Siam Thai Eatery Chicago

A very beautiful restaurant located in the South Loop area. The staff were very friendly and quite professional, but we came when they were very busy, per one of the staff members, so waited a little longer than usual for some service and dishes. Most of the dishes were quite good and the portions were very generous, but a few did not have that Thailand flavor. I had Pad Kra Pow, Green Curry Chicken, and Tom Kha Coconut Soup with chicken, and my friend had Pad Thai and coconut ice cream. The Pad Kra Pow was a good dish, but didn't taste authentic. I saw basil in this dish, but i believe it was missing Holy Basil, a specific ingredient that makes this dish one of Thailand's most popular choices. The Green Curry Chicken was quite delicious and hit the mark on tasting like authentic Thai cuisine, but the Tom Kha Coconut Chicken soup missed the mark and was my Ieast favorite dish, and didn't come close to pleasing my palate. My friend enjoyed her usual choice of Pad Thai, but was annoyed because she asked for plain, but received the dish with jumbo shrimp. The coconut ice cream was a very tasty treat for dessert. I will definitely return to this restaurant and try other dishes, because the ambiance was very nice and the food reasonably priced with good portions.

This is a must visit spot for everyone. Hands down the best Thai food in Chicago! The service is top-notch .Jack was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout the meal. Highly recommend ordering the -Tom Yum. The flavor is beautifully balanced tangy, aromatic, and not too spicy. Though if you're sensitive to heat, it might be a bit much, but still very flavorful. -The Crispy Pork Basil (Pad Kra Pao) tasted authentically Thai, just like what you'd find in Bangkok. -The Pad Thai and the Siam Platter are absolute must-tries bold, delicious, and well-portioned. Also, it's a BYOB spot, so feel free to bring your favorite drink. We ordered 5–6 dishes, and the total was just $130 a great deal considering the generous portion sizes and quality. Highly recommended!

The only positive here is the service, which was good, so I’m giving two stars. The food, unfortunately, was very disappointing. We’re big fans of Thai cuisine, but this place was well below expectations. The chicken in multiple dishes did not feel properly cooked. The chicken satay was just okay. The chicken fried rice was the worst, the chicken still felt raw and the rice had no flavor. The chicken pad thai wasn’t good either. The Thai tea was the only item we actually enjoyed. Given the pricing and the quality of food, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

Siam Pad Thai Eatery was an amazing find! The cozy atmosphere, dim lighting, and private side booths make it perfect for a casual lunch or even a couples’ outing. The food was excellent and the service matched the experience. I highly recommend trying the fried fish salad “Garden Fish” with mango—it was outstanding—and the Pad Kara Pao, which was packed with flavor. Mango sticky rice dessert was amazing. The presentation of each dish was also top-notch. A place I’d definitely recommend and return to.

Top Thai food spot in Chicago! This restaurant serves a range of authentic foods along with amazing and quick service. The food was amazing, and the aesthetic of the place? OH. MY. GOD. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. The place looks modern and historic at the same time.

5 stars all around. Beautiful restaurant, great food, polite staff! I loved my Pad Kra Pao! I always ask for hot and get spicy but here if you ask for hot you get 🔥! My Thai wife had Kana Mhoo Krob and said it taste like Thailand, and she never says that anywhere. We will be back to try more of the menu and cannot wait until then 😀

First time around a few months ago was great. Our visit yesterday was really bad, however. Chicken tasted like it was frozen and then microwaved, something was super off about that. Pineapple fried rice was bad, but they replaced it with another fried rice which was ok. Not sure if it was just an off day but yeah not returning.

Excellent drunken noodles, especially with the ribeye. The green curry was fine, not super potent but still full of flavor. The coconut soup was unlike most other tom kha soups I’ve had, almost like a mix with chicken noodle. It didn’t have enough lemongrass or lime for my preference, but still overall positive. The price is cheaper than many other places I’ve ate in the city. Very good.

I've ordered takeout from Siam Thai eatery twice, and I'm blown away. This is, without a doubt, the best and most authentic Thai food I've ever had in Chicago. I'm officially hooked. It's not just standard takeout; the food arrives incredibly fresh, with beautiful presentation. You can taste the quality. The flavors have that perfect, bright balance that real Thai food should have. Two dishes are absolute must-tries: The Pad See Ew with Ribeye is a brilliant upgrade to a classic, with incredibly tender steak. And the Crying Tiger Steak is just wow. The steak was cooked perfectly, but the smoky, tangy, addictive dipping sauce is unforgettable. I'm already planning my next order. Highly recommended!

I've been back a couple of times now, (once for eat-in, once for carry-out), so it seems worth leaving an updated review. I think Siam Thai Eatery continues to shine on its more unique/special offerings. Most recently, we tried the Crab Curry with Roti, and it was scrumptious! The Crab and Pomelo Salad remains a favorite since our first visit, as do the Money Bag Dumplings, and I can't overstate how much I enjoyed the Duck Curry my first visit. All in all, it's still a great place to order a wide variety of dishes to share. That said, I found the noodles in the Pad Thai I recently had to be overcooked/broken, and the Roasted Organic Chicken was so overdone (guessing from roasting and reheating), that many pieces didn't have any discernible chicken meat left on them to eat. (It seemed we had a lot of cut up backbone pieces mixed in as well.) It is also a little tiring that we continue to be offered tiny plates with which to manage a number of appetizers and entrees. (We requested larger plates after all of the dishes arrived and got to about salad-sized plates.) One additional thing to note, the kitchen does seem to close well before the closing time identified on Google. We wanted to get some carryout on a Saturday night, and called ahead as we walked there to facilitate. We were told we had to get the order in immediately, even though it was still about ~40-45 minutes to close and we were approaching the front door of the restaurant. Upon entry, and seeing the restaurant about half full of diners, we were still pressured to forego a menu to complete the order. We got our food boxed and ready to go in about 5 minutes and were out the door, but honestly the experience was a bit frustrating. It would be good to make kitchen closing times more clear via online information if applicable. All of that said, I still think this is an objectively great Thai place, and a gem if you're in the neighborhood. Just some nits for improvement.

Once upon a time (pre-COVID), there used to be a few good Thai spots in the Loop, but not anymore -- and we love Thai food. So when I saw this new place mentioned in Crain's earlier this year, I was excited to check it out! It's right on Michigan Ave with easy street parking. The ambiance is really nice -- soft music, cozy vibe, and easy to have a conversation without yelling over the noise. We ordered the Green Curry with Tofu, Pad Kee Mao, Pad See Eiw, and Chive Cakes. Everything was authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. Honestly, some of the best Thai food we've had in a while. Highly recommend! Service was good, not much conversation but they were very nice.

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.

We got Siam Thai eatery for takeout and it was a great choice. The spices and flavors were all great plenty of food you get that you can easily have leftovers for the next day. The website makes it easy to order online and they are efficient and you aren't waiting too long for your food. A great traditional Thai place to grab dinner.

First time Thai experience...10/10! This is a nicely decorated restaurant with some really good food. We stopped by on a Wednesday night and the place was not busy at all! Greeted and the door and taken directly to our seats. Also have to add we did not have reservations! The food came out fast, fresh and hot! Star of the show for me have to be the wings! Definitely will be back!

Had reservations for this place at 5pm on a Sunday. I was running late, but my friend got here and checked in. I believe they said they'd just sit us when I arrived. I was about 15 minutes behind, but they sat us immediately. When we were there it wasn't too busy, but over the course of the next few hours it filled up pretty quickly. We had great wait staff the entire night including our main server, Donovan, who took care of us greatly. Since they are BYOB currently, we brought a few Soju bottles and they were kind enough to provide us shot glasses as well as a bottle opener even though we didn't need that one specifically. We ordered a satay chicken skewer starter which was very good. We were both very happy with that recommendation from the server. We also ended up getting the pad kee mao and the red duck curry (boned in) and they were both delicious. I think I liked the red duck curry the most though. I typically love pad kee mao, but I wouldn't rate it super high here or necessarily get it again here. I was a bit bummed that the pad kee mao also did not live up at all to the spice level that is indicated on the menu. It showed two thai chilis next to it which one would think would make it spicy, but we did not notice any difference at all. We had to ask for some chili paste and chili powder to add to it unfortunately. They were great about water refills and checked on us often ensuring a great experience here. We also really liked the atmosphere here. The lighting is a bit dimmer and great for a date or catching up with friends/family. Will definitely come back if I'm in the area. It's only a 10 minute walk from the Roosevelt CTA station which makes it convenient to get to.

We hit this spot after a quick change of plans and a desire for some good Thai food. This was a spot that we hadn't visited, but figured we'd give it a try on a Friday night. We had no reservation and arrived about 630. Luckily we got a table without waiting, but I did ask and was told a reservation is always safer. we tried a bunch of different dishes and they were also tasty. Not "amazing" but very very good. The portion sizes were "solid" and we left without any leftovers (we usually have some when we go out) The Siam platter was pretty good. I'm not a fan of chicken thighs, so the skewers weren't my favorite. The money bag dumplings were easily my favorite and I'd just order these. The chive pancake was gooey/ sticky and not great. The fried roti was good. the dipping sauces (4) were tasty... The red curry was subtle but good. We did it with tofu (not on menu). The portion was good. it could have used a bit more sauce. As it was a little dry. the pad see ew was a reco from our server. we would have done the rice or pad Thai. It was good, but not nearly as flavorful as I'd hoped. I wouldn't order than next time. WE ate the mango sticky rice the next day, so it's not fair of me to share my take here. There was a lot of mango though. The papaya salad wasn't as good a lot of other ones we've had elsewhere.

Siam Thai Eatery is now on my favorites list! Located so close to home I absolutely can see myself frequenting here. I came here on a solo date on a Friday, I had a reservation however, at 5p/6p I did observe plenty of open seating for potential walk-ins. The staff was friendly and efficient, as was the service. I received my food hot and fresh shortly after ordering. As for the food, YUM YUM YUM. For starters I got the curry crab which came accompanied by pita. So creamy and such bold curry flavor, with fried crab. I couldn't put it down. For my main I ordered Pad Kee Mao with ribeye. Amazing with tender beef, amazing spice that was not too overpowering with yummy tender flat noodles. A star of the show, for sure. I will make mention this spot is BYOB so don't be like me and bring some wine to pair with your thai! I do recommend their mocktails though very yummy!

Came here the other day for dinner and had a good experience. We waited around 8 minutes for a table after our reservation, but we were served immediately. The inside was bustling when we came for a 6:30 dinner which was a good sign, and the interior is well decorated. We started with the grilled pork jowl which was absolutely delicious, juicy, and the sauce that came with it was perfect. I got the chicken pad Thai which was good, my sister got the ribeye basil and it was pretty spicy but a good dish also. Portions were huge, we had enough for leftovers. Our server forgot our hibiscus lemonades, but comped one for us for the inconvenience which was nice. The service seemed overwhelmed and like they were running around, I know this place is new but I can tell they're still working our kinks. Overall: great Thai food in a cool restaurant, but service could be better.

This place opened not too long ago. I went when they first opened as well as today! I don't think they've quite nailed the consistency of their foods yet. I've noticed the foods are slightly different as well as color of curry. For more context, there was quite a number of flies and unfortunately one landed in our curry crab dish. They remade it but I noticed the color of the curry dish was lighter & spicier than before. It was still pretty delicious despite the inconsistencies! The pad Thai was lacking flavor and leaned on the drier side. I was a little disappointed because I looove pad Thai. The papaya salad, on the other hand, was refreshing and citricy and packed with bold flavors. I highly recommend getting the Siam platter sampler. You get to try four different apps and lowkey filling too. I also enjoyed the mango sticky rice! One of my fav desserts of all times and this place has one of the best in Chicago. But fyi it's a little on the sweeter side. I love the interior of this place. It's a pretty modern Thai place, such a great addition to south loop. I also have to give credit to the service. It was exceptional!

Ordered the money bags for an appetizer, and it was good but we got 5 for two people. We also ordered pad thatlo, and it was pretty much same as pad thai anywhere else. The only thing is the shrimp came with tails, which yoi had to pull off on your own. We also ordered the duck curry, boneless, but at least three pieces of the duck had bones or bristle. The sauce was good but the rest of the dish wasn't too special. Jack, our server, had no personality. He looked pissed off at something. I felt rushed to finish, and he was distracted when he was taking our order. It was also.unsuually warm inside. Water was served without ice, but the guy pouring our water was happy to bring cups of ice. I honestly would prefer going to Asian Outpost, a place we've gone to many times before, than here. But, I guess you have to try a place to decide.

My friend and I met up at Siam Thai Eatery located in the South Loop. We made a reservation for 1:30 PM on a Friday, and there were quite a few tables available at that time. Despite it being non-rush hour with open tables, the host asked us to wait at the bar until our full party arrived. Therefore, it is wise to ensure everyone arrives on time, or you will not be seated. The decoration of the restaurant is Modern, it is clean and spacious. Four of us were assigned to one of the booths. Drinks We all ordered the Thai iced tea. It was standard in flavor -- not overly sweet. Appetizer Grilled Pork Jowl - Each thin slice of pork shoulder was juicy and flavorful. Paired with the chilled oils, it elevated the richness of the pork. Mains Duck Curry - We ordered the bone-in duck curry, they have the boneless option as well. The curry was savory and came with bell peppers and diced pineapple. Highly recommended. Chicken Green Curry - The curry base was flavorful. However, the chicken pieces lacked seasoning, which was a slight downside. Crab Fried Rice - This dish was outstanding. You could find thin strands of crab meat throughout the rice. I could feel the wok heat was well-controlled, resulting in great texture and flavor. The lime on the side was optional and added a refreshing sour note. Shrimp Pad Thai - This was the one dish that i am not satisfied with. Unlike the typical Pad Thai I had in Thailand, this version had an unusual sour flavor in the noodles. It tasted somewhat like pickled seasoning, which I did not enjoy at all. I hope the restaurant reviews this dish and considers adjusting the recipe. All in all, my experience at Siam Thai Eatery was very positive. I highly recommend the duck curry and the crab fried rice. The food quality and presentation were excellent!!

I dined at Siam Thai Eatery for a late lunch on Monday, May 5, 2025 at 1:30 pm. The restaurant has a unique classy feel with the gold tones accentuating the dark blacks and overhanging greenery. The restaurant was a dimly lit. I honestly thought it looked closed because of how dark it was and how very few diners there were inside. I was very pleased with the authenticity of the food here. The money bag dumplings had a nice presentation and it was evident that the dumplings were wrapped meticulously. They tasted flavorful with its simple plum sauce. The pad kee mao had that nice smoky char flavor that is an indication of a very authentic Thai restaurant. The noodles were spicy but oh so delicious. Service was excellent. It was very thoughtful that the server provided us recommendations from the menu. Drinks were refilled and the food came out pretty fast. If you're in the area and looking to try some authentic tasty Thai plates in a posh ambience, I'd highly recommend Siam Thai Eatery.

The vibes are immaculate in here - so gorgeous with tones of gold, bronze, and plants/fake florals everywhere!! Definitely the prettiest Thai restaurant I've ever been to. The food also DELIVERS!! We started with the papaya salad, which is spicier than you think but still def manageable. The combo of green papaya with peanuts and the tangy refreshing dressing helped open up my appetite!! Usually not a fan of papaya salad, but loved this one! The siam platter is so cool - comes with four different items of four each (money bag dumplings, chive cakes, chicken satay, and puffy pastries). A great deal, and each item was yum!! Money bag dumplings were so crispy and light on the outside and juicy on the inside (does have shrimp and pork). Chive cakes had a mochi like texture, and satay paired super well with their peanut sauce. Best dish was def green chicken curry, served with rice! A huge portion and the rice was served like a mountain - so cute! Flavors were immaculate, not too runny, absolutely delicious! Our server was super friendly and our water was always filled so quickly!! Definitely try to make a reservation - the place was packed for hours starting from 12:30pm or so!

First, let's talk about the food--every single dish was delicious! I honestly wanted to keep eating. It was my birthday, and we had a party of seven. We ordered family style: two salads, three appetizers, and about four to five main entrées. Did I mention it's BYOB with no corkage fee? Such a huge plus! Overall, everything was perfect, except I wish our waiter had been a little friendlier. He seemed grumpy and like he didn't want to be there, which took away from the otherwise wonderful experience.

Ambiance: 5/5 The decor inside is really nice with seating for smaller and big parties. Service: 5/5 Everyone is nice, friendly, and attentive. Food: 3/5 Not gonna lie, we had higher expectations, but overall, the experience was very mid. The dishes are VERY small and do not have the most authentic taste. With the price of everything, there are definitely better Thai spots to visit. However, their Thai ice tea and sauces were pretty good. Our favs for the night were the green curry w shrimp and crying tiger steak.

This newly opened restaurant serves some creative Thai food. Went there for dinner last week. Lots of people were waiting at the entrance but I was lucky enough to get a seat for one without waiting. I ordered the Duck curry and Summer Roll. The summer roll was basically shrimp, cucumber, mango, carrots, cabbage sliced and wrapped in Vietnam rice paper. Ingredients were fresh. There was too little mango and too much cucumber which made it a bit watery. I tried bone in duck for the Duck curry dish. It was huge, and I enjoyed its sweet-sour taste from the mango and lychee in it. The duck meat itself was, however, not tender enough. They should have pre-cooked the Duck for less time. I guess bone less version would be better. I hope the restaurant can pay more attention to the details of their dishes. Besides, service was good. My server was friendly and kindly informed me about dishes that are deep-fried.

We tried this place on 12/27/25. The take out service was quick, food was ready ahead of the promised time. We ordered chicken pad thai, chicken fried rice, pad see ew with beef, spicy basil chicken, and green chicken curry. It was all so very good! The fried rice had the best flavor I've ever tasted. We will be going back. Such quality.

Ambiance - super cute interior (love the small details), small bar area, great for dates and small groups; reserve more time to look for parking (street parking is limited) Service - definitely recommend making a reservation as it gets busy during dinner time, service was exceptional (servers came to check on us often, food came out quickly, cleared our empty dishes) Food - Tomahawk short rib massaman curry was really good but small portion for price point at $40 Zabb wings were crispy & had a kick to it Khao Soi - noodles were chewier to my liking Red duck curry - duck was moist & loved that they added lychee to it (added a slight sweetness to the dish) Money bag dumplings - reminded me of fried wontons Mango Sticky Rice - wish the mangoes were more ripe/sweeter

Five stars alone for the Siam Platter. Excellent price for the number of appetizers you get to try. Every single appetizer is amazing in flavor. Money bag dumplings have this shatteringly crispy wonton wrapper with juicy meat filling inside. Chicken satay is grilled perfectly and even better with their sweet peanut sauce. Chive cakes have a fried exterior but a really soft and chewy interior. $20 is a steal for how much you get here. This was all I got and this alone was enough for a meal for 2 people.

What a beautiful space! I was truly blown away when we walked in. I can tell they really put in so much thought and intention with the design and implementation. Love seeing this place in South Loop! It's week 2 of them being open, I hope this place sticks around for a long long time. My husband and I went in for lunch today. We ordered the crispy duck red curry and chicken pad see ew. The curry was so flavorful, delicious, and just the right amount of spice. The pad see ew had such umami-- it's incredible. This was probably some of the best Thai food I've had in a while. Their menu is large! So much to choose from. And they have spirits and wine "coming soon". The staff is super nice. And the service was quite quick! Thankfully there was a lot of people there for lunch, so at times it seemed the staff was occupied with other tasks. Only feedback I'd give is that their dining plates are so small!! If you're ordering more than 1 shared dish-- the plate needs to be bigger. Prices are in the higher end for most items but the ambiance, flavor and servings are great!! Can't wait to go back!

Very fun and yet has intimate seating in the booths. The silverware is so cute in the shape of chopsticks.

What a beautiful restaurant that seems unassuming at street front, but is tasteful and an upscale vibe inside. We were greeted warmly and service throughout the meal was really excellent. Everyone was friendly and checked in on us and as they're still somewhat soft opening, asked for feedback. The food was not the typical strip mall fast food Thai. Dishes were presented beautifully and cooked well. Ingredients were elevated and each item was tasty. There were some small tweaks I'd hope for next time, but I'm also anxious to try some other items. The portions were large so even though prices are on the higher end, you could definitely share entrees. Currently no liquor license, but coming soon. We will be back!

My friends really wanted to try this place and wow! This is probably my new favorite Thai restaurant in Chicago. The presentation was amazing and the staff accommodated for one of our friends who's a vegetarian. Some highlights were the crab fried rice, siam platter, and the mango sticky rice! I'll be coming back again!

Best Thai I've had in Chicago so far! Delicious chicken pad kee mao, great and fresh noodles. Tried the $40 massaman tomahawk short rib curry and tbh very tender and flavorful (everything else is normal price). Excellent vibe, very ~luxe~, very fast service, can't wait to come back and try everything else

What an absolutely adorable restaurant! Loved the greenery and interior decor style--felt like a really elevated experience without having to spend an arm and a leg. Food was tasty too, the dumplings on the sampler platter were my favorite and the khao soi had just the right amount of bite to it and tons of chicken. Super fast and friendly service, what more could you want!

This place has it all: Delicious food, great service and a charming atmosphere. We were in town for a conference and stopped here for lunch. It did NOT disappoint. I had the crab fried rice and the Tom

I'd been following the hype around Siam Eatery both before and after they opened, so I was excited to finally check it out--especially since it's nearby (because, let's be real, Chicago traffic). Thai food is a favorite of mine, and I went with a friend on a Saturday to try a few things. The crispy crab roll was a standout -- super flavorful and satisfying. The calamari was just okay -- not bad, but something about it didn't quite hit for me (can't pinpoint what). For the main, we went classic with the shrimp pad Thai, and it was on point. Flavorful, balanced, and tasted really authentic. They're currently BYOB while waiting on their liquor license, which is a nice touch if you come prepared. The ambiance was cozy and modern, though a bit on the dim side lighting-wise. Our server was friendly, laid-back, and the whole staff seemed welcoming. Overall: solid spot with authentic flavors and a chill vibe. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes once they get their full bar up and running.

As someone new to South Loop I try to go out only once or twice a month so it takes me a while to try all the places here (which are pretty few and far between). But I could not wait to try the neighborhood Thai restaurant. I met up with a friend here who I haven't seen in a while, and we both enjoyed the vibe. It's great for a weeknight catch up session. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered pad woon sen with tofu which is my go-to dish. It was incredible--perfect amount of vegetables, crispy tofu, and hot noodles. But it was sooo spicy, even for my taste! It was totally worth the stomach ache I got in the middle of the night (which did not last long). My friend ordered the tom yum seafood soup which was hot, fresh, flavorful, and had a ton of shrimp. I would 100% dine in again or order takeout from here on repeat.

Not as authentic as they say, owned by Chinese. The place is pretty new and very clean inside. Papaya salad and the crab fried rice were pretty bland and flavorless, compared to other Thai spots. The Pad Kee Mao was way too salty with barely any spice or basil flavor. This place is quite pricey. We did not eat much of anything and did not pack leftovers. The server asked if everything was ok, we told her quietly, as we did not want other customers to hear, but nothing happened. So we paid, left hungry and disappointed.

I had high hopes for this place. The restaurant is very beautiful. All the decore is lovely. We got the chive cakes for starters which were okay. Christy on the outside but because of their shape, they were mushy on the inside. The service was really slow so we had to wait at least 30-40 minutes after our starter to get the entrees. The pad see ew was average. The green curry was quite good however. For the prices they charge, I don't think it's worth it. I doubt I'll be back any time soon.

Food was delicious. Service was excellent and ambiance was warm and inviting. Metered street parking.

I've been for the first time here and was very impressed since walk into the restaurant. There are so beautiful all decorations inside, make atmosphere more enjoyable. Plus the foods are delicious and services are great. I really like their Tum yum seafood and crab meat fried rice. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The ambience inside is date oriented with the dim lights and greenery. The service in general seems pretty quick both times that I tried it for lunch and dinner. When it was time to pay, the waitress automatically selected 20% tips for 2 people, which took me by surprise. While not high in this day of tip inflation, I preferred make my own choice. The food is good in general with a decent selection in each category. I liked the Pad Kee Mao (spicy with a kick) and Fried Chicken, very tender. My companion said the Short Rib noodle was delicious. I thought the Pomelo crab salad was refreshing as we do not often see it, but the portion is small for sharing purposes. I'm not a fan of the Duck Curry and Coconut Shrimp as both were overcooked and too dry. The Green Curry Chicken is a safe bet, but nothing too unique. I saw someone order the whole fried fish which looks yummy and I might want to try next. During both times, they probably did not have their alcohol license yet, as that category was not available. I see the potential in this place as there are not too many Thai restaurants nearby.

food: good flavors with good portions, worth checking out this new place service: waiters were nice, food came out fast ambiance: I like the silver ware given, everything was more modern

We stopped in at 5:30pm on a Saturday for an early dinner with our toddler. The place was half empty and we were able to be seated right away, but as we sat the place quickly filled up and there was a wait by the time we left at 6:30pm. You can call to make reservations. We got the Siam platter, green curry chicken, and pad see ew with shrimp. Everything was great and this will be our go to spot for Thai food ! Easily the best Thai restaurant we've been to in Chicago. The Siam platter was a fun way to try a bunch of new things, during our first visit. Our favorites were the money bag dumplings and chicken satay. The platter came with 4 sauces and that was fun to try too. The pad see ew had suuuper wide noodles, almost square! The flavor was sweet and salty, nice balance of veggies. My husband enjoyed it more than I did, I usually prefer pad thai. Our favorite dish of the night was the green curry, really nice flavor and tender chicken. I would definitely get it again, as it was also affordable ($16) compared to the other main dishes. I hope it stays that way. We're definitely excited to try other dishes. The restaurant was nice inside. The bar was nice and the tables too. The floor was interesting and slick, my chair kept sliding as I shifted positions. Another patron nearly slipped. We had our toddler with us and they were very accommodating. Service was sufficient and friendly, not too many check ins.

Saw this place on Chicago Today and wanted to try it. Friends and I went for lunch. It was delicious. The ambience is great. Our waitress was a dream. She was just attentive enough, but distant enough and had great suggestions. In addition to the posted pictures, we had the money bag dumplings, which were delicious. Also the crab fried rice had a generous amount of crab important to note in today's world of artificial crab. I would definitely go back and highly suggest it.

First time here ..... The moment we walk in we fell in love with everything.. from the deco and the atmosphere to the drinks and the dessert... everything was so good... we loved the Siam platter perfect for one person or for a couple of people.. the roasted chicken was great it came with sticky rice, and papaya salad... The pad Thai with Prim rib was my favorite.. Dessert was really good mango sticky rice was nice and warm.. the Thai tea cheese cake could be stronger the icecream was a nice touch.. over all it was great !!!

Just five sentences that describe this place. Service Amazing. Food Amazing. Experience Amazing. Decor Amazing. Our waiter never forgot to fill are water.

Great service and food. Ample portions. The decor is beautiful. Great date night spot.

We walked in to a modern relaxing restaurant with lots of plants hanging from the ceiling. We were quickly seated. After we ordered, the food came out fairly quickly. We ordered the Siam platter, the crispy shrimp cakes, and the calamari for starters. They were all tasty and worth ordering again next time. They came with several kinds of sauces that perfectly complimented the food. Most of us ordered the Hisbiscus Lemonade, definitely a must try. It was not too overly sweet, and had the perfect amount of tang. I recommend trying this new Thai restaurant in the South Loop.

Was in town on business and this was a treat. The space is beautiful and the food was delicious and plentiful. We shared a Tom Ka soup and a noodle dish. Very reasonable prices and great service. I'll be back.

Great new add to South Loop! The space inside is definitely a little swanky, and has a great date night vibe. We saw a mix of folks come out - couples, lots of families, even some smaller business dinners in the back. We came in with a reservation, and they were able to seat us immediately - it was very busy during dinner hours, so not sure how long the walk in wait time was. We ordered the corn salad (this is definitely a skip for next time), kana moo krob (pork belly with chinese broccoli -- pretty good), and Tofu pad thai (excellent). Felt like maybe we had ordered the wrong app to start. Overall, great vibes and very nice service. We'll be back to try a few other items on the menu!

Since seeing reels of Siam Thai Eatery on social media, I put it at the top of my list of restaurants to try! I called in this morning (Monday) to make reservations just in case. The reservation was for 6p and the restaurant wasn't even half full, but by 7:30p, every table was taken. Ordered a Thai tea as my drink, but it was a little too sweet for my taste. For starters, I ordered the spicy pomelo crab salad and the pork jowl. The spicy pomelo crab salad was excellent! Very spicy with lots of Thai chilis. My only complaint is that this appetizer was so small! The pork jowl was grilled perfectly. There was a smoky smell and taste that I really enjoyed and the sauce was so tasty, perfect combination of tart, sweet, umami and fish sauce-y. For entrees, I ordered the crispy duck curry and the kana moo krob (crispy pork belly with Chinese broccoli). The crispy duck curry was very flavorful, seasoned perfectly. I also love that there were pineapple chunks and lychee in it! The kana moo krob was my least favorite dish from the meal. When this dish is offered at any restaurant, I ALWAYS order it. It's hands down my favorite Thai dish. So to my surprise, I didn't really like it here. It was too sweet and too salty. Usually the sauce is lighter which is what I'm used to and what I like. Unfortunately this is a dish I will skip next time. I do plan on returning to try all the noodle dishes and more appetizers! Overall, a great addition for Chicago/ South Loop!

I really wanted to love this place and give it a better review since this a new restaurant just added to our area and we love to support our neighborhood. But unfortunately, our experience was not pleasant last night for dinner. Upon arriving, there was no one to greet us, and the front entrance felt cramped. We had to figure out on our own that we needed to put our name on the waitlist using a tablet that was blocked by a crowd of people waiting. After joining the waitlist, we noticed some people just walking in and getting seated. After about arouminutes with no greeting, we had to approach one of the hosts to check on our wait time. Once we were seated, it took around 20 minutes for our waitress to approach us. We placed our order right away, choosing two appetizers (money bag dumplings and manila clams), a share plate (crying tiger steak), and a noodle dish (pad kee mao). The dumplings appetizer arrived about 30 minutes later. Once we finished that, we waited another 20 minutes or so before we were able to get the attention of our waitress to ask about the status of our food. She went back to the kitchen and brought back to us the noodle dish and informed us that the other appetizer and the steak were still being prepared. We were puzzled as to why a clams appetizer would take that long. When the rest of our food finally arrived, the steak was lukewarm, though the clams appetizer was hot. To be fair, the food itself was flavorful and tasted decent, but the poor service really overshadowed the experience.

We came here for their soft opening and were so impressed! A VERY welcome new addition to South Loop! - Chicken Satay: so tender and juicy with a flavorful dipping sauce and yummy (rice?) puffs on the side - Seafood Tom Yum: extremely flavorful with a good amount of seafood, wish it had just a little more of a kick - Pad See Ew (tofu): the sauce is soaked into the noodles and tofu, veggies are well-cooked - Khao Soi: Tender chicken, pickled veggies added a nice crunch - Thai Tea Cheesecake: A MUST-GET! Not too sweet, the ice cream is so creamy and pairs perfectly - Fresh Young Coconut: refreshing The service was quick and loved the decor. Didn't feel too crowded despite a small space. We can't wait to try more of the menu!

Food is delicious, best thai restaurant i've been to in Chicago. This is the higher end of asian cuisine, although the setting was very clean. Music wasn't too loud, service was quick and accommodating. I recommend trying the appetizer platter, but the chicken satay was the best one! Also khao soi, a thck savory creamy curry coconut based broth with beef short rib was 10/10. The spice level for all the dishes were tolerable, but i'm sure you can always ask to increase the spice level too. Only downfall is that their drinks are too small.

Siam Thai Eatery is an absolute gem. There was not a single thing that our table didn't enjoy. The green curry was heart warming and the rice was cooked to perfect. I also thought the hibiscus lemonade was a nice refreshing drink. As soon as you enter the restaurant you are transported into a different place! I appreciate how thoughtful the seating was to maximize the space in the restaurant without feeling crowded. The staff was super friendly and helpful. If you are in the mood for Thai food you will love Siam Thai.
