Soo cute! Surprisingly a lot of asian restaraunts in this small plaza, turn in right before you see McDonald's, past the business looking buildings. Not that much parking. We luckily got in right before the rush. Because the place is small, the waiters are super attentive. My eyes tend to wander and accidently made eye contact and they immediately came lolol. Tried the pad thai- not too sweet, decent portion. Chicken okay, not dry. Fried well but not wok hei. Got the papaya salad myself- less pungent and more lemon mix. Its good for a western palate, they do have a lao version too. Not spicy at all [ they did have individually wrapped chilis if you ask) ]. The papaya was a nice crunch and tender, with some vinegar flavor. I liked the sweetness of the green beans. Wish it had more peanuts hehe. Mango sticky rice- great flavor and mangos were perfect ( in season) not overly ripe or spur. Only thing was the sticky rice was long grain. But quite pretty. Overall the prices are a little cheaper than other Thai restaraunts in the area, very attentive staff ( Square cc system with 18% base tip), and portions are decent. Limited seating both inside and outside so it will fill up fast with not much space to wait ( there is a boba shop in the same plaza), but turnover seemed okay. read more

Stopped here on Saturday night for dinner and we're pleasantly surprised by how delightful this was for being in a random strip mall across from the El Pollo Loco. There was a bit of a wait and not really much place to stand but luckily we were seated fairly quickly even though this is a surprisingly small setup. The staff were kind and attentive during our entire meal. It gets pretty crowded here so I was really impressed with the speed of service. We go the tom kha fried rice and the pad see ew with chicken. Both were delicious and made excellent leftovers as well. We also got the Thai iced tea - very sweet and very yummy. read more

Tried Siam Station with my coworkers and it did not disappoint! They've got a really good selection of classic Thai dishes, everything from stir fried noodles and curry to fried rice. The flavors were bold, the ingredients tasted fresh, and everything came out hot and fast. The menu has something for everyone, and their mango sticky rice dessert is a must try. Whether you're in the mood for something comforting or something with a kick, this Thai place has you covered. read more

i had been excited to try this place but was disappointed after the chicken in my pad see ew was extremely dry. seemed like a consistent theme throughout all 4 people in my group as my friend's pork in the pad see ew was way too crunchy to the point that it was stale. noodles were on point but it was hard to swallow the meat sometimes. one of the waitresses had some attitude and was upset at us since we were waiting for one more person in our party. we ended up sitting outside and all the gas from the cars and heat lamp right next to us was overwhelming. would not recommend the outdoor seating read more

A go to local favorite whenever I'm craving Thai food. Siam Station is a small restaurant and has limited seating but the food is worth the wait. The food is authentic and the quality of ingredients is high as well. Some of my favorite dishes here are the crab fried rice, red curry, and mango sticky rice. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and you can tell why it's a classic spot that everyone goes to. read more

Great Thai food with authentic consumers and staff. It feels like I'm getting served food made by hands that knows how to work a coconut milk and basil. Eggplant and bell peppers was a little bit greasy but so flavorful. Whatever your protein is is just going to add to the dish. The egg rolls are fried to a shattering crisp in the thinnest ways while maintaining the meatiest bites. Filled with potatoes and other little veggies, with a sauce that doesn't carry easy but does coat the roll proper with a few tosses and turns. Add some hot sauce to enhance the flavor. Pad Thai was filled with chunky scallions and the tofu (if that's what you chose) are so juicy and taste of light marinate. What I would maybe wish for for maximum wow-factor is adding bigger chunks of eggs. Like fried rice one finds joy and hunger in generous visible eggs. But still so good. They do have a Dirty Thai Tea which comes without half and half/milk/cream but does make up for it with a shot of whatever they put in there. Very much a hole-in-the-ply wall nestled in the middle of a strange little plaza. Maybe a short wait on the weekends during 'Feed Me Hours' but at least there's a menu of sandwiches in the window next door. Not a whole lot of seating but food and people move fast. Staff are always running around getting the job done. But they're all very friendly when eye contact is made. read more

I hate to leave a negative review for a business but I think something has to be said about finding hair in my food - Just found a long strand in my takeout pad Thai and called the business and they didn't even apologize for it. They simply asked if we wanted to go back to get another order or refund it. Makes me feel like they have dealt with this sprain a few times before. read more

Came across Siam Station while working on a project close by and I am glad I found this little gem. The restaurant is nice and clean and nicely decorated and offers plenty of seating inside and at the outdoor patio. Ordered the Panang Curry from their lunch menu which was very tasty! The curry had a nice kick to it and the vegetables were very nice and fresh. 4.5 stars for reasonably priced and delicious food plus friendly service! I'll be back! Enjoy and Bon Appétit! read more

Very good for takeout. Not a whole lot of seating if you want to dine in. It's a fast pace organization lol. That's why the names after a station. Food is great and isn't too salty or overwhelming.

If you know me, you know I'm a big noodle fan. Got to try khao soi after errands last week. For those who haven't tried, it's a thick "spicy" curry broth with egg noodles, crispy noodles, shallots, and cabbage. Don't forget to squeeze the lime for that extra tang! Curry and noodles are right up my alley now that it's colder now. read more

Their dishes were hands down delicious, I can see why people were lining up! Hole in the wall spot? It's a small restaurant where both indoors and outdoor seating was filled. Really good spot for Thai food. We ordered catfish, roasted duck curry, crab fried rice, eggplant and tofu, and green Thai tea. Everything tasted great! Service was really attentive and quick and it didn't take too long for the food to come out. Would love to come back, curious to see what the other dishes taste like! read more

tl,dr: Pleasant stop for some Thai food. Likes: + The Yen Ta Fo comes in bright red broth. A nice appeal to your friends. + The crispy pork add-on is yummy cuz it's crunchy and fatty. Non-likes: - Despite the bright red color, the Yen Ta Fo was almost flavorless to me. Had to ask for spice to spice things up. - Too many noodles for the low amount of protein. My bowl had a few shrimps but many noodles. - Turns out, the $3 Crispy Pork add-on is not actually meaty. It's just pork skin. I need more protein. It's flavorful cuz it's fatty, but I think those slices of pork are worth closer to $2. Neutral: . ok amount of seating. I had: $16 Yen Ta Fo + $3 Crispy Pork = $19 (excluding tax) read more

Glad we gave this place a try. Wonderful service and very flavorful food. We really enjoyed the papaya salad - the dressing is so refreshing and such a good combination of flavors. The crispy rice is not at many places - it's a Laotian dish and we enjoyed it with the lettuce as a wrap. The pad see ew noodles seem fresh and the dish comes with quite a bit of meat. Definitely one of the better Thai places in Irvine. read more

I've eaten here a few times and am conflicted! The first time I tried it, I ordered pad Thai and papaya salad via door dash and both were cooked perfectly and packaged beautifully. The second time I ordered via door dash, we asked for spice via the note section and it was not fulfilled and overall food was just okay. The last visit we had was in-restaurant and the pad Thai again was so good however the crispy rice salad had too much of a lime flavor and we felt too much rice. Overall we will be back but there are other Thai restaurants that we feel are better read more

Upon first arriving, I noticed it was small but looked homey. We were seated against the glass which I didn't mind until I saw the plethora of dust, dead fruit flies, and more fruit flies flying everywhere near us cause the door was propped open. I asked to be seated elsewhere. We were then seated against the counter next to the fake plants and counter which clearly also hadn't been cleaned in a while (most dust that could potentially fall into my food since the plant hangs over the table). I order pad thai and asked for green onions to be put on the side and was declined. I wasn't asking for any substitutions or extra onions, just simply to put on the side so my husband can eat them instead. Simply "no." I asked why and met again with "we don't do that". Fine. The portion was way smaller for the price and compared to other restaurants. I was given black utensils but you can clearly see they had just rinsed the spoon. I cleaned it with a napkin and I was able to scratch the crud off with the napkin. Strike 3 for cleanliness. Food was okay, but nothing spectacular. Due to the cleanliness I will not be returning. read more

We were planning to go try another Thai restaurant in the area. Due to over an hour of waiting time, we decided to try this restaurant instead. It was the best decision of the day! Everything we ordered was excellent! My favorite is Khao Soi! Can't believe I haven't ordered this dish in the past at different Thai restaurants. If you like flavorful, spicy, creamy coconut and noodle soup, this is a must try. It's a busy and well-managed small restaurant with good service. I wouldn't recommend this place for big group though. In short, I put this restaurant at the top of my Thai restaurant list after this meal. (I am still thinking about Khao Soi) Good job! Siam Station. Keep up the good work. read more

I really wanted to gatekeep this spot because it's right next to my house and absolutely delicious. However, I couldn't keep it a secret for any longer! FAVE ITEMS: - Chicken Skewers: chicken was juicy and paired well with the nutty sauce. Def recommend as an appetizer! - Basil Eggplant: delicious sauce, a little salty, but paired with rice, it worked really well. - Papaya Salad: nice and refreshing, crunchy, fresh ingredients. SERVICE: very fast! We ordered and the food came out in no time. PARKING: decent parking as it is a plaza in Irvine, though this plaza is slightly smaller than the other plazas around Irvine. PRICE: each dish is around $10-20 but worth it due to quality! Overall, this is a spot that I'll definitely hit up because of the amazing quality Thai food. Highly recommend! read more

Everything we tried had very strong flavors - nothing was bland/dry. It was just barelyyy too much for me with the sodium and sweetness. That's my only complaint. All the classics like Pad Thai, Tom Yum, Pad See Ew, Beef Salad, and fried rice were all great. Would definitely go again! I totally see why people come right when they open to get their names on the list. read more

Siam Station is fantastic! I visited here a few night ago for dinner and got the Tom Kha Kai soup; it was so good! I mean, probably one of the best I have ever had! The location is easy to find, plenty of parking, nice little restaurant that's clearly popular amongst the locals (because it was packed during a week night)! The staff were super nice! Their menu is extensive with plenty of things to try! The only negative is outside seating, which isn't the most comfortable, but it was fine in the end. The prices are fair for the food and the experience. I recommend Siam Station to anyone looking for a nice Thai restaurant with delicious food! read more

My friend, C, and I had lunch on a Thursday afternoon. We were seated inside immediately. Service was pleasant and unobtrusive. She ordered the Pad Thai, which she enjoyed. I had heard of Thai Boat Noodle soup from a Food Network or Cooking Channel show, but I had not seen it on any local menus. In addition to a flavorful broth with noodles, green onions, and cilantro, the bowl had meatballs, sliced beef, and beef chunks. It was a good choice for a cold day. Located in a shopping center at Jamboree and Barranca, there was plenty of parking. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. read more

The food here is solid. No real faults and is very tasty. It is cooked very well and not at a terrible value at that. The staff and servers are very friendly and courteous. They were able to help me order and look over the menu and describe the dishes to a newbie! The place is a little on the smaller side though with not a lot of seating so there is a wait usually. Overall a pretty good place to eat! read more

We came on Wednesday at 11 right before it started getting busy for lunch hour. We were seated quick and the interior is relatively small, during busier hours you'll be expected to wait for quite a bit. Our server wasn't very attentive, seemed to be very bothered by any requests (like to bring lime, peanuts) which were not included with our pad thai. However I get we can have off days. Zesty Wings (4/5): Crispy and moist with a sweet sour sauce! I get these every time, they come with fried basil which makes the flavor profile pretty yummy. It could be a bit more seasoned. Chicken Pad Thai (4/5): Pretty solid pad thai! Nice sweet, salty, and a bit sour if you request a side of lemon juice. Pad thai normally comes with peanuts but ours didn't have any this time around. Still pretty good for a Thai restaurant in Irvine. Chicken Satay (3/5): Probably wouldn't get this again, peanut sauce and flavor was decent, but the chicken was a bit rubbery read more

3.5 The mango sticky rice was excellent priced at $11 and is what I would come back for. The two other dishes we ordered were unfortunately not to par. We came Sunday night at 6pm and it was packed. There isn't a lot of seats indoors and there were tables outside. We were seated after twenty minutes. Service was all right but you could see another server would have been helpful as they were busy. It died down by the time we finished around 7:30pm. Back to the food: We usually get pad thai and pad see yew but this time we tried something else. Pineapple fried rice was standard, not very flavorful. Big chunks of tomatoes that made you wonder what happened to the cutting of tomatoes. Pineapples were also in chunks, it would have been nice for them to cut them smaller... Regular raisins were used (I don't know but I was expecting golden raisins). You have the option of adding protein. Black pepper dish with crispy pork comes with a bowl of rice but was very salty. At the end, we asked for the mango sticky rice and they brought it for to go .. ‍. That was good and by itself would deserve 5 stars. So overall this is more of a 3.5 stars in our books. read more

First time trying Siam station on the evening before Thanksgiving and it was a great spontaneous choice with my friend.

Unfortunately, Siam Station was such a let down. I came around the opening time for dinner, and there were already patrons getting to go orders, but my family and I were among the first ones to be seated for dinner. The service was prompt, and the food came out at a good timing. It's a very small restaurant with maybe like 5-6 tables inside and a few tables outside. As for the food, we ordered everything spicy, but it tasted like no spice was added whatsoever. Even the chili peppers had no spice to them, so if you like spice, ask for extra extra extra spice. - Tom Yum with Shrimp: Shrimp was great, very fresh and had a good crunch to it. The soup itself had a nice balance of flavor, and like I said previously, despite all of the chili peppers in the soup, there was no spice at all. - Pad Seew with Chicken: Probably the BIGGEST disappointment of all. The pad seew was so bland, as if they were missing the sauce all together. It didn't really even taste like pad seew. I do appreciate the veggies having a nice crunch to it, but damn, overall, a skip. - Crispy Rice Salad: Probably my favorite of the night, great flavor and I love the crunch of the rice. - Catfish: Salty, which definitely contrasted to the salt levels in other dishes, but tastes good with rice. Well coated in sauce. - Roasted Duck Curry: Pretty good, good amount of duck in there. There was lychee in here, which I thought was a good addition, nice touch of sweetness. As for the service, started out good, but didn't end great. I had asked for boxes to go, and I initially calculated 5 boxes in my head so I had asked one of the girls for 5 boxes. Her reaction: "5????" with her eyes wide. I had to then go through each dish I wanted to take home with her for her to agree to get the boxes for me, which ended up being 3 at first. However, I realized that we didn't include the extra rice, so when she came back, I had asked her to bring another box for us, and she didn't make any eye contact and didn't say a single word - overall, just didn't seem as though she was happy that I had asked for to go boxes. My bad for initially miscounting the boxes though. Likely will not be returning, as I feel there are much better Thai Restaurants with better overall service and food. read more

On a busy Saturday evening we received our food in like 5 minutes of ordering...now THAT is quick service!! Every single dish we had was delicious and fulfilled the Thai flavors I was looking for. The pad kee mow had lots of great basil and garlic flavor, lots of thinly sliced chicken. The panang curry has lots of good flavor as well. The chicken wings are a great appetizer. We really enjoyed the crispy skin and sweet dipping sauce. The mango sticky rice is a must have! The sticky rice was perfect with an abundance of salty/rich coconut cream and went well with the ripened mangos. Between the two of us, we ate all of it quickly. read more

The food here was solid and the service was quick! I shared the Pad See Ew with Tofu, Panang Curry with Chicken, and Mango Sticky Rice with a friend and it was the perfect amount of food. The Pad See Ew was not too oily and the slightly chewy noodle texture was very good. It was a large portion size which was nice for sharing. The Panang Curry was flavorful and came in a bowl with an amount that I thought would be too small to share at first, but exceeded my expectations! The portion size was great as we ended up with leftovers instead. The Mango Sticky Rice was also very tasty and not too sweet with the mango being a nice ripeness. I would recommend trying this dish! The dishes also came out very quickly. The place was busy, but I had no issue getting a table immediately even though the inside is on the smaller side. There is indoor and outdoor seating available as well. read more

Siam Station serves up authentic Thai fare in a casual environment. They offer curries, noodle dishes, salads, and appetizers. I visited with some co-workers and we ordered several dishes to share. Spicy beef salad ($15) - I was pleasantly surprised at how refreshing this salad was and you could tell the dressing had a hint of fish sauce. The beef was flavorful and juicy. Chicken satay ($12 ) - This comes with 4 skewers of tender pieces of marinated chicken. It tasted amazing and paired nicely with the peanut dipping sauce and a cucumber chutney. Pad Thai ($14) - This was a hit with my group. Stir fried thin rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, green onion, a home made sauce, and roasted peanuts round out this dish. Catfish ($20) - This consisted of fried catfish, Thai spices, and veggies. Unfortunately the catfish wasn't boneless so it made it a little challenging to get to the tender pieces of fish. Definitely a great tasting dish, just wish that it was boneless. Overall, my group really enjoyed each and every item that we tried here. This is a popular lunch spot with some outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. Even though there is a private parking lot, parking can be a challenge. read more

Fast service and yummy food. It's not the make authentic Thai I've had but it's good enough in the area it's located at. We ordered papaya salad with fermented crabs, but when there's more American than Asians who visit your restaurant, you can't prepare your meals too too authentic or Americans won't come back.so it's understandable, that's why I said it's good enough! I do recommend their lab and Kra Pow. Their sour soup looks pretty good, maybe I'll order that next time. read more

Was excited to try but this place is a disappointment. Duck curry has like maybe 5 small pieces duck bits. Small portion for the price being charted. Pad Thai was good. Food does not taste like the authentic Thai food you would have in Thailand. I guess the taste is ok if you've never have real Thai food before. But the quality is not worth the price read more

We came on a Saturday at around 12:30 PM and were surprised that there wasn't a wait. It's super casual spot -- moreso than I had expected -- but the food is hearty, delicious, and they serve very reasonable portions. I had the Papaya Pok Pok and the Pad See Ew.
