We were in the mood for Thai and found this location right by our hotel. As you walk in the inside is not so large. The ambiance is simple, but it smells good. We went at lunch time but we were lucky there was one table available so we were seated right away. We were brought water and menus in about 20-30 secs. Our waiter came back in maybe 3 mins to take our order. We ordered everything at once. We were served complimentary soup, it had mushrooms and a sweet and sour flavor. It was pretty good, my wife really liked it. About 90 seconds later our crab Rangoon appetizers came out. They were smaller than most crab Rangoon's I've had but they were very good and with the portion size of the main dishes they were perfect. Our main dishes came out in 2-3 mins, everything was very fast. I had the pad Thai with chicken. They give you a spice option of 1-10, I'm not great with spice so I went with 2 and for me it was the perfect amount. I can't imagine what 10 would be, 2 was spicy enough that it made my nose run. The dish was very good though. My wife really liked hers as well. All and all with the speed, service and food, I'd give it a 4.5, but since you can only give equal numbers. I had to go with 4. I'd like to come back and try something else next time. read more

This restaurant is unassuming in downtown and tucked away a bit from the city but it's well worth the food! The owners are very nice and service itself was great. I got the Thai iced tea and it was delicious!! It also came out almost immediately so it was nice to sip on it while waiting for food. I got the pad thai with tofu as my main meal and it was delicious! The portion size was perfect as well. I was full, but not stuffed from finishing the plate. I forgot how sweet pad thai was, so I don't recommend getting a sweet drink if you're getting that dish. The prices here are great too, especially for how much food costs nowadays. I would love to come back here at some point! read more

We stopped by for dinner and ordered a variety of dishes, including spring rolls, pad thai, eggplant basil, thai fried rice, stir fried broccoli, etc. and everything tasted good. Our food came out incredibly fast (a little too fast?), and the service was friendly and attentive. The interior's decor is simple (not very modern) and the dining area is not very large, so it seems like a spot where folks can come for a quick meal and continue on with their day/night. read more

Very small spot ... after we were there for 10 minutes they started turning people away because they were busy so get there before noon for a good lunch spot! Everything we got was super tasty and very affordable. I will warn though, a spice level of 4/10 here is like a 4/5 or 5/5 at most Pittsburgh Thai places. Use caution! read more

Siam Thai restaurant's menu lists dozens of appetizers, soups, curries, main courses, noodles, rices, and beverages. Prices are very reasonable. I ordered several foods for delivery. Here are my ratings for these foods: Samosas - 4 stars - Fried pastries were stuffed with potatoes, carrots, and green peas, and they tasted good. On the side was a sweet-and-sour sauce. Crab Angel Rangoon - 4 stars - Several wontons were filled with cream cheese, some crab meat, and green onions, and I liked them. On the side was sweet-and-sour sauce. Thai Spring Rolls - 4 stars - Several rolls were filled with carrots, vermicelli, and cabbage. On the side was sweet-and-sour sauce. My husband said that he enjoyed the taste of these spring rolls. Green Curry Lunch - 4 stars - I ordered a protein of shrimp. Other ingredients included broccoli, green beans, peas, bell peppers, basil leaves, coconut milk, and green curry paste. I had requested a spiciness level of 5/10, and it was still pretty spicy. Pad Thai - 4 stars - This stir fry contained rice noodles, egg, scallions, peanuts, and bean sprouts. My husband ordered a protein of chicken. He said that he liked this entree. Pad See Ew - 4 stars - This stir fry contained rice noodles, egg, broccoli, and soy sauce. My husband chose a protein of duck. Yes, duck! He felt happy to see duck on the menu. read more

Tucked away on 1st Avenue, Siam Thai is easy to overlook. I came here shortly after 11 on a Monday so not busy yet. The first item they brought was the mini Tom Yum soup with mushroom. You can taste the tangy-ness, the sour and spice all at once. Next were the spring rolls, which I did enjoy the sauce and the crisp exterior (insides I wish the filling had some more texture, but the flavor was still good). The main entree was the cashew chicken, with spiciness on a scale of 6 out of 10 (they were accurate with the spice; I've known places that calibrate down depending on who orders it but they were fair). The dish was sweet and heat and spicy all at once, and everything well cooked. Finally, the Thai iced tea - definitely sweet and had the spice flavor, but just a little more of the condensed milk would have been perfect. Service was good, but then again, it just opened and I was the only one there (not many tables so might be a good idea to get in early). Really enjoyed my visit here and would be happy to go back soon. Solid four stars. read more

The food was very delightful! I had never tried real pad thai before so i'm happy to say my first time was a good one. The place was able to accommodate for all 5 of us. We went during lunchtime and the service was very good. I would definitely come back here. The thai tea was also great. The inside of the restaurant is very cute. read more

Some of the, if not the, best Thai in the city. The Pad Thai has more peanuts, scallions, etc that some of the other popular places in the city. A 3 here is a little spicier than other places 3. The crab ragoons are delicious! read more

My new go-to order for lunch Siri g the week is the pad Thai...any protein. Hot and fresh with delivery, great deal to dine in . Highly recommended!!! read more

Hands down, my new favorite Thai restaurant in the city. We ordered takeout for lunch today and I am so happy we switched it up and tried Siam. The food was prepared super quick, and each one of us had giant portions! The flavor and quality were both awesome, and I will say they're spicy scale runs 1-10, and 2 was enough for me! Some of my coworkers tried a four pad Thai, which they said was super spicy; and the chicken Basil with an eight, where my coworker played it cool and I thought he quite possibly may have already burned all of his tastes buds off, but I know he was feeling it the rest of the afternoon! read more

Delicious Thai food downtown with a pretty great location. They offer many of the classic Thai dishes with great portions and very fair prices. Tonight, I ordered the pad Thai with chicken (level 1 spice), spring rolls, and Thai iced tea. I thought the pad Thai was delicious but had a slightly strange red hue to it. The portion size is more than enough for a meal and they are generous with their meat portions as well. The chicken seems to be high quality; not too chewy. The pad Thai is not too dry nor too saucy (although I would have liked a tad more sauce). It's flavorful and definitely quite good for the price. Usually the redness means it's going to be too sweet, but I found this to have a great balance of sweetness. They have a significant amount of peanuts sprinkled around on the top. Their Thai iced tea is also quite good. Many places make their tea overly sweet, but I found this to be a bit creamier and less sweet than other Thai restaurants. Again, the price was very good for the portion (just $3) and it was still flavorful and tasty. They make some decent spring rolls, too. I wouldn't say there is anything special about them other than you are given a great portion for the price. I believe I got 5-6 for just $5.50. The inside is stuffed with primarily cabbage, some carrot, glass nooodle, and other vegetables as well. They were pretty crispy and overall decent. Served with a small container of sweet chili sauce which I enjoyed. All in all, this is a solid choice for Thai food downtown. They make a great Pad Thai and Thai iced coffee, especially for the price. The food didn't blow me away, but it was still good and I'd recommend the place. read more

Best Thai food! The Duck curry was amazing- Duck meat was soft and gravy delicious. The spring rolls were crispy and tasty. The Tom Yum soup was just the way we like it. Would definitely go back for more read more

Tom kha soup was very sweet, it seem like they had a broth base and had just poured coconut milk into the broth before serving. The fresh rolls didn't appear to be fresh, they didn't have much flavor read more

The pad Thai was pretty good, not the best I've ever had but still very decent. I had the pad Thai level 3 spice and there wasn't much heat at all, so consider going up if you want more heat. I didn't care for the chicken much. The drunken noodles were very good - better than the pad Thai. The level five heat had enough heat to get the flavor but it wasn't overwhelming. I would order from here again. read more

Love Siam! The food is amazing and lunch prices are very fair. Service is fast and efficient. Everyone there is super nice. Green curry and eggplant basil are my go-to choices, and my brother loves the pad prik khing. Tom yum soup and crab rangoons (crab angel on the menu) are fantastic as well. It gets pretty busy at lunchtime so go early if you want to eat there. I tend to order a slightly lower spice level than other Thai places in the area, and it's always been consistent. Highly recommend! read more

Standard Thai place, but pretty good! The spice levels are nice so def get a lower spice level if you are sensitive! They have a really cheap lunch special too, like $10 (as of Sep 2024). read more

A pleasant surprise every time. Don't be afraid to get your spice on! The heat is flavorful - doesn't just burn.

First of all: I haven't had a 10/10 first-time experience in Pittsburgh in like...EVER! I ordered something very simple--eggplant basil w/ shrimp--from Grubhub and figured if I hated it (which I fully expected), it wouldn't be difficult to doctor up and make it at least palatable so that it's not a total waste. But I was SO surprised. I ordered an 8/10 spice level and it was sooooo hot! It was perfect! Other places I've tried, I'll get 8/10 as a reference and always wish I'd gotten 10/10 or I'd just conclude that 10/10 wouldn't have even been worth it. This jawn was BLAZING, just the way I like it! Rice was perfect, eggplant was delicious (despite being delivered); shrimp was plentiful and the sauce was *chef's kiss*! I'm über impressed and satisfied. I had to write this review to mark this moment in case it's a one-off or a whole mirage or something. It was biggidy-bomb! **I would have taken a picture, but I murked that meal so hard, I literally had no time. I tasted a bite and then I was done . I'll try again next time. read more

I had the drunken noodles with chicken - Spice Level 7. It was delicious. They even threw in a Rangoon which was homemade and yummy! I had never tried this place before and I'm glad I did. Take out only in the age of COVID. Based on my order, it was just as good as Nicky's. read more

Best Thai place I've found in Pittsburgh! Love their food and reasonably priced compared to others

Pretty good Thai spot serving your standard offerings. Stopped in for a quick lunch and were promptly seated. We were brought a complimentary cup of tom gai soup which was very good. I opted for the duck curry which I asked to have medium spicy. The dish came out incredibly quickly which lead me to think it was mostly prepared ahead of time. It was very spicy but I corrected this with the tableside sambal. The portion was large enough and had enough duck breast for the price. I found the curry flavor to be good for how soon it arrived and the meal itself was filling. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

Was in Pittsburgh overnight for a concert and needed food asap. So I found this place on UberEats. Ordered shrimp pad Thai, chicken Thai fried rice, and 2 Thai iced teas. DELICIOUS. Like surprisingly delicious. The pad Thai had gigantic shrimp and they were cooked perfectly. The fried rice was good as well. The portions were huge and we were able to make 2 meals out of each container. Def a highlight in a city that I wasn't too fond of. read more

I never write reviews, this time it is warranted. I had been a regular customer of Siam, until this one day where I placed an order could not pick it up on time because I was in a meeting , they tried calling and could not get through. After the meeting I called them and let them know I will come around 4 to pick up the order which I did since I placed it to honor the commitment I went and picked it up. I went today to collect my order that I placed in advance , they have my number up on the notice board with a note to not take orders from me. Given that I will never be going there again. It was ridiculous to me that I picked up and paid for the food that day still I was on essentially a blacklist. I had to wait 20 mjns despite ordering in advance, and given that I had not abandoned my previous order and paid for it and picked it up. Now this issue aside there was an extremely rude man at the front desk who doesn't know how to operate an apple wallet at the kiosk and was visibly upset and very very rude. I was trying to explain to him that I did pick up the food last time and he didn't want to hear any of it, the audacity is baffling. I generally never write reviews but I simply cannot stand this type of incompetence and rudeness when it is unwarranted. A big red flag will not be going to this hole in the wall ever again. read more

Tasty Thai spot in the heart of downtown. The service is super fast; I ordered on my way off from work, and it was ready for pickup within 10 minutes.

This was a great spot for my lunch break! It's kind of hard to find, but once you find it, you're in for a treat! I got the Spicy Thai Fried Rice with chicken! I got spice level 5/10 which honestly did it for me. If recommend a 3 if you like spice as a flavor, and not as an adrenaline kicker! I also got their Thai tea to help me wash down the spice. Their Thai tea was absolutely delicious! I really loved that they give you a complimentary crab Rangoon for appetizers. It came with a oil based sauce which was super delicious. Great place for Thai food, good service, and great Thai tea! read more

I had heard great things about Siam's and finally got around to giving it try. I wanted something quick and easy so I ordered the Thai fried rice to go. It came out in less than ten minutes and was delicious. The portion was huge and easily shareable with one or even two other people. I loved that they threw in a free crab ragoon. It also was very tasty! The menu seemed reasonably priced and the staff were super friendly. I can't wait to go back and try more of their food! read more

This is another one of those tucked away places downtown and that's ok with me. Like my own little secret. It's super close to my office and I love it! I go back and forth between this place and a couple of others within a few blocks of my office. Siam Thai is definitely one of my favorites. The spring rolls are so freaking good! I have had some really good ones in the past but nothing beats the ones you can get here. The Thai Spicy Fried Rice and Green Curry are to die for I tell you. Wow! Talk about dishes that pack a punch. These for sure hit the spot! I like my Thai spicy and this is how it should be done. They know what they're doing. The restaurant is kind of small and during lunch hour it is always busy and packed. I call ahead and my order is always ready, waiting and warm when I arrive. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. You really need to check it out on your own. read more

I'll caveat by saying I have only ordered Siam Thai through DoorDash. But, I keep choosing Siam over Nicky's Thai downtown. First, the service is fast. The food always arrives piping hot and well packaged. My go-to order is Chicken Pad Thai, spice level 5. The spice level has been consistent, which I appreciate. Also love the nice touch of a wonton with each meal. Good portion for the price. Eventually, I'd like to eat in person, but it's a bit of a jaunt from my office. Highly recommend overly Nicky's. read more

I ordered through Postmates and wow I was impressed! The food was amazing! I got the crab Rangoon and crab fried rice and it was so flavorful and delicious! I think this might be my new Thai place here, was highly impressed! read more

Looking for a solid lunch place to go in the city? Maybe you are in the mood for Thai food? Whatever the case may be, Siam Thai restaurant is a tasty, affordable choice. Recently, working in this part of downtown on Blvd of Allies, there a ton of lunch spots to choose from. It's my goal to get more familiar with this side of town and find all the hidden gems that there may be. I can largely thank my coworkers for that because no one ever packs lunches any more. Besides me of course. First time walking in and it's a small place. The dining room is tiny and the tables are pretty close to one another. Being that it was 12pm noon and lunch time, there wasn't an empty seat in the place. But that is when the quick service takes over. I went with a party of 8 including myself and are orders were placed and food was brought out to us in about 20 minutes. Besides the quick service, the food was delicious! I got the Cashew Nut chicken with white rice. I'm a baby when it comes to spicy, so I got a 0. I know, no need to rub it in. But my dish was perfect and I really enjoyed the crunch of the cashews. All for $9 and you can't beat that for lunch! A cute little touch was my rice being shaped into a heart! I feel the love Siam Thai, I feel the love! read more

Siam Thai Restaurant - Cashew nut chicken! - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I ordered through the Grubhub app, & what a total fail in every possible category. Delivery was only supposed to take 35-45 minutes, it took almost 2 hours. Food was cold & drinks were warm. I ordered their 3 most popular dishes, Shrimp Pad Thai, Spring Rolls, & Crab Rangoon. Admittedly, nothing is very good after sitting for 2 hours, but it couldn't have been good fresh either. The spring rolls are the generic frozen kind you can buy at your grocery store. Disgusting. The crab rangoon actually had a light fishy flavor, ODD. The pad thai was reddish in color, also ODD, dry, and pretty bland. Portion/Bang for your Buck=POOR. Huge bowl of dry noodles with 4 shrimp for $13. 4 tiny spring rolls for $6, 4 crab rangoon for $6. Delivery fee of $3 to wait 2 hours, PLUS A TIP, before you find out it will take 2 hours. Horrible experience all the way 'round, just go somewhere else. read more

Man, this place defines what I think of when I talk about Mom and Pop establishments. These places don't have large dining rooms or fancy decor but their food is as good as, if not better, than the big name places. My lunch crew frequents another Thai place that will not be named here, because that isn't fair. A few days ago one of the guys, who loves spice, was going on about a little place that was more affordable but just as good. Yesterday I decided to give that place a shot, and I was not disappointed. From the moment that I walked in the door I felt as though Siam had the potential to be the type of small business that I love. It is the kind of place that you'd completely miss unless, and potentially pass by, unless someone points it out. When I walk into one of these smaller establishments I pay attention to three things. 1. How does it smell? If it smells weird, I'm out. I made the mistake of ignoring this rule once and regretted it. Siam smelled like yummy food, as it should. 2. Are there plenty of customers? We were early for lunch,but the place was already half filled. That is a good sign. 3. Was there a friendly greeter. There was! Boom! Magic was about to happen, I could feel it. Once we were seated I took a quick look at the menu to see if there was anything interesting other than my default choice. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Being that this was my first visit we decided to get some appetizers. We ordered Thai Spring Rolls and Samosas. The spring rolls were fried to perfection. Not too oily, and filled with flavor. The home-made sweet and sour sauce that came with them was an excellent addition. It was a light color like butter... sooo good. There were too many people around for me to lick the bowl... plus we were sharing and licking the bowl is against bro code when sharing. I personally love Samosas. They are missing from the menu at other place that we frequent. Siam's Samosas were so good that they may cause me to make Siam a regular spot over the other place. Like the spring rolls they were fried to perfection. The filling was perfect. The texture was soft and they were seasoned just right. Not too much, or too little. They were served with a cucumber sauce, according to the menu. It looked a lot like the sweet and sour sauce with peanuts on it. Either way, it was delicious. I may need a to-go order over the weekend. I forgot to mention, we were also given a free Crab Rangoon, bonus! The big thing with Thai places is the ability to pick your spice level. Siam has a range of 1 to 10, which is double the range that some other local places have. For some reason, I like the larger range... but this could be purely psychological. When going to a new place for the first time I tend to stick with a dish that I know I like. If they do well with that then I'll come back and branch out. When it comes to Thai, I love Pad Thai. So I ordered it at a spice level 6. My friend ordered the same dish at a level 10! Level 6 had plenty of spice, in fact I'd consider going back to a 5 next time. I'm not sure how my buddy was able to handle a 10. Thankfully they kept the water flowing. In spite of the spice, it was darn good. I couldn't stop eating. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the sauce tasted great, the portion of peanuts was perfect, and the chicken was good too! My only regret was not trying the Thai Iced Tea... Next time Siam.... Next time... and believe me. There WILL be a next time. read more

I ordered for lunch work through Uber Eats. Delivery was efficient and food came hot. I ordered chicken pad thai and crab rangoon. I love the crab rangoon. I ordered the pad thai at spice level 3/10. It was so spicy it was burning my mouth. I could tell the flavor was good but I could hardly eat it. It bummed me out. I'd try again someday. read more

Once again, another Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh doesn't disappoint. Came here before a soccer game at Heinz field and we were the only ones. The place itself is a bit hot but the food was def worth the slight inconvenience. We ended up ordering pad thai, pad kee mow, and pad see ew. We got varying spices from 3-8. All the dishes came out quickly and were amazing. One thing I will say is that I like the way they spice the dishes here. I usually get a 10 at other places but a 7 was good enough for me here. This place is worth a stop if you're ever downtown. read more

Siam was a sold 3.5. The first thing that I noticed was the frigidness of the dinning room. It was uncomfortably chilly and the two space heaters that were running did nothing to heat the space up. I ate my meal with my scarf on and would have worn my hat too but I thought it might look a little low brow. The service was friendly but a little too quick when it came to placing my order. I was given almost no time to review the menu. I had hardly had my coat off before the waitress was back asking me if I already knew what I wanted to eat. This being my first visit and all I did not appreciate that much, but I am sure in future visits it would be a nice touch once I familiarize myself with the menu. I had the steamed pork dumplings and the Garlic pepper with mixed seafood. The dumplings were rubbery and under seasoned and after eating them I wished I had never ordered them. The garlic pepper sauce on my entree is what has me awarding 3 stars to Siam it was very flavorful. But the mixed seafood looked like a horror show with three tiny sad looking shrimp and a cold scallop. For $10.50 I was fed a quarter cup of food and had to eat all of my rice to fill me up. I am in no rush to get back Siam. And the server kept trying to hand my dishes to the man setting next to me. The dining room was not busy at all for them to have gotten my order mixed up. It's cold and flu season I really don't want some stranger pawing my food unnecessarily. read more

The food is great, but getting here can be a challenge. In my case, I was driving from the Uniontown area, and following GPS directions. If you are not from this region, attend to which lane you are told to be in, especially on bridges! Even then, be careful; I was directed to make a left turn at an intersection which had NO TURNS signs posted, and had to loop around in order to get to a nearby parking ramp. This is a small place, and might be easy to overlook, but it was busy when we were there, late in the lunch hour, with more people coming in after us. The decoration may not be attractive, and the plates and glasses might look like they were acquired at a thrift store, but they are all clean...and you are going to get wonderful food. We ordered Thai iced tea, which was just the right flavor; I've been to a number of Thai restaurants across the USA, and the drink (and food!) were consistent with the best of them. We also got a complimentary cream-cheese wonton, with a little dipping sauce. We had ordered a samosa appetizer, which was crispy outside and steamy inside. This was a great way to start the meal: Something tasty, but it didn't fill you up. I ordered the Siam Tofu, steamed vegetables and crispy tofu with a Thai peanut sauce. There was a small amount of pooled water on the plate from the vegetables, which thinned the sauce a bit, but it was still flavorful. The tofu was served in long-but-wide planks, so I found a bite-size was achieved by cutting those in two. The side of rice came molded into a heart shape, which was very appealing, visually. My companion ordered the Pad Kee Mao, drunken noodles with tofu, and enjoyed it very much. It is one of her favorite dishes at Thai places, and she kept the leftovers from hers to eat later. One point on ordering: Spiciness. They have a ten-point scale, from 1 being no spice, to 10 being very spicy. The waiter told us that 3 is a good medium spice point to start with, and I agree. There was enough to notice and feel it, but it wasn't overwhelming. We had leftovers which we took with, and enjoyed later on our trip. The menu made me wish it was close enough for us to visit again! read more
