Siam Smiles is located in a little strip mall on Hwy 34 in Matawan. It's changed names and owners a couple of times, and has managed to remain a very good place for authentic Thai. Prior to Siam Smiles, it was called "Noodles and More." Based on the name, I don't think it was obvoius to the masses that it was Thai. The restaurant is very small, maybe ten tables at most. The people there are friendly, but there can sometimes be a language barrier. It's BYO with a liquor store right in the same strip mall. The menu is pretty basic..All the classic Thai dishes are there and very reasonably priced. The food itself is fresh and authentic. Great flavors. Every once in a while the beef or shrimp is overcooked, but typically the food is consistently good. If you crave reasonably priced authentic Thai and don't mind the lack of ambience, Siam smiles fits the bill. read more

Awesome to know there is a go to Thai restaurant around here. Place is quaint and does a solid pad Thai. Nothing that will really blow you away but pleasant staff and worth checking out if you want authentic Thai food. read more

Loved this place! The food was delish- the place was quiet and comfortable- staff was excellent. We will definitely return soon!

Definitely our favorite Thai in all of the Tristate area. The food is amazing and we are happy to support a wonderful family-owned restaurant. Do not miss out on this Jersey gem if you are into Thai food! read more

wow. wow. wow. We used to frequent Cafe de Thai almost weekly. It used to be such a gem. When siam first opened, we went there. the service had been flustered and very bad. there were 6 of us and every single one of our dishes came at separate times! so.... almost half a year later, we decided to go back for another try. this time there was 6 of us. What a difference. The food was delicious and i was very particular about my dish being light and not greasy/heavy. They accomodated every request with smiles and a great hope to please. The service was excellent ... again, food was GREAT. it is not your typical grease spot. the food is healthy, light and very delicious! the people are really nice and pleasant. read more

Great thai place. Food is delicious. Pad thai, yellow curry chicken and Tom Ka soup were all wonderful. Will be back. It's run by a family that are warm and friendly. read more

Excellent thai food for sit down or takeout. Nice cozy and relaxing setting once inside. Everything I've had there has been outstanding. My favorite is the green curry. If you're not a fan of spicy, stress MILD. read more

My favorite thai restaurant. Awesome food, great atmosphere, very nice owners and staff.

Great place with delicious food. Consistly good, but sometimes a longer wait then expected. My go-to Thai place.

Good food at a good price. Siam Smiles is a family run restaurant that never disappoints.

My boyfriend and I tried this place for the first time last night. We enjoyed the great food and service. We had the curry puffs and shrimp and scallop dumplings for appetizer. The curry puffs were amazing. The dumplings were okay, I wasn't crazy about them. My boyfriend had a hot & sour type soup and some crispy pork dish that had string beans and carrots and I had the pad thai. That was all very delicious! For dessert we had sticky rice with vanilla ice cream and it too was very yummy. I would have given 5 stars, but bc I didn't love the dumplings I will give it a 4. Also, the place is small, but super cute. We will definitely be going back. :) read more

Been going here for years. Best Thai food I've had in central jersey. Pad Thai and curries are delicious.

Just got back from another great meal at Siam Smiles. Living in NYC, I can honestly say that you'd be hard pressed to find a thai restaurant there that tastes as good as S.S. I wandered in here with my wife a couple weeks ago while in town and just had to take my parents here as well. They were also impressed with how tasty and fresh everything was. In particular, we ordered a special order of green mussels which were tasty, the tom yum soup is legit. The pad thai and siam noodles were both delicious. Tasty, spicy and with the perfect blend of authentic thai flavors. I am not sure what the last person was speaking of with respect to the "lack luster" service, but from what we've experienced, the restaurant seems to be family owned and service has always been very hospitable. In any case, I would say this restaurant is well worth a visit. Or at the very least, a delivery order! Oh the curries are great as well, I have tried both the massaman and panang. Both delicious. Thai iced teas are great as well, not too sweet. First time writing a review, because I think Siam deserves much more business, it's truly a hidden gem in Jersey! read more

Great food. Always cooked to order. This restaurant is the best kept secret. I give it a five star rating.

Small family run restaurant with a very friendly owner. The dishes have a great home made taste to them and are less greasy than other Thai restaurants I've been to, while still maintaining flavor. Every dish I've tried here is very good! read more

I love Siam Smiles. Best thai food in the area. I especially love the Massaman Curry, Pad Pree Wan, Curry Puffs,,,, and the salad is amazing!!! read more

My favorite Thai place! The food is always so well prepared, and the service is amazing! The staff is always very attentive, friendly, and kind. Highly recommend this place! read more

My wife and l live in Aberdeen NJ and love Thai food. While we liked Cafe de Thai, we LOVE Siam Smiles, the new Thai restaurant that replaced Cafe de Thai. This is some of the best tasting Thai food that we have ever eaten, and that includes several places that we have eaten at in Manhattan and North Jersey. We have eaten at Siam Smiles around 8-10 times so far, and we have never had a dish that we didn't like! This includes the curries and the noodle dishes as well as the listed "entrees." Also note that portions are copious, prices are reasonable, service is friendly, and you can have brown rice instead of white rice if you want. BYOB. read more

Worst experience. DO NOT go here for lunch. There is one harried waitress (the owner) serving the entire restaurant - the last time I was here we waited for an hour for our food to arrive. This time the food was literally shoved on the table as if they were doing us a favor! The orders were screwed up (no tofu in two dishes), the portions have become non existent so we came out of the restaurant still hungry!! Complaining didnt help either - the attitude was take it or leave it. What a shame - this place used to be our favorite haunt -- now I'm not going back. read more

I had food taken out from there yesterday. However, I didn't find it tasty at all and the quantity was so less. It was too expensive for the amount for the food they gave. The place has no ambiance and the food was horrible. I would never recommend this place to anyone as it is not worth it. read more

Lunch specials are good. Food tastes very healthy and not overly greasy. Has a nice kick. Not as spicy as most Thai places.

Excellent food, great vibes, polite and friendly service. I've been here many times and each time I try a new dish I am never disappointed.

Great little family run Thai restaurant. Every meal I ever had there was made to order. It may not be run by professional executive restaurantuers but that's what gives it it's charm. read more

LOVE! My favorite restaurant in the Aberdeen-Matawan area. I am so picky about Thai food, but this place is fantastic. I always order the Pad See Ew. The service is great and take out is fast. read more

WOW!!!! This is the best Thai I have ever been to!!!! We started with the Shrimp spring rolls, amazing and the green sauce was to die for!!! ,and Shimp and scallops dumplings. The Thai iced tea was very, very good and authentic! Our main courses were the house salad with peanut dressing, scallop curry(thai hot), triple delight, Pad See Ew and Ped Rag Prig also Thai hot!!!! Dessert we went with Mango with sticky rice and coconut milk, fried cheesecake, green tea ice cream and fried banana with ice cream!!!! Everything we had was of the highest quality and freshest ingredients and most importantly made with love!!! The service was very friendly and the prices were great!!!! Siam Smiles is the best!!! read more

This is my first and last time I will eat here. I made a simple request. I asked for clear noodle with my Pad Thai and they told me it wouldn't work with this dish. I found that odd because EVERY Thai restaurant I've eaten at for the last 30+ years makes it that way for me. Extremely disappointing. Thanks Obama! What ever happen to "please the customer" or "the customer is always right." read more

So good! It takes a while for the food to come out but when you bite in you know it's fresh!

Fantastic little thai restaurant off of Rt. 34 on the southbound side. Authentic yet creative dishes and friendly staff. We are regulars here and frequent several times per month, as prices are reasonable. Definitely worth trying. read more

This our second time eating at this restaurant. Food and service is exceptional. Family owned and operated with the sons taking the orders and the mother in the kitchen cooking fantastic food. You can taste all the ingredients. Portions are large and delicious. If you eat at Thai Thai in Old Bridge forgot that place and come here. You will see the difference. read more

A great little place. The food is excellent, wifey always gets the pad thai and i mix it up a little, but we have never had anything but great food here. I think its kinda of nice to have a thai place that doesn't have chinese people making the food. at least I don't think they are chinese.( since i am), so it makes me feel like the food is more authentic. I love the curry puffs they make and the spring rolls are awesome. read more

We love Siam Smiles. The food is always fantastic. Get the Shrimp and Scallop dumplings!

Customer for 7 years.. best homemade thai food that you can get around here. Spices balanced.. quantity sufficient. Friendly service. What more can one ask. read more

wonderful family-run thai place. Our family comes here a couple times a week for our thai fix. The food is consistent and delicious. One of the few thai places where really spicy means REALLY spicy, which we love. The curries are delicious, the tom yum sum is a mind-blowing explosion of flavors that i'd recommend to everyone who comes through the door. though the location is non-descript, in a strip mall, the flavorful food and friendly owners make this BYOB our go-to place for dining out. bring your favorite bottle(s) of wine, order some great food, and have a great night. read more

The best Thai food around. The staff is so nice and the food is delicous! The Pad Se-ew is the best i have ever had and believe me i have had a lot! The appetizers are equally delicious. The Satay, dumplings and Spring Rolls are great. Even the take out is awesome and they give you big portions Deffinitely a place to check out, i recommend it! read more

Wonderful restuarant. The food is always perfect and delicious. The hot and sour soup and curry puffs are are yummy. We are there once a week. The owners are such nice people. They make you feel like family. Such a great value. Quality of food is excellent. When my children visit from out of state it's always their first choice for dinner. Great family place. Appetizers, entrees and deserts are all perfection. Can't say enough about this gem. read more

Love it. Authentic Thai home cooking. The food is amazing, the ambience is private and hassle free, nicely priced and BYOB. I'll missed it when I'll move to Florida next year. I highly recommend it. read more

Went in famished, walked out dissatisfied. There was a single waitress, waiting all the tables, doing the carry-outs, and the bills to boot. The waitress was so harrowed we felt bad to ask her for anything, including a water refill.There was a mix-up of dishes after a prolonged wait, and the portions have become smaller. This used to be a good restaurant but good things seem to be fading fast. read more

Ordered pad thai which was horrible not authentic. Ordered some other tofu dish which had no flavor. Overall would not recommend this place. Sorry for the bad review but I just don't find the food to be good considering other options in the area read more

Food is excellent!!!! Everything is super fresh and flavorful....food is so good it is now one of my kids favorite places to eat!!!! Love that it is family run. Always perfectly cooked and on point, whether you eat in or take out, a must try!!! read more
