Siam Thai

I was in the Hyde Park Area in Chicago and my dad and I were going to get a deli sandwich and we happened upon this delightful place. I grew up going to restaurants in this area. We were immediately greeted by a member of the waitstaff who promptly seated us. We decided to split a plate, and to add a couple of things and the servings were generous. It was enough for my dad to take a little snack home for tomorrow. We ordered the dinner special and we had chicken fried rice, soup, an egg roll, and a cucumber salad. We also ordered spring roll and everything was delicious and fresh. There was a generous amount of chicken breast, and vegetables. The staff was so friendly and they were very accommodating. The soup was so delicious we ordered some for my dad to take home.

Ordered UBEReats. My mom wishes there was 2.5 star, but when did you change the crab Rangoon and think customers wouldn’t notice? I’ve yet to have a chive dominate mushy crab Rangoon (pic below). I’m taken aback as who doesn’t love crab Rangoon. Fried rice was meh today.

I went here with my friend on a windy day and got the dinner special. We also split the chive dumplings. The dumplings were very cozy and the sauce was really good alongside them. For the special, I got the green curry and the curry was one of the best I’ve had. It was served with an egg roll (very crispy, the dough was delicious) and soup, which was also really good. The staff is really nice and the food came in good timing. Calm atmosphere and the place is really cozy as well. Overall I would definitely recommend.

We had a great dinner here. We ordered curry fried rice w/ beef and pad thai w/ chicken. The dinner set comes with salad, soup and spring roll. We enjoy the soup the best.

The Veggie Pad Thai was great. However, I had hair on my plate so I had to return it and wait longer to eat. The restaurant is cute and small. I feel that the employees need to wear hairnets because all employees had their hair down or in ponytails. It’s very easy for hair to get in people’s food. I tried this spot, it was ok but I won’t go back.

The place offers several dishes at a moderate price. This Thai place would be simply my favourite place if I were again in Chicago. You can see the costumer coming and ordering, that tells me about the good taste of people and I was not wrong.

Very happy with this place. We got takeout for dinner and the prices were very reasonable. The dinner special is $13 and is a great value; you get a nice portion of soup, a normal-sized entrée, an egg roll , and a cucumber salad. We got two curries (mussaman and panang) and drunken noodles and we thought everything was delicious. Only gripe is I wasn't able to order through their website, but that's not a big deal. We'll happily come back here next time we want Thai food!

Siam might not be the most authentic Thai restaurant in Chicago, but it is the warmest place for Thai students around University of Chicago. They serve students here generation after generation. The food tastes home to me. Catfish basil was the dish that we always fought for the last piece. The fried tilapia topped with special sauce is another dish we always ordered in the time of celebration. When I visited the restaurant last time, my friend who was there for the first time ordered the simple soup and it was amazingly good! I will definitely come back for food here when I visited U of Chicago again.
