Thai-inspired cuisine meets slightly hippie ski-town. The ambiance is relaxed with thai money under the clear table tops, mismatched homemade cloth napkins, a slideshow of beautiful pictures of Thailand stream in the background. The menu is massive and overwhelming at first. Essentially, it breaks down to a set of standard thai appetizers, lettuce wraps and hand rolls (specialty of the restaurant), choice of meat with different sauces paired with mashed parsnips and asparagus, and some traditional thai dishes (i.e. pad thai). There is also a wide selection of teas available. I had the mango-miso salmon which was ok (felt like the flavors weren't balanced with the sweetness of the mango), however tastes of other dishes were excellent. The brown gravy sauce with meet and vegetables that my husband had was very tasty as were the combination chicken and beef lettuce wraps that we had to start. The service from our waitress was great - she was very knowledgeable about different dishes on the menu and able to steer diners based on preferences for spice and "weight" of the dish. Service from the manager at the outset was a bit unfriendly as we waited to be seated, but our waitress did a nice job. It was a relaxed pace meal - likely due to how busy the restaurant was (and the size of the menu). Note: While the restaurant doesn't take reservations, they do take advance adds to their "list". In my opinion, this essentially means they take reservations but aren't good about staying on time so won't commit to a time. The policy makes it slightly better than showing up and waiting around, but given the small space in the restaurant it is very awkward to wait more than 10 minutes. On the plus side, they did call us to say they were running behind and to show up 15 minutes later. read more

It took 15 minutes for the gruff, curt server to tell us the wait would be 2 hours. We did not eat here.

We have eaten here a few times, the food is very good and we have enjoyed coming here. The menu is well done and they have some great fusion inspired dishes that are great. The wait staff works hard and could not be nicer. The issue we have is the hostess/manager, and after reading other reviews it seems a common problem. She does not like her job and does not like dealing with tourist or people in general. Our first impression walking into the restaurant set us off for the night. She could not be more unfriendly and unprofessional. This first impression of negativity and unwelcoming attitude makes it hard to overcome a dinner out. We ask our waiter about her, and it turns out she is the one of the owner daughters. So she is not going any where. So be warned, it will be a unpleasant experience dealing with her, but if you can get past her, and still keep a positive attitude, dinner will be great. I highly recommend eating at other restaurants in town. Siam is good food, but now last on our list of place to go out. read more

Food was excellent as always, friendly host, love the space. We were served an entree that we didn't order and the waiter basically told us "oh well". Also forgot to put drink order in. Would have probably given 5 stars if he was even slightly apologetic about either. read more

Always the best Thai food. I wait all month for my trip to Telluride to eat at Siam. Love it so much.

Siam was one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to in Colorado. It was my favorite meal in Telluride. It has a great vibe without being stuffy. Great food in a casual comfortable atmosphere. Will definitely be going back. read more

Great Tom Yum soup, perfect for a day in the cold snow. The pad Thai is also really good. Pretty easy online ordering system during Covid. The host was helpful in Asian beer selection. Highly recommend! read more

Siam has solid Thai food and was a regular go-to while we were in Telluride. One downside is regularly had hour and a half waits for takeout, if you are going to order, make sure you order early! read more

Receptionist man was rude. Very rude- gave short curt answers and was not at all helpful. When asked if there was a table for six, just snapped "no." When kindly how long the wait was, responded "all night, don't know what to tell you." He was not at all apologetic or even friendly. He could have simply given a friendly response, it's not that hard. Not coming back. read more

This place is some of the best Thai food I've had in a long time. I don't write reviews often but this place more than deserved it. Our waiter was pleasant and very helpful when we were boxing up our food, and he made sure we had proper utensils in our to-go bag. The food was incredible, and had a perfect level of spice to it. I had the yellow curry (my go-to dish for Thai food), and it was a perfect balance of savory broth and chicken and potatoes. Definitely would go again, and would recommend to anyone. read more

Arrived on a busy Saturday evening and our waiter ( wish I could remember his name!) Was fantastic. Kept a gracious and friendly attitude even as we kept adding people to our party. Crispy duck hand roll and Tom Kum soup were excellent. We'll be back! read more

This place has great reviews. Be Leary of hungry people's opinions. The staff has gotten used to the "Telluride Economy" of poor service. The food is good, not great....and lacking any sort of creativity. Tip well......but never be ashamed to tip appropriately. Siam needs some management control. read more

This was not the usually quality of food I'm accustomed to with Siam. This is one of my favorite places. Every other dish I've had from Siam has been at least 4 stars. read more

Siam - Sweet and sour chicken - Thai Near Me - Telluride, Colorado

Great bunch of folks. They accommodated us 15 minutes before closing AND asked if we wanted to dine in. Curry was flawless, service was great and the atmosphere was nice. I think some of the reviews have unfairly penalized the food and service this establishment provides based on other complaints and criteria. read more

At Siam, you cannot make reservations, but they do allow you to call and give them a time you'd like to dine, and they do their best to get you in. If we showed up at 5:00 p.m. they seated us. After that, you will have a wait. We had tried two days before to get take out. That was a big disappointment. If you want take out, try calling around 4:15 p.m. Anytime after 5:00 pm is going to be difficult Appetizers are phenomenal. Highly recommend the "nipple platter" that gives you a taste of several items and the dumplings and spring rolls. YUM! Recommend the cucumber martini and Molly's Mango drink. The men at the table got craft drinks and some Thai drinks. The Seafood basket was a real treat and in a unique Sesame Rice paper basket with Shrimp, scallops, mussels, squid and lightly battered Tilapia filet, combined with water chestnuts, green onion, white onion, cashew nuts and Siam's Thai Chili sauces, Red Curry Sauce was our daughter's favorite. I just loved my seared tuna with Choo-Chee Curry paste and Kaffir lime leaves in a light coconut sauce with steamed carrots and broccoli. It came out beautifully presented and delicious. We felt this was one of the highlight meals on vacation. It was the best Thai food we had ever had. It continues to be one of our favorites in Telluride. It will earn a repeat visit next time. There is a large number of items on the menu. Problem is trying to decide what you want. Good, quick, friendly service with a fun and casual atmosphere. Very popular, but worth the wait! REMINDER: Get there early or just wait a little bit - you won't regret it. Once again,, we will definitely return the next time we are in Telluride! NOTE: You get a heaping plenty and we took food back to condo. read more

We had a party of 10, which generally proves difficult to secure a reservation in Telluride. They were very accommodating. The spice level of all of our dishes was perfect. read more

This is some of the best thai that I've had in almost any city in the U.S. Definitely try their handrolls. And they have a nice list of fantastic curries. read more

This is my fave place in town! The food is always on point it's so dam good just do it

Delicious. We eat Thai regularly in San Diego and are pretty picky. Yellow chicken curry was great and the tempura veggies were some of the best I've ever had. The crab rangoons WERE the best I've ever had! Yumm! This place is right around the corner from the condo we stayed at. So glad we found it! read more

This Thai restaurant is absolutely fantastic. We ordered the khao soi noodles, drunken noodles, green curry, and beef stir fry. Everything was delicious. Very authentic and very tasty. This is a must stop for a cozy night in Telluride. Also, the service was exceptional! read more

I ordered the Thai Vegetable Garden with chicken and brown rice, crispy egg rolls, and 10 oz sake. Service was slow and waiters seemed impatient. We requested separate checks due to expense accounting and we got a lecture about company policy, but the waiter finally agreed. Crispy egg rolls were greasy and almost flavorless. The 10oz House sake was a shocking $16! Food was very slow to the table, and the dish I ordered was so salty it was nearly inedible. I ate anyway to avoid the hassle and because we were out of time. Check came as one, not split as agreed. The waiter became surly and his attitude was awful when we asked to have it separated. Even then, he got the credit cards mixed up and put the wrong tickets on each of our cards. We complained to the manager, but my impression is that they do not care. We will never go back. FOLLOW UP! This place added an unauthorized tip charge to the credit card after we left since we stiffed the surly waiter for his attitude. This place deserves to fail. read more

The food in terms of quality and freshness was good. It has flavors but lacks complexity and depth of true Thai food flavor profile. It was good but it was not true Thai. This might be due to demographics of it's constituencies rather than chief's fault. I ordered spicy but it felt like eating a lunch in midtown Manhattan, spice level is too conservative for my like. I didn't order Pad Thai, but my neighbor did. It was almost white and borring looking noodle dish. The place itself is nice, life music on weekdays. You will have good food and spend good time, but don't expect authentic Thai food. read more

I haven't had a bad thing in Telluride when we visit, this place is no exception! If anything it is quite possibly top five in the best Thai food that my husband and I have had. We ordered the Pad See Ew & Steamed Dumplings & Pineapple fried rice. I left the pineapple fried rice because it had a little bit of a curry flavor to it, nothing I had tasted before. It took roughly 2 hours to get our to go order due to Covid, but it was worth the wait! read more

Excellent Thai food. We always look forward to grabbing their Thai food because we lack great Thai food in Houston. The only downside about this place can be the wait, but I can say it's worth the wait. read more

Ordered takeout Pork Pad See Ew and it was delicious.. Ordered medium spicey, and it was plenty spicey!! My Husband said mild next time, but I thought it was just right.. Ordered online, and received a text in about 20 minutes.. All went without a hitch.. Highly recommend! read more

The best Thai food we've found in Colorado! I'm from Denver and wish there was something like this. The food and service were amazing. Fresh flavors, perfect spice. What more could you ask for? How about Fleetwood Mac and The Beatles on the tunes? Check. Awesome joint, will definitely return next time in town. read more

Yum. Everything is absolutely delicious! Can't go wrong with the Pad Thai or Drunken Noodles read more

I read about good places to eat in Telluride, and Siam kept popping up on lists. We went and were not disappointed. Set up in a cute little converted house close to the entrance to the town, it was delicious and the staff were very friendly. We had the Tom Kha soup with shrimp and it was very flavorful, and then shared the nipple platter, which was like an appetizer sampler platter. Would go back again. read more

Service was just ok. If you have to get Thai while in Telluride, it will do. Be sure to get a reservation.

Don't waste your time and money here. Just go anywhere else. For the food itself, I'd give it probably 3 or 3.5 stars - definitely not the best Thai food I've ever had but not that bad either. However, consider the service and the price you are paying, it's totally a waste of time and money. The place is a chaos with loud music and servers running around, yet we were not really getting any kind of service - waited for more than half an hour for the food and nobody even stopped by for water refill until we were almost done with the meal. And the dishes are way overpriced. $21 for a regular pad thai- lord...call me stingy... read more

Updating my review because since the first bad experience, we've been back twice and both were pleasant experiences. I believe since the first time, they've had a change in management and now they actually take reservations! We started out with the curry puffs and the tuna tataki and both were delicious! We all got different entrees and everything was good, the only note is last year we got medium spicy on everything and it wasn't quite spicy enough so we got spicy and it was just a little too much so need to find a happy medium! For drinks, we love Saki and they have a great selection. The martini was very well made too. read more

Had their coconut soup with chicken and it was delicious. Placed the order ahead of time online as they are hard to reach over phone and got a text when it was ready (which was much earlier than the estimated time provided). Comparable to any other thai coconut soup I've had before so it gets 5 stars from me. read more

Siam - Tom Kha coconut chicken soup - Thai Near Me - Telluride, Colorado

Great restaurant!!! Never had a bad meal here! I usually get the drunken noodles vegan style.

In summary, busy place but accommodating. Relatively loud for such small place. Food was good, temperature and spice level was just right. So why the low score? One of our parties ordered sake, soup and his entree. Unfortunately the sake came after the entree, right after the soup which also came after the entree. To make matters worse instead of a simple apology, the answer was that the bartender was busy. In that short statement you realize that the waiter had no concept of the problem and deflected to someone else. A simple sorry would have sufficed. Anyway food is great if you don't mind some service sloppiness. read more

A great experience! No reservation, so we arrived just after opening and were seated on the first come/first serve basis on the porch - which is what we wanted. Our server was informative and friendly. Food was delicious- fresh, creative, and presented well. We enjoyed the music by two guitarists/singers too. We will be back. read more

Good food but no rolls. We came for these so we were disappointed... Service was very nice, we enjoyed our meal and were happy about every items we ordered! The restaurant is very loud! read more

Favorite place to eat in Telluride. We are semi regulars. Love this place! So delicious, life would not be complete without

We love this place, quant restaurant inside of a house and every dish that we have had is incredible and packed with flavor. The crispy duck, all soups, curries and drunken noodles are some of my favorites. read more

Our group was happy with the Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles. Service was slow for take out.

Our go-to for Thai in Telluride. Consistently delicious. Great cocktails. The green curry is my favorite.
