    Entrance

    The service was great, and the manager was very personable, visiting all of the tables. They added an extra item to our receipt but were happy and quick to correct it when we pointed it out. The decor is stunning, very colorful and immersive. The food was delicious, Anand we had an excellent time.

    Place setting

    Beautiful restaurant with lots of cultural decor. We experienced wonderful service from start to finish. I ordered my go to crab fried rice. It was amazing. My food came out hot, portions were a good size for the price and lots of crab in it. I love they gave enough crab for every bite. The food presentation was lovely as well. The table and booth seating was clean (I didn't notice any crumbs in cushion). We were able to pay at the table individually with no problem. It's definitely in the $17-30 per person range but it's quality and comfort food. Great Thai spot!

    Look at these beautiful floral rolls!

    I thoroughly enjoyed my solo dining experience here over Memorial weekend. The service was kind and attentive. The space itself is lovely with lots of faux flowers, twinkle lights and pretty touches. I am a sucker for fresh flower garnishes --the fresh Thai rolls had delicate flowers wrapped inside! The drunken noodles were delicious and light enough that I polished it off without leftovers. I love the gold plates and the little robot waiter is a fun touch. Easy parking in the big shopping by center. Would definitely come back.

    Beautiful decor, nice vibe, great food and friendly service! Bookmark this place for my favorite Thai restaurant. The portions are generous and served with stylish dishes. Tastes are right on spot. Will definitely come back to try out more of their dishes.

    Sunrise Salad with chicken satay and crab fried rice in the background
    Wendy G.

    Came here craving meat, but ended up being wowed even more by the veg! Beautiful decor abounds at Siam Nara, from the hanging flora (plastic, but stylishly arranged) to golden Thai ornamentation as well as Christmas accoutrements - I enjoyed the eclectic ambiance from the moment we walked in. The menu is extensive, and the attention to style detail extends to the golden plates, intricately decorated sauce containers and lovely finishing touches such as fresh orchids arrayed atop our entrees. The Sunrise Salad was excellent, featuring a sweet and tangy combination of julienned mango, onion, lettuce, tomato, cilantro and cashews held together with fresh fish sauce and lime. It would have been even better with a bit of spice. The protein was fried shrimp, which unfortunately was way too thickly breaded for me so I'd skip that component next time. We also got the chicken satay, which had a generous portion of tender, juicy, gently curried chicken paired with peanut satay and a light cucumber sauce. Yum! There are many more intriguing menu options (tamarind shrimp, massaman beef, oh my!) that I can't wait to try in the future!

    The food at Siam Nara is so flavorful and beautifully presented. Servers are attentive and helpful. The restaurant is so pretty - full of Thai decor and colorful flowers.

    Som Tum Thai with Salted Crab
    Tracy L.

    QUICK TAKE// Delicious, aesthetically plated Thai food that is a solid spot for Mira Mesa. FOOD// We got the SOM TUM WITH SALTED CRAB as an appetizer which is like a green papaya salad with som whole mini crabs in them. Honestly I wasn't sure how to eat the crabs so I just focused on the salad. I would probably just go with the the regular Som Tum next time - otherwise very delicious salad and nice lighter/fresher appetizer. We also go the GREEN CURRY and added mock duck in there - very delicious! My personal highlight was the KHAO SOI WITH DUCK - the portion was huge (definitely explains the $25.99 price) and it is for sure a shareable dish. SERVICE// We went at like a 7pm on a Tuesday night and there were quite a few tables and very few servers. While it did take a while to get our waters initially, once the food order was put in, everything came fairly quickly VIBES// Really aesthetic restaurant! I will also say the food presentation for all of their dishes really added to the theme of the restaurant. Would definitely be a restaurant I would take friends or family for a "nicer" Thai experience. I had heard they had done a major renovation and boyfriend said it has really come a long way from its previous looks.

    Mango Sticky Rice
    Shirley O.

    The food was good and tasty. I had the mango soda, tom kah soup, pad thai crab and mango sticky rice. The soup was comforting and was creamy, sweet, sour and savory. The pad thai was well made, but the sauce needed more depth. Dessert was very good. It was not too sweet and the mango was fresh and perfectly ripe. Service in the beginning was attentive and friendly and the owner took our order. However, it was a busy Saturday night and there wasn't enough wait staff. We had to flag the staff a few times to clear our table, bring our desserts and pay for our meal. The ambiance is comfortable and casual.

    Platter
    Jan H.

    This is a hidden gem and I don't know why I haven't written a review sooner. I have gone here several times both with a small group, and with very large groups. I love the crab Pad Thai, the Thai iced tea, and the mango sticky rice are all a go-to for me. We've also tried the platters which are very good, and several of the fish dishes. The fish that comes with The Tamarind sauce is crispy and tasty. We also love their Drunken Noodles. I love coming here and doing family style so we can try several different dishes, and I highly recommend doing that so you can taste a variety of things. I honestly can't say I've had a bad dish here, but I think the crab fried rice could use a little bit more flavor as it's a bit bland. The staff is always very nice and accommodating. The owner is often there and she will come and check on you to see how you are doing and if you are liking the food. Even with a very large party they can accommodate Separate checks which is very rare these days. I love the decor with all of the colorful flowers, an the gold statues. The gold dishes and fancy platters and cups are also a nice touch. They have one of those little robots that delivers the food to the table. It's named Bella Bot and sometimes talks, which is cute. Overall this is one of my favorite Thai restaurants, and I try to get there at least every few months. I would recommend checking it out, I've not heard anyone say that they dislike it.

    My office colleagues wanted to try out some authentic Thai food. With a quick Yelp search, we were able to find Siam Nara in Mira Mesa. We were able to get a reservation for 20 people. As soon as we arrived, we were able to find parking without any issues. Once we entered the restaurant, we were seated without any delays. The ambiance of the restaurant was so nice. The decor was inspired by Thai culture. For food - I got the spicy basil vegan fried rice with veggies. My friend got the shrimp fried rice. They served us some delicious soup and salad for starters. This was all complimentary and extremely delicious. My food came out pretty quickly. The portion size was big. Also, it was in a beautiful golden platter. My friend's fried rice was in a real pineapple. The presentation was top notch. Both the dishes were yummy and rich in flavor. Everything about the place was authentic. Also, the staff is mostly traditional Thai. I highly recommend checking out this place!

    Siam Nara was such a special, delicious, and beautiful treat! Popped in for dinner after birthday drinks with friends, and wow, it's just so gorgeous inside! Truly a touch of escapism. Each dish we ordered was delightful, and the service was prompt, despite the busy Saturday night. Looking forward to returning and trying something new!

    The portions were fair given the price, food was tasty, and the presentation was beautiful. Ambiance was charming with colors of gold, red, and floral touches. Service was kind, and you kind of have to nudge them, but they were polite.

    I don't usually leave reviews, but I wanted to share my experience dining here with my family…read more The evening started off great. The staff was friendly when we arrived, we were seated quickly, received our drinks promptly, and our food came out fast. The music was enjoyable, the ambiance was nice, and the restaurant had a modern, welcoming feel. Most importantly, the food was excellent. Everything we ordered was delicious, and my kids couldn't stop talking about the crispy pork belly. Honestly, the food itself was 5-star quality. The issue was what happened as the restaurant approached closing time. About 10-15 minutes after we started eating, a staff member brought our check and asked us to pay even though we were still waiting on two mango sticky rice desserts that had not yet been served. I politely explained that we hadn't received all of our food yet, so it didn't make sense to close out the bill. The desserts were brought out shortly afterward. A different employee then returned and again asked us to close out the check, assuring us that we could continue eating while they finished closing. Although I was hesitant, I paid and explained that I would leave a cash tip after we finished since we were still dining. Unfortunately, from that point on, the service noticeably changed. No one checked on our table, our water glasses were never refilled, and the staff seemed focused on cleaning around us. The booth behind us was being cleaned very loudly while we were still trying to enjoy our meal. It made us feel rushed and unwelcome, and honestly took away from an otherwise great dinner. When I asked for containers for our leftovers, the interaction felt cold and standoffish compared to the friendly service we received earlier in the evening. My suggestion would be that if the restaurant is close to closing and doesn't want guests dining in, they should clearly communicate that and switch to takeout only. The food was genuinely delicious, and I would come back again--but not near closing time. Great food, disappointing end to the evening.

We ordered 4 dishes to share, the wasabi scallop ceviche, crispy baby crab, braised beef panang, and crab fried rice. The ceviche was definitely one of my favorites. Super flavorful, fresh, with the perfect amount of wasabi. The crispy baby crab was savory and easy to eat, especially since you're eating the whole crab, shell and all. The curry in the braised beef panang was so addicting, I couldn't stop eating it. The crab fried rice was tasty and filling. For dessert we got the mango sticky rice. The mangoes were fresh and sweet. Overall pretty standard but still yummy. Service was friendly, helpful and attentive. All the food came out in the timely manner.

I went with one of my girlfriends tonight at about 5:30 PM. We were quickly seated. I ordered a mango lemonade, which came out quite fast and was beautiful. It tasted pretty good too. I asked the server for recommendations on the menu, but she seemed startled by my question, like she was not used to giving recommendations. The two items that she did recommend didn't really sound appealing so I went with Pad See Ew with mock duck. That's one of my go to dishes at a Thai restaurant. I asked not to have any spice level added to my food, but the food came out and was just generally lacking flavor. It was very bland and even though there was a generous portion of vegetables in the dish the mock duck was super mushy. All the places I've ever been to it's sautéed crispy. Also, the the noodles were all stuck together. Like if you put noodles in water to let it boil, but you don't stir them and they just boil like that in a clump. The restaurant was very cute inside. I would be open to trying it again just because I've heard so many good things that I can't believe this is their standard experience.

When we ordered, our server took the time to explain their spice scale (1-5), letting us know that a 1 is already about a medium spice level. We settled on mostly 2-3, but wow--the Thum Khao Poon (shredded green papaya salad) still packed some serious heat! Even my spice-loving kids were challenged. The server also gave us a heads-up that it's very fish-forward in flavor, which we appreciated and happened to love. The absolute standout of the meal was the Nam Khao Tod. It was hands down the family favorite--crispy coconut rice with pork sausage, crunchy peanuts, fresh herbs, and so many incredible textures and flavors in every bite. We could have ordered a second plate! We also had the Drunken Noodles with chicken, which were slightly oily in the best possible way, making them extra rich and delicious. The Chef's Special Basil Stir Fry with Crispy Pork was another winner. Our server brought over a chili vinegar that elevated the crispy pork to a whole new level--it was so good drizzled over every bite.

It's become our go-to spot for Thai takeout over the past few years since it's close to home, and the food has always been consistently delicious.
