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.

When walking in, the decor is captivating. Love the greenery and super cute booth seats. They are currently byob. I believe they charge for cork fee. Appetizer - Siam platter This is great for sharing as you get to sample the money bag, chives cake, chicken satay skewers Entree - Tomahawk short rib massaman curry This was amazing! If you love curry, sweet coconut flavor, this is it. The meat is super tender. Served with pita, but I think this would be best served with rice - kana moo krob If you had roasted pork before, this is what is used to be stir fried with garlic and Chinese broccoli. The garlic flavor made everything super delicious. Came with a bowl of white rice and everyone that I went with went for seconds. - chicken pad see ew Typical pad see ew Drinks - iced Thai coffee - iced Thai tea Overall, highly recommend! I am definitely going to go back for the tomahawk curry, and the Siam platter!
