Siam Thai Eatery - Crisp coconut shrimp and papaya salad - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I asked AI for some Chicago recommendations, this restaurant was on the list. We went there for a weekday lunch. Restaurant wasn't busy a few tables. Morden design and very southeastern style. They don't have a lunch menu. Thai Crispy Chicken was juicy in the inside and crispy on the outside. It comes with a side papaya salad which is really good and some jasmine rice. I ordered Pad See Ew, this is one of my favorite Thai dishes lately. This is definitely one of the best I have. Crunch Vegs, bounce noodle and flavorful tofo. read more

Indulged an incredibly filling/delicious Thai lunch @siamthai_chicago! Dove into some of my favorite comfort staples: huge shrimp Pad Thai, chicken satay (slightly salty) and peanut sauce, fresh mango on sweet sticky rice dessert and oh - just one very effective lychee martini! Gorgeous entryway, carefully decorated Thai decor, seating and intimate bar. Hostess and staff are exemplary. In my opinion, the right music makes dining 100% so my only suggestion would be to add more Thai traditional instrumental and or contemporary playlist. read more

Came back again last week to celebrate another birthday with a different group of friends, and the food was still phenomenal! Everyone in our group loved it, and I'm happy to say the quality was just as good as our first visit. It's always nice to see a restaurant stay consistent. The service was much better this time as well, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The only downside was the BYOB policy. They charge $20 per bottle, which felt a bit steep, especially since some of the bottles we had cost less than the corkage fee itself. We ended up not bring the bottles. Overall, we still had a great experience. The delicious food and improved service definitely make this a place I'll continue coming back to. read more

Unfortunately, around two of takeout was less successful Pad Thai 3.5/5. the strongest option with a good level of fish sauce, but got with shrimp which was huge in size and very overcooked so we didn't eat them. Chicken satay 2/5. Strange texture appears to have been fried but not crispy. Lack of flavor depth. Spring rolls 2/5. Lackluster. Khao Soi 3.5/5. Nice spike kick with some complexity, but didn't pop. Pineapple fried rice 2/5. Unexpectedly spicy, but didn't make up for that with flavor. Ended up frying an egg to round it out. read more

We had a wonderful early dinner after a long day of walking and exploring. The staffs are friendly and welcoming. Pad Kee Mao with vegetables has good amount of vegetables to noodle ratio; love the spiciness as well. Coconut shrimp dish includes pad Thai and rice that's also very delicious with huge tiger shrimps. Both dishes are generous portions and full of flavors. Service is fast. Highly recommended read more

Siam Thai Eatery - Crispy Coconut Shrimp - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The interior design of this place is sooo cute I absolutely loved the vibes. I ordered a thai tea which was good although a little bit too much on the creamy side for my taste. We ordered the salmon carpaccio, tom kha, pad thai, pad kee mao, and mango sticky rice. The salmon carpaccio was very good--tangy, light, and fresh. The pad thai and pad kee mao were alright in my opinion--lacked some flavor. The mango sticky rice was good as well. read more

Came here for lunch and it was really good! The restaurant decorations are pretty! Service was a bit slow but it seems like they wanted us to enjoy our meals and not bother us. Pork Jowl - This was the best dish of the meal! The pork had a smoky flavor and a good ratio of fat on it. Very tender! I would eat this with papaya salad as a meal. Crying tiger - this was good but wasn't a fan of so much rosemary on top since it is not typically a Thai flavor. It also needed more acidity to the meat. Papaya salad- Tasted good but needed a bit more acidity to it as well. Got the mild and it was a bit more spicy than I personally prefer, but mixed with the meal it balanced out. Pork and shrimp cakes - couldn't really taste the shrimp in this and the filling could have been more full. It was still good but not amazing. Overall I would try this again and some other dishes! read more

Siam Thai Eatery - Pad See Ew with chicken - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ordered pad thai, pad see ew, papaya salad, green curry, mango sticky rice for delivery. Our group did not enjoy the pad thai, as it lacked flavor. The pad see ew was OK, a bit on the oily side. We ordered it with beef and the pieces of meat were pretty small. The green curry might have been the favorite. I usually love papaya salad, and while I loved the crunch this one had, it was not spicy at all. I'm used to papaya salad usually having a bit of a kick but this one didn't have any flavor. Mango sticky rice was solid, definitely recommend ordering more than one if you are sharing with more than one other person as it's a smaller portion. Overall, a decent meal but didn't knock my socks off. I've definitely had more flavorful thai food. read more

Thai food made right! I did a quick search to find a bite before going to the fields museum and came across Siam Thai, 100% within walking distance and honestly a really nice walk! I wasn't sure how busy they might be so I made reservations and was seated upon arrival, they were certainly busy but I feel walk in could have been possible for a weekend dinner time. Waters came out right away and greeted with a smile, our server was very knowledgeable about their menu and when asked for recommendations she was prepared! Very helpful for new comers! We ordered the lychee martini and an old fashioned and we were both pleased with our drinks, strong enough but well balanced For starters, we were suggested to try the Siam Platter so we could try out their different appetizers, hands down the money bag dumplings were the best! And the sweet vinegar sauce was a MUST! For my main entree I went with the Pad Kra Pao, keep in mind this does have some kick to it but it was so full of flavor! Overall great experience and will return! read more

The restaurant was dimly lit with little table lamps. Very romantic I would say. There were a lot of families (it was Mother's Day when we went). The had a high chair for my toddler. The portion sizes were really large and the presentation of the dishes were really beautiful. We ate with five adults and a toddler and were able to share everything. I loved the coconut shrimp the most! The Thai iced tea was also really good. Mango sticky rice was good but mango didn't taste like it was a good mango. Siam dessert set is nice to share and if you like coconut. read more

Greeted upon entry. Placed to go over phone. Pad Thai was good but dry. I've never had one dry, I prefer wet or with a little sauce. Pineapple fried rice was amazing. Ambiance inside is pretty for photos. Located on Michigan Ave near other restaurants and businesses. Street parking available. Recommended read more

We've come back many times, as Siam Thai continues to be our favorite nearby Thai spot. We usually come for an early dinner and have never had an issue just walking in. Our go-to dishes are the green curry and pad see ew with rib eye. The chive cakes are a hit with our kiddo. We've had the short rib curry and it was good, but could have had more short rib. The duck curry is also good. They are fairly kid-friendly. The staff are super nice and they have high chairs. They don't have paper or plastic cups or plates, so we usually bring our own. We'll definitely come back! read more

Great food! It's busy on a weekend evening so I'd recommend a reservation, for good reason. Favorite was the red curry- delicious and better than the still good green curry. Pad kee Mao was also tasty. No complaints from me. read more

Elevated Thai food - everything was very delicious! My favorites were the moneybag dumplings, spicy ribeye basil, and the red curry. Flavors all complimented each other very well and ingredients felt fresh. We ended with mango sticky rice and lychee martinis. Definitely a great place for date night or girls night out. All waiters were very sweet and we did not have to wait very long to get our food. read more

Overall, this is the most mid-Thai food that I've had in amazing. It looks amazing, but it missing the complex refreshing flavors I expect from Thai food. The Thai tea is probably the worst I've ever had - tasted like a whey protein shake. The food looks better than it tastes. The overall ambience is really nice and attractive though. Service rushed us to order, but overall all fairly good. read more

Everything was absolutely amazing. I'd eat here every day if I could. The service was excellent and our waitress was very knowledgeable.

I recommend if you're looking for a date night or cute place for Thai. The food was good, I got pad see ew, and it was flavorful but could've had more veggies and maybe more sauce. The service was good, and I felt taken care of. Not my favorite Thai place in Chicago, but definitely worth a visit! read more

Siam Thai Eatery - Pad See Ew - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Trendy interior, great for a date night or a group occasion. The pad kra pao stood out with a solid level of heat, and portions were fairly generous. The Pad See Ew and Pad Thai were decent. They had a bit of wok hei, but the flavors didn't feel very authentic. A few downsides: chopsticks weren't offered unless we asked, the fried tofu in the Tom Kha soup felt off (used to seeing soft tofu), and overall the menu is on the pricier side. read more

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!! Great place for a date night or special night out. Sleek decor, lovely lighting, excellent cocktails, attentive service, and delicious food. Reservations recommended. We loved the crispy crab roll as our starter. The rolls have a delicious tofu skin. This the best pad Thai I've ever had. Wow! The green curry with shrimp was very flavorful. The green curry head the perfect amount of kick! The homemade coconut ice cream was phenomenal, topped with fresh mint leaves. So refreshing! The passion fruit martini was the best cocktail I've had in a long time. I loved it!! The Thai iced tea was delicious as well. Wonderful experience! read more

If this restaurant was in the suburbs I think I would've given this place a higher rating but in a city like Chicago I think there are better options for Thai food. With that said it looks really nice inside and the service was great too. My personal favorite place is Noble Thai and this doesn't come close. Star of Siam would also be a better choice for me personally. read more

So happy to have this lovely addition to south Loop. Beautiful space , well decorated and nice ambiance. I went with some friends on a weekday for a late dinner . The staff can be a tad bit slow and inattentive but the food made up for it. We had the sea food tom yum , tofu green curry and garlic shrimp . Everything was delicious! Will be back with the family soon. read more

I came here for a business dinner on a weeknight and it wasn't very busy. It was easy to reserve a table via one of the services, and we were seated right away. The décor is so cute and it was fun to see a menu with some different options. I appreciate that they have the gluten free and dietary restriction/allergen information labeled, which was helpful in my decision making. We got the Pomelo Crab Salad and it was delicious! If you're not an adventurous eater, you might be put off by the strong smell of the shrimp paste. I also got the vegetable green curry, and I convinced my colleague to order the Khao Soi. We loved our food and drinks, and we really enjoyed our time here. I'll definitely be back and recommend it as a great elevated Thai option to others in the future! read more

The food was delicious the service swift and the drinks very good. What can I say we stumbled on this place thanks to Yelp! I had the coconut shrimp, not the deep fried, battered with coconut. They brought out a cup cake for my mom's birthday too. She had the garlic shrimp. Careful it is super spicy! I enjoyed their take on the espresso martini. Well worth a visit. I chose the chicken wing appetizer because I was hangry. The place was decorated a modern asian decor with hip music playing. read more

Alright alright alright!! Come dive with me into this over the top food experience!! From the moment you walk in, everything is amazing!! The decor, the plates, the utensils, the wine glasses, the food, the service!!!! Everything!! I legit wanted to take the silverware and plates! Everything was so cute! Haha For Galantines we wanted to switch up our usual pasta heavy restaurant choice. So we opted for Thai! We started off with the Siam platter, highly recommended!! Everything was a hit! You get a little bit of sweet and savory! Next we all shared our entrees! The kana moo krob was by far my favorite dish!! The pork belly was perfectly cooked. Enough crisp on the outside, justify and tender in the middle!! The pad see ew was another hit!! I literally had to put my chopsticks on the other side of the table because I couldn't stop eating all the delicious food!! After our amazing entrees we some how found room for dessert. The Siam dessert set was perfect for our table!! The mango rice was to die for!! So many reviews compared it to one they had in Thailand, I've never been, but can share it was a hit!!! Overall this place is a hidden gem and I can't wait to be back! read more

Easily five stars without hesitation. Siam Thai Eatery has such a great vibe. The space is really pretty, trendy, and feels like somewhere you actually want to hang out, not just grab food and leave. It was packed for lunch on a Tuesday, which honestly says everything about how popular and well-loved it is. Despite how busy it was, service was incredibly fast and friendly. What really blew me away was how insanely fast the food came out. For a place that busy, I was shocked at how quickly it arrived! I ordered the chicken pad kee mao and it was AMAZING. Perfect level of spice, tons of flavor, and every single bite was delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the whole dish just worked. One of those plates where you keep saying "wow" halfway through. Overall, this is exactly what you want from a great Thai spot: cool atmosphere, fast and friendly service, and food that absolutely delivers. I will 100% be back the next time I'm in Chicago. read more

We NEED MORE TIME!! The place was beautiful. We were crunching on time. Though our time was brief and short, it was quite pleasant visit. With the time we had, we only order a few dishes before our broadway show which was located nearby. The food came out quick. Though we only ordered a few dishes, it was enough to fill up our tummy with content. We would definitely come back again to get the full dining experience read more

I was craving mango sticky rice and decided to pop in before the dinner rush. A quick look at the menu made me realize that maybe I should eat something before going straight for the dessert so I ordered a thai iced tea and the appetizer sampler. I really liked the variety of appetizers which included the chicken satay skewers, money bag dumplings, fried roti and dumplings. I like that there were 4 different dipping sauces which accompanied the platter. The thai iced tea was sweet and the mango sticky rice came with a side of coconut cream to drizzle more for those who love coconut. The server was very attentive and I really love how the green and gold decor compliment each other. read more

The Thai fried chicken was DELICIOUS. Perfect texture and crunch/breading. The sauce was spectacular! The rice was good as well. The salad was also very good- It was fresh! The coconut shrimp was delicious as well! I loved the sauce for this. The blood orange mojito and passion fruit mocktails were great! The tofu had a perfect texture! The cost was also very good! Especially for the vibe and quality of food. I would def come again! read more

This place was really good (we only had appetizers). The sampler platter was a little bit of everything which was great and the tum yum soup was spot on. We also had Thai tea and it was more tea than milk which is a good sign. My only complaints would be that you cannot adjust spice levels (or we weren't asked at least) and wish the soup was a little spicier. The restaurant is decorated very cute but the floors can be extremely slippery (there was light rain earlier in the day) so beware! read more

This place is so nice and beautiful! We came in the afternoon before the busy rush and our food came out so quickly. Their Thai tea is so creamy and good. Their pomelo salad is really good and filled with flavors and spices. I really enjoyed their fried pork and Chinese broccoli with a side of white rice. Their wide noodles with chicken also was so delicious. Will definitely be back to try more on their menu. read more

Siam Thai Eatery has been on my list for a while and I am glad I finally visited. I recommend getting the Siam Platter to try 4 different appetizers for only a $10 difference of the regular price of 1. The food came out very quickly, everything was fresh and hot. The portions were large. The interior is gorgeous and perfect for a date night. The wait staff were very attentive and friendly. Definitely will be back! My total was about $52 and I tipped to $60. read more

The ambiance once you walked inside is so cute and so nicely decorated. We waited just 10 min but got seated right after. The food was really quickly made and we didn't have to wait for long. We tried their Thai tea which was so pretty when you mix it up. The food was good and tasted very flavorful. We got the platter as that was the part we came for and it was unique and filled with so many options. The pad thai was good with some chili on the side to mix in but a little different. The papaya salad was nice and spicy, they ask what spice levels you would like it and it tastes really good. We asked for level 5 but they thought we couldn't handle it but when we got level 4 it wasn't spicy at all. read more

Siam Thai is one of top Thai finds in the city. Set in a nicely decorated restaurant, they do a good variety of vegetarian options that are 10/10.

We just love Thai food! The pad see ewe was really good. I did like that you could make it spicy if you wanted.

Had a wonderful dinner at Siam Thai Eatery! We started with the money bag dumplings, which were amazing--flavorful and perfectly crispy. The pad Thai with shrimp was really enjoyable and came in a generous portion that gave me lunch for the next day. The interior is beautiful with greenery hanging from the ceiling and stylish rattan chairs. It was the perfect spot for a meal after seeing the American Chamber Music Society perform at PianoForte next door. Great food, beautiful space, and a nice addition to the neighborhood. read more
