    Siam Platter
    Reyna R.

    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.

    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.

    The food was really good. A nice size portion but at a hefty price. Ambiance is super cute. It took a while to be addressed while at the bar alone, although not crowded at all.

    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.

    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.

    Pad See Ew with Shrimp

    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.

    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.

    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

    Solid Thai choice for Chicago. A bit hard to find parking but used SpotHero and found a good safe garage.

    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!

    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.

    Pork belly

    The service here was so nice! Such attentive staff and the scenery was really pretty. Loved the booth. The pork belly was rlly salty though, and I was expecting the scallion cakes to come flat but they had a mochi texture, which wasn't bad just different!! I wish the pad see ew was a little more saucy.

    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!

    Instantly one of my new favorite restaurants in Chicago. And probably one of my favorite Thai…read morerestaurants of all time. As a street food spot that's popular for lunch, you get different offerings here than a lot of your other neighborhood Thai joints. Sat on the outdoor patio so didn't get to see the inside much but I liked our atmosphere and service. Split the papaya salad and the Laab Moo Krob (crispy pork belly salad) with a friend and both were outstanding. From the first crispy bite of the pork belly I was in love with the texture and flavors. We added a side of sticky rice with that which was perfect. I wish I could've tried everything on the menu that day but looks like I'll just have to return as soon as possible.

Our server took our order and our food came out less than 15 minutes after. SP1 CRAB MEAT FRIED RICE - 25 The fried rice came in a claypot and came with a good amount of grab meat. The flavors were pretty light -- I would have preferred a bit more seasoning or umami. The portion size is large. R10 HALF & HALF CHICKEN WITH GINGER RICE - 19 We wanted to try both the breaded fried chicken and poached chicken so we ordered the half & half option. The fried chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy. I loved dipping it in the sweet & tart plum sauce on the side. However, the poached chicken was really dry and unappetizing, and I know a good poached chicken is supposed to taste fresh and juicy. The ginger-garlic rice was pretty light in seasoning, but delicious nonetheless. Both of our entrees were incredibly clean tasting -- not too greasy, and it didn't hurt my stomach after eating. I enjoyed both of the dishes we tried with the exception of the poached chicken which was way too over-cooked.

We had called ahead to reserve a table and yet there was none available when we arrived. After waiting a bit, we were finally sat down but took about 30 minutes for the solo server to come by. She was clearly over-worked and exhausted and trying her best to keep it together but also in near tears. The food didn't even taste authentic - one of the dishes that should've had lemongrass actually had just basil instead. Maybe they ran out of ingredients? The corn fritters weren't fully cooked on the inside and doughy. And then, a homeless person high on drugs walked in and started asking each table for food. No one did anything about this and it made the whole experience even more awkward.

The food was completely underwhelming, and when we shared our concerns with the staff, nothing was done to address them. The service was equally disappointing. Our server spent much of the time sitting on her phone while we waited for basic service like water refills, being asked about drinks, and receiving the drinks we ordered. We repeatedly had to get up and find someone just to receive attention. As for the food, the gyoza was bland and tasted like unseasoned pork. The lemongrass beef stew curry, which was highly recommended, arrived cold, had an odd texture, and lacked any real flavor. Most shocking of all were the drunken noodles. I've ordered them countless times over the years and always considered them among the best in Chicago. This time, I couldn't get past a single bite. Every dish was left unfinished. We didn't finish a single plate and didn't take any leftovers home--something that never happens for us. Between the poor service and incredibly disappointing food, this was an awful dining experience from start to finish. Unfortunately, after being a longtime customer, I won't be returning.
