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

While in the mood for something other than an elephant scab on a bun for lunch today, I walked into Siam Thai to see what they were like. The place was nearly empty when I walked in with the exception of one couple already seated. Granted, we had a ton of snow dumped on us this morning so I didn't take the lack of business as a sign that there was anything wrong with the place. I was greeted cheerfully when I walked in and was seated immediately. Within a minute I had a menu, a glass of water and a single ragoon on a plate with sauce. Looking over the menu I decided on the Stir Fried Broccoli. With each meal you get your choice of chicken, pork, tofu, beef, duck or shrimp. I originally was going to go with the duck but since they were out of that on this particular day I went with the beef. I was also asked to what degree of spiciness I would like and I went with an 8 on a 1 to 10 scale. The meal was in front of me within five minutes. The rice came molded into a heart-shape which I thought was a nice touch. The broccoli and carrots were good and crunchy (not soft and overcooked), the brown sauce had a very good kick to it but sadly the meat was awful! It was all tough and gristly making me wish that they had the duck available or that I would have chosen chicken instead. My bill came to a little over $10. The service was fast and friendly, the atmosphere was comfortable and this place has a lot going for it... but it's not even close to being the quality of Nicky's Thai Kitchen on Penn. I give it a 3 star mainly due to the meat. 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

The chief's mood and the service is very unsteady I think. 1) the spicy level- sometimes level 2 is two spicy, and sometimes level 6 is not spicy at all. But you can always play safe to order a low level of spiciness and ask for a side of pepper flakes 2) the amount - sometimes they make a small portion, sometimes I feel like they put two orders into one plate, today's was super big! Which is good but I got too full. Haha 3) speed - it can be fast within 5 minutes or it can be quite a wait like 20,30minutes. Maybe you colleges or friends are finishing their meal while yours just got out of kitchen. So it really depends! But the taste is always good! Haven't been disappointed even once, Pak kee mow is my favorite!!! read more

Siam Thai Restaurant - Pad kee maw - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

In Pittsburgh for the work day & this place was recommended by colleagues. Small, cosy eatery that's tucked away in one of downtown Pitt's side streets so it's easy to miss if you don't know where you're going. Not as busy as you'd expect during the lunch hour and we were seated immediately. I ordered the spicy fried rice with beef. I'm a spicy eater so ordered it level 10. I've noticed a lot of Thai restaurants don't deliver on the spice level but not this spot! I was definitely glowing by the end of lunch! The combination of spices was excellent & the meat was fresh & tender. The rice also, was well made & not clumpy. All important factors for me that show that each element of the dish is freshly prepared. They also served a crab Rangoon as a complimentary appetizer; a nice touch & delicious to boot. All in all, if you're in downtown Pitt & have a hankering for Thai...you could do a lot worse! read more

I decided to give this place a second chance ..... the food was good but the service was awful The server was extremely rude even while the owner was there ...I will never go back,Nicky'sThai Kitchen will be my choice read more

Siam Thai Restaurant - The pad thai with tofu is the most amazing thing spicy level 6 is what I picked and it is PERFECT! Will definitely be back for more goodies! - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I am absolutely in love with this restaurant! The god is always wonderful, the staff is kind and effective at their job and always makes sure lunch is made fast and so it fits into your break. Their sticky rice is especially delicious because they put coconut milk in it to make it sweet!! Check this place out, it is the best Thai in the area. read more

This place is very good and cheap. Today I got the spicy tail rice as a #7 and wow was that hot. Food is reasonable at 8.50 and water is free. The people are very nice and welcoming. Normally it gets packed and has a small area for eating. Arrive early or after 1 and it will die down a little. read more

Love their pad see ew and crab rangoons, we order from here pretty regularly and the quality/spice levels are consistent.

I've only been here once but the spring roll and drunken noodles were excellent. They have hot oil and thai hot pepper flakes on the table to add yourself and the oil is delicious. Prices are cheap, and the menu is filled with your standard Thai options. I plan on working my way thru the menu read more

Love this place! I go here at least once a week and have tried about six things on their menu. The food is always fresh and you get large portions. I would compare it positively to any other Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh. The atmosphere is very casual, nothing fancy. But staff are super nice and the food comes out very quickly. The 1 to 10 rating scale means something here. I get an eight, and it's always quite spicy. Great red curry, pad prik khing, and garlic pepper. You won't go wrong eating here. read more

Good food. Pad Thai was spot on. Don't know why they serve a single, cold crab Rangoon with lunch. Gross. Service was horrible. They ignored me when I walked in for pick up, and worse... My biggest pet peeve.. for a total of $10.13, I paid $11 and she asked if I wanted change. For takeout!!! Maybe it's a cultural difference, but I won't be back. Stick to Angkor in Greentree. read more

I got chicken Pad Thai and asked for it mildly spicy. I should have asked for medium spice because it came out pink and tasted sweet. The Thai iced tea was good though! read more

Travel by PIT heard so much abt this thai restaurant, when I get there so disappointed. WHY? Because they are not open. Yap show is open , Google show is not until 4pm, fine I can wait.. When I get there see the new business hr , n guess what, after standing on the street waiting n call the phone.. NO ONE answer or no sign of life form! If u can not honor this basic principles, how good ur food can that be ? Can u even keep ur standard? read more

Siam Thai Restaurant - New business hr.. But No one there.. - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

You ever go to a restaurant and they give you a spice scale and you think, damn I love spicy food so you order an 8 or 9? And usually it's kind of hot but overly covered in pepper flakes? This is not that place. You order an 8 you're getting an actual 8. It is HOT. They don't mess around with spice here. They are stone cold serious about spice, and I absolutely love it. Their pad thai is delicous, the spring rolls are awesome and plentiful, and the crab angels are divine. I feel like before I knew this place existed I settled for sub par Thai Food with lack luster seasoning and spice levels. I am forever changed. My mind has been made up. My heart has been filled. The staff is friendly, and for lunch they throw in a free crab angel and sauce! What is not to love about all of that. Their price points are reasonable and their portion sizes are filling and pleasing. They're located in a strange little spot behind the old AIP building downtown on first avenue. Seek them out. Your belly will thank you. read more

Have been a patron for almost five years and have gotten many of my friends to make this their go to spot for quick Thai food. Consistently good with plenty of heat in their dishes (for those that want it). Always friendly and great for a quick lunch stop. read more

Very unassuming spot with great food! I had driven by, but never stopped in until today. Hmmm...good food. Nice atmosphere. Great for a quick business lunch. Big Plus: Nice portions. We had no leftovers. It was a nice lunch size portion. They start with a small little appetizer. The menu is small, but has a nice variety. The food came out very quickly. Definitely a place you could go with 1/2 hour. I had 3.5 spice on the green curry; trying to keep it light during work hours. It had quite the kick so be cautious around your spice scale when ordering. All-in-all, a nice lunch experience. I would definitely go back. read more

Went here twice in the last few weeks and the food is very good. The first time I had the pineapple curry with chicken. The curry was slightly sweet with just the right amount of spicy heat. The second trip here I ordered basil chicken. It was tender juicy chicken with a nice brown sauce,green pepper, onion and fresh basil. Also very delicious!! Anytime I'm in downtown Pittsburgh I'll be stopping here to try more Thai food. read more

Quick service and welcoming. I had the spicy Thai rice with chicken. Really good. Apparently my review can be 2 sentences long so I had to right this sentence as well. read more

Siam Thai Restaurant - Thai Spicy Fried Rice w/ Chicken - Thai Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I stopped here after the restaurant I wanted to go to mysteriously closed. Their food is very yummy. The staff is pleasant and I will definitely be back. I looked into my bag and smiled that I got a free treat added into my bag. I never knew this place was there and it's definitely a gem. read more

Since opening, this place has perfect nearly every dish. Be careful when ordering spicy though, they tend to lay it on heavy.

I went here for lunch while I was at work. I ordered the Pad Kee Mow. The food came out very quick (however I was brought Pad Thai). I let the server know and he just took it back and brought me a new dish about 5 minutes later. I'm pretty sure I was given Pad See Ew because of how it tasted. I didn't say anything and just ate it. The food was great and service was quick but could've been better if I was given the right food. read more

I've been there several times for lunch and it is almost always good; however, I ordered takeout for dinner since I was downtown and my drunken noodles aka pad kee mao was tasteless. Kee mao is supposed to be a little bit spicy even if you order a lower level spice but this was almost inedible. Also, they did not give us any utensils or napkins for takeout or even offer them. We were staying at a hotel downtown so they were actually necessary. I'm leaving it at 3 stars since it's usually good at lunch but definitely a disappointing dinner experience. I'll stick to my usual thai places for dinner: Smiling Banana Leaf, Thai Cuisine, and NoodleHead from now on! read more

Hidden gem. I go for lunch and dinner. Their pad Thai is really good. The dumplings and spring rolls are the best around. Service is usually very quick. read more

Honestly, I was a little bit disappointed. I ordered the Pad Thai and it was incredibly dry and sort of bland flavor-wise. On top of that, my mango juice tasted like onion which was pretty odd. Overall, you get a good amount of food for what you're paying, but the quality really isn't the best. Average dinner for me and my taste buds. read more

Lunch service was fast and accurate. I asked for an 8 spice level and that's exactly what I got, which is refreshing. Rive was a tad overcooked but the cashew tofu was perfect. The vegetables weren't overcooked and they did not skimp! Will be back weekly at this point. read more

Today I wanted something different for lunch, so I ordered take out from Siam. I ate lunch in a couple times but many years ago and always had good service (I ordered pineapple fried rice back then, delish) I know they closed and reopened so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. I ordered pineapple curry with chicken, level 6. It was waiting for me after 20 minutes. I will say, the dining room was packed and very loud, I could barely hear the cashier tell me my total. My lunch was $9.10 plus tip and it is amazing! The crab Rangoon was a nice surprise and totally delicious, the curry is even better! I will definitely be back to try the fried rice again! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh. Friendly staff, good taste food and great price. Highly recommend.

I ordered lunch from here recently via GrubHub, and it was much better than the last place I tried. I got chicken Pad Thai and a coke, and it took less than half an hour for my food to arrive. The Pad Thai had a delicious reddish sauce that wasn't too sweet, and the chicken and vegetables were all up to par. The spice level actually had a kick to it as well, so keep that in mind when ordering. Given the very generous portion size (particularly for such a cheap lunch price) I know I'll be keeping Siam Thai Restaurant in mind for future GrubHub orders. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Delicious food & generous portions. SOOOOOO much better then Nicky's Thai! (maybe not so much the atmosphere, as it is pretty outdated, but the food is amazing) read more

They seem to be mind readers because the food comes extremely fast and the prices are great. Samosas are yummy, soup is a nice spicy broth with tofu and mushrooms and the pad see ew and pad kee mow are your standard noodle dishes. If you like spicy I would probably go with a 9 or 10. I got an 8 and definitely could have handled more spice. read more

Good place to eat, hole in the wall but always busy. I've eaten here a dozen times or so with friends and my wife, who both liked the food. Consistency is spotty. You either get a home run great food or an oh well maybe next time meal. If in the downtown area is worth a visit. read more

The only thing I have tried here is the Thai Fried Rice. It is delicious. In my opinion this fried rice is better than that of the other Thai spot downtown, Nicky's. read more

Great Thai food. Some of the best in Pittsburgh. The restaurant is definitely run down and the bathrooms aren't a heated but the food is great! read more

Pad Thai was delicious! Service was good, despite it being a very busy lunch rush. I gave four stars because our spring rolls were cold on the inside and the Thai iced tea was sweeter than normal. Otherwise everything was great and I will be back. read more
