for 6. If you have 8-10 people, it comes down to $10-12/person. In addition to the family dinner, I would order the pork hock (in the pictures) because it is so tender and flavorful. It's a dish unique to the other Chinese restaurants here (I think) and that's the one thing I would definitely come for in the future. read more
