This spot is not worth the money. They overpriced the food and the quality of the food was not good. I ordered fried bananas and ice cream in the beginning and then asked to take it off since we were full. The waiter said they already fried it and was ready to serve, but when they bought it out, it was not fried. It seemed that they fried it in the morning and reheated it in the microwave. Not recommeded. read more

Coconut milk soup is very sour, and doesn't taste good. Didn't know it charged extra 2 dollars for beef. Thai tea is very plain. Wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I liked their pineapple fried rice and tofu mixed veggie stir fry. Pad Thai is just ok. Roti was great and so was the service!! read more

I havent visited the restaurant yet. We have been regularly ordering food via doordash. The portions are generous. The food tastes rich and flavorful consistently. They allow you to customise your heat options in varied range besides bland/okay/mouth burning adding further to its taste. Highly recommend this restaurant for your next Thai food fix. read more

I ordered the spicy mango salmon salad and it was so good my girlfriend ate it while sitting across the table and licked my plate clean. Service was also good and friendly even though we came in right before close. read more

My favorite Thai place in Sunnyvale. The servers use to know me and my favorite dishes and get them started when I showed up. Made me feel like the Cheers TV show were they cared about the regulars, but lately the owner has been waiting tables. He knows me by face but not my order- so it has last that special feel. I know it was the dynamic servers he use to employ. Last time I was there was on a holiday and they were understaffed. Service to my friend and I was poor and I noticed the fellow solo dining next to me was ignored. For me, a former server and frequent solo diner, this is a no-no! I return because of the great food, but would encourage the owner to find some dynamic service people again- They can make or break your business. (Training is really the key- its not just shuttling food, but creating a good experience.) read more

I measure by three different things in comparison to Taco Bell: DECOR: On a gorgeous street in downtown Sunnyvale, Siam Taste called out to me with its pictorial sign of numerous thai dishes displayed on it. Siam Taste isn't the most picturesque restaurant, but sitting outside you get a lovely view of the street decked with all sorts of stores. A view you won't find at your neighborhood Taco Bell. A star for decor! SERVICE: The service at Siam Taste was very good. I was seated right away and my waiter was good about refilling water and checking on me. Much better than the service at Taco Bell! Two stars here. FOOD: From Siam Taste I ordered the lunch special: Grilled Honey Beef. This entree came with a spicy soup, fried rice, and fried crab rangoon. The meal was delicious and very filling with a wallet friendly price of around $10. Definitely check out the lunch specials! Though Taco Bell may be cheaper to fill your stomach, it won't nearly be the same caliber as Siam Taste. A star for quality food! FINAL VERDICT: Is Taco Bell better? Negative. Siam Taste is affordable, delicious, great quality food that makes the most out of your money. Skip the tacos and grab some delicious specials from Siam Taste! read more

This is my favorite Thai joint in the south bay. Consistently good food. Amazing service.

It was pretty good - the lamb curry noodles was amazing. The lamb is very soft and you won't need a knife to cut it. Five stars for the food The pricing is high and the service was okay. We went around 4pm and there were no other customers read more

Food was great! However it was pricey 14 dollars for a bowl of lamb curry noodles that is worth around seven to ten dollars realistically. It was very quiet and the environment inside the restaurant was dated read more

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The angle rolls were light, fresh and crunchy with a solid peanut sauce. "The N7" with pork had great flat wide noodles which together with the gravy was reminiscent of a hor fun dish from Singapore. The 3 flavor rock cod was lightly and crisply fried, with a tangy sauce. The mango sticky rice definitely didn't disappoint. The service matched the food. read more

This has become our go-to spot to pick up dinner on a weekday if there's no time to cook. It's almost consistently been good over the last six months. I'm a fan of their vegetarian green curry and panang curry. Among the stir fry dishes, I like the Baby Corn, Spicy Eggplant and the Bamboo. None of the appetizers really stand out for me though. read more

Come here if you like your soy sauce mixed with flies. I'm not kidding. I really tried to like this place and I've been here 3 times. I enjoyed the chicken skewers appetizers, and my curry noodles (hence the 2 stars). My friend wasn't so lucky. He ordered some soup, and put soy sauce, but didn't realize that there were flies in his soup until he was halfway done eating. Once he noticed the flies swimming in his soup, he panicked and we all checked our food for flies. He didn't want to cause a scene since the restaurant was crowded so he just pulled our server to the side, and that's when he found out that the flies were from the soy sauce and not the soup. She asked him "did you put soy sauce?" as soon as he mentioned the flies so the staff had prior knowledge of this issue but still had the soy sauces on the tables!! Thank GOD my other friend and I didn't put soy sauce and eat flies with our dish. It was fun teasing my friend throughout the night about making sure he didn't have wings or legs stuck in between his teeth and if he liked the extra flies seasoning. Never coming to this place again though. read more

This place has been bookmarked on my account for literally three years, and it took a global pandemic for me to finally try it! So unfortunately I've only tried takeout, but I look forward to COVID19 being over for a litany of reasons -- among them being able to come experience some awesome thai food on always-cute Murphy Ave! Huge props to Siam Taste for offering an allergen-friendly menu. Items are marked for being gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan. Most dishes have the option to add eggs or any kind of meat, so you can customize to your heart's content. I've gotten a few of the noodle dishes and they are amazing and gluten free! The portions are a bit unpredictable (one time I was still a little hungry afterwards, but the next time my portion was just right) but that's possibly due to takeout rather than in-person dining. The menu is extensive and I love trying a new dish each time, and knowing that it's gluten free! read more

Siam Taste because that's all you get. We ordered basil chicken and spicy pan fried noodles while we strolled past this restaurant while at the Sunnyvale Arts and Wine festival. Right off the bat the waitress was grumpy and seemed very annoyed. She asked us which kind of rice we wanted with our basil chicken so I picked "white". The portions were ridiculously small. The noodles was barely big enough to share (lucky boo boo is tiny) and the basil chicken was unidentifiable since it was ground up. Hell, it could be roadkill for all i know. With red and green bell peppers, it amounted to about a cup of ingredients on a very shallow plate. WTF? This is what I get for $10.95 each? Worse of all, she secretly charged us each for rice! I have never had basil chicken that didn't come with rice, especially one of this tiny portion! I think it's shady to charge patrons for shit they aren't aware of. Did she assume we BOTH wanted rice because she charged us for 2 people! And WTF is this $12 minimum PER PERSON bullshit? At first, I thought it was $12 minimum to charge on a cc, but then I noticed what it really said. Food was very mediocre at best, service was non-existent, business practice was shady. No wonder the restaurant there had so many empty tables on this busy day! The occupied tables were taken by patrons at the nearby restaurants, not this place. Seeing Lorraine's review about how they counted her 4yr old and her baby as "patrons" and then automatically included the mandatory 15% tells you how unscrupulous they are. I would never recommend a place like this nor patronize businesses that has shady undercover charges. Stay away. read more

Stay away. Seriously. You were attractive because you had a good amount of people surrounding you out in the open. You alluded me to believe that you'd be good for me. How wrong was I? I was a fool to be deceived by your looks, so completely blinded that I did not see the signs right in front of me. Shame on me for falling for you. There was a sign on the table that said minimum charge is $12 per person. I've probably seen something like that only one other time because it's ridiculous! Their entree portions DO NOT COME WITH RICE! Only during lunch specials on weekdays. The waitress asked "white or brown rice?" like it was included with the dish! What's crazy is that it's $1.50 per person and I didn't even want rice with my noodle dish. I only had a tiny helping to have a taste of the entree. Service was so horrible. The waitress never checked on anything! I needed a refill on water but she was nowhere to be found. When she brought out the entree, she justified the dish being a small portion like this: "there is a dip in the plate, there's actually more than you think." Uhh, no there was not. The portion was a joke. When an older waiter was flagged down to get the waitress, he asked "what do you need?" in an annoyed tone & sent a different waiter to refill the water. Food was very average and left me pretty parched. Spicy pan fried noodles had a definite kick but that was about all the flavor it really had. The basil chicken was made with ground chicken and didn't impress me either. But at least the food was edible, it wasn't the worst ever. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/siam-taste-sunnyvale?selected=M5ARvY6QhXCG9feFXqoIoQ#0Ma6Wu_qhjIvETTsCrrN_Q There are so many other choices, don't make the same mistake I did. read more

Siam Taste - Spicy pan fried noodles with chicken. - Thai Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I love finding meatless dishes in non-vegetarian restaurants; to me, it puts them in a category above the rest. It's a rare find in Thai restaurants, but Siam Taste happens to offer a soy protein satay. It's a different taste and look from what I'm used to at Mekong and Thai Cottage in the City, but still good. If it weren't obvious enough that they're accomodating to veggies, they have a separate vegetarian menu--that is, an actual menu you can flip through, without having to look through the main one and pick out which dishes you will/won't eat. My disappointment was in my main dish. I loved the nutty brown rice, but their peanut sauce turned out too oily, and spicier than I would've liked, or even expected. The hospitality echoed what I've experienced in most Thai restaurants: Warm and welcoming. They deserve props for being so veg friendly (+1 star), but regardless of your dietary preferences, this wouldn't be my first pick for Thai. read more

I went to this place twice in one weekend it was so good! The roti is to die for. Definitely get the dessert roti! I like mine without the chocolate drizzle, but my boyfriend says it goes really well with chocolate. The roti tacos are also good. The chicken is the protein to go with, in my opinion. We had the friendliest waitress, who remembered my roti obsession with a smile. Great service, and a Thai place I'll keep coming back to! read more

Not impressed AND rude service. The shrimp pad thai was nasty. Usually, you mix your peanuts, and squeeze the lemon on your own. But apparently here they do it for you. The noodles were really hard, it just all stuck together in one big clump. The only good thing about the pad thai and all I ate was, the shrimp. They were big and they were generous with it, there was about 6 big shrimps in there. Other then that, wouldn't recommend it especially for 11.95. Waste. I also ordered crab fried rice. Again, not impressed. It tasted ok, but it really could use a little more flavor to it. It was better then the pad thai for sure, and I was at least able to eat it. There was no such thing as customer service. I absolutely hate it when I hand the cashier the money (assuming I walk up to the register) and then when I get my change back with my hand held out waiting for it, it's RUDELY placed down in front of me. It's like HELLO! didn't you see my hand out there waiting to get the change. It seemed like such an inconvenience for them to get me a glass of water. Just terrible service all around. I'm not going back. read more

Holy Batman, this place is the BOMB! Lizzy and I were in search of Pho in Sunnyvale, but lucky for us, the place we were originally aiming for was closed on Sundays. Instead, we caught whiff of the tantalizing smell of something yonder. And like bloodhounds, we literally sniffed out the joint that was producing the heavenly aroma, and ended up at Siam Taste. I can see it now... bringing our friends here... Friend: "How did you find this place?" Charlie: "Um, we sniffed our way here." Bokay! In any case, we had the summer roll with shrimp (fantastic if minus the basil) the tofu pad se eew (out of this world), and the honey chicken, which was a perfect balance of savory wrapped up in sweetness. Winnie the Pooh summed it up perfectly: "honey for the tummy." I really thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Definitely going to add this place to my Bay Area regular tour stop. Mmmm mmmmm mmmm good. read more

We had a horrible experience....though the food was delicious :( Seriously, we are conflicted wither or not to ever dine-in here again - you can be sure that we will be back for the take-out though. What is wrong with the staff here? We had to wait longer with every possible moment there is to wait on the waiters. The word waiter does not mean to cause customers to 'wait'er as long as humanely possible. The ironic part.. it had not even had been that busy... though it was during the holidays... the few staff members were walking from table to table with no concern in sight. At the end of the meal, after waiting nearly 20 minutes, it wasn't until I stood up and walked toward the staff that they realized we were trying to pay before leaving... I doubt they would have even had noticed if we had walked out... Table Size: Two Time: Lunch Date: 5 weeks ago Length of Stay. 1 hour and 20 minutes read more

Contrary to what the other reviews are saying, I had a great experience at Siam Taste. I came here for lunch today. It has that homey hole-in-the-wall feel. I ordered their vegetarian Pad Thai from their expansive vegetarian menu. The service and food were speedy and delicious. The prices were right too ($10 for my entree). I'll be back! read more

Best Thai I've had for long time!! Each one of the dishes was delicious, I recommend highly! Finally I found a Thai place I just love!

This is my second review for Siam Taste. Chicken in Green Curry {pic} http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/AYiLL1e9HCJe1sghi0WTPg?selected=M5ARvY6QhXCG9feFXqoIoQ#OcMo4R8V0SOMkyNG0lGULw I wanted to dissect this dish for people unfamiliar with Thai food: 1) Generally Thai chicken in any kind of curry is on the bone because the marrow adds sweetness to the curry. In the case of Siam Taste they use pure meat for convenience 2) Kaffir lime leaves? I didn't see any used and didn't detect the taste however they may've removed the leaves. 3) Thai eggplant is necessary for this dish just as potato is mandatory in many western beef stews. No eggplant in this dish which is probably because they were afraid that westerners won't like the taste. The green bell peppers were not an adequate substitute. 4) Basil? I only got 3 leaves when there should've been more. Overall, I give their green curry 4 and I ordered "HOT". The taste was very adequated and better than many Thai restaurants in Sunnyvale. In terms of authentic the taste is good but the ingredients were lacking. $12 makes this order a major indulgence for me and I brought it home and had it with my own rice and veggies on the side. The order serves 2 people but barely because the peppers didn't add enough volume. read more

Siam Taste - Chicken + Green Curry 1 order - Thai Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Came in for lunch and order the satay chicken, pad thai with shrimp and spicy pan fried thick noodles with chicken. For dessert we had the mango sticky rice. The satay chicken was quite good. Very tender and good flavors. As for the pad thai, it did not taste as good as it looks. Often time caused by the result of substituting granulated sugar with the palm sugar and using inferior tamarind with wrong ratios. One thing that perturbed me a great deal is that the man, not sure if he is owner, was seemingly in a bad mood and was constantly clearing the table. I was still working on the satay chicken when they took away the dipping sauce. Even while I was eating the pad thai, he came over with the check. We weren't done with the meal as we wanted to order some desserts. When we asked for mango sticky rice, he shouted at the picture of the dessert on the table and kept saying "This one? This one?!". I told him yes three times. He then took away the check he had left earlier. Anyhow, the mango sticky rice was a bit watery but the fresh mangos were sweet and yummy. The whole dining experience was really bizarre to say the least. Not sure if I want to return. read more

I've avoided this place due to all the negative reviews, but I had a great experience. We came in at around 2:30pm, so no lunch rush, it was pretty slow. We were seated immediately and our servers were nice. We ordered: - roti- good, the peanut dipping sauce was a little sweet for me, but it was good overall. - coconut pork skewers- also really good, came with rice and a small basic salad. - roast duck egg noodle soup- I loved this, I ordered it medium spicy, which was perfect. It came with a really generous amount of duck, which I totally appreciated. I'd definitely be back! read more

The food is good but the service is none existent. I'm sitting here having dinner with a friend and the old man who takes orders is watching the warriors game then suddenly he FARTS doesn't even care we are dinning in the restaurant doesn't say anything. I'm sorry but that's straight out gross and very disrespectful...........never coming back read more

The ground beef basil and chicken basil was very good here. Make sure to ask for medium spiciness because hot is really spicy! If you're the type that can tolerate a burning tongue, by all means, ask for it. The red curry was tasty as well with the yellow curry. The pad thai and pad see ew were just OK for me. I really enjoy their outdoor seating. Good to order a Singha or some Thai ice tea with some fried banana ice cream to go with it. read more

Siam Taste - Must have for Thai food! - Thai Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Should have heeded the warnings of horribly slow service that the yelp reviews indicated, but it was Saturday evening and every restaurant on the street was packed. So we decided this suspiciously empty place was worth risking. About 70% of seating was still available. There were about 3-4 staff hovering around the cashier area, yet it took 15 MINUTES for someone to finally come over and take our order. Quality of food: not terrible, but laughable. I've never described food as humorous, but LOL at this experience. EXTREMELY small portions. I ordered the pad kee mao entree (which I always get at every new Thai place as a baseline for comparison). The ingredients sounded pretty standard on their menu, besides "lettuce" which I thought was odd for this particular dish, but ok nbd. However, when my order arrived, half of it was just straight lettuce and shredded carrots, and the other half was the actual noodles. For a moment I thought I had mistakenly ordered an appetizer. Meanwhile, a friend ordered some sticky rice and literally got a stick of rice in foil. Another friend ordered the $22 seafood special, which had 1 shrimp, 1 scallop, and 1 squid in it. I can attest to this because I took the only scallop from his bowl and he literally was left with vegetables. Overall: Wouldn't come back. read more

Little on the expensive side, but everything we order there tastes really good! Ordering the food was ok, and food didn't take too long to arrive. Deducted a star because of the price and also the servers did not seem like they wanted to be there. Not friendly at all. read more

yumm good the best tai food always coming here for dinner with my family never im going toó another restaurant only here

I came here for the first time for lunch on a Sunday. The other Thai restaurant across the street was closed, so we decided to eat here. The staff is very friendly, but the food is just average. The shrimp in crepes appetizer was not cooked thoroughly. The shrimp was half pink and half gray (raw), and the pork wasn't cooked either... They were nice about replacing the order. It was actually the best thing we had there. We also ordered the crispy catfish salad and chicken tom ka. I thought they were both too salty. The catfish in the salad was tasty and had a nice, crispy texture, but the flavors of the fish, mango, and dressing just didn't blend well. I brought the tom ka home and added more coconut milk and lemon grass, and it tasted better... I had their thai iced tea to drink, and that was too sweet. I wanted to try their sweet rice with mango dessert but decided against it since I wasn't too happy with my meal. Overall, not a bad experience here but likely will not come back. Thai food is generally expensive and if the food isn't great, it's just not worth the money. read more

I had lunch here a few times. Each time the service was fast and food was quite good. I had Thai Style Seafood Noodle Soup and I enjoyed the broth a lot. My coworkers liked their rock cod in banana leaf lunch specials. The pad thai here is a bit on the soggier side, which is fine by me and quite similar to the ones I had in Thailand, but a bit different from the normally drier and thicker Americanized pad thai. read more

Ambience - 4 stars Service - 4.5 stars Food - 5 stars Great place in downtown Sunnyvale. Never too crowded esp on sat nights. They have great choices even for vegetarians. Varieties of desserts. Service is excellent. The people there are very humble. I got a free thai milk tea for yelp check-in! read more

Disappointed that the yellow chicken curry, while delicious, had very little chicken. It was mostly sauce and vegetables. For what I got, it was very overpriced, and I'm hungry. read more

I wasn't that impressed by the menu selection and my tofu green curry was seriously lacking in substance. Mostly very limp bamboo shoots drowning in massive amounts of sauce. Kind of unfortunate because it tasted okay for what it was but soggy vegetables make me a sad panda. They have brown rice, which is good.. and the service was friendly enough but I don't think I'll be back. :/ read more

My review is solely base on two items on the menu. Curry Chicken Noodle soup and Coconut Chicken Noodle soup. I probably been to this place 20 times or more, but I always order one of the above. Not to say the other things on the menu are not good, it's just that I enjoy the Curry Chicken Noodle soup so much that lately, I haven't even order the Coconut Chicken Noodle soup. If you like a thick yellow curry sauce with alot of coconut milk, then this is one of the best noodle soup ever! I am not sure why, but if you order yellow curry with rice plate or roti plate, the curry is not the same. Again, 5 star for Curry Chicken Noodle Soup, one of my all time favorite food. read more

We had lunch here few years ago and I recall it as being pretty good so when we were walking around (looking for outdoor spots to eat), we decided to try it out again. First of all, the owner saw that we had our puppy with us and brought him water as he brought the menus. This was great and made us very happy. We ordered the papaya salad with shrimp, red curry with veggies and tofu, steamed rice and mango with sweet rice. Every bite was heaven. The vegetables were all fresh and not over cooked. The mango rice was the best I've ever had and I can't wait to come back and have more! I'm so glad that now that the farmers market has been moved, most of the restaurants have outdoor seating here. It's pleasant to have a nice meal outdoors when the weather permits it. read more

I cannot recommend Siam Taste. The taste of the catfish was unbelievably awful. Yuk! I ordered the catfish and green bean lunch special today. The sauce had a reasonably good flavor. The green beans were OK. But I have never tasted a seafood as bad as the catfish that Siam Taste offers. The rice was OK. The salad was mediocre. They have outdoor seating, which is pleasant on warm days. They also have air-conditioning inside. All in all, I doubt that I will return to Siam Taste. This was my second lunch there; both with similar poor results. I see that Yelp Reviews have gone downhill from 3.5 stars to 2 just during this year (2018). I agree with all the other reviewers. read more
