We happened to be driving north on the Garden State Parkway, when I suggested that we stop for lunch. I knew Red Bank was a cute, bustling town, so I figured that it would be a good spot to find an appealing dining destination. As we were approaching the main street, I noticed Siam Paradise in the corner of an industrial building. We decided to give it a shot, but, as I pulled into the parking lot, we noticed that we barely had any cell service. I was able to see that the restaurant had only a 3.3 rating on Yelp, but I did not have a strong enough connection to dig deeper into why that was the case. I was a bit hesitant to go into the restaurant at that point, but we were already there and parked, so I decided to just try it. Well, I was so happy that I did! The restaurant was elaborately decorated with authentic, traditional adornments, which really added a level of credibility to the potential of the meal. The place was completely empty, which was a bit odd, and the air conditioner was barely perceptible. A ceiling fan helped a bit, but it was definitely on the warmer side, a fact that became increasingly challenging when we started eating our spicy food. Our server was a delight, and the menu offered a substantial variety of sauteed meals. I went with the Eggplant Garlic dish, which included basil leaves, bell peppers, eggplant, string beans, carrots, onions and mushrooms in their Siam Paradise chili paste and a basil garlic sauce. Instead of a protein, I just asked for Mixed Vegetables, which basically only added broccoli to the already veg-forward plate. I also asked to substitute brown rice for the included steamed white rice. My main course was fantastic! The vegetables were all very fresh and perfectly cooked, while the rich sauce was bold, spicy, and delicious. The brown rice was good as well. I also took a bite of my companion's Pad Khi Mau stir-fried flat noodles with bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, string beans, basil leaves, broccoli, and onions in that same Siam Paradise chili paste, but without the basil garlic sauce. It was a similarly tasty dish, but with a bit more heat and less marinade. We were very pleasantly surprised by our lunch at Siam Paradise and would gladly return. However, we would probably do so for dinner, as the food was pretty expensive for lunch. read more

My first attempt at actual authentic Thai food, I was not disappointed. The first step into the restaurant feels as if I was transported to Thailand. The decor was elaborate. The food: we started off with spring rolls, very tasty. I then had the Tom Ka Kung soup, what a great surprise. Just the right sweetness from the coconut milk and just the right amount of heat, not too spicy. Then the Panang Lamb arrived. OMG this was an amazing dish. The flavors were amazing. I got it with medium heat and it was perfect. Just the right amount to where you feel it but you want more. The lamb was cooked wonderfully and the vegetables had the right amount of tenderness. Unfortunately there wasn't any room left for dessert. I was surprised how empty it was, but all that meant was we had great service. Maybe the secret isn't out on this place. I will definitely add this to my list when I travel out here again (monthly). Give it a shot, I'm hoping you will be as surprised as I was. I had to give a shout out cause it was really good. read more

Siam Paradise Authentic Thai Restaurant - Panang Lamb - Thai Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

This place has gone downhill over the years. Made the mistake of giving them another chance recently. First of all they don't have heating inside the restaurant in the middle of winter. The food was below average and honestly tasteless and garbage. Then they had the audacity to add a credit card fee to the bill. Do not go here. Save your money. read more

We went to Siam palace during a pretty bad storm. We were grateful they were still Open as it was my daughter's birthday and she wanted Thai. We were hoping over to melting pot right after and this spot was right next door so conveniently located. We had been here before and liked it. When we arrived we were the only ones there but not surprising as the weather was horrendous and we were totally crazy for going anywhere in it. So the rest of this review is taking into consideration that they may have not been prepared and wanting to go home themselves. We were greeting promptly and sweetly. Food came out quickly. Everything we ordered tasted reheated. Thawed and not fresh. The spring roll was sticky. The only thing we had that seemed fresh was the Thai tea. The ambiance is very colorful with fake flowers everywhere. read more

We visited this restaurant on a cold Saturday afternoon. As far as ambiance goes, this place is on the nicer side. The staff was friendly and checked up on us regularly. We started with the gyow tod - ground chicken and corn wrapped in wonton skin. It resembled fried wontons and was nice and tasty. For my main dish, I ordered the pad khi mau - stir fried flat noodles with chicken. it was hot and spicy and hit the spot on a cold day. The prices aren't cheap but it's also not bad considering the quality and serving size. If you are craving Thai food in the area, this will do the job! read more

We thought the food was great. We had Pork , yellow chicken curry, Thai salad & spring rolls. Waiter was awfully nice & sweet. Very quiet. Room we were in was very colorful. Would definitely come back. read more

As soon as we entered Siam Paradise, I felt transported back in Thailand (I was there on vacation on 2003 and 2007). We were too early for our Star Trek event at the Count Bassie theater and decided to have an early dinner. I got the Pork pad khi mau and my buddy had Chicken pad-se-ew. Loving the big serving of the entrees and it taste delicious I expected a more for with Jeeb Thai khung for an appetizer. The taste was underwhelming. We didn't have the chance to order dessert since we were going be delayed for our night show. If I'm in Red Bank, NJ again, I will definitely return to try the other items on the menu ‍‍ read more

We used to love this place but tonight was a disappointment. My wife's curry had overcooked beef and undercooked eggplant. My Thai salad was mostly white iceberg lettuce and my granddaughter's Pad Thai was all stuck together. The bill included a 20 percent tip and an up charge for not paying in cash. We won't be going back read more

The place was dead. Food bland and small portion and pricey. Service awful. I had to get up to get waitress attention. Never checked on us. Never go back. So many other good restaurants in Redbank read more

My friend and I dined there for lunch last week. It was empty and we were the only ones there. It was overpriced for lunch, they do not offer lunch menu. Unfortunately, WE BOTH got horrible food poisoning for hours! Out of both ends. It's been days and we still haven't recovered fully. Worst experience ever. I have kidney disease and almost had to go to ER. I've tried calling both numbers to speak to the owner about our experience and no one answers the phone. read more

Beautiful interior, but alas, the quality of the dishes did not match the pricey price point: the mussels were not fresh, but chewy and tough, as if they were frozen beforehand. The service could have been a notch friendlier as well. read more

I don't know why this place doesn't garner more business during the week. We were the only couple in the whole place a couple of Thursday nights back. The food is so fresh and delicious, service is very attentive and you can't beat the atmosphere. Great place for date night:) read more

Went to this relatively Thai restaurant as I was in Red Bank and had fond memories of the Thai restaurant that had been in the same location before. Unfortunately that restaurant was better. Here, most of the dishes are amalgams of a protein covered with vegetables and doused with a spicy sauce. No subtlety to the preparation and the proteins were overcooked. Like most restaurants at the Jersey Shore, they are also understaffed. Beware, they charge a surcharge of 4% if you use a credit card or debit card. read more

Amazing food!!! My family and I love the food and service. It's a little pricier than some Thai places but when you try this place you'll know why. Excellent food with a fun ambiance!!! read more

Wow the atmosphere transports you back to when Asian restaurants used to be very decorative and authentic looking. I wish I took a picture because it was very welcoming and beautiful inside. I took my parents here because of the location and we were greeted immediately and brought to the main dining area. We were the only 3 people there, but midway through the meal another group of 3 arrived. The waitress was super attentive being that there were only 2 parties in the restaurant, but I noticed they do well with takeout because many people came to pick up food. We ordered the Gyow Tod, Paradise Spring Roll, Chicken Pad-Se-Ew, and Paradise Beef all to split. It had numbers on the menu, but you don't order by number. You just say the name of the dish. The food came promptly to the table and the Gyow Tod and Paradise Spring Roll were flavorful and the plum dipping sauce was a great addition to the dishes. The Chicken Pad-Se-Ew had so much flavor from the sauce of the noodle, sweet like I like it! When we ate the Paradise Beef we noted that the steak was a little too well done where it was chewy, but the rice was spicy and had a lot of flavors. The sauce was also too tangy to go with the beef in our opinion. Overall, the prices may be higher than what I am used to for Thai Food, but the atmosphere is inviting and fun, the portions are big for 3 people to split, and the service was great! I would recommend this place if you are looking for a good sit-down Thai restaurant. read more

Only a dinner menu. Too expensive for lunch. Left without ordering. Although I have eaten here before and the food is decent.

I don't mind spending money when the food is delicious. This place was expensive and the food wasn't flavorful at all. I don't like leaving bad reviews. But if this place is going to charge high prices- their chef needs to step up his game. Huge disappointment read more

Went on a Friday night. The restaurant is cozy and lavishly decorated. I had the shrimp with red curry. It was just as good as the curry I used to order in San Francisco. My dinner partner had duck and ate it all. The two appetizers we had were very tasty. It was truly an outstanding dinner. We will be back. What a shame that the place was empty. This restaurant needs to be discovered. It is definitely NOT overpriced. The food is high quality. read more

We used to come here when it was under the prior management and everything was super. We arrived around 7 pm and were surprised to see the place basically empty. The current chef seems to love to bury everything under a sticky sweet sauce and/or pineapple. Even the fried rice had pineapple. There was no plain Thai fried rice to be had, A girlfriend and I had ordered duck which was supposed to be crispy. But it was buried under so much sweet sauce, the duck was soggy. Then I cut into the duck and found fat and more fat and yet more. I must have found 2 bites of actual duck in my meal. My boyfriend ordered the Massamam curry which always has potatoes in it as a veggie. This one had none. Might have to bring our own potatoes if we ever come back here. The only positive thing was that the service was good. Of course, there were only 2 other people in the restaurant so they were not busy. Also, if you use a credit card, you will be charged an additional 4% for using it. read more

Way overpriced Thai food. While Thai food traditionally isn't cheap and add inflation in the mix you expect higher prices. But 20-22 dollars for a noodle dish like pad Thai seems exorbitant. A duck salad cost $22. However why I got was vegetarian duck. Not sure if it was by mistake but that's a pretty big difference in taste and price. When I got real duck it was ok but not great. It was also overdressed and thus extremely salty. Unfortunately given the prices and quality of food would not recommend this place. read more

I wanted to give this establishment a 3.5 but couldn't so a 4 it is. I moved out of NJ 4 yrs ago & only get back a few times a year. But I had not been back to Siam in app 5 yrs . I used to live within walking distance & got take out there quite often about 2/3 month . It was our go take out spot. Authentic Thai dishes. Food was always fresh hot well prepared & typically busy with diners. There fried rice was our favorite dish we both agreed with the selection of meats veggies or shrimp with the wet fried egg on top was Nevera disappointed .It's about the only thing we would order for a meal after awhile. I was paying the ex a visit recently & were going to go out for dinner but then gave her the option of grabbing a cocktail & app prior within walking distance to her house then serving her favorite fried rice meal from Siam at home & a movie after long days work . She was delighted So I called ahead for my pick-up. I had looked over the menu online & didn't see our old fried rice dish, when I enquired I was told they didn't serve that anymore & there were new owners as of 2 yrs ago .That didn't phase me as t took me about 3 min to fry some hot fresh wet eggs to top off the dish . But there missing the boat here the egg makes this dish amazing Although flavorful it is decidedly dry for me & I don't like adding some fried rice to my soy sauce . You can walk across street to China Moon for that Anyway I told her I'd be by at 6 to pick up & she remarked ready in 10 min ! Ten minutes ? I reiterated what I wanted 2 dinners one shrimp one chicken @21.00 each & not a few pints of rice. She politely confirmed my order. But then she proceed to tell me cash was one price cc another which I find just annoying.. sorry it's nickel & dime , It wasn't the $2.00 it' just annoys me I know why but it comes across petty little desperate but I'm sure necessary for a new operation in this climate & soaring food prices. So ....Just add it in to your pricing next time you print menus I picked up the order promptly at 6 & was taken back by the lack of customers maybe 4-5 & they walked in with me . Siam Garden was always bustling busy as I recall with a warmer classy atmosphere. Siam Palace well... is a little overstated . bBing shades if your going to eat in. Someone really likes orange & red there. But it's adorned with some really nice pieces. I got to Ms America's house she was starved & said let's just stay in & eat so I promptly cooked the fried eggs & 5 min later dinner was served. FYI There was nothing ( nothing) in the bag except the two tins of food.. However It was delicious with - My pineapple,e shrimp dish was quite tasty with 5 very well or prepared sweet xl shrimp along with what seemed less of the chunks of cooked pineapple. The chicken was moist & looked like it had been pulled & not chopped or incinerated in a boil .... with no fried egg on top my rating on the food would take a hit But it's actually better this way because of the delay from take out to actually eating even If they did bring it back I would only order it in or was eating directly after pick up That hot egg & yolk The servings were enormous We ate two plates each, one before Hagen Daz then another right after. But there was still a huge serving of chicken left & 3/4 of the Shrimp dish. I cherry picked all the Shrimp & pineapple (great combo by the way ) otherwise we could have fed 6 adults for 42.00 & some fried eggs. In the end we would def go back for take out for fried rice it is very good .if you gave me a choice go to Garden or Palace ? That's easy for me the old Garden but I have to give the new owners a lot of credit & respect .The only opened 2-3 months pre COVID & survived ! They are still there .. Major Kudos ! A very very difficult task. One that many established business weren't able to do it hows tremendous Planning discipline, commitment & execution I couldn't have floated my place for over a year...especially after just opening . No way I'm sure they will be there for awhile & will only sharpen up as they progress I recommend giving them a try Just don't forget your .20 egg read more

Great atmosphere and super delicious and quality food. Great service and authentic Thai environment. Definitely recommend !

We dined there last evening with the amazing server Chaya. We have not been there since the pandemic but sure glad we dined there. We love this place . We can honestly say the 4 of us who dined there and have all travelled to various places in Thailand thought the food was as good if not better. By far the best Thai in the area. The service was outstanding and the food was awesome. The flavors and spice perfect. We enjoyed apps, soups and entrees and all were delicious. Our daughter took her leftovers home and enjoyed today and said was just as good.. we are so happy to have gone back. I have already told 5 friends today to visit soon. The interior is beautifully decorated. We love this place and will visit often. Thank you Chaya for your service. This is a must visit !!! read more

food was good but like the other Thai restaurant in town the service was slow and inattentive
