Siam Thai Cuisine

Last time I reviewed this spot, it was called Tara Thai. Under new management, Siam Thai is definitely better than its predecessor!We ordered chicken pad Thai, basil fried rice with pork, and pad see ew with chicken. We'd order all three again in a heartbeat- though the take out containers were a bit small (though I think that's the new normal), they were filled to the brim, with plenty of protein, and the price was fair. Please note that I asked for "mild" spicy basil fried rice. I can't tolerate much spice and it had the perfect amount of heat. They cater to your spiciness request and I'm appreciative!We can't wait to return and try some of their other dishes (namely the duck dishes (Tara Thai didn't have those, at least that I recall)).

We ordered to go the following: Shrimp pad Thai, chicken Tom yum soup, Siamese beef, and crab fried rice. Overall 3/5 stars for a few reasons. First, everything tasted on the sweet side to the point that we put the crab rice and the beef back on the stove and had to doctor the flavor. Also, the crab fried rice was too wet and needed to be dried out (who wants soggy rice?!). Third, the soup was also on the sweeter side with minimal chicken. The pad Thai was the saving grace of the meal really but we were disappointed with how our selections turned out overall.

Met up with an old friend for early dinner at Siam's (once Tara Thai). I have ordered take out from there a number of times but this was my first time dining in. Cute location with a few lounge seats and a bar, though I'm not sure if there's a bartender. Initially we were the only ones there while folks came in and out picking up take out. As it got later, I could see our server was certainly getting her steps in as she took orders, answered calls, brought over drinks, etc. But she never lost of composure and kept a smile. Our food came out promptly. We shared the green veggie curry and veggie pad thai and both were good. I favored the pad thai, sweet but I liked it. Miscellaneous needs were a little slow ie needing new silverware, getting the check etc but again, had limited staffing. Would be back though.

My friend had been raving to me about how good the Pad See Ew is here, and that they can make many of the dishes that normally aren't gluten-free to be gluten-free. We came to eat here in person and upon looking at the menu, I was worried that I wouldn't have many options to choose from because the menu didn't list tofu as a protein option for any of the rice or noodle dishes. But I asked if the Pad See Ew could be made with tofu and they said yes, so I asked for that to be made gluten-free and with no egg.And it was one of the better Pad See Ew dishes I've had. Maybe just a tad on the saltier side, but it wasn't too bad. Lots of tofu, too, so I'm glad they didn't skimp on the protein. It was on the quieter side so it wasn't crowded and service was quick. I was a little puzzled by the decor inside - it was just barely February and they'd already put up decorations for Easter. Just amusing to see.

We chose this restaurant because we heard the food was good, and it was exceptional, and the wait staff was very prompt and courteous as well as professional.We will definitely be coming back this this spot !!!!

As many times I've passed by this place, I finally decided to say "Why not". The food presentation wasn't bad, the taste was great, the restaurant was very clean with great customer service from the lovely staff. My only issue is that for this small portion, I paid around $22 for seafood fried rice. It felt like a free trial. I have another place that has a similar dish (Shrimp, Crab Salmon Fried Rice) for $25, and let me tell you, it'll last three days max. That's how big of a portion they serve you at that price. It'll also serve two people (depending on how greedy the second person gets. It's me, I'm greedy).I would only go back if they increased the portion, not the price. Overall, it's not bad.

Ordered Pad Kapow Chicken. I was very dissatisfied. The chicken pieces were flat and big. The taste was okay but the sauce was very watery. My husband got drunken noodles which is his favorite. The flavor was not there. We know the name of the restaurant changed. What happened? Is there a different Chef? Dishes in the past have better.

There is a sign posted at the front door stating that 18% gratuity will be added onto your bill when you dine in. While the food was good, we only saw the waitress twice the whole two hours we were there. As a customer, I should determine, how much gratuity you get. I will not be dining there again.

We went for a quick light lunch. Unfortunately, the food was not great the Pad Thai was rather bland and not well seasoned. The crispy duck was fried well, but soaked in a pre-made sauce.

Finally, some decent Thai food in Hyattsville! It has been depressingly bad until now. The change in ownership from Tara Thai to Siam Thai thankfully also came with new and better recipes, if you like real Thai food that's not deliberately made to be blander for American audiences. I asked for spicy, and it was actually spicy! Great version of Khao Soi, which can be hard to find and they even use drumsticks like they do in Chiang Mai, where the dish is from. As long as the food holds up, this will be my new go-to!
