    This is the real deal. The food is outstanding across the board - best Thai food I have had outside of Thailand in the South Bay. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Also beer is served at perfect temperature. I notice so many places think it is ok to serve beer that is improperly chilled. It is small and gets filled up rather quickly - YOU NEED TO BE PATIENT HERE - IT IS WORTH IT. They are very kind, hard working people. They are not into obnoxious, impatient farang's so leave that shit at home

    We get seated and get our waters and after seeing there's some sort of residue inside the cup I asked for a new cup of water. She brings a different glass of water and says "you need another cup?". At first I said no but after looking at the new cup there was lipstick on it. She gave me a dirtier cup just to mess with me. Thanks for your shitty service.

    Great thai food at a decent price. I had the chicken green curry, fried catfish, and the drunken noodles. Every single dish was delicious along with good service by the staff.

    Very small and right space, but the food is delicious! 5/6 of my friends ordered Pad See Ew. They had strong flavors, and I hope to come back one day when I visit NorCal!

    I love MY THAI food! Thai food, along with many other Asian cuisines, ranks at the top of my list. Siam Fine Thai Cuisine (SFTC) has been on my radar since I moved to The Bay Area in June of last year. Since I haven't hungout with Niki in ages, I thought this would be a great place for us to catch up. She and I both share an appreciation for Thai food. LOCATION: SFTC tends to get forgotten since it's a block away from Santana Row. If you've never been to "The Row", you should be warned that it's usually a clusterf*ck. Stevens Creek Blvd is usually a traffic death trap during business hours because on one side you have Santana Row and on the other side you have Valley Fair Mall. The area has a very high concentration of shops, boutiques and restaurants so it's natural many "South Bayers" flock here. If you don't pay attention, you won't see SFTC. SERVICE: The staff is very nice and they crank out food at a decent pace. No complaints here. GREEN CURRY w/ CHICKEN ~ 4 stars ~ $7.50: The curry wasn't green, but it was good. Great spice and excellent consistency. Dip a spoon in the curry and it slowly drips off when you pull away. The coconut milk really comes through as well as the lemongrass aromas. Chicken was moist, the veggies were tender and the curry was awesome. yelp.com/user_local_phot… DRUNKEN NOODLES (PAD KEE MAO) w/ Beef ~ 4 stars ~ $7.50: Pad Kee Mao is my favorite Thai noodle dish. There's something so comforting about it. Thick noodles, spicy sauce and perfectly cooked beef all tossed with tender veggies. This dish is a winner. yelp.com/biz_photos/siam…

    We randomly tried Siam Fine Thai on our way to Santana Row. We had tom yam shrimp soup, green curry with chicken, pad thai with tofu. The food is delicious, much better than I'd expect, although the pad thai might be a bit too sweet for us. Tom yam is fine, I still miss the pungent taste. And the green curry is YUMMY! Definitely love the green curry. I didn't have good luck with Thai food for the past few years until this time in Siam Fine Thai. It's probably the most authentic Thai food I've ever had in the bay area. I'm happy I finally found a decent thai restaurant in San Jose. Oh, and the service is very friendly and great! Definitely will revisit!

    Don't let this little small Thai restaurant fool you. It's amazingly delicious for many reasons. 1) Crab noodles = flavorful texture that caught me by surprise. One of the best I had so far. 2) Green curry with beef = my must have curry every time I dine at any Thai restaurant. The thick, rich, and creamy consistent was great with white rice. Can't forget about the varieties of vegetables that comes along with it compared to the red/yellow curries. 3) Chicken green beans with bell peppers = slightly on the sweet side but that didn't stop us from finishing it. 4) Egg rolls = fried to goodness with a side of sweet and sour dipping sauce. 5) Friendly attentive service minus forgetting one of my order on the last visit. 6) Great portion 7) Best for lunch and dinner. Wait is less than 10 minutes. A wonderful meal leaving my stomach very satisfied. I hope you give this place a try. Cheers!

    Good Thai food. Small restaurant but was worth the wait on a Sunday. I had the fresh coconut drink. I wish they would peel the coconut meat inside cuz it went to waste because it was too hard to try to peel it with a spoon. Good pad Thai, thai iced tea, and good panang curray.

    The reviews did not fail! I was looking for a good Thai restaurant to take my family of 8 for dinner last night, and am glad I found this place. I admit that I was a bit skeptical because it was next to a "cash for gold," and upon walking in, the place is small with not that many tables (glad I called in 10mins before arriving to let them know we have a big party), and there was not the usual fancy Thai décor or anything. I thought to myself: "oh boy, I don't know if family will be turned off by this". But ultimately, I am glad I did because the food was very good and everyone seemed to enjoy the meal. Appetizer sampler: 3 stars: nothing spectacular, and the eggrolls were just average. Wouldn't recommend getting it. Tom Yum and Tom Khar soups in pots were both wonderful and solid 4 stars. The balance of spicy and sour was great. Lemongrass seabass: 4 stars: very unique flavors and cooked perfectly Drunken noodles: 4 stars: super flavorful and well done with beef. Pad Thai: 4 stars Green Curry: 5 stars for flavor and spice. It was the crowd favorite and I would highly recommend it. We ordered it with chicken. Panang Curry: 4 stars: strong curry taste but I think the green curry was still better. Sticky rice with mango: always my favorite dessert was definitely 4 stars. Sticky rice with coconut ice cream was also not bad at all. Overall, the food here was really good, though I don't think the portions are exceptionally big. The portions are definitely good for just one person, so make sure you order a lot to share for a big group. I have to admit that they were so busy that I didn't feel like the service was as attentive as it could be. We had to ask for rice and water twice before it came. However, I will give the server credit because it was a full house and only one man working the floor, so he was all over the place-forgivable because he was still very friendly to us, just not attentive.

    I'm downgrading this place due to a horrible experience with the manager. I've ate at here for over 3 years and when I first found this place I ate here every day. I was friends with the manager "Nain" (unsure of spelling). However, last week I had the very unfortunate experience of dealing with the other manager, she wouldn't give me her name. She is a large woman, who cannot speak English, and has one of the worst personalities I have ever encountered. This woman should not be in any business that deals with customers. She tried to charge me extra on a dish I always get. Green curry with chicken and tofu. Nain has never charged me $2 extra for tofu but she wouldn't budge. I don't care about $2 but it's how she handled the situation and the attitude she gave me. Clearly this place has become too popular and she no longer cares about loyal repeat customers.

    Sooo delicious! This is now one of my favorite Thai places in the Bay Area. The flavors are amazing and quite spicy, so make sure to say mild if you are not a fan of too much spiciness. We got the green curry and the pad kee mao. I LOVED how the eggplant in the curry was cooked so perfectly. They put so many vegetables in each dish-no skimping here. Definitely stop by if you are near West Valley Fair Mall or if you are craving EXCELLENT Thai food. NOTE: The place is rather small, so you may wish to get take out. We saw quite a few people come in and do this.

    Siam Fine Thai wasn't my first choice, since they are open at 11:00 am on a Saturday and with hungry little ones who can't wait, we decided to give this place a try. SFT is a hole in the wall located in a small mall stripe next to Check & Go, Cash for Gold. SFT is quite small with eight tables. It's one of those place where you walk through the kitchen to use the restroom. We order the following standards. Green Curry with Chicken & Eggplant - this was probaly the best dish that we ordered but not the best we have had. Beef with Green Beans & Bell Pepper - this dish was just average. Prefer meat to be more tender, flavor was ok. Pai Thia with Tofu - again just average, nothing exciting. I did notice shredded carrot along with angle cut size carrot which was strange. It speaks alot about a place when vegetables are cut the same size. You must be thinking weirdo, I notice little things like that. It shows quality control. Overall, the value wasn't there as far as food quality and ambience. Service was ok. I won't be rushing back to SFT anything soon when there are other choices nearby with nice ambience for the same price.

    This is my first time there I thought was good Thai food so I ordered three dish Hawaiian pineapple five rice and drunk noodle and mango salad take out when I get home open up The noodle was all mushy and the fire rice is very mushy too. I will not go there again first and my last. But I call the place let them know about it..

    My friend was in town visiting last night, so we go to a late dinner. We arrived around 9ish and there's still people waiting outside. We waited for a little bit, the waiter/waitress are working very efficient to clean table for us and get our order. We had crab fried rice, siam platter and Thai ice tea. It's so awesome. We chatted and forgot the time, but they are being very polite and didn't even interrupt our conversation. We feel kinda bad though. We love this place and I definitely will bring other friends to come too.

    Booo, I was so so so disappointed with this restaurant. First off, THIS IS NOT a sit down restaurant guy! This restaurant is perfect for take out, but not dine in. We arrived a bit early on Saturday for dinner (6pm for a 6:30pm dinner) to put down our name for a party 6 to avoid a long wait. The lady who "took" down my name said "no problem, come back at 6:30pm." When we arrived at 6:30pm, she had already left for her shift, and the staff at the restaurant said my name was not written down any list. Long story short, we received a table outside, and it was super windy and cold. Ambiance and service were horrible. Food was alright. Ordered: Beef drunken noodles: 3/5 Crab fried rice: 3/5 Chicken pad see eww: 3/5 Roti Curry: 3/5 Chinese green: 3/5 Eh, def will pass on this place; There are a few other Thai places nearby that are worth visiting.

    Want here a few days (Friday) ago with a friend if mine for lunch around 12:30ish. There were still a lot of people there at the time so I'm guessing it's even more busy at earlier times. In any case, I had the drunken noodles per yelp reviews and I was very satisfied with it! It was a tad bit spicy even if I got no spice with it but it was still really good. I don't know what sauce they use but it's good!! I also got he Thai tea drink which was yummy as well hut I'm not sure if I'd get it again for $3. Lunch total came out to be $11. The one thing lacking at this place is service. The serving lady bumped into my table a few times and we had to try a couple times to get their attention.

  • Kyong L.

    Food is good. Though it is on the sweeter side for American taste I think. I like Thai Lovers more as it is cheaper but this place is near Santana Row.. go figure. Hygiene and service. Uhnm there was hair in my food so they got me a new one. They charged us for the food and they didnt seem much sorry about the fact that there was hair. They also got a wrong order so gave us an extra menu. We told them we didnt order the food so they took it away. Other than that they were on the friendly side. 4 for the food 2 for the hygiene and service

    I am a fan of Thai food. I have tried this restaurant 2 times so far. But I don't find the authenticity of Thai food. Their speciality is to fry egg and add into everything. When you enter the restaurant you can immediately feel that fried egg smell. The second reason I didn't like this place is because of the space. They can sit at most 30 people and on top of that the space is too small. You can just smell the food from next table. :)

  • Kris K.

    I have it a three but that's due to service.the sever 3 times brought over plates of food we did not order. We would send it back and a few minutes later another wrong plate. My wife kept asking for hot tea and he brought it with the check so she could not drink it. Now for the food... The best Thai noodles I have ever had. The crab noodles are so tasty and addictive. I would have given them 5 if not for service

    We have been here many times and it is our favorite Thai restaurant, we like it more than Krung Thai. It is very small and they don't have many tables. In general we like the food, but we were a bit disappointed with the jungle curry this time.

  • Awesomeness S.

    Had the drunken noodle and the panang curry. Both amazing! The curry was SO CREAMY and delicious! I come here whenever I'm in town.

    I have heard great reviews about this place from friends and have decided to give it a try. I wanted to order take out based on the reviews I've read here on yelp. As I pulled up the restaurant was packed - however the restaurant is rather small. The isles were small and narrow - walking up to the register to get a menu and order was awkward and inconvenient. If you stepped to the left or right- you might hit a diner - no bueno. I had to completely leave the register area as they brought out food from the kitchen; my suggestion the tables should be rearranged. I ordered the spring rolls, green curry, pad se EW and some thai iced tea. The spring rolls were ok, but disappointing considering the price and the quantity. At $7.95 for 5 pieces - some protein should be added. The green curry was good! But unlike other thai restaurants you had to pay an extra $2 for jasmine rice. I love jasmine rice so I ordered it-it was too watery and sticky. Jasmine rice should be able to fall apart if cooked correctly - this rice just stuck together so when I added the curry it just tasted like mush. Yucky. The pad se EW was very disappointing. Normally when broccoli is added it isn't your normal american broccoli but gai lan (Chinese broccoli). Not enough seasoning/sauce - it was very bland. At $10.95 the portion should have been larger. Lastly the thai tea - definitely watered down - not enough tea added. I barely tasted any "thai tea" Overall, I give this place a 2 - only because of the green curry. This place seems over priced for the quality and quantity.

    This is ridiculously good Thai food! Thai is one of my favorite cuisines and I eat a lot of it everywhere, so I know for sure Siam's Thai is indeed fine. Beware, the place is tiny and gets quite busy - they let you call in 10 minutes before arrival to reserve a table, which is nice. If you have a large party (like we did) you might end up waiting for your food a little longer than you would want to, but trust me, it is worth it! We had: - Green eggplant curry (amazing!!!) - Beef drunken noodle - Pad-Thai - Pineapple fried rice - Tom Yum seafood soup (highly recommend) - Coconut ice cream for dessert We all absolutely loved what we got! Portions are decent size - if you are ordering appetizers with the main meal, leftover boxes are very likely. The service was kind even though they were swamped with work. If I lived in the area, Siam Fine Thai Cuisine would be my "go to place" for Thai. I guarantee you would love it!

    This place is a very solid thai food spot. Everything was perfect the padthai wasn't to dry and the coconut curry soup was delicious. The place is rather small but the prices are reasonable and the food is delicious.

  • Sara S.

    Delicious! I've had chicken Rama, chicken pad thai & yellow curry! If you can come during the week for lunch you get a lot! Soup, egg roll & wonton with lunch! Will def be back to try more of the menu! So far chicken Rama has been my fav in that delicious peanut sauce! Yummmm

  • Cynthia W.

    Small and quaint. Best value, especially for the lunch special. Br prepared to wait at least 20 minutes plus on a weekend day/night. Best pad Thai and my FAVORITE chicken yellow curry. The waitress there is kind of dull and not very welcoming as the gentlemen there. But for the food, its totally worth it. Every person I bring here, loves it as much as I do. Oh, really yummy coconut ice cream and roti dessert with cashews. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

  • Stefan S.

    They have really great Thai food in Siam and the staff is very friendly. It is often crowded but tables turn rather quickly, we never waited more than 10 minutes. In winter it sometimes get a bit chilly when the door opens every minute, so better to sit close to the kitchen. Food is great, try Mussaman curry and Chicken Satay to start with.

  • Ana M.

    Finally had the opportunity to try out this local dig. As expected, it delivered on yummy takeout. Considering we have a few Thai places super close, this is another great option! The only caveat, if you don't like spicy, stick with mild options. We ordered medium, and it was def on the spicy side! We tried the broccoli chicken and hot basil chicken, both were pretty supreme with great prices!

    Another one of my "Thanks, Yelp!" reviews! My friends were looking to take me out for an early birthday dinner and Siam Fine is where Yelp led me. Aside from some forgetfulness with some of the stuff we ordered, everything was great, and in fairness to the waitress we did order a ton of stuff. Som tum (papaya salad): Very very good, but ideally I would have preferred a little less nam pla in this because it was a bit salty. I ordered sticky rice to eat with it but it came out towards the end of my meal after I had to ask the waitress for it a second time; had I been able to eat the som tum with the rice the salt level probably would have been appropriate. Mango salad: Very good combination of crunchy/salty/sweet and it came out with a generous portion of shrimp. Still it's not something I would order on my own because I would only want a couple bites of it, unless the mango was more green/less sweet. Crab fried rice: Again, not something I would order myself but the fried rice was very very good, super fluffy, not too salty, and just enough crabmeat added in to impart flavor and not seem like too stingy a portion. Green curry with tofu: Again, a little too much nam pla but other than that the flavor combination was right on and even the medium spice level had plenty of kick, which was a nice surprise as restaurants generally tend to define "medium" the same way I define "slightly above mild." Garlic pork on a bed of steamed broccoli and panang beef: I didn't touch these dishes, but the red meat eaters in our group said they were really good, and one of them who isn't a fan of Thai food said she would come back for the pork and the fried rice. Shrimp rolls: These were an appetizer but they came out last, after we asked about them twice. The rolls came out piping hot, indicating to us that someone had completely forgotten about them. They were perfect: not too greasy or salty, with nice crunchy veg and fresh shrimp inside. Again, not something I'd order on my own but good as an app to share. Overall the service issues have me a little worried: this restaurant isn't that big so even at full capacity it's kind of odd to me that the staff seemed so overwhelmed. That and the slightly high prices are holding me back from giving five stars. Still, they were friendly and the food is good enough that I'd definitely come back.

  • Lily T.

    An old high school friend of mines introduced me to this place and if it wasn't for the location of the restaurant (I live on the East Side so it's a bit of a drive) I would go here every single time I crave Thai food. I am a huuuuuge fan of their panag curry w/ tofu, it's delish. Crab noodle and pad thai are good too. Service is spectacular, I love how they're all smiles from the moment you step foot into their door and leave their restaurant. One star deduct for such a small space and the parking. I hate how the parking is in the back and you have to walk around to the front to the store just to get to the entrance. But I'm lazy so that's the only reason why I don't like it, haha.

  • David C.

    I wasn't really big on Thai food, but a friend told my wife about this place and, man, is it good. They serve the same food as all the other Thai places, but this place does it right. The only complaints I have is that you'll need to bring a shoe horn to get seated, and the ambiance isn't anything special. Otherwise I would have given them 5 stars.

  • Evelyn R.

    I decided to try a new Thai place and have dinner with my friend who's never had Thai food....coming here was a bad idea. The service was terrible. It took the server a looooong time, even though the place was not busy, to bring us water and even longer to refill out glasses. I wanted to charge my dying phone while I was eating and was told I couldn't use their outlet.....are you serious? ?? Ugh so annoying and no customer service whatsoever. Needless to say I will never be coming here again!

  • Sheri S.

    We had a fabulous dinner here. There are only 11 tables and not much ambience but we only had to wait 15 minutes last Sat night. The waiter was very gracious and apologized. Every dish was perfectly cooked, flavorful and had very fresh ingredients. Recommend the roti, pad thai, green curry with shrimp (without calamari), the rama, and jasmine brown rice. Prices are very fair for the quality and the amount served. Wish we lived closer as we would be regular customers!

  • Jennifer D.

    I've eaten here both inside the restaurant and gotten takeout here. It's a small little restaurant that you'd otherwise miss if it wasn't for Yelp or word of mouth, walking distance from Santana Row. (And in my opinion, tastier than the food on Santana Row!) All your typical thai food is delicious here- the green curry, pad kee mao, thai soup, papaya salad. Highly recommend!

  • Tina N.

    such a cute and small little place, pretty easy to miss! great customer service and I am still coming back for the food. I love the pad thai here. I would say a majority of their noodle plates are a hit. I'm not so big on a few curry dishes I've tried because of the proportions-- too many veggies/side items and not enough of the meat. their thai iced tea is pretty addicting too :)

  • Jennifer W.

    Came here for dinner on Friday night. This place gets packed quickly. We had to wait a little before we got a seat. Well, I know why now...this Thai place is pretty good and it's close to Valley Fair Shopping Center and Santana Row. I guess thats why there were lots of people there too. We had the medium spicy drunken noodles-med. spicy. that came with veggies and we chose chicken instead. This is the first time trying drunken noodles. Me likey! Nope, I wasn't drunk! We also got the red curry with beef...damn delicious! :)

    (4)

  • Melinda p.

    Great Tom kha soup. I recommend the medium as I had to add more spice to the mild. Delicious!!

    (5)

  • Kevin C.

    It was all right, I guess. I wouldn't recommend it or anything. We walked in and weren't sure whether we were supposed to seat ourselves or wait to be seated. (The server/hostess was taking another table's order at the moment.) Understaffed restaurant: not a great situation. Service was mostly friendly though. Waters were kept topped off, and our custom order was taken without a hitch. The only miscue was that we had to ask twice for hot sauce. We ordered the panang curry with chicken, medium spiciness ($8), but with the jungle curry's vegetables instead. This was no problem, and no extra charge. We also ordered the drunk noodle with beef, mild spiciness ($9), reassured by the server that we could just add hot sauce. We also ordered sides of white rice and brown rice ($1.50 each). Really, $1.50 for a small bowl of rice? Gah. The food was just okay. The beef and the chicken were both overcooked, giving them a less-than-appealing texture. (I'll spare you the unappetizing comparison we thought up.) The green beans were a little tough, either undercooked or overgrown. Flavor was good, but very mild... we definitely needed the hot sauce. Slightly buzzing noodle, I guess? Go for the gusto and order your food spicy. Can't really go wrong with rice noodle and hot sauce. Portions looked small initially (curry especially), but it turned out to be enough food. Food: 2.75 stars Value: 2.75 stars Service: 3.5 stars Overall: 3 stars Random note: ice water includes a lime slice. *More* random note: there was a pile of lemons on the table nearest the kitchen.

    I have been a customer of Siam Fine Thai Cuisine for four years and I must say that I absolutely love the place. I made it a habit to dine there every Friday. Each time the food is very fresh and yummy. I love the owners too. They are very nice and have worked very hard for the success of this restaurant. In addition, I recommend them for catering. The food is delicious and delivered on time with a nice smile. Thank you Siam Fine Thai Cuisine!

    PROS: + Seafood Tom Yum soup CONS: - Chicken is overcooked, a bit dry - Small place Came here and the place looked full, but when I got inside there was a table available for 2. The service was friendly, but at time a bit slow. It seemed like they were running around doing a bunch of things all the time. We had to wait a but before we could get our order in. Here is what I had. Pad See Ew(chicken) - very good noodles, very fresh. The flavor is good, but the chicken was overcooked and dry. I would order this one again but just not chicken. Green Curry (chicken) - Good flavor, but the chicken dry. I would order this again, but not chicken. Seafood Tom Yum soup - is excellent here. I will order this every time. The seafood is well prepared. Since this place is rather small, I would order it to go next time so I wont have to compete with the crowd there. Come here and get the Seafood Tom Yum Soup, its yummy.

    I am pretty particular about Thai food. And I can honestly say that this place rocks! The owner is very nice and helpful with any special needs you have (I have a gluten sensitivity, and he is very good at making sure my meal is prepared carefully). I also handle the catering at work and have started to call on them. In fact, they just brought our lunch in today (what made me remember that I needed to write a review here). I have never had so many compliments on lunch and we will surely be ordering from them more often. One thing to look out for, if you are going during a busy lunch/dinner time, be prepared to wait for a little bit. They are a small place & have limited seating. Hopefully they will grow soon to accommodate more!! 1. Great food 2. Great service 3. Great catering 4. Great prices

    I've been to various Thai joints both near and far, and they all pale in comparison to this place. It's easy to overlook this place as it looks like a tiny non-descript restaurant in a sort of business center with a generic Thai name like "Siam." However, the dullness does not reflect in the food as it's easily the best Thai food I've ever had. I've probably been to Siam close to 15-20 times now. I've had their seabass, spicey fried rice with beef (and w/chicken), basil rice, green curry, fried tofu, satay, scallops, drunken noodles, prad kraw, et cetera. All of it has been delicious. The food is always prepared fresh, hot and savory. Props go to them as they are one of the few joints that will legitimately make your food "Thai hot." The owner (don't know his name) is incredibly friendly and accomodating. The only issue I've ever had is with the one waitress (don't know her name, but she's always working there). This woman would not smile to save her life and always looked alltogether pissed off. Complete opposite of the owner. I actually spoke to the owner about it and the woman has been a lot better of late. Anyways....best Thai spot in Peninsula by far!

    It would be 5 stars but I've only had one dish so far... I'd give this 4.5 stars if I could... I've been meaning to try Siam Fine Thai for awhile now ever since I started working across the street and today I finally had the chance to. I was tired and by myself so I opted to carry out, plus I wanted to order something else so that I would be able to have something for lunch tomorrow. Upon arriving I was greeted promptly and was handed a menu when I informed him that I was going to be taking this to go. Once I placed my order of the Lunch special chicken pad thai and the Basil eggplant with tofu, both to be made spicy, he said for me to have a seat any where I'd like and that he would bring me a glass of ice water while I waited. That alone was a very nice gesture. My food was ready within 10 minutes or so, maybe less.. I've only had the pad thai so far and it's DELICIOUS! And when they say spicy they mean spicy... not like the "american spicy"... and i LOVED it! saves me the trouble of having to do it myself lol. I will update when I try the basil eggplant for lunch tomorrow. YUM!

    Had See Ew Noodle and one of the board specials Pattaya Paradise which is scallops with basil peppers and onion. See Ew Noodle had a touch too much dark soy sauce but still tasty. The scallops were cooked perfectly and married well when eaten with the basil. Service was good. Limited space (8 tables). Will be back again

    How is this place 4 stars on Yelp? We were going out for a work lunch, and had planned on going to Krung Thai. However, looking on Yelp, it looked like Siam had great reviews too, so we went to check it out. The restaurant is small and hot inside. Food was really mediocre. I'm embarrassed I had part in selecting this place for the team to go eat at. I wouldn't come back, and wouldn't recommend it to my friends. It's more like pad kee NO than pad kee mao. :(

    Well, I am confused by all the high ratings. My experience was mediocre at best. First it was only 70F outside and it was hot and sweaty inside(-1). Beef Masamun was awful. The sauce was delicious, but could not cover the tough, dry beef chunks, some of which were very salty(-2) (and I love salt). The soup and salad were mehh(-1). Before you say that they are all that way, try Thai Delight in Sunnyvale, they have a little mini Tom Yung soup with their lunch specials. Did I mention that it was hot and sweaty inside, that did not help my experience.

    Very, very good food. Was quite impressed with the freshness of their vegetables and the crispness of their taste. Love that parking is plentiful and easy to get to. But....when I was trying to leave, I walked down the last set of stairs and the door into the garage wouldn't open. I had to walk back up, go outside, go into the set of doors closest to the street and they worked. It was a little bit of a creepy experience as I was worried that the doors wouldn't open and I'd be stuck in the hallway! Please fix it!

    Found this place on Yelp when I had a hankering for Thai food and Krung Thai (around the corner) was closed. Was seated fairly quickly and they accommodated my drunken noodle request (with extra veggies and prawns). I like me some spicy food, but MAN I couldn't feel my tongue after the first bite! Next time I would definitely re-think my 'medium spicy' request. Service was fast. The place was fairly clean. I'd go back!

    Great little Hole in the Wall. Food was great seating is limited. The food was very good. Service was average and parking is a bit of a pain. That being said if I was in the area it would be an easy choice to come back.

    Went to Siam for lunch today. Today is President's day and the place wasn't that busy. They had customers but the tiny restaurant was never full. They have 6 tables that seat 4, 2 tables that seat 2 and 2 tables outside that seat 4. The dining area is small, clean and clutter-free. I wouldn't even know it was Thai if it weren't for the picture of the Thai King on the wall. I ordered a Thai Ice tea ($2.50) and the Crab Noodle ($11.95). I was a little surprised they didn't have a lunch special where they give you a small side of soup or an eggroll, like most Asian places do at lunch. The Thai tea was good. It had the rich tea flavor with lots of half and half. I was surprised that it took as long as it did for the Crab Noodle to be cooked considering the number of people in the restaurant but when it did come out, it was piping hot so I appreciate that it was freshly cooked to order. At first sight, I thought it was Pad Thai and it actually tasted like Pad Thai but with crab meat. That isn't a bad thing but I had different expectations. It was good but had a hint of ketchup taste. I was pleasantly surprised that it had quite a lot of nice chunks of crab meat. Overall the portion size was big. Their spiciness scale is definitely Americanized as I ordered Medium and I didn't taste any heat (and I'm fairly wimpy when it comes to heat). So if you like hot food, make sure you ask for super hot. As I ate my meal, I could hear the clanking of the wok as the cook was preparing other meals. The dining room is tiny and although I was sitting at the table furthest from the kitchen, I could hear the wok and could smell a little smoke seeping into the dining area. It wasn't bad so I didn't mind a little smoke and sort of reminded me of home cooking. The wait staff were very nice but not so attentive. They are located across from Westgate Mall (aka Valley Fair mall) so if I'm ever there shopping and want a bite to eat, I'll sneak across the street to Siam. Based on this one time eating here, I think it is solid but nothing special. I'd like to try a few more dishes before calling this review final. BTW, they don't take AMEX.

    I went in yesterday night and waited 15 minutes get seated which is pretty normal so that wasn't the bad part. We were seated for 10 minutes and we noticed a couple come up to our waiter and say they had a reservation but he had told them that they were late and a couple minutes later he came up to my table and asked if we could wait just a little bit longer right before we were going to order. Our waiter was some middle aged Asian guy and I believe that was very disrespectful of him. It wasn't my fault that couple was late on their reservation. So we got up and left, never coming back here.

    Great Thai place! Very busy when I went with not even a table to spare. Had chicken pad Thai spicy but wasn't that spicy but still the veggies were very crunchy and fresh and chicken was awesome!! Great dish! I will come back for sure! Not opposed to trying other Thai places though.

  • Angie W.

    This has become our favorite Thai Place. Everything is good here from the soup, to Pad Thai, fried rice and the curry dishes. The appetizer was average unfortunately. The decor needs a bit of update though. This is not the most comfortable dining place. The tables are tight together and it is a very small restaurant. Despite all these ,we will come back for a good Thai meal and may be do Take out next time.

  • Joanna R.

    Hum dee dum. Different. Honestly, the thing I enjoyed most about this place was the environment and their kind service. It's small but seems like many people know about it. There were constantly people walking in. We ordered their drunk noodles with chicken, and their crying tiger dish. Both were pretty average, but to be honest, I would go a few blocks down to New Krung Thai. We also ordered their sticky rice which came wrapped in foil inside a wood/straw-made container. It was pretty good at first but once we left it out for a few minutes, it was really hard and almost inedible. It was kind of hard to even bite down on the rice. Overall, the meal was pleasant because of the generous service (: And I thank you so much for the kindness! I hope that people continue to come and recognize the wonderful employees working there. You deserve every bit of tip you get. Haha. Thank you and may.. be back again.

    Went here with my cousin cuz it was her fiancées favorite place for Thai and I immediately understood why. This place has the best yellow curry I have ever had...I couldn't stop eating it. Everything we ordered was to die for. Definitely coming back again soon

    How could I have not written a review here yet? This place is scrumptious. Plus their service is superb. Make reservations during lunch hours cause it can get packed. During dinner can also get busy but the times that I've gone, patrons do not have to wait that long. I love their panang curry extra spicy, tom yum soup extra spicy and many of their dishes. I love ordering their curry and tom yum extra spicy. So delish! But the coconut in the curry kinda lessens the spicyness. Unfortunately I cannot recall other dishes that I've ordered but usually the curry and tom yum soup is a must and the other dishes are different each time. If it wasn't so far, I would come here a lot more. Their thai tea served hot or cold is also yummy. Not too sweet. Definitely try this place out!

  • Foodie S.

    First of all parking is not so great around this place. Restaurant is small as well. Ordered drunken noodles I believe or something close to that, this dish was good. Green papaya salad was bland and was a small portion (Spicy) is not spicy here. Service was eh.

  • Michael G.

    My new favorite Thai restaurant. Even though Krung Thai (You know where we are? By the gas station? Yes, yes, I know which one you are.) is closer and is still fantastic, I like the friendliness of Siam Thai as well as the fresher flavors. You can walk here from Santana Row. In fact I have several time after a workout at Club One and after shopping on the row. It's hidden in plain sight on Stevens Creek across from VF. Try the angry chicken. Also, the lunch special was more than enough food, and the coconut chicken soup (What's that called? I forget) that came with it was great . . . way better than the boiled msg you get with a lunch special at most places.

  • Vicki T.

    This is a very tiny restaurant, so it can be a long wait for a table. We really liked the food here. The Beef in Red Curry was excellent, as was the Eggplant with Pork, and the Pop Eye Favorite. We also enjoyed the Tom Yum Soip, and the Thai Spring Rolls. We are looking forward to a return visit.

  • Alex K.

    My second time here and I was super happy with all the food. The drunken noodles are amazing, and the curries are great! The green curry is quite spicy and has some extra kick, and I liked it more than the panang. The one thing that really annoyed me is that we had a little bit of rice left and some green curry, but when I looked up the waiter had taken them. He didn't ask us, and I wanted to kill the rest of the green curry. Other than that, I'd have to say the place was fantastic. Watch your food though!

  • Krystal N.

    Tiny restaurant located across the street from Valley Fair. I came with a party of six and they could barely fit us. 15 minutes later, another large party comes in and they had to sit outside when it was basically already pitch black outside and freezing! Definitely difficult to accommodate larger parties. The food was alright. The only stand out dish that night was the larb. It was very spicy and light and yummy. Everything else, I think (either) Krung Thai does it better.

    Little owned place with very tasty Thai Food. The Owner is a very sweet woman. This place is crowded during lunch time but the food is very good. The dishes that I loved were: Green Seabass Curry with the delicious eggplant.(not too soggy) Pad See Yew Panang Curry Im so hungry. I think they have 10% after 3pm? I forgot but I like to drop by here during work because it is so close to my work place.

  • Irene U.

    my favorite thai place. SO good. so good i came here twice in two days. their pad thai is really delicious. the noodles don't clump together like other places and it isn't dry or too wet (hehe..). and it's not too sweet..spicy even! love it. their crab fried rice is also amazing. if they weren't closed right now..and if it wasn't midnight, i'd get off the couch and get me some food. the owner is really nice. he remembers me! the lady isn't very nice though. the last time, a group of us walked in, and there were an open table but she didn't acknowledge us at all until we asked. then she didn't give us our menus until we asked again. no good. food rocks though so i'll still give them 5 stars. if you go, you must get their crab fried rice. they use real crab meat and they definitely don't skimp you on it. it doesn't have that fishy taste a lot of seafood have either, which is another plus in my book.

    First, let me just say that people are way too generous with stars. Why does everything decent get 4-5 stars? Are you really so thrilled with mediocrity? Lets put the bar higher people! But enough ranting. I gave Siam Fine Thai Cuisine 3 stars because it is exactly A-OK. I liked the service, the food was good. It was not exceptional. Would I eat there again? Definitely! Is it not-to-be-missed? Its not... not.... well, whatever. I ate green curry with Tofu and Ginger chicken lunch specials. The chicken was not the best, and the vegetables in both dishes were limited pretty exclusively to red peppers. Oh wait, there were 3 tiny mushrooms in the ginger and some eggplants and peas in the green curry. However, the flavors were okay. The lunch specials were well priced. And the service was prompt and friendly.

    Yummy! Gon a Tuesday or Wednesday night and you get 10% off. I enjoyed the coconut lemongrass soup very much. The yellow curry was good as was the pad thai. Pad thai noodles are very chewy. My only knock is that the beef was a bit tough. Pretty good service. A very small place, but definitely good value!

  • Pansy L.

    I came here with my bf when we were just friends... not sure if it was a date because the coziness of this restaurant sure made it seem like one. This place is easy to miss if you're expecting to look for a big sign. Just turn right on S. Baywood off Stevens Creek (it's at this corner) and park in the back. My friend/bf ordered the Drunk Noodles and I had the Yellow Curry. Both were very good! Portions were average and enough to fill us up. We also ate on a Tuesday night! 10% off = score! I would definitely come here again on a Tuesday or Wednesday night even though 10% is like no tax but any saving is a good saving!

  • Michelle W.

    Nice dainty place. The service was fast since there wasn't a lot of people at the time we arrived. We ordered the Green Curry and PadThai, the PadThai was really good, lots of meat was added, very filling. The Green Curry was a tad too spicy for my tastes, it wasn't my favorite of the night.

  • Uyen L.

    Lots of time I'd prefer this place over Krung Thai. It is a small restaurant where the owner is also your server, making it feel more personal and friendlier. The food is good. I'm still not sure how I feel about the pineapple fried rice here though. THe first time I had it I was not impressed, but I just tried it again last Sunday and thought it was better somehow. Pad Thai is really really good, and a bunch of other stuff (geez, too many to list here). The lunch portions are pretty big as well. The place is very small (maybe 7-9 tables inside and 2-3 outside) so waiting to get a table can be a problem on weekend nights. I rarely dine there during those times but saw it when I came to pick up food a few times. Lunch tables move pretty quickly. Other than that it's not slow. Yes we would come back many times in the future (just as we have up until now :))

    Food: Excellent Service: Friendly, attentive, accomodating Price: Reasonable Our new go-to Thai place! Located in an easy-to-miss plaza between Santana Row and Hwy 17S, this homey restaurant is authentic and will not disappoint. Yummy dishes include: 1. Mango chicken: HUGE portion of mangoes, chicken, veggies in a perfectly spicy sauce 2. Soft shell crab with chili sauce - the chili sauce is on the side, and could act as an entire dish on its own, as it packs with green beans. Sweet and savory and delicious over the perfectly lightly battered crabs! 3. Crab thai noodles (crab meat over pad thai): great variation of the thai favorite with no skimping on the crab! 4. Silver noodle soup: savory and a little peppery - good flavor 5. Roti with curry: good 6. Pad See Ew: good 7. Squid salad: fresh and with heat that keeps you coming back for more 8. Beef salad: plenty o' meat and kickin' addictive dressing $25 per person and no leftovers must mean something! If you happen to go to the restrooms behind the kitchen, you will notice that the cooks are aunties and moms from the family - which explains why it is so good! This place is tiny for literally 30 or so people, but luckily we have never had to wait long. I hope the good word doesn't spread too quickly as I like being able to get a table with my toddler quickly on a Friday evening!

    This so far is one of the best Thai places I like to get lunch with my co-workers. We actually ordered from them for a birthday lunch just the other week. The food was really good and flavorful and very filling. We ordered a variety of different noodles and rice plates. My favorite to order from any Thai restaurant is the Pad See Ew and I have to say that this place hands down around my area is the best so far. It had just the right amount of egg, and they weren't stingy with how much meat they put in the plate. The thai fried rice was great too. It had the right amount of spiciness that I like and maybe even a bit more, but it was soo good. I look forward to craving thai again and

    this place is small.. perhaps around 8-10 small tables, very casual setting and their food is pretty yummy. FOOD: nice presentation.. 1) chicken drunk noodles - definitely would order again. it reminded me of chow fun (I love chow fun) with a bit of spicy kick to it (medium spicy.. just right) 2) tofu green curry - first time having this so I don't know how it compares to other places, but I thought it was good and would be interested in trying the seabass green curry next time 3) fried catfish - not a huge catfish fan but this dish was pretty decent SERVICE: -fast and attentive, always had my water cup full :) would definitely return to try other things on the menu!

  • Shane P.

    My to go order was messed up badly. Instead up mild, I got fire hot. I have never had tom kha so spicy. There was zero ginger or onions, just chicken and mushrooms. The pad seew was oily and the portion was tiny. Green curry was way too spicy as well and lacked any ingredients. They cheaped out. Zero stars if I could.

  • Adam O.

    The food was great, but the service was lack luster. SERVICE (3/5) Me and my girlfriend entered this cozy (aka tiny) Thai restaurant around 1:00pm, on a Sunday, looking to get our spicy soup fix. There were about 8-9 tables total and about 3-4 available. It was a little chilly and windy outside, but we were sat right near the door (which was propped wide open because the air conditioning was broken). We asked to move to another open table, but the waitress said "only the one immediately next to us was available", which wouldn't have changed the anything (when the two in the back corner were obviously not occupied). The one redeeming quality of the service here is the gentleman that was waiting on the other half of the room. He was happy, smiling, and attentive. He accommodated a party of 3 by splitting a larger table into two sections; something I wish our waitress had offered us. The water on our table was kept full and our tables kept clean for the most part, but that is pretty standard. FOOD (4/5) We started the summer rolls, with shrimp and tofu, for our appetizer. They were crisp and tasty. They weren't served with any chile sauces, but the peanut sauce they served was second to none. My girlfriend ordered the Seafood Tom Yum and made the mistake of using the words "SUPER spicy". The soup had a great flavor, and although the portion was a bit small, the taste was fantastic. I ordered the See Ew noodles, which was the flat noodle with broccoli, carrot and chicken. This dish was hands down the greatest version of See Ew I've ever had. The portion was just right.. We finished with Roti with Coconut and Vanilla Ice Cream. I've had better Roti, but this one was decent. I hear they have better desserts though. OVERVIEW The food was solid, but the service was lacking. I would probably only go back for takeout, because their portion sizes and taste of their dishes is a good value.

    Went here for lunch today with my supervisor since she was craving Thai food. This place is right across the street from Valley Fair on Stevens Creek. Parking is limited but they have underground parking in the back which was nice especially at lunch time when it can get crowded. We arrived and were seated. Luckily we got there just as the lunch rush arrived and snagged one of the few remaining tables. FYI the restuarant is VERY small and can only accomidate around 25 people. We both got the Angry Thai chicken lunch specials. Soup was very tasty and delicious. Our lunch plates were suprisingly light and filling. They come with jasmine rice, a spring roll and a fried wonton. All and all the lunch here was great and we both enjoyed the food and the friendly staff. I only minus one star because of the limited seating but what can you do on one of the most crowded streets in San Jose. I would definitely return and eat here again =)

  • Victor C.

    Went here to eat with family. Seems small, but is pretty clean. Good service. Ordered the chicken pad thai. Tasted fine. Pad thai all tastes the same to me. Then ordered the green mango salad and was surprised since I don't usually like mango, or salad or the color green. All in all, a pleasant experience. Price is a little higher than I'm used to, but maybe that's because it's San Jose? Portions were decent, however, and the servers attentive.

    LOCATION: right across from valleyfair mall, and next door to Wachovia bank. parking is located in the back of the restaurant. the restaurant itself is very tiny and they don't have much seating available, so i wouldn't recommend coming in very large groups. FOOD: after doing my extensive research on Yelp...i went here today and ordered the famous green mango salad and drunk noodles with prawns. we ordered medium hotness for both entrees. green mango salad - good, but i think they put too much dressing on it..when we got to the bottom of the salad , the veggies were literally drenched in a pool of sauce. i would suggest telling them to go light on the sauce, besides that, i have no complaints about the green mango salad, it was very tasty! drunk noodles with prawn - due to the many rave reviews about this entree, i was expecting a lot more out of it. however, i was disappointed as soon as the lady set it down on the table. for those of you who eat chinese food, it looks exactly like a sweeter, spicier version of chow fun! it didn't taste bad or anything, it tasted fine, but it's not something that i would go out of my way of to get. i mean if i wanted some chinese food, i would've went to a chinese restaurant. our bill came up to a total of about $22 incuding tax. CONCLUSION: ok restaurant, but nothing extravagant. if you guys decide to eat here, i'd recommend the green mango salad, but reconsider the drunk noodles.

    Came here on last Black Friday for lunch. This place has limited seats and very crowded at lunch time ( I have never tried this place for dinner). Me and my boyfriend ordered 3 dishes: Crab Noodle, Squid Salad, something with Scallop which was served with rice and a cup of Thai tea. The Squid Salad was excellent and I have never seen any place that give its customer that much of squid in their salad. My Crab noodle came with a generous amount of crab but it was a little bit over cook, the noodle was too wet. That why I took 1 start off. The Scallop dish was stunning. I taste good and they put much of Scallop in there. I also love their Thai tea. Definitely recommend this place.

  • Becca C.

    I think there's better thai in the area, and so I probably wouldn't go back to this place. I ordered the spring rolls to start and then I got spicy basil tofu. I asked for "thai spicy". The good: The spring rolls were tasty and the food was actually spicy and flavorful. The bad: The food took forever to come out, and they brought my appetizer (spring rolls) only a few minutes before the main courses came out. Also, there wasn't enough sauce in my dish. its as kind of dry. I normally like lots of sauce so I can pour it over the rice. The rice was also kind of dried out -- kind of like it had been sitting around for awhile. The tofu is just plain firm tofu -- usually tofu in thai food is the deep fried kind, so this was a little odd... I think for the quality, this place is pretty over-priced. We each got a dish (husband and myself) and then the spring rolls, and two soft drinks -- and I think it was something like $50.

    Yummy! I ordered Larb Gai, Summer Rolls (or Fresh Rolls) and a Thai iced tea for take out. The wait was fairly long - 20 minutes. But it was a Friday night on a holiday weekend. So worth it! Larb Gai - Tangy, Sweet, Spicy. Perfectly sized to satisfy one pregnant mamma as an entree portion. Some of the best larb I've had in the bay area. Summer Rolls - Absolutely huge portion, wow! Plan on sharing these with at least one other person. I loved that these had fried tofu in them in addition to shrimp. And the peanut sauce was lovely. Way better than any peanut sauce I've had at Krung or Thaibodia (the other highly rated nearby thai joints). Thai Iced Tea - Pretty standard fare. Sweet and balanced. I'll definitely be back for more thai goodness. Oh, and I loved that the employees actually speak Thai here. There's nothing more annoying than being a white girl who speaks more Thai than the staff at a Thai restaurant. Oh, and as a bonus there is a small outside dining area. Not enough bay area restaurants have outdoor seating which is a shame since the weather is always so dang perfect. Next time I'll sit on the patio.

    That was some of the greasiest Pad Thai I've ever had. Yuck. The Ginger chicken was better--good flavor, but still fairly greasy. The spring roll appetizer with shrimp and tofu was very tasty. Can't say I'm going to hurry back though....

  • Trish W.

    We were looking for a place that was open on Thanksgiving. This is by Santana Row and across the street from Chase Bank so we thought the food would be pretty Americanized. The Tom Yum Goong ordered medium spicy changed our minds. Excellent, nuanced flavors, and a whole lot spicier than expected. The Prix Khing was tasty and spicy, too. By comparison, the green curry tasted mild but was aromatic and delicious. The beef see ew noodle was disappointing, probably the most Americanized dish, using broccoli instead of Chinese broccoli. The mango sticky rice is worth saving room for. Not a whole lot of rice, unfortunately, but the mango was sweet and ripe. Recommended -- we will return.

    This quaint family owned business houses some of the best pineapple fried rice I've ever had! And for those who like it hot, they have really good drunken noodles (exxxtra spicy)! I love that it's conveniently located near my work. Whenever I want good food for lunch, I usually call to order & dine in. I'll call as soon as I clock out and they'll have my order ready when I arrive. Hot, steamy, and deliciously ready to eat. (:

    I went to try this place randomly one night. It is very small, but very cute inside. The waitress/owner/hostess was so sweet!! She is so nice and considerate, making sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the green curry and it was actually the best green curry I've ever had. I loved the bamboo shoots! It was smooth and flavorful. The dish was actually pretty big. I couldn't finish it. My sister order the Pad See Ew noodles. It was good too except it had a little too much ginger taste at the end of it. Overall I would say it deserves a 4 because even though the food was good, it wasn't worth the money. This place is actually pretty expensive. I was expecting cheaper prices for such a small place.

    Some thoughts: - There was only one waitress working the night I went. - Our order took a very long time. - The Papaya Salad was pretty good. - The green curry was very watery. - The drunken noodle was ok. Pretty disappointed overall.

    This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the south bay, just based on food quality and service. The food is amazing, cannot stress that enough. Even the "staple" dishes like Pad Thai, See Ew and Thom Khar are just prepared perfectly. The curries and the mango rice are phenomenal. And the staff is great, very friendly and very helpful. One time they were very very busy, and our order took about fifteen minutes longer than the server had estimated. We were polite about it (I mean, we could see with our own eyes how busy it was), but the owner gave us a pair of free thai iced teas as a "thank you for waiting" without anything said on our part. That's what really shows good service, to me: trying to make sure the customer feels appreciated even when things go pear-shaped, as they inevitably do at times in the restaurant business. Every other time, the service has been perfect. The one single problem is that this place is tiny. It's "smaller than some bedrooms" tiny. I can't bring myself to knock off a star for this, though, as the food is so good, but I find myself ordering take out more often than dining in because I'm afraid I'm going to clock someone with an elbow by accident while lifting my fork.

    Everything in Santana Row was packed! So we gave this a shot. So when we got to this place, my initial reaction was that its a tiny place. probably no more than 8 tables. So I thought that my party fo 6 would have to wait awhile to get seated. But to my surprise... we got seated in less than 10 minutes. But then again we got there around 8... so that was towards the end of the dinner rush. The service was really good. Quick and attentive. The food started coming out no more than 10 minutes after ordering. Of course we ordered the Tom Yum soup. We ordered medium with seafood. It was absolutely yummy. Huge chunks of Scallops, large prawns and the soup was just the right amount of spice and it had a nice kick that didn't linger. The Crab Fried Rice was absolutely marvelous. It one of those dishes that you can stop eating. Pair that Crab Fried Rice with the panang curry and you have bliss! We were able to try the basil chicken and their daily special Mango Tango. Their Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced coffee was very much above par. If I am ever in that area again, I would gladly eat at this place again over some of the bigger restaurants along Santana Row.

    I stopped by for dinner the other night and thank you Yelp for not letting me down. We had the roti curry, pad thai, and drunk noodles. The roti was really buttery? I don't really know what roti is but it was really good and the curry was on point. It was like having a really buttery croissant with some delicious curry(I hope I'm not offending anybody with my ignorance lol). Pad thai was good, good flavor, medium spice was just a little bit too spicy for us but still really good, noodles were cooked perfectly. The drunk noodles also didn't disappoint. The basil caught me off guard at first but it went really well with everything. There was a little kick to the flavor of the dish but wasn't really spicy and I liked that a lot. Service is good, very attentive on refilling our waters. Nice people, nice restaurant but I think they need a bigger place. It's tiny inside!

    Just a quick update. This little gem has become one of our favorite local places to eat. The flavors went through a bit of a "settling" in period after they first opened, but over the past 10 months or so, have been solidly delicious. Owners are still super NICE, and a bit shy. I hope they survive the economy and the slightly commercial location.

    A little hole in the wall but SO GOOD!!! Soft Shell Crab special was incredible...also had Basil Chicken with Eggplant and Pad Thai which were top notch... Service was friendly and restaurant impeccably clean. Authentic and reasonable - will definitely be back!

    Since I didn't order what I usually like, they probably deserve more than three stars. The prices seem on the high side (by $1 a dish) given the locale (strip mall across from Valley Fair) and décor. A bowl of soup starts at $8 (I think that's the size for one person). Tea is extra (ouch) and so is rice. The menu includes appetizers, soups, noodle dishes, house specialties, curries, salads and daily specials. I think you can specify the hot, medium, mild for every dish. I usually go for as spicy as possible but I didn't do it this time. * Crab noodle ($10.95): Medium wide flat rice noodles with a pile of finely shredded carrots, chopped peanuts and cabbage that you mix in yourself (and a wedge of lime for squeezing). The preparation is similar to pad thai as the noodles are moist. The crab meat was blended in well and hard to spot but I tasted it throughout. I also hardly ever eat crab as I'm traumatized by memories of mum throwing live crabs into a pot of boiling water, so the flavor might have seemed stronger to me than the average person. I liked the noodles quite a bit - the flavor was bright and vibrant. The carrots, peanuts and cabbage added some texture. * Green curry (medium spicy) with chicken, basil, bell peppers, peas, and eggplant ($9.95): Even adding the hot sauces from the condiments tray didn't make it spicy. The coconut flavor wasn't too strong. The chicken pieces were too large and not tender. The veggies weren't overcooked. There was plenty of sauce but not much chicken or eggplant. Sweet rice ($2) comes in its own woven rattan container. Brown rice or white rice is $1.50. You don't get much rice - enough for one person. Ask for the tray of condiments (different types of hot sauce - none of them were that spicy). Thanks Ann L., for the coupon and the company!

    Siam Fine Thai Cuisine has been a consistent performer ever since it opened its door a while back. The place is small, yet small enough so that authenticity still counts. For me, their cooking always brings me back to Thailand and my fond memories of food there. In terms of quality of the ingredients, presentation and taste, they are truly fine. And their service is very attentive and friendly. In my case, the waiter always offers to bring me extra serving of free rice, though I am on low-carb diet. Overall, my dining experience here has been very positive. Perhaps it is not the best Thai restaurant in the Bay Area as the competition here is fierce. But it should be up there somewhere! I am confident to say that people shouldn't disappoint to try. Voltaire once said that the better is the enemy of the good -- this place is good enough for me.

    First time at Siam Fine Thai Cuisine. I think it's ok. Menu is pretty big. They have starters though pricey from 6.95-14.95. Soups: 7.95-12.95; salads $7.95-13.95; Thai Grills 9.95-14.95; Recommended specialties $8.95-15.95; Thai favorite entrees: $8.95-15.95; Thai curries 9.95-15.95; rice & noodles 8.95-13.95; side orders $1.5-4.95; desserts $3.45-5.95. Dishes we tried: green curry w/ eggplant & basil in green curry sauce. You can add chicken, beef, pork, or tofu for $9.95. We picked chicken. I thought it wasn't spicy enough though we asked for medium. Chicken was chunks of boring breast meat in cubes, eggplant was ok. Crab noodle: thai noodle pan-fried w/ crab meat, egg, scallion & fresh lime $10.95. No crab meat that I could taste or see. Noodles were fine. Just ok. Sticky rice $2.00 - comes in a nice container, then it's in a plastic lunch bag. Tasty enough. Jasmine brown rice $1.5- very healthy, didn't taste bad or good. Ok. I had a 15% coupon from the Metro from last week. Waitress took it. If you get a take-out menu, there's a 10% off coupon on there. One unisex bathroom you have to walk pass the kitchen and it's on the left-hand side. They take credit cards. It's across from Valley Fair/Washington Mutual Bank, not far from Wachovia. Plenty of parking in the back.

    This place was amazing! I think it has now become my Thai food place of choice! I had Chicken Pad Thai, my Sig other had Drunken Noodle and we shared a Roti. Amazing yellow curry sauce and peanut sauce. Our dishes were very tasty! The only thing that I believe wasn't on par was the refills on the water, we had to constantly flag down the waitress and even she was busy and didn't always see us flagging her down. Other than that everything was great and staff was very friendly.

    Over the years, I've been forced to stare at this Thai spot while waiting at the stoplight every time I leave Valley Fair mall. I never thought to try it until my friend Laura S. said it was one of the spots she goes the most?! So I thought it must be worth a try. The parking lot in the back is really tight, so I'm guessing most of the times, there will be no spots left. However, there is an underground lot, but it's dim and quite creepy to be honest. Upon walking in, the place is really small and space is quite tight. It's busy, but there were still tables available around 12:30pm. I ordered pad thai chicken and papaya salad and total came out to $17 something - quite expensive compared to other Thai places during lunch. I thought the food overall tasted just okay. I still love Thai Spice in San Jose.

    I have searched and tried Thai food at other places and I always come back here. To me this little resturant out shines Krung Thai any day! This place may be easy to miss since it is in a little plaza close to Santa Row. As a "heat lover" ... I love the fact that they do not skimp on their heat in their food. My go to dishes here are the Spicy Fried Rice and the Drunken Noodles. I get these dishes "Thai Hot" and they are nice and spicy! I also love the side spices they give. It gives their food that extra kick. Another dish that is great is the Crying Tiger, the Larb salad and the Golden Triangles. Everything seems fresh and they make your dish to order, not sitting under a heat lamp. The owners very nice and are always so willing to please their customers. Although soft spoken their kindness shows.

    The most authentic Thai food I've ever had. Also through out the years, since I've been coming here when it first opened, I've noticed their portion has gotten smaller. Their food is still delicious and even tho their portions are smaller, it won't stop me from coming back here! My family & I are regulars and the couple that owns it are so friendly & kind

    This place is a small restaurant across from Valleyfair that my friend made me try it out. First time, it wasn't so great. My boyfriend and I went during dinner time and it wasn't crowded. We had to wait for awhile for our orders to be taken. There is only one server working for the small restaurant. Everything felt so slow and long when the restaurant wasn't busy. We ordered Pad Thai and Spicy Fried Rice. The Spicy Fried Rice was good, but the Pad Thai could have been better. The Pad Thai noodles were stuck in chunks and that didn't really stop me from enjoying it. Second visit was during lunch hour and it was much better form what I experienced from first time. Lunch hour seemed more livelier with the service. The server took our order and the food came out quickly. We ordered the same items and this time the noodles weren't in chunks! The service here is really good and they are very responsive. The restaurant is small, but it is well-kept clean. Very convenient if you're strolling around Valleyfair or Santana Row.

    Been going to thai places for years and this one is our new favorite. Wanted a quick thai fix and made a take out order. The place is across from valley fair but is a little difficult to see especially with Stevens creek traffic. Food was really good we had the drunken noodles and the basil shrimp hot. Great flavours and freshness. Small dining area but we usually go for takeout. Our new go to thai place.

    (4)

  • Karissa S.

    Ridiculously good. The lunch specials are the best deal. Your meal comes with soup, rice and an egg roll. If you go in the afternoon you'll pay the same price or just your meal, no sides. Get the yellow curry. It's perfection.

  • Antonio C.

    I'm glad I read about this place on Yelp and because of the 4 star review average, I convinced my wife to eat here. Only 7 tables inside and 2 more outside with very exposure to the main drag, Stevens Creek Blvd (we almost passed right by it). Parking was ample on the street and back parking lot. But it could be attributed to the early time by which we arrived (5:30pm). The first impression upon walking in is simple, family owned neighborhood restaurant (even though it's a short block to Santana Row and right across from Valley Fair Shopping Center) There was only one other couple when we arrived so we were seated quickly. We had the papaya salad, yellow curry with tofu, pad thai seafood combination and for dessert, the sticky rice with mango. Again, probably due to being the only other people being served at the time, our food came quickly but we did notice a few folks coming in to get their takeout order. The papaya salad came first after the ubiquitious Thai ice tea. We were immediately impressed. The portion was liberal and the dressing lush and aromatic-the right portions of fish sauce and lime. Next came the entree that my wife rated as 'best of class' - the pad thai seafood combination. The scallops were tender but not undercooked, the calamari supple, and the shrimp were large and firm. The only slight disappointment was the batter fish fillet which was a bit bland but I attribute it to the type of fish--basa. The yellow curry sauce had just the right amount of spiciness for my taste. The sticky rice with mango was the perfect ending to the meal. The mango was ripe and sweet, the sticky rice reminded me of the Filipino 'suman' that I'm accustomed to--rich with coconut milk and sugar. Finally, Heidi ,the owner, was congenial and friendly. We will definitely go back to experience their other dishes and bring other friends to share this wonderful find.- but will remember to go there early because I'm sure it'll be crowded during the peak hours.

    Super food, and the owners are so nice. Excellent variety of lunch dishes for 7.95-8.95. Everything comes with an eggroll, soup, salad and rice. Huge portions, enough for a second meal for sure. The Tues/Wed 10% off deal is also great. We've also had dinner here and were equally happy with the food. Pad thai, chicken yellow curry, trout choo chee, pad see ew--all delicious. Highly recommend. They are a great small business to support and the food and prices are delicious, authentic, and reasonable.

    We discovered this place several years ago and no other Thai restaurant in this area is as good. Service is always very friendly, it is a small, yet a very busy place, so wait in line is expected. The food is delicious. Haven't been able to find any better cooked eggplant anywhere else. Green curry is amazing too! When we crave Thai food - this is a place we go!

  • Justin M.

    Great thai food. Definitely small so unless you show up a little early for lunch or dinner, you'll probably have a short wait. Panang curry here is excellent, actually all the curries here are really good. Fried catfish is excellent as well. I'd say medium is fine for everyone, but in terms of Thai this place isn't incredibly spicy so if you like your Thai spicy, make sure you let them know you want the extra kick.

  • C C.

    The curries are really good, but every other dish I have tried is a bit on the oily side (Thai fried rice, Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, Basil Eggplant...). I like the food here (gets 3.5-4 stars) and I was a pretty regular customer but, seriously, this place has The Rudest Waitress on the planet. Tipping points: - Once, my friend and I waited 40 minutes for our food. She forgot to give us water and when we politely asked for water (and for how much longer our food would take--I was on lunch break), she just grunted, no apology, no nothin'. - I decided to give the restaurant (and the server) another chance on another day. I was patiently waiting for a table, along with a couple of other customers. She didn't even acknowledge us or tell us it would be just a few minutes, just brushed on by with a tight-lipped expression! After that day, I decided I could get good Thai food AND friendly service elsewhere. It's a crying shame. If they put that lady in the back to help with cooking or dishes, the place would be fantastic. She shouldn't be dealing with customers--it makes her unhappy as well as the customers!!!

    I LOVE this restaurant. I love the food, the people, and the food. It's a small operation, but their food packs a punch and is authentic. This is the only place that lives up to the Thai food I've had in Thailand. Everything I've ordered here is perfection in flavor and texture. I usually stick to the things I know at Thai restaurants, but I like to try new things here since everything is so good. Plus, the lady who runs this place is always very nice. I noticed she seemed to know a lot of her customers by name. After a few times, she seemed to know us too. It's the first time I felt like a real regular at a place.

  • Michelle N.

    The service here is AMAZING. My best friend and I came here to grab lunch on Sunday around 11:30am. We were promptly greeted, and the only person working quickly got us menus and turned on the ac for us. And at the very end, he gave us candy that my grandpa used to give me when I was younger. +1 star for that ;] We had the chicken pad thai and chicken fried rice. Our order came out to be $19-something. Not bad at ALL! The food was yummy. I think it's cool how they charge the same price for chicken, pork, AND beef. My best friend thinks it's better than Krung Thai; I can't really say anything bc I've never been there, but I like this place. I will definitely be back. If you're shopping at Valley Fair or Santana Row, I definitely recommend that you come here bc the food is delicious, healthier than the food court, and reasonably priced.

  • Kannika L.

    Very casual atmosphere as well as friendly and fast service. I tried the som tum, tom yum, and crying tiger. The som tum (green papaya salad) was absolutely delicious, it had the right balance of sweet, sour, and spice. The tom yum was very good but a little too sweet for my taste buds. The crying tiger was not what I expected since the beef was not seasoned too much and the sauce it was served with was a little bland. Overall, I would say this place is a solid establishment and I can't wait to try their other dishes.

  • Bani S.

    I have to thank the yelp community again for this find. I was driving toward my usual Thai spot when I noticed it was closed and whipped out my handy dandy phone and yelped Siam. I've eaten here twice. The first time I grabbed food to go. An order of yellow curry chicken and an order of chicken pad thai. Both were very good but spicier than I had anticipated. Siam's spice meter is a bit modest, even for a thai place. I was disappointed to see that the dining area was empty though. Today I ate here again and decided to dine in. I had their most popular dish, the Pleasing Garlic Pork. It was absolutely delicious. I recall thinking "wow, you would totally pay upwards of $25 for a dish of this quality and presentation in the city". With a side of rice, it came to a total of $11. All the ingredients were fresh with crisp vegetables and flavorful spices. Again, the dining area was empty. At first it seemed as if I had just gone during off hours but after going there again today, I fear that they're suffering from bad advertisement combined with a poor location. I felt like Seinfeld giving advice to Baboo Bat when trying to offer some pointers on how to draw in more customers. Unlike Jerry though, I had no criticisms of the food. With two complaint-free visits to Siam, it has taken the title of my default Thai hot spot. I recommend this place to everyone. Spread the word and keep this place busy with customers!

    I ordered the Red Devil Lunch with pork (spicy), an office mate ordered the Punnang with Chicken (spicy) and the final member of the party ordered the Thai Fried Rice (mild). Everyone was very pleased with the food. Often times if one goes to s restaurant that is good at making spicy dishes they cannot make a dish for those with a bland palate but Siam Fine Thai can! The wait staff was friendly, attentive and courteous. The Siam Fine Thai

    Super small place! What I mean super is SUPER SUPER small lol. We came in one day in a rainy day and enjoyed our green curry there. It was good with white rice. Price is just as any other Thai restaurant: ranging around $10-15/dish. The food is good. It's just the place is too small for us to enjoy our meal, because we have to think for other people who are waiting in line too.

    Great service! My first trip here, and definitely happy with the service. Normally, when you order food to go around lunch time, you are not offered the soup and salad. Not sure why this is the case, but nevertheless it is. I ordered to go, but was craving a salad. I asked one of the servers, and he not only gave me a salad, but he also sat me at a table while I waited, gave me soup and water. Then offered tea! Seems like a small thing, but I can't stress the importance of these little things. I'll come back because of the kind offer to please a customer. Only 4 stars because the wait for the food was a bit long, I was told 15 and it took 25. Not a big deal normally, but I did tell them I was in a bit of a rush before ordering.

  • Kate S.

    Unfortunately just not a good lunch; came here on Sunday, and it was quite crowded...usually a good sign. The Thai iced tea was gross, I had to send it back. The food was oddly seasoned - a ton of cinammon in the egg rolls. Pad Thai was very sticky and the curry was so spicy that it was inedible. The waitress barely spoke to us, and when I asked different questions, so just gave rude looks and seemed confused. I would not return or recommend others to come here.

    Pros: VERY friendly, great tasting food, Cons: No waiting area. Can be long waits on weekends. My wife and I went here on a Saturday evening since she was craving Thai food. When we arrived, the restaurant was full. This place is small, so it gets full really quickly. We had to wait for about 15 minutes until a table opened up. It was definitely worth the wait. Everything we had there was delicious. We've been back several times since and love it each time. Everyone we've taken there also loves the food here.

    BEST THAI FOOD EVER!! I LOVEEEEEE this place. The food is always great and consistent. The Panang Curry and the Tom Khar Soup are amazing. Hands down. For vegetarians out there, try the Panang with Fried Tofu and vegetables. Bomb. And the Tom Khar with Tofu and vegetables. Been to every Thai restaurant out there and have always been majorly disappointed. This place is the BEST. They know how to make it right every time. Enjoy!!

    This tiny, tidy hole in the wall is a gem. We randomly selected several dishes, and each one of them turned out to be a crowd pleaser. The sea bass curry was especially tasty. The price was reasonable (averaged out to be around $15 per person). The service was nice (our waitress was reserved but courteous). And parking was easy (there's a private lot behind the restaurant).

    Drive past this place a lot and often see that its crowded. This place is actually pretty good... had the chicken curry and it was nice and spicy. Good portion of rice and the curry dish was huge. I don't mind at all that the restaurant is small... gives it a homey feel. Good service too.

  • Cindy B.

    A reasonable alternative near Santana Row? Could it be real? I only discovered this place last Dec while doing Christmas shopping and it has since become my favourite Thai place. The place is quite tiny, only 30 indoor seats. It fills up during Friday lunch but not crazy busy, clearly underrated but good news for me. The lunch menu were good value and workers all agreed that the portion was good, especially generous with their protein. Of all the dishes I have tried, duck curry and the crab fried rice were my top picks. The red curry was rich and flavourful. The rice were had some good chucks of real crab meat and of course, delicious. The mango tango special has very good sweet and tangy flavours. While I like the fish curry (with the same red curry as the duck, but you can have it with green or yellow curry), I found the deep fried fish wasn't as good at soaking up the flavours. The only dish I wasn't so keen on was the crying tiger beef. Having had real good ones from Shana in Mountain View, I found Siam's beef was a bit overcooked and the sauce didn't have much of a punch. Overall, a great place for lunch that I didn't mind driving 6 miles from the office.

    We went there last Thursday (6/7/12) evening. A waitress greeted us, got us seated within 3-4 minutes, and gave us the menu. It turns out that our table had half-empty glasses of wine and water left by the people sitting there before us. It seemed like a server had placed those glasses on one edge of the table, but hadn't returned to pick those up. A fly kept hovering over the wine glass. Then we started waiting. Nobody came to take our order. 5 mins... 10 mins... 15 mins... After 20 minutes we got up and left. For all this time, we were not even served water. Nor were those half-empty glasses removed from the table. Granted, we did not explicitly shout to a server take care of the matter. But the waitress who got us seated passed by and looked at us several times. How could it be that she simply "forgot" about us? Our table was right in the middle. She had just seated us a few minutes ago. How come the menus on our table did not remind her that our order hadn't been taken? And what did she do when we got up after 20 mins? She rushed to the table and cleans it up even before we we reach the door. Why? My guess is that she didn't want her manager to find out what happened. After reading other reviews, it's obvious that most other customers did not face our problem. So I'm willing to give them another chance whenever I am in the area, hoping to be attended by other servers. Until then, I'd have to keep this review "one-star".

    After reading the all the reviews, my girlfriend and I decided to check this place out. We went on a Friday and the place was packed but luckily for us we only had to wait 30 mins. The place is small but cozy. We ordered the pacific rim curry with seafood, crab noodles and beef salad. The beef salad was a disappointing start to the meal. The beef gave my jaw a p90x workout. it was dry and over cooked 3 times over. I would recommend passing this dish. 0/5 I thought the crab noodle was good but my girlfriend thought it was mediocre. It had real crab meat instead of imitation meat which is good. Though I wish they gave us a wedge of lime. 3.5/5 Finally the best dish of the night! The curry had great flavors. The seafood was cooked perfectly. Something I found different is the fried fish fillets in the curry. Though, I wished they would use fresh instead of frozen mussels. My girlfriend said she will be back all because of the curry dish. 5/5 Spicy is asian spicy, not white spicy, so be careful.

    This place is seriously amazing! After two separate sets of friends told us about this place, we knew we had to try it out. It could be a hard place to miss though since it's nestled in this business unit that doesn't stand out in any way, so keep an eye out for their little "Siam Thai" sign that you can see off Stevens Creek! We tried their coconut soup with prawns, yellow curry with chicken, drunken noodles with beef, pad seew with beef, and they were all DELICIOUS. Service was great too, so it was overall an excellent experience. The restaurant is pretty small though, so you might have to wait a little to get seated because there's always people eating there. We order take-out from there now and it's still just as good!

    I was blessed to enjoy this fantastic dinner at Siam on Christmas Day with my family. It's a very small place and seats about 20 people. I ordered the Pad Thai with Pork and Panang Curry Shrimp, best Thai food I have ever tasted. I have had my share of Thai food in my days. The Panang Curry Shrimp was simmered in coconut curry spices and the Pad Thai was cooked to perfection!

    Food was excellent and staff pleasant. Prices reasonable overall, especially when compared to all the higher prices in its immediate area. No decor of note, and the place is small enough that you will likely wait for seating. Without Yelp reviews we would never have tried it, as it is a tiny place on the end of a nondescript office bldg. Surprising that the owners have not stepped up to a larger place.

    OK. Went back tonight cuz the food is so delish and it wasn't very busy at all and the service was awesome. So I wanted to add another star since they deserved it. I'd suggest going at less busy times to get the best experience :) oh and we got 10% off since it was Tuesday.

    Wow, who knew this little hole in the wall would have such amazing food? Move aside, Krung Thai. P.S. It's a very cute and nicely decorated hole in the wall. Got the highly recommended Silver Noodle Salad and it rocked my pants. Glass noodles with shrimp, chicken, onions, garnished with mint leaves (I LOVE mint), topped with spicy lime sauce. So. Delicious. My favorite thing to eat. Then we had angry chicken. It wasn't super angry and the chicken was a little dry, but was still not bad. Lots of vegetables and drenched in yummy brown sauce that really complimented the rice. Lastly was the Trout Choo Chee; a crispy trout in special curry sauce with mushrooms and bell peppers. The trout was flaky and crispy and the red curry was PHENOMENAL. Wowowow, seriously so good; my mom and I were just eating it by itself with spoons. Love this place! The servers were all so friendly and welcoming! PLUS there's a 15% off everything on Tuesdays and Wednesdays!

    Really good Thai food at a very reasonable price. We ordered shrimp rolls and roti curry for appetizers, chicken drunken noodles, chicken pad thai, veggie panang curry, and a tofu dish. The drunken noodles and pad thai were ordered very spicy. I eat a lot of spicy food and these were definitely very spicy. Everything was very flavorful and tasty. The only downside was the very slow service. There was only one waiter working that evening. i would definitely recommend Siam Fine Thai.

    Among my favorite Thai restaurants in the area. Love the big portions and they are reasonably priced - totally worth it when you go on a Tuesday or Wednesday. It's small inside (about 8 tables, max.) but I've never gone during prime dining time. Last time I had a craving for pad thai I called to place an order to go. They had it ready 15 minutes later. It included a salad and egg roll. I would have lasted two meals, for sure.

    I am definitely a fan of Siam Fine Thai. Is it the best Thai restaurant in the bay? Probably not. But they have a lot of great dishes, the service is outstanding, and it has a nice atmosphere (though pretty small). Crab Noodle - absolutely delicious! This is my favorite thing to get here, I often dream of it when I'm not eating it. It's so good. Lots of yummy crab pieces, and a nice semi-sweet flavor. And it's enough for 2 or 3 to share! Pad thai- pretty sweet. Not bad, I've definitely had better. Shrimp curry - Very tasty. I'm not a big curry person, but my brother is and he said it was delicious. They make it the "soupy" way. Not totally sure what that means but if you love curry, you probably get it. Basil chicken - Do not buy this under any circumstances. It was SO dry I couldn't even eat it. I really tried. (I always get the basil chicken from Jasmine Thai in Franklin Square in Santa Clara- go there if you like basil chicken). Basically they just gril really thin pieces of marinated chicken. It was so tough and overcooked, and all around inedible. Drunk noodles - DELISH! However, the flavor is pretty similar to the one used in the crab noodle and the pad thai, which is kind of annoying because I feel they should have different flavors for different dishes. But whatever, its a good flavor. Nice plump noodles. I'm giving 4 stars because the Crab Noodle is so delicious, and the people who work there are very kind. I've never actually eaten inside, I usually get it to go, but the atmosphere is cool and clean. I definitely recommend for their noodle dishes. (And the Thai tea was good too! Not too sweet)

    We loved our visit to Siam Thai Fine Cuisine. First the service was every bit as wonderful as the food. When we ordered the Green Mango Salad we were asked how spicy we wanted it. The salad was the best we have ever had. Also ordered Green Curry with eggplant. It comes with your choice of seven proteins. Hard to choose on this menu, too many great items. The Pad Thai was very good also.

    I stumbled upon this tiny place after my party go frustrated with the traffic up the street at Santana Row. However, I am so glad that happened or I wouldn't have found this place! The food was delicious, the customer service terrific, and the price was excellent considering we got 2 main dishes and rice. Which only made the total under $25 bucks for two people. It was fabulous. Dishes ordered were drunken noodles, chicken yellow curry, brown rice and white rice. The curry had a very distinct, almost sweet like flavor and had my mouth watering just by the smell of it when the waiter set it on the table. To my surprise, the brown rice was just as good as white. Lastly, the drunken noodles were hot and tasty as I imagined it would be. What I want to point out was the GREAT customer service we received here. My friend had our dog and so we sat outside. The waiter was kind enough to go above and beyond our simple request of a 'to go' bowl for his dog to drink water out of. Not only did our waiter (I think he was the owner actually) bring something out, but it was a plastic container he gave to us to keep! He was super nice about the whole situation. Something else I liked was the presentation of the food brought out to us. Everything was nicely plated in modern looking dishware and felt like you were at a 'fine dining' restaurant. This place is totally work checking out if you are in the area. I will be coming back here soon!

    Nice, quaint, and clean place! As far as the food it's not bad. Pad Thai was excellent and was a bit spicy but that's how I like it. Compared to krung Thai, I liked krung's better. The other item I ordered was the silver noodle seafood salad. It was really spicy but Cindy and I managed eat the whole plate. The waitress was really super nice and I told her that we would me coming back to try their green mango/papaya salad and the drunk noodles. I would def. be coming back to try other dishes and plus the owners made us feel very welcome unlike krung Thai.

    i must have came on an off night. the food was good but i had much better. minus one star for poor customer services. i had to ask for a menu and waited a long time for them to take my order. minus a star for little portions. paid 12 for eggplant with prawns. only a few pieces of eggplant and 6 prawns. minus star for overpriced food. minus another star for the argument. i ordered togo and was really shocked with small portions. the lady got defensive by saying she has been there for 5 yrs blah blah. dude i dont care just give me the rest of the food or my money back. she refused to give money back so she gave a few more pieces of eggplant.

    PRO: -great lunch portion for Pad Thai. very very good. Some other Thai restaurants can't make this decently good, but this restaurant makes it SOOO YUMMY. -very tasty Thai Ice Tea... not watered down like other restaurants -good service -food came fast CON: -very small restaurant, about 10 tables in the whole place. This place is probably very busy and crowded during meal times. I recommend that you eat here mid-afternoon so you don't have to wait for tables or food. -Parking lot is a little narrow to drive through. Use a smaller car when coming here. It would be very nice if they expanded their restaurant to the next door vacant space. With the delicious food here and great Yelp ratings, I'm certain that they have enough business to fit up all the tables if they expanded. Can't wait to try out the other dishes here!

    I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! My family wanted to go out for dinner, so I suggested this restaurant based on its high ratings on Yelp. Man, we were so pleased. Our first experience -- wonderful. The service was incredibly great. We came when it was about to close but they still welcomed us in. The food was delicious, nothing below of what you expect from a 4-star restaurant. :] So, the following week, my family and I revisited this restaurant. Again, we left feeling so satisfied!!!! So a couple of weeks after that, I was craving their delicious thai curry. I decided to meet up with a friend to eat it again, wowow. Not disappointed. Overall, I would definitely come again when I'm in San Jose :) For those who are concerned with pricing, the dishes were priced competitively. I'm sure whatever you order, it's going to be good.

    Had lunch here earlier today for the first time thanks to a friend of mine who recommended it. The venue is small and there isn't much parking so I had to park in the basement which has that Resident Evil type feel to it, haha. Anyways, like I mentioned, it's small, maybe only a few parties can be in here at a time and they have outdoor seating which would be okay in the summer time. There wasn't much staff either, so they were definitely working hard. One busser/server, one waitress/server, and few cooks and cleaners in the back. Food here is inexpensive and for lunch I had the Red Curry Beef lunch special which came with soup, salad, rice, veggie fried spring roll and fried wonton with sauce. Everything was good, and their rendition of the word "spicy" is actually pretty good! No cons about this place other than the small seating, I think they should invest in buying out the next lot to expand and they'd probably get more customers. Service was quick and efficient. Not many smiles but that's okay because I knew they were working their little tails off. I wanna come back for dinner or maybe next time just order a la carte. I'm happy to say the food was good enough for me to finish everything! Not you're original thai cuisine but it has a nice modern twist!

    This might be my new go to spot for Thai in San Jose. Even though this place is incredibly small (probably max of 20 seats), their was no wait. The service was superb (water constantly filled, checked up on us and helpful on appetizer selection). The food was excellent! The Chicken Satay(recommended by our waitress) was delicious. The peanut type sauce that came with the dish complemented the chicken nicely. The Red Duck Curry had lots of duck and plenty of curry. I love it when my Duck Curry comes with lots of sauce because I really drench my rice in it. Both dishes were easy 5 star dishes. We also ordered the Lemon Seabass, but I wasn't too impressed with this dish. It felt like the seabass wasn't as fresh. It didn't really flake when I cut into it, and I think the lemon really overpowered the taste of the Seabass. I'll give the dish 2.5 to 3 stars. Even though I was a bit disappointed in my Seabass, I was happy with my overall experience at this restaurant. I love the first two dishes that much! It was also a plus that they gave us a 15% discount for dining on a Tuesday(discount also applies on Wednesday).

    Came here with the lady on a Thursday evening. Was probably 8:00 and it seemed the tables that they had were just about finishing as we got there for our late dinner. A very small place with probably 8-10 tables tops. We ordered some sake and the coconut (see pics). The coconut rocked. Get the coconut if you go in there; totally worth it. Sake was enjoyable. Ordered the rolls for appetizer. These I believe are the deep fried kind. Nothing too special here and I would not get them again. Wish they had the fresh rolls with the shrimp and peanut sauce instead. I had the green curry seabass with brown rice. Quite tasty and nothing to complain about. Ordered it medium and I would say they got the heat just about right; certainly spicy, but no over the top. The very sweet waitress was likely part owner of sorts and she took a lot of pride in the restaurant. She really wanted our experience to be perfect and it showed. Due to the generous portions, we needed a box. She helped us out with this at the table. During the bagging of the tasty coconut, there was a fumble and the coconut milk/juice all spilled out. She felt very bad about this even though we could have cared less. She insisted, even after we declined a couple of times, to give us a new one for the road. All in all, a good little Thai place and certainly the best in my general vicinity I've been to. We will be back.

    Chicken satay and peanut sauce were delicious. Portions were big. I ordered medium spicy - should have said spicy. Outside seating, right on Stevens Creek. Escape the mall and get better food at a lower price.

  • Rachel R.

    Heaven on a plate! Siam is tiny, with only half a dozen tables, and sometimes awkward service, but the food is unreal. It is 10 times better than New Krung Thai, which I would have told you had the best Thai in the South Bay before I ate here. A great selection of appetizers, followed by a lot of seafood dishes, the usual noodle dishes (pad Thai, pad see ew, raad na), a bunch of curries, and a slew of different flavored stir fries. I love the Garlic dish (though it is weird because it says the meat/tofu will be sauteed with broccoli and carrots but instead the meat/tofu is sauteed alone and then the veggies are added like a garnish). The Baby Corn dish is also awesome, and the veggies are actually sauteed with the tofu/meat. Every dish is so delicious, with fresh ingredients and a fabulous melange of flavors. They have fresh coconuts (my all-time favorite beverage)! They don't take AmEx.

    This place was not hard to find, but it is a pretty small location. It's right across from valleyfair mall and the parking lot is decent. We came in around 1pm on a sunday. It was not terribly busy, but the place is smaller than i expected. Actually, way smaller than I expected because you could only fit a couple tables (maybe 6-7) and you would have a hard time seating big groups. The waiter who welcomed us to our seat was really nice and polite. As other yelpers have said, they really do have good customer service and were very attentive (ex; refilling water constantly and asking if we needed anything else). They never hurried or rushed us, and the place is rather clean. There is no bathroom though. We ordered the: 1) Crab Noodle 2) Crab fried rice 3) Pad See Ew MY favorite is the CRAB noodle because it had that subtle sweet taste and i loved the texture. There was crab meat in there and everything seemed very balanced. However, I did feel like the portion was not alot compared to other places (like Thai Lovers Restaurant in SJ). The Crab fried rice tasted the same, but I didn't feel any special feelings towards it because it was just fried rice in crab meat. Hmm PASS. But, my friends really liked it. The Pad See Ew was a dissapointment, it was too salty and soysaucy. Compared to other thai places, i felt that this place's Pad See Ew version wasn't that great. I didn't even bother to finish it because it was really salty and there were like 3 pieces of broccoli (SIGH). But, overall the presentations of the 3 dishes were good. I think the prices ranged from 8.95-10.95 for the plates. We enjoyed it and I give this place 4 stars because of its customer service, presentation, and decently priced for its quality. I would come back again and try the pad thai or get the Crab Noodle Again. YUM.

    Yummm!!! My coworkers and I decided to try this place and wowzer, we all agreed the food was delicious!!! We had the lunch special: chicken green curry, prawn drunken noddles, and sweet & sour pork. The chicken green curry was great, a lot of flavor and the portion was good. The salad has a special dressing that yummy. I didn't care to much for the eggroll though, it could've been better. It felt like it needed more meat and vegetable. The drunken noodles tasted very similiar to chow fun but much lesser fat and it has a lot more flavours. Overall yummmmmy in our tummyy!!! This place is really tiny though so I'm not sure if you would want to sit in and it is right across from Cheese Cake Factory.

    This place is very tiny with like about 9 tables in there..very easy to miss, and the parking is in the back of the restaurant and you'd have to walk around to the front. Lots of thai cuisines on the menu. Me and my friend ordered the fried calamari as an appetizer. Very good very crispy not too chewy. Perfect. We both ordered the crab noodles, we could choose our levels of spicyness, i got medium. My friend got extra spicy. The crab noodle portions were HUGE. Two people could actually share one portion. I only ate half of mines, and so did my friend. It was really really good though. Best thai noodles i ever had. I had the other half for dinner. :-)

    I read a lot of great Yelp reviews on this place so the first time I tried this place, I called in and placed a reservation for 10 people. When my group of friends came here, I said, "damn this place is hella small." There were like 20 seats in this place. Fortunately, the food is fantastic. I think I may have found my new go to place for Thai food in San Jose. (Next time I will bring 4 people max) I ordered the Red Duck Curry and Basil Chicken with Eggplants. This was the first time I ordered Red Duck Curry at a Thai Restaurant with a lot of duck in it. I loved it. The Basil Chicken was delicious and I had no complaints. The portions were big and all the food was aromatic, flavorsome and on point. The dishes my friends ordered looked very good too. Despite being cramped in the back, the food at Siam Fine Thai Cuisine was incredible. The service was not as great as I wanted, but I think the servers were overwhelmed with our large group and trying to accommodate their other guests at the same time. The slow service gave me ample time to catch up with my friends. Also, we received a 15% discount because we dined in on a Tuesday. Maybe that explains why there were so many people there...

    One of my favorite Thai restaurants in San Jose. Small dining area but people order pickup for the most part so it's usually not too crowded. There are only two people that I have seen(besides the cooks) working- a man, who is very nice and a woman, who is sorta quiet which can come off as rude but I think it's probably just me since I'm a pretty friendly and outgoing person. Their food is always promptly served and always fresh and delicious so I don't let that bother me. As for the food, I've only tried a few of the dishes but they are all very good. I start with the tom yum with prawns which is delicious and there are plenty of prawns and yummy mushrooms. Then I either get yellow curry chicken or the crab noodle. The crab noodle is similar to pad Thai but the crab makes the flavor so good. I get all of my food medium spice which is perfect for my liking. I give this place an A+

    Just came here with my friend, around 4:15 on Friday and we were seated immediately. The lady/waitress was really sweet and got us water as soon as we sat down. We started off with some soup ( forgot the name, last one on the list) and it was very spicy and delicious! Then our food arrived, I got a tofu pad thai and my friend got drunk noodles with beef, mine was great, although I do not eat beef so I did not try hers. Everything arrived very quickly and wasn't just plomped onto the plate, it was nicely organized and taken care of with the carrots, cabbage and peanuts on the side. I really recommend this place even if you're looking at a 30/45 minute lunch rush, the food is served quickly and it tastes fresh :) PLUS the prices are very reasonable. My pad thai was 8.95 and the soup was 7.95 or 8.95. OH and the soup is meant for 2 according to the lady, but we had enough for at least three :)

    This little restaurant is literally a hole in the wall and can rightfully be coined the dive bar of Thai food. Great food, good prices, but kinda dumpy outside. Seating is super limited because of the small space, so you're lucky to get a seat during lunch. But their take away is just as good as dinning in. EVERYTHING I've had here was good. A little hard to get to since it's right next to Santana Row. But worth the hassle! There are a few other Thai places around, Winchester, but they don't compare.

    While I was visiting my family in San Jose, my dad asked what I wanted for dinner. So I did what I usually did. I picked a random genre of food (Thai in this case), and used yelp to find a highly rated restaurant of that genre. (Is "genre" the proper word for food?) And today's lucky restaurant was Siam Fine Thai Cuisine. Personally, I thought Siam was average. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't all that great either. We had the chicken satay skewers, pork panang curry, and the seafood combination pad thai. The chicken satay and panang curry were pretty good, but then again it's hard to screw up chicken satay and panang curry. (Although it has happened before at another Thai restaurant in Seattle that will remain nameless.) The pad thai, though, was rather unimpressive. There was just a clump of noodles in the middle, with all the seafood, veggies, and other stuff just lumped on top instead of mixed together. It still tasted good, but being the food snob that I am, I couldn't help thinking "Really? Is this how you're going to present your food?" The service could leave a little something to desired, but then again there's only one person (possibly two) on the wait staff, and I'm pretty sure there's only one cook in the kitchen. As I said before, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Just average. And like I've said about pretty much every other average restaurant, if I were in the area and specifically craving Thai food, I'd come back. But otherwise, I can't really see myself coming back to Siam again.

    This is the best Thai food that I've found in the South Bay so far... I came in for lunch recently are ordered the "red devil" squid. There wasn't anything red about the dish, but it did pack a wallop. The rings were very tender; nothing like the rubbery garbage one often will get when ordering calamari. The (chow fun) noodles were cooked wonderfully. This came with soup, salad, a fried wonton, and an egg roll. Everything was delicious. I actually found myself scraping my plate. I can see why this place is so popular... The service was hit or miss. The girl who took my order came back twice to have me confirm my order to her. And the plates weren't paced as they came out. I'll gladly overlook that, though, because the food was so tasty. If you're in the neighborhood and hungry, and don't feel like dealing with the pretentiousness at Santana Row, then this may be your place...

    Do you want to get blasted by so much flavor that each dish makes your palette forget about the previous dish you just had? Good, cuz it WILL happen here. You'll be closing your eye's and saying "Mmm" after every bite of whatever it is that you order, I guarantee it.

  • Arun K.

    Had the crab noodle. It was more of eggs and very less crab meat. Had gone for a medium spice level, which I felt was still on the higher side. Coconut ice cream for dessert was a huge disappointment. It was vanilla with chunks of coconut. That's not the real coconut icecream.

  • Peter C.

    Here is an example of the problem with Yelp. Much of the time, due to averaging, the consensus rating is within +/- a half star of the actual quality of an establishment, and one can have a certain level of confidence in that margin of error. But some establishments seem to attract more than their share of either over raters or under raters, and the consensus rating is off by a full star or more from the actual experience. For some reason this restaurant has a lot of over raters. It's not that this place is bad. The food was decent, and the service was friendly and prompt. But I can't figure out why so many people are rating it 5 stars. I ordered my curry in medium heat. It was milder than mild. Likewise, the chicken satay had no kick, not the chicken nor the peanut sauce. I've never had Thai this mild, ever. I suspect that the owner is overly concerned about offending palates with too much spice. I overheard her asking several tables if the food was too spicy. The answers were all, "no". So, while the ingredients seemed fresh, and properly prepared in terms of cook times and temperatures (the satay was nice and moist, not overcooked and dry, for example), it bordered on bland. Thai should be anything but bland. Five stars should be reserved for excellence. This is average, not excellent.

    their lunchtime deals are GREAT - usually around 10 bucks for soup, salad, egg roll, rice or pad thai, and your choice of a dish. Their thai basil chicken and calamari/shrimp entrees are the besssttttt. i love the sauce they put on their egg roll, and the peanut salad dressing is amazing as well. every time i come home, i HAVE to stop by this place to fulfill my thai cravings! i really want to try their coconut mango sticky rice next time!

    "Siam Fine Thai Cuisine" is a small Thai restaurant at a corner across from Valley Fair mall. I was craving for some Thai food while at the mall and this came up on my phone. This restaurant is very small with only about 7 or 8 smalll tables, oriented closely together. They also have seating outside... A whole table! For not one, but TWO people! Plenty of seating here everyone... Get to know the table next to you because you'll be rubbing up against them. The Panang Curry I ordered was extremely spicy as requested and very good. It was spicy as heck but I still ate the whole thing while tears ran down my eyes. "Why are you crying?" "I don't know, this thing is so good, it makes me sad knowing that it's almost all gone." The price for lunch was about $10 a person with a drink and it came with a salad and soup. I think they accidentally gave me incorrect change back so they ended up getting a huge tip from me. I didn't realize it until I got in the car... my fault. Still one of the better Panang Curry I've had around here. Good location and good food. The only thing missing was good bread.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE! We were looking for an quickie lunch on the drive down to Santa Cruz last weekend and stumbled across this place. I can't even begin to say how much I loved the food here. We had the Crab fried rice, chicken pad thai, chicken green curry, satay, and some thai iced tea. Every single thing that I ate was AMAZING. Some of the best Thai food I have had since I moved to the bay!!! On top of that, the owners were so nice and friendly. It was a slow day, and they took the time to talk to us, and really make us feel like they appreciated our business. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant.

    Deliciousness! I called them before I headed over, I asked if they made Green Papaya Salad Laos style, they said yes! I was super happy to hear that. This is the first San Jose Thai restaurant that I find that serves green papaya salad Laos style .it ran abot 10 dollars for the plate but it was well worth it! Their customer service is great, the ladys are super nice. I felt very welcomed. The place is a little small inside. Tables where too close to each other but that didn't keep me from enjoying my delicious food. I got sticky rice too and tried the Red Chicken Curry as well. Its the BOMB.COM ! Best red curry ive had! I definitely recommend this restaurant. It's right across from the Stevens Creek Mall. very convenient since I love to go shopping. definitely give this place a try. I guarantee you will leave happy and satisfied.

    This place is definitely small but full of flavor. I really wish it was bigger so that more people could enjoy this place. It gets very busy around lunch hour so I recommend ordering to go if you can. It seems like it's only one lady handling the floor AND register so be patient when waiting on your order! Their lunch specials are such a good deal, so I can see why! You get a small egg roll, wonton, salad, rice and entrée with your lunch special for only about $8. My favorite so far has got to be the Pad See Ew. I've had it at other Thai restaurants but this one is perfect. Also try their green curry, ask for spicy if you're a little daring! They have outdoor seating which it's perfect if the weather is nice. Parking is located in the back, if there's none on ground level there is a tiny garage underneath with some extra spots.

Probably a good idea to drink here where it's cheaper, and then walk over to Santana Row to party =P CONS: - Small restaurant - Service wasn't that great, had to ask water twice. I got so thirsty I had to drink sake OVERALL: Yea, I'd come back again. Eating dinner here with good food while drinking was a fun pre-game before heading out to Santana Row at night :)

    This is a tiny place. It was nearly full at 5pm. The kitchen area (if you happen to need to go to the loo) is quite tight. They manage to crank out a lot of food back there. The restaurant also gets quite smoky so don't wear nothin fancy cuz you'll exit smelling like your dinner. Now the food: Everything while being good, was one note -- sweet with a heavy hit of fish sauce. The green mango salad, the green curry, the seabass with lemon grass, the pad see-ew -- all sweet with fish sauce. The pad see-ew consisted of noodles that had been over steeped and lost any toothsomeness to the noodles. They were tattered and so floppy they were hard to pick up with a fork! Maybe it was just what we ordered but I would've appreciated a little diversity in flavor in between courses. It was all decent though. $60 later, I wanted to stick my face in a bowl of coconut ice cream to cleanse my palate.

    This place is consistently good each time I come to eat. Sometimes I think it's too small because it sites seemed cramped and gets full quickly around vengeance times of the day. Lunch special is also a really good deal. I personally love the panang or eggplant dish.

    Came here for my friends 22nd birthday on August 8th to celebrate! The location is in a random location tucked in the corner past Santana Row. We just came here to grab a bite and then leave to SJ barhop. The dining area is extremely small and not quite meant to be a place to have a birthday dinner but it managed to work out. The menu had decent varieties of food to choose from. It wasn't any different from a another Thai restaurant though. Once everyone decided on what they wanted to order, the waitress came to take our order. Our food came out in a fairly timely order. I got the roti and med spicy drunk noodles with shrimp. The roti was pretty good but I wasn't a huge fan of the fact that the roti's were extremely oily. It didn't stop me from eating it with the delicious curry dip. The drunk noodles were decent in my opinion. It lacked heat that I wanted from the chili peppers that I requested. It also lacked a genuine type of flavor that I get from other places that I order. I expected the shrimp be fresh medium sized shrimps but it ended up being puny frozen ones that you get for cheap at a grocery store. Probably won't be back here since I've had better food and service at other restaurants. Ps: ask for your beers and drinks first otherwise you'll just end up empty handed when everyone gets their food!

    They are right when they say, "Do not judge a book by its cover." The place looks like a hole in the wall from outside but the food is bomb! I must have crossed this street a hundred times and never happened to notice this little gem. We ordered: Appetizers- Roti bread with eggplant sauce, Spring rolls; Entrees- Panang Curry with Tofu, Red Curry, Green Curry, Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai, steamed rice and Thai Iced tea. Yes, I know we were a party of five and have quite an appetite :). Flavors were very authentic and most dishes get a thumbs up. Curries were delicious and a little on the thick creamy side. Surprisingly, the Panang curry and Red curry looked and tasted exactly the same- same ingredients, same consistency of the sauce- I couldn't tell which is which and had to ask the server for the same (I think the server got confused too looking at the dishes ;P). Drunken Noodles were oily but delicious, Thai iced tea was good too, However, appetizers were just ok. Next time, I would also skip ordering Pad Thai, it turned out to be a little too sweet for my taste buds. Portions were average, served hot. Service is quick but our server mixed up the order a little- added fried tofu to a different dish instead of the one that we asked her too. She also kept on insisting that the restaurant closes at 10 pm and we needed to place the order at once ( we were seated at the table at 9:10 pm). Seating is limited inside, they also have some outdoor seating. On the whole, good food, average pricing, fast service, a good experience and will come back for more. Tip: Their medium spicy is indeed spicy so watch out. While, parking is available in a small parking lot behind the restaurant, it does get pretty crowded during the peak hours, so plan accordingly. They add gratuity to a party of five or more (instead of six or more people).

    New Krung Thai was closed today. My friend and I went lunch here. We have spicy fried catfish, silver noodle salad and rice, total was around $32. It is so expensive and the food isn't good as Krung Thai. This is my first time to eat there and also it is my last. No recommend this restaurant to friends or family at all.

    Cute! Been hearing about this place for years now so the bf and I checked it out last night. We arrived close to 8 and there was no wait. I was really surprised at how small this place was. We split the roti curry for an appetizer and boy was I pleased. I love roti and I've been craving it for months. For $6.95, we got about 6-9 roti triangles with our choice of curry. The yellow curry was really good but the roti was greasier than I'd enjoy. I got the beef rad nah which is pretty much pad see ew with gravy. Too bad the chili peppers I asked for wasn't as spicy as I wan't want them. I literally poured 2-3 huge scoops in! The bf got chicken pad thai and it looked good. Wasn't too dry or too greasy. I wish they had put tofu in it as many other places do so I could pick at his food. :) Both portions were very generous and neither one of us were able to finish our food. (My bf almost always does.) Service was very polite and attentive. Waters were refilled promptly and our server came back to check on us a few times. Prices were standard as most Thai restaurants. Small restaurant but no complaints here since I didn't have to wait. I could imagine parking being a nightmare during a rush though. I'll probably come back here for lunch on a summer day to enjoy the weather. Many of my friends come here for lunch so I'm excited to try the lunch special one of these days.

    We ordered takeout here on July 3, so due to the holiday I think it was a bit busier than normal, but service was a sh*tshow. One severely overwhelmed lady serving all customers and takeout orders. This place is clearly a hole in the wall struggling to keep up with how popular it is. Our takeout order took 1 hour, and all seated patrons ordered, ate, and left before we got ours. Needless to say I was in a pretty bad mood. The true test would be how the food tasted. When I got home, I found all dishes we ordered to be fantastic. Standouts were the "Seabass Delight" I think it was called? and the pad see ew. Even after sitting in the take out containers for so long, everything was super tasty and flavorful. Angel wings were stuffed to comically large proportions (not a bad thing!) I'll have to go back to try it on a less busy day and see how it is. Be warned- it's not a big place!

    4 stars service polite but a little slow and forgetful, but the food comes out quick and is GOOD. Definitely a must try, the best Thai food we have had in the Bay Area since moving here. Try the Mango Tango :) Follow up, we have been here 4 times since the above review, service is still slowish and forgetfulish but super polite and friendly. I am officially addicted to the Mango Tango dish, YUM. Their Roti is delish as well, my hubs loves the eggplant and beef dish. This place is decently priced, definitely a good deal. Just don't eat the Mango Tango that's my dish.

  • Lin P.

    I don't know why I don't go here more often, but I really should because Siam is probably one of the best Thai restaurants in San Jose! I went here for dinner with my bf today and we ordered roti curry, beef pad thai, beef drunken noodles, and green chicken curry (we were hungry, lol). Everything tasted wonderful. I was particularly impressed with the green curry. It was loaded with big chunks of chicken and the coconuty flavor is so on point. Siam also knows how to make their roti right. I love it with curry as an appetizer or coconut ice cream as a dessert, they both pair very well with the roti-- flaky/greasy/soft/ and freaking delicious. My only complaint is the location. I wish this place was a bigger because I always feel so crammed when I dine in, but that's ok because service is always prompt and their food always satisfies :)

    This place is terrible. 1. Hard to find, if you don't already know where it is. 2. Hair found in Mango Salad. Strand was black, thick, and medium-length. 3. Waiter gave us the check because he thought we were done with our food. We looked at him funny, and he asked, "You guys aren't done?"

  • Elizabeth V.

    Slow service. Pad thai and fried catfish were very underwhelming. High prices probably due to being next to Santana Row. There are better thai places that give you bigger portions and are way tastier.

  • Daniel B.

    A really great green curry. One of the best I've ever had. Who would have thought that from a San Jose stripmall Thai place? Of course, everything else is awful. Like completely inedible. I was particularly amazed at how quick it all came out. Almost instantly after ordering. Unfortunately this excellent service did not mitigate the horrible food and complete lack of quality or texture. But the green curry is to die for. Almost perfect.

    We just had a dinner there. First time. Everything was amazing - food, service and prices. The lady who has been serving us was attentive and very friendly. The food was outstanding. It's not a glamorous place, but it's definitely a plus! We will be back for a dinner again! We are very happy to find such a place at Santana Row, as other restaurants there are often disappointing. I guess Monday evening is the best time to come!:)

    I've been on a thai food kick lately and Siam Fine Thai cuisine hit the spot! The papaya salad was fresh, tangy and spicy just as I like it. Their drunken noodles were an explosion of flavors in my mouth! I was drunk with delight. Though a tad greasy, I still enjoyed it very much. We also ordered the fried catfish with eggplant. The catfish was greasy, but the veggies were super tasty! 1 appetizer, 2 dishes and a side of rice for $45 is a little pricey. But overall, still worth it's deliciousness!!

  • Sea Turtle M.

    Yummm!! Tried the crab noodles, tom khann soup and mango tango - loved each one of those.. sapporo was good too. Restaurant doesn't have much ambiance and/or space as such but the food was great so didn't care much about fancy stuff. Also, they don't take reservations and given the fact that food is good, the wait is long enough to make you want to take starving sneak peeks at others' orders ;)

    I was feeling adventurous and decided to try Thai food again after months of a nonstop sushi and vietnamese food diet. I came here with a group of 3 and was shocked to see how small the place was. This place has only 8 tables. You heard me, 8. I really don't know how they can accommodate a lunch rush, but any who, small cramped place aside, the food here is very, very good. Their menu is pretty extensive. What my group got was the roti for an appetizer, yellow curry with chicken, chicken pad thai, and the crying tiger. Let's hash it out! Roti: Crispy, flavorful and good! A lil too oily but ok! Yellow Curry: Woah amazing, like no joke! Its very slightly spicy and it complements the sweetness of the coconut milk PERFECTLY. The melt in your mouth carrots and potatoes just add more icing to the cake. Chicken Pad Thai: Very good, probably the best that I had. It has a rich pad thai taste and a generous amount of sauce. It is not dry at all! It had lots of pieces of chicken, so I didn't have to ration out the chicken pieces to people. The Crying Tiger: This was kind of a disappointment. i was expecting the flavor of the beef to be marinated more and to be more rich but the meat was really plain and dry. I would not recommend getting this dish. Service was top notch (and with a restaurant THIS SMALL it better be!) I definitely recommend this place if you're ganna try thai food. I heard the duck curry was good so ill have to try it when I come back! Hopefully the 8 tables won't be full ;]

    A friend of mine was in the mood for Asian curry so I saw it as a perfect opportunity to try out Siam! I've stuck to New Krung Thai down the road for Thai food in the past but I'm loving Siam so far! The restaurant itself is more like a small cafe so there weren't many tables. There were two tables outside! The restaurant was filled up when we came(around 12:30-ish) but our party of 3 was quickly seated within a few minutes. There seems to be only 2 people running the tables but that didn't stop them from being friendly! I asked my server for recommendations and she recommended the Mango Tango the most. Being a cheapo and not wanting to spend $14 on lunch, though, I decided to go for the lunch specials which come with soup, salad, a small egg roll and rice for $7.95-$8.95. She recommended most of the items on the menu but highlighted the curries and fish dishes. I ultimately decided to go with medium spice Panang with chicken! Once we ordered, our server quickly brought out our soup and salad. The salad was a really small dish but it was enjoyable. I'm not exactly sure what the soup was but it tasted like Tom Yum with some coconut milk in it. I really liked the soup! Our food came out not too long after we finished our starters. The Panang tasted exactly how I imagined it would be! It was spicy and creamy from the coconut and just really good! At first, I was thinking I should've gotten the Pad Thai since it looked like a bigger portion but man was I wrong! The curry dish filled me up quite nicely! For $7.95, this was totally worth it! Small business but great food! AND THEY TAKE CARD WITHOUT A MINIMUM OF $10. :D (And split the bill in 3 ways for us)

    One of the best thai restaurants in San Jose. I would have given it another half star, but they forgot to bring one of our orders, and only on reminding them did they start working on it. I wish they had given some discount considering we were waiting there for more than 45mins. Service average, food great!

    Good, quick place to grab lunch if you're around Valley Fair/Santana Row and don't have time to wait. *They have lunch specials for $8.95 *Service is quick *Doesn't get super crowded *Plenty of parking around I ordered the Crispy Catfish, which was good. It consisted of fried catfish fillets, served with eggplant, red bell peppers and basil. It had just the right amount of sauce and spice. Good portion...I probably could have gotten away with only eating half of my meal, but I finished it all. *eep!*

  • Jennifer P.

    Tried this place after years of going to the original Krung Thai. Wanted to venture out and see if there was anything else out there. This is literally a whole in the wall, which the original Krung Thai use to be before it moved. The food was delicious. Had the staples, green curry, pad Thai and tom yum and being adventurous decided to try the wings as was mentioned in some reviews. Probably should have tried it if I was ordering in, but since I took it to go it got soggy, but still flavorful. I've been back several times since my first visit and each time has been good and consistent except this last time, last week. The food was a little on the sweeter side. But would I not return because of this... probably not. I'll give it another gander, since it's so close to home and then if its not up to par...time to venture out yet once more.

  • Rahul G.

    Mediocre taste and little overpriced thai food ! Was around santana row and decided to give it a shot. I ordered Tom Kha Soup and Penang Curry which were good. Hot Basil Chicken which really looked pathetic and so was the taste. So don't know about other reviewers who rated it really high but for us we have had much better Thai food around here.

    (3)

  • Danny K.

    This review is for the pad thai only. I ordered the lunch special for take out and asked for spiciness somewhere between medium and spicy. That turned out not to be that spicy at all. The pad thai was pretty bland and so were the tiny "salad," wonton, and fried spring roll that came with it. I basically ate them to survive through lunch. Also it would be good to note that the menu in the photos section as of 8/15/14 is outdated. The lunch special prices have gone up a buck and you don't get soup for takeouts. The order was filled on time, but I don't think I would go there again just because it is very congested in front of the restaurant.

  • Rebeka L.

    For good Thai food, you can't get a better price! I always do takeout, simply because it's usually pretty packed - the whole in the wall status also means few seats, though when you do eat in (did it once) service is fast, which is good. I've been a bunch of times, my top recommendations are the coconut drink (mm, tasty coconut meat straight from the source for the price of a regular can of juice) and as an appetizer, the roti with yellow curry. The flavor is great. My favorite entree that I keep going back to is Rama. If you love peanuts and spinach, it is AMAZING. Best peanut sauce I've ever tried and no need for rice or anything else. Another good choice is the spicy (of course, if you like spicy) Tom Yum (vegetarian). Great when you're sick and need to clear out sinuses and want a taste so flavorful it'll still get through your sicky haze, heh.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE. It really is a hole in the wall. And it's really the least where you'd expect a restaurant to be. But I'm glad I found this place. I've introduced my sisters and boyfriend here and they love it. No complaints here. Their hawaiian fried rice, papaya salad, pad thai, pad see ew, and panang curry are all delicious. But big thumbs up for their lunch specials!

  • Stephanie C.

    We found this place while looking for something close to Valley Fair and Santana Row in San Jose. The restaurant is a short walk from both, but if you're coming just to eat, there is parking in the back. There isn't much seating, so we had to wait about 10 minutes before getting seated on a Sunday at 7pm. I ordered the See Ew Noodle with Chicken, the same dish I get at every Thai restaurant. It was very well made and tasted just like I hoped it would. The portions were pretty big so I was able to give my boyfriend my leftovers so he would get full as well. I tried a little of my boyfriend's Pad Thai, which I did not enjoy as much. However, I am not a big fan of Pad Thai dishes to begin with. The prices were pretty reasonable as well, less than $10 for each of our noodle dishes.

  • Jennifer D.

    This restaurant is small but tasty! We went on a Friday night and of course found it by using Yelp. Yelp definitely steered us in the right direction. If you are looking to go in a Friday or Saturday night I would suggest going early (not around 6:30 or 7) because the restaurant literally only had 10 tables. We got there around 6:30 and while we were seated within 10 minutes we were right next to the table beside us; they might as well have connected our tables! The service is great! They always refill drinks, food comes out fast and is nice and hot! We ordered Pad Thai and yellow curry. Both were very delicious with great flavors. The Pad Thai used the smaller rice noodles as opposed to the bigger flat noodles. Still delicious. The curry was nice tasting but not enough chicken for the price you pay. They offer white or brown rice, which is a nice option. We also ordered the sticky rice with mango. The rice was nice and sticky and the mangos were sweet. I will definitely be back!! It looks like they do a good take out business as well, so if the line is too long just order to go.

    It is really nice that this area in general has a lot of great Thai restaurants. Came here with the best friend for lunch and was satisfied! During lunchtime their service is prompt and definitely perfect if you work around the area and you have a 1 hour lunchtime. This place is tiny but I did not have a hard time finding parking in the back of the place. They have lunch specials ranging from around 8-10 dollars. Their portions are pretty big! I ordered a Tofu Pad Thai and had enough to bring to work for lunch the next day. Service was great, they knew right when to bring our check and our water was always full. :) Satisfied and will be coming back to see how the rest of their food is!

    I got beef and shrimp pad see ew and it was really good. Very flavorful and spicy, just how I like my food! It had some basil leaves which made the dish smell so good! Beef and shrimp were plentiful so meat wasn't lacking at all. The roti prata was good. The curry could be more flavorful and a little bit spicier for taste but it was still good. Roti bread was flatter than what I like. I like it flaky and light but it was still also very good.

    Beat the crowd, sat down quickly. Super excited about the place as the food looked amazing, too bad I didn't get to try it... We noticed a roach on the wall when the server came we pointed it out to her. So she got her little clip board and smashed it! We heard the crunch and everything!!! She then proceeded to try to take our order. How disgusting!! We left and didn't turn back! What was she thinking?! If I ordered extra protein would she have said, "sure, you can have the one on the wall, it's fresh." Grosssssssss!

    DELICIOUSNESS!!!! It looks like a hole in the wall, strip mall joint that probably will have mediocre food but the dishes we ordered were so delicious and traditional Thai but also non-traditional, at least not anywhere I've seen. First we ordered the special - the Trout Choo Chee which was a crispy whole trout filet that was drenched with curry mushroom sauce. Out of this world! Then we got the Pleasing Garlic Chicken which was pan cooked chicken with oodles of sticky tasty garlic on top of steamed broccoli. Then we had the Hawaiian fried rice which was cooked perfectly with chunks of pineapple, shrimp and chicken. To top it all off - the service was wonderful! I was on crutches and appreciated the host walking me to the bathroom :)

    My favorite Thai place in San Jose. It's a bit hidden in this tiny plaza right before you drive into Santana Row. I never would have noticed it if my friend didn't bring me here. Everything I tried here is delicious. The drunken noodles, mango & prawn salad, pad thai, crab noodles, crab fried rice, tom yum soup...yeah pretty much everything is BOMB here! Craps on downtown san jose's saby thai & such.

    I liked everything. The green curry with rice was delicious. The mild is on the spicier side so if you usually can handle mild at other places, you may not manage here. The egg roll tasted good too. I liked the salad dressing. The service was good here probably because the lunch hour was already over when I ordered. The cashier was so friendly and sweet. She treats everyone like family and remembers everyone when I saw regulars show. Lunch portions are perfect and will fill you up for $8.

    Great place ! I ve been here for dinner and lunch. There is a wait for dinner even on a weekday. The Tom Yum soup was yummy! Thai fried rice and drunken noodles were very good. The Thai angry was on the spicier side, but manageable. The portions are pretty big, I could not finish mine and got it boxed. The parking spaces are not enough on a crowded night. But you can find street parking close by.

    The service was really good and the wait wasn't bad at all. The food was so delicious I chose a Yelp tip for the prawn roll and it was the best thing we ate. If you get dessert, get the fried banana with coconut ice cream. Best dessert I've had in a long time

Try to go there for dinner before it gets busy unless you like to to wait for table. They should get a bigger place.

    Service was adequate, prices are fair. The portions are great - large plates for a reasonable price. The staff was respectful and friendly. My friend and I ordered a Pad Thai and another noodle plate. Both were excellently cooked, and the noodles had the perfect amount of chewiness to them. It's a very small place - you probably don't want to come here with a large group. We came around 7:00pm, and with a party of two, we still had to wait about 15 minutes for a table to open up.

    I've been here three times now and will keep going back. I LOVE their eggplant with prawns and their Tom Yum soup is always delicious.

    This place is unassuming from the outside, but everything we had was pretty solid. We had tom yum soup, papaya salad, a beef dish, and another noodle dish. I liked the roti, it was much thicker than some I've had before. Don't order if you prefer the thin, crispy kind.

    Loving this place! One of my two fav Thai spots in San Jose! Drunken noodles never fail, and they have roti curry! Oh so good and you can choose what kind of curry dipping sauce you would like. How awesome is that! Crab fried rice is also good! Oh can't complain about this place.

    One star because I came for the Tom Yum soup and this time there was 3 pieces of shrimp and ALL mushrooms. No vegetables at all. The broth wasn't sour, it was spicy and sweet. Tom Yum is supposed to be sour and it would have carrots, baby corn and some leafy greens along with mushrooms. Very disappointed. Not coming back here again. Thai Spice in Willow Glen is way better.

    Been through many thai places in the south bay... and I'd have to put Siam around the top for their real solid thai food. They stay consistently good. I've been here several times and the flavors are always amazing. They put just the right amount of spice/seasoning (not too little and not too much) and they do it every time (unlike many other thai places). Menu is pretty much the same as every other thai restaurant but the flavors (and quality of their ingredients) def come through here! Service is always spot on. The only downside is that their resteaurant is small, If you are craving Thai food (not asian fusion or a diverse menu), then this is a very solid thai place to go. I recommend this place to everyone.

  • Jenny J.

    Summer rolls, pad thai with fried tofu, and spicy basil chicken. Nothing really stood out, except that the summer rolls were very large and came with a delicious peanut sauce that I ended up drizzling on my pad thai. The pad thai was kind of strange - the noodles stuck together into one big ball, the broccoli was overcooked, and the tofu was very very dry and vaguely sour. The chicken was okay but also nothing great. There was tons of bell pepper filler. Driving tip- the restaurant is easy to miss because it's in the corner of an office building obstructed from view by some trees. It's between Redwood and Baywood aves.

    Ordered pad thai, it was too sweet. Mentioned it to waitress but she said that the sauce is made that way.. Whatever. All entrees must purchase rice separately as well. Not the best.

    I just came back from dinner here and I'm already craving it... My search for the tastiest Thai in the South Bay finally comes to an end with the discovery of Siam Fine Thai Cuisine! Thanks to Yelp, I've found my new go-to place to eat around Santana Row/Valley Fair. Screw you, Yard House, and your ridiculous wait! The Tom Khar soup, while a Thai staple, is beautifully executed here. Fresh bits of lemon grass and galanga wake up the taste buds, while coconut milk gives it the perfect silkiness to calm things down. I'm usually not too impressed with Thai soups, but this one really hit the mark. The Roasted Duck Curry is one of the best I've had. The duck was moist and boneless (yay!), while the red curry is complex and well-balanced with the sweet pineapple. If you like stir-fried noodles that aren't saucy, or are looking for an alternative to the usual greasy chow mein, the Silver Noodles are a great choice. The tofu was a bit dry but hearty enough to make your stomach forget that you're not eating meat. It's so surprising to find such great eats on the corner of a nondescript building, but don't let the location fool ya. There's a parking lot in the back, but it's totally within walking distance from the mall. Ambiance is not the greatest but the authentic food and super friendly service more than make up for it. Can't wait to come back!

    First time visit and compared to other Thai places in Bay-Area, this is a good place to visit. My have my other Fav Thai Places, but I just wanted to try and see how this one was. Overall good service and good good.

    I have been here a few times now, and I think this is my new favorite Thai place in the area. Food is always consistent in flavor, spiciness, and overall goodness. This place can be a little hard to find with the trees out front, so keep your eyes peeled when you get close! Very worth it, glad I found this hidden gem! Some of my favorite dishes are drunken noodle, red/yellow/green curry, and pleasing garlic chicken. YUM

    JUST EAT EVERyTHING!!!!! ONE OF EACH ORDER!!!! Without question this is where I take friends or anyone coming to visit. Who cares if it is small and you may need a jacket. The curry is delicious and their pad thai and roti, I have eaten everything and every dessert and it makes me feel happy inside.

    Perfect tiny Thai restaurant tucked away next to Santana row. The food and service here are amazing! No words can describe how craveable the food is here. Drunk noodles, crab fried rice and Thai angry are staples, but everything I've tried here is delicious. The staff are so friendly and actually care if you enjoy the food, even when there's a line out the door of a packed restaurant. Makes the 45min-hour wait so worth it. Vegetables are fresh and it all tastes homemade and very authentic (I've been to Bangkok). Bottom line: hands down the best Thai food in the Bay Area and I've tried the majority of places within a 30 mile radius over past 15 years. The next time you consider Krung Thai, leave the hype and head for food worth the calories and come here :)

  • Sebastian T.

    This is my favorite Thai restaurant hands down. They have the BEST Tom Kha soup! I've been to quite a few other Thai places and their Tom Kha doesn't compare. I usually get it medium spicy, in the hot pot and its perfect. The guy who runs the place is always friendly and always remembers us. I give this place an A++.

  • Dianna N.

    Found this hidden gem two blocks away from SR. I prefer this place over the New Krung Thai restaurant any day. Service was a little slow, and there was a slight wait, but the food was pretty good....a little bit in the salty side (I'm a salt lover). Other than that if probably hit this spot again if I ever crave thai food.

    Where do I start? This place is really really good. The booboo and I were looking for the spot and imagined it being a full restaurant, but we finally found it and wasnt expecting it to be a tiny little restaurant. We got in and got a table luckily because it was full. Tom Yum Soup - GOOOOD. errr mahh gadddd, the flavor is just right. I annihilated it soooo quick. papaya salad - it was alright. pretty much tasted like anyone could make it, but still refreshing and light. Green Curry- one of the best green curries I've ever tried. drunk noodles - do they make their own noodles? The noodles were really soft and pretty much melted in your mouth. little disappointed on the amount of noodles were given, but the flavor was overwhelmingly yummy. 46$ for the whole meal. seems legit, I usually spend 40-60 when I got out with the boo. service- I'm not sure it was the owner, but she was really sweet. Always made sure we are doing great. I don't really know what much to say, but to try this place out. I'm definitely coming back. possible next week. im craving it. haha.

  • Nathan Y.

    Considering the positive reviews here, I think we had a one-off. The food came out in tiny portions. The fish was stale and smelled funny. The curry was plain and didn't have enough meat in it. We shared about 5-6 dishes family style, and only the Pad See-ew was good ... but still not as good as the ones we've cooked.

    Rock star Thai! It's a small place with limited seating. The food is absolutely scrumptious.

    I haven't found a good Thai restaurant in a while until I came here. This place is really really small, so don't expect to come here with a big party (will definitely be a long wait). I came here for dinner on a Sunday night around 7 and got seated almost immediately. Maybe we were lucky that there wasn't too many people here. Very reasonable prices! I ordered the Pad See Ew with beef while my girlfriend ordered the Pad Thai with chicken. Both were really really good! The pad see ew noodles were nice and thick and chewy. The flavor was impeccable. The beef was a bit dry though :( and the pad thai was probably the best pad thai I've ever had. You know you got some legit pad thai if it has a very rich/pungent tamarind/plum flavor. Nice and saucy. Chicken was dry :( Overall, great flavor for both dishes. 4 stars because sometimes the meat is dry and other times it's pretty tender :P but I will still come here if I want a good pad thai/pad see ew fix.

    I chose to have my birthday dinner at Siam Fine Thai because I'd been wanting some Thai food and with such great reviews, I thought it was a no brainer. We got the Chicken Satay which was good. The peanut sauce was good as was the pickled cucumber but we'd eaten one bite before our meals were brought out. We were given the Shrimp Pad Thai next. It was overly saucy. It was so thick and heavy that we didn't enjoy it. I also prefer to have raw bean sprouts served with the dish along with cilantro and peanuts of which none were noted. Then the Massaman curry was delivered. The beef was in large cubes which I immediately thought would be tough but was pleasantly surprised to find them like pot roast pieces. It sounds odd but it worked and was our favorite of the evening. Finally, we were given our second appetizer, Golden Tofu which was tasteless and tough. We each ate one piece and left the remainder. I chose not to get dessert to try and not go down any further on my birthday.

    This place did not live upto it's reputation on Yelp. The food was average and kind of greasy. The service was poor. They forgot one item. When we asked for it, they finally bought and served it with no apology. I dont recommend this place.

  • Maureen P.

    I wanted Thai food but had never heard of this place before. I saw the great reviews so I had to check it out. My friend and I got the Drunk noodle dish, Yellow curry with rice, sticky rice with mango, and fried banana with coconut ice cream. It was absolutely delicious and I could see why it had such great reviews. Will definitely be coming back here :)

    Really good, reasonably priced lunch special. It's kind of small inside, but service is always good: very nice people. You can call in orders to go, but no soup if you do. Still worth it!

    Yikes. This place is rated really highly, but I had a terrible experience here. I had ordered a Roti Prata appetizer, but when it came, it was INCREDIBLY oily. It was literally dripping! My guests and I decided that we couldn't eat it, so we told the waiter what problem we were having. Usually, restaurants would either replace your meal with a less oily version, or simply take it away and cancel the order. However, the lady told us that she couldn't do anything about it. She simply took our order away from the table when we said we didn't want it, but STILL charged us for it! Once the check came, I asked her about the charge and she said that since it was cooked, she was going to charge us. We didn't want to argue, so we paid. However, we did not leave her a proper tip. As if it wasn't bad enough, as I approached my car, the lady ran up behind us and said "You forgot to leave a tip". That really took us aback. I told her why we didn't tip her properly, and then told her that a tip is supposed to be optional if you do not like the service. That was absolutely ridiculous. (The rest of the food was pretty decent but the customer service ruined it)

    Came here yesterday with a friend and had some amazing Thai food. Hands down, best green curry chicken I've ever had. The pad thai was decent, but the shrimp was over cooked. We also tried to order the fried roti with coconut ice cream, but they were out of coconut ice cream. :( Overall, the place was small and quiet and the food was quite tasty. Will definitely come back here in the foreseeable future- the green curry chicken is calling me name already!

    My boyfriend and I originally had dinner plans, but they got cancelled which led to us coming to Siam Fine Thai. We were in the area and decided to try this place out. We came around 7pm on a weekend and got seated immediately. Service was fast and food came fast. Awesome. I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai while he ordered the Beef See Ew. Both of them were excellent! i LOVE their pad thai...it's definitely more saucy & flavorful. It's really heavy in that plummy/tamarind flavor. It's also on the sweeter side. I really hate dry pad thai, so this dish def hit the spot & made me really happy! The reason why I didn't give this place 5 stars is that the chicken was a bit dry. If the chicken were moist....5 stars definitely. I would probably prefer this dish with Tofu instead just to avoid the one tiny downfall of this place. I had a bite of my boyfriends See Ew. The beef was a bit dry, like my chicken. But the dish had so much flavor. The texture of the noodles were soft and chewy. Yum Yum! I feel like this will be one of my go-to thai places from now on! a MUST when im craving pad thai...*drool*

  • Ai L.

    wow, i love basil and i love eggplants and they make it just right! i think they may fry/pan-fry? the eggplant first, so it's crunchy and than stir fry it with basil? the eggplant was nice and crunchy with all the yummy sauces without being super soggy. Also tried their fish special too. Red curry was yummy with pork and flavorful. never knew this place was here, right across the street from valley fair mall and next door to santana row. a small place with less than 10 tables. visited again for lunch. a good deal for less than $9 you get a bite of a salad, a small soup and the main dish with rice. and they are not stingy on the portion either. I can see why this place is always packed. but of course, it's not a very big restaurant in the first place. we had a party of 6 for lunch and waited about 30min. it was worth it. maybe next time, i'll try take-out and call in the order. the service is iffy. sometimes they are so busy that you have to wave your hand a few times. but store is small enough that they will notice you eventually. will come back again for sure

    Literally a hole in the wall! You pass by the kitchen on your way to the one bathroom stall they have. Note, all the cooks in the back are Asian! I am excited because that rarely is the case!! I came here around 3pm on a Sat and they still had a crowd. Very very limited seating, not recommended for groups 4+. A great place to phone in and pick up your meal. A little hard to find because its in what looks like a business building in a corner on the first floor. It's in one of the buildings across from Valley Fair Mall. I have only been here once but I can tell there is great potential. I will be coming back to try other dishes and cross my fingers I keep my rating. They offer different levels of spiciness for their dishes when you order. THAI ICED TEA was great :) CRAB FRIED RICE was also great! Pleasantly surprised by the size and amount of crab meat in this dish. I would recommend and reorder this one. PAD THAI wasn't as good as I had hoped. One of my to-go Thai dishes I order but unfortunately I won't be ordering it here. The noodles were done perfectly though. PRAWN ROLL was DE-licous! Prawns, shreds of carrots and cabbage, rolled inside a wonton wrap, then deep fried. Served with a sweet & sour dipping sauce. I am ordering this again.

  • Peter K.

    Not bad at all. Came here few weeks ago for the first time on my vacation. Wanted to take my cousin out for a quick lunch, and wanted something good so used yelp and found this Thai spot. 4star is about right, I think the curry is worth the 5star, one of the best curry I had besides my mom's homemade curry. Tried the green curry and couldn't ask for more. But I have to take a star away for the pricing. An order of curry does not come with any rice on the side, so you have to order them separately . Brown rice is about $2 and I would have to say 1 order of rice is not enough for an order of curry, so I end up getting 2 orders of rice and so did my cousin. I know is the location is next to Santana Row and Valley fair, but for 2 people without drinks $30 is a bit too much for me. However because of the quality of the curry, I would take friends here to try it out.

    I think this is my favorite thai place in the South Bay :) It can get pretty crowded though because there's not a whole lot of seating, so try to come early or be prepared to wait for a table. For most dishes that you order here, including the pad thai and pad see ew, they ask how spicy you would like your dish. I don't think I've tried any of the noodle dishes very spicy yet though. Roti Appetizer - Good, but I've had better at other places. The roti isn't as crispy as I would like... I would skip it. Pad Thai - Sweet flavor, yummy. Comes with tofu even if you order another meat. Pad See Ew - My favorite! All the noodles are chewy and had good flavor. I guess it can be a little bit on the salty side but that doesn't really bother me because at least it's not bland. Yellow Curry - Comes with a lot of chicken! The curry is creamy and a bit more spicy than I would expect from a mildly spicy dish. Doesn't come with rice though so be sure to order that separately. Coconut Juice - I discovered here that I actually really like coconut meat :) I think I order the coconut juice more for the coconut meat than for the juice.

  • Nate R.

    I have been here several times and consistently provide great service and good food. The food is typical American style Thai food that tastes delicious. Since I have recently gone vegetarian, I have had more of an appreciation for good fresh vegetable dishes and veggie options. This place certainly has some good options and along with large portions are quite satisfying. My only gripe (and this seems to be an epidemic around the bay area) is they don't really make anything very spicy. You'd think a Thai place would know how to turn up the heat, but you can't get much more than what's in the little red pepper sauce on the table. I guess you can thank Curry Up Now in San Mateo for ruining me with their Ghost Pepper hot sauce.

  • Michael K.

    They were extremely slow on their take-out service! We called in an order for $80 worth of food and they said that it's be 25 minutes...it ended up being a 45 minute wait. The spring rolls were soggy by then, and they only put a cucumber in it??? There was no shrimp or anything.. The egg rolls were bomb, however. Pad Thai and pad see ew were solid, as well.

    Fine cuisine? More like frozen cuisine in a microwave to me. My experience was in fact not as pleasurable. Got in on a wednesday night, with my family and the first thing i see, is a BIG red dirt mark on a plate. I just stare at it with disgust. The waitress seating us, notices it, and takes the plate away. So disgusting. Ordering was interesting, because we had asked our waitress what foods were good on the menu? Our waitress was sorta skimpy on her choices given to us. Very confusing. Dinner was very skimpy like our waitress, and very flat looking. The benefit was the great tasting food. The lime Sea bass was the only decent plated dish that i had ordered. I ordered the tom yum soup, crab fried rice, seafood noodles lime sea bass. Soup - 1.6/5 Fried rice - 3.9/5 Noodles- 2.6 /5 Sea bass - 2/52 The tom yum soup soup has lots of spice, and ordering medium is equal to a flame taking a massive nap on your taste buds. Concludion? You decide :)

    It was okay.. Decided to give this spot a try.. Let me just say everything is overpriced and the portions are tiny. My bf and I generally cannot finish portions at restaurants (we always have leftovers) but damn for the price they charge you barely get shit.. The green curry was packed with sodium. It was weird. Service was good but nothing special. Would I come back? Probably not.

    The parking lot behind this place has a lower level I swear served as the backdrop of a couple x-files episodes where Mulder gets some inside info from Deep Throat. It also has a unique combo smell of pee pee and cheap weed. Siam's food is beyond all Thai food expectations. They offer great food for a price my broke-ass can afford.

  • Asha R.

    If I could I would give it no stars because this place did not deserve any. Service was bad. The food was extremely spicy inspite of telling them medium spicy. Could not eat it. When we complained the manager smiled and said that the same chef was cooking it for the past 5 years ( as if we cared). Awful place. We would never come here again.

  • Kathy Y.

    This is a reallyyyyyy yummy Thai food place. I like it even more because it's a small shop which means it's always smelling like thai food and it'll always be warm inside. It's also conveniently located near Santana Row. You ever feel hungry but you don't want to burn a hole in your wallet? Well, walk yourself over to Siam after a long day of walking and shopping. I'd recommend any of their curries- they are all good and tasty. Portions are pretty good considering how cheap their dishes cost... I would also recommend getting their mango with sticky rice as a dessert. Mangos weren't in season when I tried it, but the sauce made up for the lack of taste in the mangos. DELICIOUS. Their customer service is also always amazing and helpful despite how crowded this little place can get.

    Togo dinner portion is disappointing....Prices have at LEAST $3 difference from lunch. Yet my $10.95 dinner togo portion W/O rice and etc is the same as $7.95 lunch portion of curry?? Ripoff. Crispy catfish dish for $13.95 was shoved in a small 12oz container. 14bucks for literally one filet of fish.....UGH. Siam has good food but this is ridiculous.

    Idk why I bother coming back. Thai food is suppose to be spicy yet when I ordered extra spicy it was sweet. The service is pretty non-existence and they overcharged me. I had to call my bank to get reimbursed . Make sure you check if your paying with your card!!!

  • Wil P.

    Good food! The restaurant is somewhat small, so it can get a little packed during prime dinner hours. Sometimes, the servers are so busy that they don't even acknowledge customers standing by the door for a while. My favorite dishes: popeye (spinach and tofu), roti curry, and crab fried rice. I always order "thai spicy" so the dish is done to the level of spicy that I can actually taste the spiciness.

    This place was good. I came here with my family on a Sunday night. The place was very small. There were like around 8 tables inside and two outside. I wish they had more tables. We wanted to try a different soup other than tom yum for once so we tried the gang jued. The Gang Jued soup was delicious. It had some vermicelli noodles in there. We also ordered pad thai, mango tango, hawaiian fried rice, and papaya salad. The food was good except the hawaiian fried rice. It was edible, but didn't taste super great as the other food we ordered. I wouldn't dock points off of that because their customer service was amazing. All the servers were nice and checked up on us every so often. My favorite would be Gang Jued and then Pad Thai. Rice was not free though. It's 2 dollars per bowl.

    This has definitely become my favorite Thai place in this area. It is a very small location so I can see it filling up quickly, but the food was so good. I got the Pad Thai which was SO SO flavorable and perfect. The noodles were perfectly textured and the praws were large and juicy. My friend got the Hawaiian fried rice which was equally flavorable and delicious.

    this place is a win on so many levels! Good amount of servings on their dishes - plus its good too! My absolute favorite are their Angel Wings! It is the BEST! Another must try is the crab fried rice and their pad thai! Well, everything is actually really good! just try everything! The place is a little small and can get filled up quickly. However, everything is cooked made to order! You can hear and smell them cooking your order in the kitchen - big plus for me :)

    It's not the worst place to have dinner but certainly not worth all the positive reviews on yelp, in out opinion. The food was good, nothing spectacular for the money we paid. The portion sizes were limited, too, which was a dampened considering we waited for about 20 mins to get seats. Pros: good service, decent food. Cons: a little pricey, limited quantity

  • Cathy O.

    Solid Thai food. I would've tried one of the soups or curries but the hubs isn't into either. So we ordered the fried calamari appetizer which was definitely solidly good. The calamari was quite chewy. We also ordered the angry tiger with beef and there was nothing angry with it. That was fine. I thought it was good but the hubby thought it was better than good. And finally the drunken noodle which I liked more than the hubs. I didn't like how the noodle was a bit melty/ mushy though. Just a bit. But I still thought it was good. Maybe a bit salty. Park in the back and walk around to the front. The place is tiny! So don't be bringing a large family of kids. Maybe to-go if you have kids? Service was great but the woman was sad & melancholic. The male servers were warm and servant-like. Would go again if we were in the vicinity.

  • Kristinrose D.

    I love this place! One of the best Thai restaurants to go to, hands down. Everything that my friends and I ordered was definitely on point. I highly suggest getting the Panang chicken and red curry. The Panang curry has more of a sweet kick to it, while the red curry has more of a spicy kick. Both will definitely hit the spot though, it just depends on your mood. The pad Thai is also really good, though I must say I was thrown off a bit when I first took a bite because it was a little bit sweet, so be aware of that. I've only been here once and my friends and I got seated right away, but they tell me that it gets pretty crowded during the weekday/weekends. We actually went earlier, but there wasn't as much people since it was a Sunday night. I guess it just depends on the day and time you come.

  • Thai T.

    Hands down, my top favorite places for Thai Food. I ordered the beef Pad Thai. I must say, I never tasted a Pad Thai like this that just melts in your mouth. Very fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. Portions fill up almost the entire dish. The curry here is a must have as well. Customer service is quick and plenty of parking. Also, it was conveniently located a few blocks away from Santana Row! Warning, inside is very small with a handful of tables. Big parties should make reservations. As far as customer service and the delicious Thai Food. a highly recommended place if you are a fan of Thai Food!

    Great find. I love Thai food and they are about the best in my opinion. I think it's more of a take out place as it is very small. It's reasonably priced, the ingredients are always fresh, and they have very fast service. Best Thai I've found in The South Bay thus far.

  • Kim D.

    Small place across from Valleyfair. It's near Cash 4 Gold, so just look out for the person waving the Cash4Gold sign around, haha. I came on a Friday at around 4pm-ish. Pretty empty, so we got seated right away. I got the thom kha soup, pad see ew, and thai tea. Thom kha soup - It's a coconut-based soup, with chicken, ginger, and all that good stuff. Sooo good. I like it more than I liked the pad thai! I always get this at EVERY Thai restaurant I go to. They make it above average in my opinion! I also prefer it a little bit spicy, so just ask & they'll add spices for you! Pad see ew - Meh. So, so. I've had better. It was bland and.. plain. If you're a pad see ew lover like me, don't get this here. It doesn't live up to others that I've tried. Thai tea - You can't mess up Thai tea. It wasn't too sweet. Pretty good. My brother said his pad thai was pretty plain too. Said it needed more flavor. Oh, and when one of the workers took my food to box it up, she accidentally flung pieces of pad see ew on the table and on my jeans. Granted, it was an accident, but they just came out the wash and it sucked to walk around with a food stain on them. She said sorry, handed me a napkin, and smiled.. Ok. At least sound more sincere about it. I wanted to like this place because of all the golden reviews, I really did, but I don't think I'll be coming back unless it's of convenience.

    One of the best crab fried rice I've had - lots of crab meat! Roti appetizer is delish. Tom yum goong is a bit expensive ($15) in comparison to other restaurants. The plus is that they know how to do spicy right so you can adjust your spice-level. A solid thai restaurant!

  • Robert H.

    The food taste fantastic! I had the pad Thai which was really good although I wish it had fried tofu pieces in it like king of Thai does in SF. My fiancé got the green curry with tofu and we both liked it. We also had the Tom Khan spicy coconut soup and it was great! I highly recommend the soup. My new favorite Thai spot in SJ.

    Pro: Food was delicious!!! The spicy pad see ew was our favorite, next would have to be the Penang curry and then eggplant tofu. Con: The roti, it was burnt and super greasy (more than normal). Place is small and doesn't have a lot of waiting area options and I'm never sure who is next because there's no wait list.

    So easy to miss Siam. It's near Mantana Row and across from Valley Fair. Thats why to me its been years since I promised myself Ill stop by. It finally happened a few days ago. I do love small cozy places like this one. We dropped in for dinner and just beat the dinner rush by a few minutes. We were seated right away and we decided to share an order of their papaya salad and an order of their Beef Rendang. The papaya salad was fresh and the delicate balance of sour and sweetness was perfect. The papaya was fresh and crunchy. Colors were bright and attractive. The Beef Rendang was very good too. My only gripe with this dish was there was less beef meat and more sauce. Sauce filled the bowl but the meat was just a few pieces. Disappointed. Thinly cut and very limited amount...I left hungry. The brown rice is just a filler as in any rice dish...Im not a fan of rice really..so yeah. Service was fast and matter of fact. Clean tables and surroundings. Big plus. They have parking in the back. Now thats one star deserving right there! I will go back and try more of their other dishes.

    Important: some styles of Thai cooking are sweet, even the savory main dishes. The pad Thai is sweet, but the other dishes such as the curry and ram (chicken with peanut sauce and spinach) were not. The lemonade was not fresh, but tasted like Crystal Light powder, which is just wrong. The food is much better here than any other place I've been so far.

    This Thai restaurant is a small hidden gem steps away from Santana Row area. I've dined here a long time ago and simply failed to review it. A couple of days ago I revisited, to confirm the blurred memory of it being outstanding. This time, I asked about the parking and it turns out they have a dozen or so spots in the back. The place is very small, so I'm glad to have dined here just prior to dinner rush. I'd say there's maybe a dozen tables inside with very limited outside area. The dining furniture is a bit more on the nicer side and clean rather than the typical cafeteria ones, but nothing to impress with. Upon entry, the staff greeted us immediately and brought menus with glasses of water. The place instantly received a star just for the staff bringing water with lemons without having to ask for it. A lot of restaurants could learn from this simple act of service. We started with the Papaya Salad, the vibrant colors of the ingredients screamed freshness. The shredded green papaya and beans were very crunchy, just the way I love them. After indulging in the salad, we ordered the Beef Panang with a side order of brown rice. This dish was amazing, the meat was tender, peppers were crunchy and the sauce was delicious with a mild spice per order. The only thing I was disappointed with was the amount of beef, the dish was very soupy, as if they were attempting to make its portion appear larger. When finished with our rice, order for one, there was enough sauce left to make soup with. Even though the amount of beef was questionable, I will be back next time I'm yearning for Thai cuisine to explore that extensive menu.

    This is not the most friendly resturant. The service is terrible but the food is not bad. There is a heavy set lady from Thailand who says she's the owner, but I don't think she is because she's so rude to me everytime. As a owner one should understand the importance in being polite and a owner should value their customers. This is not it the case. I walked over to place an order, while my car was in the shop. The heavy set lady from Thailand took my order and I mentioned that I had to walk back to get my car and asked if it's ok if I pay when I pick up the food. She said yes. I returned 20 min later, no food. With the number of times I have been missyreatwd, that was my final try. I like their food but I hate how they treat me. I truely feel stertiotyped here and if you are a minority, be careful of this place

    I had better thai food than this. The soup basically tastes like a jar of tom yum from the store. The papaya was very bland.

  • Mete C.

    Cute Thai place. Two older ladies cooking in the back and one waiter/manager front . (Make sure to ask for hot pepper paste on the side and also ask for no sugar added to your food. If you don't want Americanized version) Soft shell crab and crab noodles were ok. Asked for extra Basil and got charged $2 per plate extra. Though lost in translation in the back a bit. Cute place but don't expect blown away Thai experience .

  • Kay N.

    Like the previous review said, the wait sucks and the place really doesn't have much ventilation going on which minuses 1 star. The place is really small and the location is kinda off, but the food is definitely worth it.. kinda From my personal experience, I've always had good customer service. The waiters are really attentive and answers any questions I have about the menu. Anyways.. about the food. I've had their pad thai, green curry with chicken, pineapple fried rice, and their pad kee mao (too lazy to look up the real spelling). They were made with the right spices and were really flavorful. The curry is kind of a small serving, but the rice dish and pad thai were medium-sized (enough for 2 people). Definitely one of the best Thai places that I've tried but I just wished they had some sort of ventilation where air can come in.. especially in this heat.

  • Anthony N.

    Well, well, did I just finally find the best Thai spot in South Bay? Crab noodles. Gah damn. Subtitle crab taste with tons of spices, that's how I like it. Medium spicy is the way to go, although you can push your tolerance after a few stops here. Green curry. Get it with chicken or tofu, up to you, but they definitely load up the bowl like it's nobody's business. Service is aces. Attentive, but not all up in your grill. Downsides = this place is tiny. They might set up a table right next to you to make sure of all their limited square footage. So come early or later or you'll be crammed into the 4-seater waiting area.

    The title for two stars is definitely right, 'Meh, I've experienced better'. This place is okay, cannot believe it has that many good reviews, do people not taste the salt and msg in this. Came in here at 11:00am, right as it opened. Would say there is 3 tables tops in this place total during my time here. The service then is and was extremely slow. My brother ordered: Fried catfish Tom Yum seafood hotpot Crab noodles 3 White rice 1 brown rice (NO SHOW) - with the service time, didn't bother even asking for it. Fried Catfish - SALT on SALT on SALT!! Tom Yum - It was good, could used more sour to it, addition to keeping it nice and spicy. Overall, it was good; had better. Crab Noodles - STEER AWAY! The flavor was lacking, the crab sucked and again this had more salt than anything else! I can literally taste the salt out of its container -1 star for the amount of MSG and Salt -1 For super slow service, the cared more about their offerings they are doing than their customers -1 for the food quality Never again.

    The food here is really good. My favorites are Pad Thai or Pad See Ew. The only downside is that this place is so tiny and is almost always packed lol Located right next to Santana Row and across from Valleyfair Mall.

  • Elias R.

    This place was very tasty! We ordered: Chicken Curry, Yellow, mild Steamed Jasmine Rice for 2 Chicken Pad Thai, mild Chicken Drunken Noodles, mild $36 before tip So lets start with the service... it wasn't awesome, but with Thai places, is it ever? I have had great Thai food experiences, but they never included remarkable service. Very small place. nothing fancy about decor or ambiance either. Now that that's out of the way, the food. The curry was on point! Flavors were so deep and delicious, it needed nothing! Perfect on top of the rice which was also served perfectly cooked and warm :) Pad thai is my favorite, and here it was great! The flavor meld together so well, with a squeeze of lime on top, delicious! I do not like drunken noodles, ever! I get them for my wife and try them to be fair. But here they were great!! Oh god, finally, so well seasoned, nothing was overwhelming, no massive tomato slices or egg chunks to throw off flavor and textures, just all good :) And obviously the price for the food is great too! So if you're looking for good Thai for a decent price in an expensive environment, this is it!!

  • Abby Q.

    Seems as if ive had a knack for thai food lately, since ive been to a slew of thai restaurants in the past few weeks, lol. This place has got to be my top pick for the best pad thai of them all. Luckily, my friend and i came during their lunch special. He ordered the spicy fried rice while i chose the pad thai, both medium. Regular prices for those two are about $10, i believe. during the lunch special, its about that same amount, with the addition of a free individual sized salad, a serving of soup, a side of this crunchy thing, and a mini eggroll. Great little deal! Pad thai was beyond tasty. This place will now be the first option to pop in my head whenever i get a craving for thai. I want to come back and try their drunk noodles as well as pad see ew. Lady servers were very friendly, which was icing on the cake.

  • Tim D.

    A couple of months ago I went to this place. My girlfriend and I typically stay away from Pad Thai, so don't look to my review for Pad Thai information. I loved the other food! I ordered the Drunken Beef Noodles (10/10) and my girlfriend ordered the Pad See Ew (9/10). You can't go wrong with either. However, I was not a fan of their spring rolls.

  • Nancy K.

    Visited here on a Tuesday night with my friend. I ordered green curry with chicken, he ordered mango shrimp. Verdict: Food was okay but definetely not great. The curry sauce was very watery. Chicken satay tasted blunt and it was chewy. Unfortunately atmosphere was run down, not suitable for a date or a formal dinner. Thai iced was really good. This place serves dishes at the same price point as much nicer restaurants with as good or better food quality. Overall, might be good for an informal lunch if you are in the vicinity. Definetely not worth a trip.

  • Jacob J.

    I was impressed at first by the genuineness and traditionalism of this joint. Our appetizer was - Chicken Satay Skewers w/ Peanut Sauce - 2/5. The meat was dry, and although the subtle but heavy creaminess of the peanut sauce complimented the dryness well, it wasn't enough a strong potentiation. The sharp dryness within a few chews was so present that it disappointed me too much; the sauce couldn't save it. Sea Bass Green Curry - 3.5/5. The fish itself was amazing. Drenched in a disappointing sauce, the fish maintained consistency staying fresh and chewy with a clean, warm, trusting sea bass taste. It was a good quality! But however, the sauce was weak. I really enjoyed the intention of the complimenting taste palettes but it wasn't done right. Almost there! Duck Red Curry - 3.5/5. The sauce was amazing! Great creaminess without being too heavy. Left your mouth with a certain tang, and a great aftertaste, leaving me to want more; it was savory. The duck however was weak. Cooked similar to Chinese BBQ duck, it did not do the soft/sogginess well. It made you almost decide "crunchy duck BBQ is the only way." Well, almost there. Flavor in the duck meat itself was also meh. Angry Noodles - 1.5/5. Sure, it was genuine, of some quality ingredients, and looked great, but whoa. The grease was packed heavy, even for an already-greasy food. This was hard to fathom; usually greasy food comes with insane qualities of savory and tastiness because shit, why would you make something greasy and also taste average? Well, are you gonna answer? Rice options: White rice - 2/5, edible perfectly, but this is college student quality. Sticky rice - 3/5, sticky rice is PERFECT with Thai curry, however, it wasn't easy to handle and mold. It stuck together and was hard to work with like an ice cream that was way too cold and dense. That's the word - dense. Brown rice - 2.5/5, nothing special, not the best. Anyway, this place had tons of good hope and great intention as well as strong points. I can see growth and promise. But that's for the next visit. Also, for you orange juice lovers, it was labelled fresh but tasted right out a can. Deceiving.

  • Christina N.

    So impressed! A tiny little thai place which looks rather unassuming. Outstanding food and great service! Be prepared to wait in line though...it appears locals know this place is great! I got the bbq chicken - a wonderful and "light" option for those not wanting something heavy. Not saucy at all (my memphis counterparts would be ashamed!). The brown rice they serve is also something to write home about!!

  • Andréa W.

    The place is on the small side so if you are a party of 5+ people, good luck getting a table! I came here with my mom for dinner so we were seated almost immediately. Our food came out really fast as well. The Tom kha gai was exceptional with a very rich broth! Some of the best I've tasted and my mom agreed. From the first taste we knew we'd be comong back again soon. My mom's green curry was perfect. I ordered panang beef and it was good, though they were a bit heavy handed with the fish sauce so it was on the saltier side. They also serve the red-brown rice which I prefer over short grain brown rice. The mango sticky rice was great though it could've used more of the savory sauce on the sticky rice. We were also given spoons which made eating it a bit odd. Overall we were very satisfied and impressed with this place. We made sure to grab a to-go menu before we left since this is also a great place for take out!

  • Angeline H.

    This place seriously lacks service. The cooks in the back are 2 old ladies that can't handle the pace of how busy it is in here. It's very small so I suggest you come with a party of 4 or smaller. The appetizers and soup prices are $9-12 and are just as much as the entrees! Bogus pricing in my opinion. I ordered Tom kha soup small, beef drunken noodles, and chicken Thai fried rice. I asked for basil in the fried rice and the lady was going to charge me $1! Really???? The total came out to $32. Pricey for what is is. I ordered to go at 8pm on a Friday night. I came at 8:30 and food was still not ready. 45 min for togo???? Never again -__- Btw, my togo soup came in a dinky little to go!

  • Kim N.

    Ive passed this place tons of times. Finally made it in as most places were closed in the area. Fairly highly rated but taking a random strip mall corner. Crab noodles, Tom Khar, and roast duck curry made our lunch. Shrimp in to, khar were perfect and the noodles were solid. Duck in the curry was overcooked however. Id say 2.5/3 aint bad. Surprising for a very unassuming place

  • Lee N.

    This place would probably do so much better if the service wasn't so bad. The lady who I'm pretty sure is the owner is so rude - went to get takeout today and we waited 45 minutes for our (soup and pad Thai) to be made. Prior to ordering we were not warned that it would take that long. I don't see why it took that long because the restaurant only had 4 other customers. While waiting there was a couple who sat for 15 minutes waiting for order and finally when they were approached they complained about waiting so long and being ignored when trying to get the attention of a server to order - the lady in a rude tone said "well for the food it's ganna be another 30 minutes even if you order now" WHAT??? Who says that to a customer !? When we got home and opened our takeout the soup was spilled everywhere because it was not packed properly. Never coming back again!

  • Prachi S.

    What happened to this place? We were regulars here, but today's takeout leaves a lot to be desired. The food was bland, over cooked and where did the spice go? Spicy fried rice tasted boiled, Rama chicken had blanched spinach plopped in center ....I could go on but not feeling like reminding myself of the experience. Bottom line, one star for writing a review, and one star for freebie Thai iced tea...not returning.... :(

  • Linda P.

    Really rude customer service. When we asked about questions concerning the menu, the lady who got our order was not being helpful. She gave us an attitude. The portions were really small for a large Tom yum soup we ordered. It was more sour than spicy.The papaya salad was not good. Pad Thai and mango tango were pretty good. Overall, food is delicious but customer service was terrible!

    Nai and his wife Heidi have the most humble attitudes and their menu is unbelievable. I have been eating here for 5 years now and I ask them to cater out for dinner parties and my birthday parties. I love their roti dish, chicken satay, yellow curry with chicken medium add bell peppers, jasmine rice and pleasing garlic chicken... YUMMY

    A really nice find here in South Bay especially right here in the trendy Santa Row area. If it wasn't my local friend introducing me to this restaurant I doubt I would have found it. The place itself is pretty small and not much decoration inside as well. Definitely very localized and hole in the wall feel. I feel its because of the food people come here rather than the atmosphere. I was quite impressed with the food as its definitely one of the better Thai food places I've visited. Definitely recommend it if you're a thai food fan like me. Service was really fast since I visited on a weekday night and the place was only about 4-5 tables full. Great way to walk around to enjoy Santana streets after a full and fulfilling dinner :-)

  • Jenny W.

    It is a tiny, vague area compared to the nearby shops on Santana Row, but it is quite a jewel. I get pad thai and generally play it safe at Thai places, so I've had more than my fair share of it. The pad thai here is one of the finest that I have ever had, and also the portions are extremely ample. Upgrade: I came back and got the green curry. It was the finest I have ever had!

    While we usually spring for Vietnamese, Ramen or Korean in the San Jose area, the group consensus was to seek out a decent Thai restaurant for dinner after flying in to SJC. Siam seemed to be the yelp favorite in the vicinity. It was crowded, but we were seated within about 10 minutes. The restaurant is small and unpretentious, ample parking in the back and a welcomed glimmer of authenticity in the shadows of the corporate Santana Row across the street. Service: Fair...While the food came out hot, it was not all at once. In fact, the first dish came out maybe 10 minutes before the fourth! If we had a lazy suzanne and some folks willing to share at the table, this wouldn't have bothered me. Food: Good...but not great. I got "Crying Tiger" BBQ'd beef which was served with a Northern Thai hot sauce (or so it was labeled). Nice flavor and amazing brown rice for pairing. I have no comparison point in the area for Thai food...but I can say that I've been to some more memorable places in LA's Thai Town and even on the central coast.

    If you are craving ridiculously amazing Thai food, look no further. This is a small restaurant so there was quite a wait for a table for 3 on a Friday night but it was totally worth it. We ordered pad thai, drunken noodles, and green curry with fish. They were all DELICIOUS but I think my favorite was the green curry. There was sooo much flavor. The fish was cooked perfectly and they did not skimp on the vegetables- the eggplant was fantastic and went really well with the fish. The noodles were delicious as well and full of flavor. Service was great and super friendly, check this awesome place out if you haven't been here yet.

    I usually have lunch with friends here. Today I had a really bad experience; we ordered thai iced coffee that I usually order it with my lunch or dinner before. Today it tasted really bad and I told them. They came out and said it was ok. You know I was like wtf. They did not even say sorry to me. At the end, after we paid, they kept telling us the coffee was just fine. I swear, if she is ok with it, I will buy her that and ask her drink the whole cup for me. Bad service today ever !!!

    I came here for lunch on Sunday afternoon and Siam Fine was packed! Luckily, we didn't have to wait long because the owner allowed us to sit at a table where he had set up a few Buddhist offerings. So nice of him :). We got the Green Papaya Salad to start and couldn't help but compare it to the one we had at Bai Tong in Saratoga. Bai Tong's was a bit more delicate and refined, maybe due to fresher or more thinly cut green papaya and green beans. The Tom Khar satisfied my craving for Tom Yum and I didn't regret trying something new! I enjoyed the creamier coconut soup broth and was glad it still had the sweet and sour aspects of Tom Yum Soup. The Seafood version is well worth the extra few dollars - they load up on fresh scallops, mussels, shrimp and calamari. This is my personal preference, but I find fried or pan fried tofu to hold up best in noodle dishes. Other than the bland and texturally lacking tofu, I enjoyed their Pad Thai.

  • Jeanie L.

    RESTAURANT NAME CHANGE IN ORDER... Instead of Siam Fine Thai Cuisine, it should aptly be renamed to, Siam FAST Thai Cuisine. I was so excited to take my Fiancé here one night, as it had been a while since I last dined at this establishment. I recall it being less expensive than the other popular Thai restaurant around the corner and just as good. To my saddened surprise, I found that their prices had risen and the quality of their food and preparation went drastically downward. What we ordered and what went AWRY: * Thai Iced Tea ~ The tea was watered down a bit and did not possess the deep, orange color and bold Ceylon tea flavor that is characteristic of this tea. * Angel Wings Appetizer ~ As this dish arrived, I couldn't help but widen my eyes as to the very large size of these wings! I doubt that this was a dinosaur-sized chicken or that they were injected with an extra dose of growth hormones (GMOs). We discovered that they were just excessively battered; one quarter to half an inch of batter is just too much of a breaded "filler". In this case, bigger is not always better. * Pineapple Fried Rice ~ This dish was mediocre in both taste and appearance. It lacked the flavor and luster of other much better prepared pineapple rice dishes we've enjoyed elsewhere. * Drunken Beef Noodles ~ When both the rice and noodle dishes arrived, something just didn't feel right. It wasn't immediately apparent, however, once we took a bite of the meats in the dishes, we immediately knew. Besides the fact that these dishes did not arrive piping hot, the meats were cold! Because the chefs were trying to cut their preparation time, they had pre-cooked the meats in advance, throwing them into a pan with other ingredients to reheat. Promptness weighs heavily in the restaurant business, but certainly not at the price of diminishing the quality of the food served.

    Great lunch specials. Good food. I had pad thai and it was really good. Came with simple tasty soup, lame salad(but whatever), and egg roll that was just a nice crunch factor. Thai iced tea was okay. Very small place, service is okay. Weird location, but I like their lunch special. I want to try the catfish next time

  • Norman S.

    Decent place for Thai food. We usually hit this place if we're in the neighborhood and hankering for some Thai. Highlights: - Rad na - stir fried flat rice noodles in a thick and slightly tangy sauce. Garnished with broccoli, slices of chicken and carrots. Tasty dish but the sauce can get a bit gooey. They thicken it with tapioca starch. - Crab fried rice - GF's favorite. Slightly salty but they're generous with the shredded crab. Filled with sliced onions and cucumber. - Service is usually prompt Lowlights: - Small place so getting a table for lunch on weekends can be hard. - Small parking lot and underground garage means parking can be a bear. - Location close to Santana Row and Valley Fair mall = crappy traffic on weekends.

    This small but popular restaurant is located close to a very happening area of San Jose. During rush, there are usually hungry bodies lined up outside and for good reason. This place is offers delicious Thai food at a reasonable price. The food is very consistent and the staff friendly enough. I recommend the coconut soup, green curry with sea bass and the pad Thai, though it's all pretty great.

    Waitress was extremely rude!! We had a party of 3 but one wasn't eating & she had attitude about it / then told us we should get food to go so we wouldn't take up whole table. So we waited outside in the cold while others who came after us got their food first! Food itself was not bad but the whole attitude of the place was a real turn off. The water cups were dirty too!!!

    I guess for South Bay this can be considered some good Thai food. It's more like a 3.5 stars for me. We ordered roti, chicken satay, crab noodles, thai ice tea, and thai coffee. Roti was good, chicken satay was alright a little dry and the sauce was lacking some flavor, crab noodles was good, thai tea was good but the Thai coffee was a bit watered down. Overall nothing amazing but better than most Thai places in the South Bay.

    I've been here three times since moving to San Jose, and have thoroughly enjoyed each visit (for all its worth and the price, it's a great deal!). Located on the corner of a funny intersection in front of a Westfield and next to Santana Row, the restaurant is on the smaller side with some offerings of outdoor seating. Now onto the food... FOOD ====== Every visit I've had the Tom Yum Soup (hot pot sized). The hot pot option comes out in a metal bowl (shaped like a donut and with a stand/legs) with a burner under it, and serves about 8 bowls. The bowls are small, but it's still a lot. Now, I'm not going to deny that I suspect the soup has lots of fish sauce and sugar in it, but it is still good. It could be a little more sour, but you still get the lemon grass flavor in it, and a bunch of mushrooms (brown mushrooms) with it. I always order the Spicy option, and it is plenty spicy (now if only they could provide a towel with that option...). Will continue to have it until I'm tired of it (not anytime soon). My first visit, my party shared a bunch of curries (panang, green, and red), and were all pleased. Nothing special, but definitely not bland or flavorless. My second and third visits, my party had pad thai and pad see ew noodles (and of course tom yum soup). My girlfriend and I are especially fond of the pad thai here. The pad thai comes in a large serving and is very well flavored (not too salty, noticeably sweet and peanut-y, yet maintaining a savory foundation), and is plated with vegetables (shredded cabbage and carrots), crushed peanuts, and slices of lime on the side. I appreciate that everything is separate for the customer to mix in themselves. The pad see ew noodles were good, but we like the pad thai more. For drinks, we enjoy both the thai iced coffee and teas. Sweet, cold, and seemingly fresh, they are what we think a good $3 drink. Personally, since we also like vietnamese ice coffee and coffee in general, the thai iced coffee could be stronger and a bit more bitter. Still, when we want to splurge we'll have it. SERVICE & SETTING ================== I think service is good here. Twice I've been here at 11am, opening, on a Sunday, and have been welcomed in before they are fully set up, which I appreciate as it says to us 'you don't have to stand around outside, come in while we get ready.' We were early anyways. The other time we came in the afternoon on a Saturday. We had to wait a bit (parking kind of sucks if you have to go underground--the ramp down is narrow and somewhat steep), but being a small restaurant after you get seated service is fine. Setting is very casual. With lots of glass and being on the corner of an intersection, the restaurant is very bright and gets lots of light. No fancy napkins or anything. Tables are set with a plate, paper napkin and flatware. Often, we don't end up using the plate. CONCLUSION ============ I really do want to give this place five stars, but on my first visit I ordered calamari and it was served cold =( Certainly not fresh, or if it was, it cooled down suspiciously quickly. Unacceptable in my book, but it did not give me stomach problems. Will be back for more tom yum soup and pad thai, thai iced tea, coffee, and some curry. My go to place in San Jose for Thai food. Better than all the thai places in Berkeley (Racha, Thai Noodle 1&2, Thai House, Lucky Star, Thai Delight, Cha-am).

    Really spicy food at medium level. I have weak spice tolerance. Their curry medium spice level is hot spice level for me. If you love spicy Thai curry, then I recommend Siam Fine Thai. The restaurant is small. Come early. There is a long waiting list during busy hours. My negative part of my review is their curry dishes can have more rice portions.

    This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the South Bay. The food is delicious, savory and always hits the spot. I enjoy the Hawaiian pineapple fried rice (medium spicy) and the pad kee mao. The food is consistent and does not disappoint. The only thing that sucks is the location is small, little to no parking and when you try to leave and get back onto Stevens creek (busy street during weekends).

    love this place. across the mall. Get the pad Thai, Tom yum soup and the shaking beef! Those are the best dishes!!

    The food here is good and has some unique flavors not traditionally found in Thai food. Some dishes are saltier and a bit too on much on the sweet side for my liking, but that's more a matter of personal preference. It hasn't affected my husband's ability to swill the pad thai. What does bother me is that there is never enough space available for us to eat in. There's only about 5 tables or so in the place. I'm stuck ordering here only when I want takeout.

    Disappointed to give this place 2 stars It was my first time here with my parents and I was SO EXCITED for some Thai! So we ordered some calamari, chicken yellow curry, seafood combination padthai, white, and brown rice. We got our food and the portions seemed a bit small at first, but it did the job and got us full! I loved it and would've given this place 5 stars......if we wouldn't have had happened to find a bit of STEEL WOOL in a bite of my mom's curry She spit it out and our waiter heard the commotion at our table. They probably prep where they clean. I mean, you clean pans with steel wool! Yes, at least they scrub hard enough for bits to fall out, but to find a piece of it in the curry was disappointing. We also parked behind the restaurant and since their back door was open, had a peek in their kitchen and it was slightly unclean. My mom was disgusted about the steel wool, but our waiter apologized and was kind enough to knock the curry off our bill. Still ended up to be a bit pricey at $38 for what we got, minus the curry. Still doesn't neutralize the fact that they're unsanitary!

    I ate here after reading high rating reviews from Yelp. Unfortunately, my experience was not as outstanding as the other Yelp reviewers. We ordered Tom Yum Soup, 1 Crying Tiger and 1 Crab Noodle dish. Spice levels requested was medium for the soup and spicy for the noodles. All 3 items were too sweet and I couldn't taste any of the spiciness or complex flavors expected from regular Thai food. Thai food is supposed to be about texture, flavor of every ingredient combined with the sweet, sour and spicy, but I didn't get anything other than sweet. I'm giving the food just 2 star rating, mainly because of the large portions and the good service provided by the nice ladies working there. Conclusion: Either the posters were serious sugar addicts or maybe it just wasn't a good day in the kitchen..

    Behind the restaurant is a pretty spacious parking lot, so plus for that!! And if you want to visit Valley Fair/Santana Row right across the street, you have found your parking. A small but well kept restaurant, the food came out really fast. Me and my friend ordered the summer rolls which was delish with the peanut sauce. I ordered the chicken panang curry (hot) with a side of white rice. The curry was not spicy at all so that was disappointing because I love spicy food, BUT the curry was so RICE and CREAMY, it was simply delicious!! I was so surprised there was so much flavor bursting from it. I wolfed it down and had a smile at the end of my meal. Great great flavor and the portions were just right. I was very satisfied with my experience here.

    I think this might just be my new favorite Thai restaurant. The restaurant is very small and in a little complex across from Valley Fair. Traffic is pretty bad around this area, but don't let it deter you. There's a small parking lot out back. My partner and I ordered our standard red curry and pad Thai to see how they compared to other restaurants. This place definitely delivered. The food wasn't overly sweet and had a good balance of spices. Proportions were good and service was friendly.

    I came here with my mom and brother for dinner. I'm used to my favorite Thai restaurant in the peninsula but I decided to give this place a chance. We had the green curry, eggplant and basil, beef drunken noodles and Tom Yum with prawns soup. We liked every dish. So very yummy. Definitely my new favorite thai place in the South Bay!

  • Suzanne T.

    I've eaten at this place a couple of times within the past few years. Although I was initially a fan, the quality has slowly gone down. My visit here last week was average. So average in fact that I honestly can't even remember much of the food. I just remember feeling disappointed. We got the pineapple friend rice and beef or chicken eggplant. The pineapple fried rice lack flavor and the pineapples were not cooked enough to be caramelized and sweet. To be fair, I don't think the pineapple was even ripe to begin with. I can't remember much about the eggplant dish. It didn't stand out.

  • Mykl R.

    My favoritest of FAVORITES Thai Food restaurants! I am not even from San Jose, but every time I am up there (at least once a month) I beg my boyfriend to take me there at least once before my trek back to San Diego. Their spicy thai drunken noodles are theeeee best. It is always my go to and I will never not get this dish. Also, one of the best Tom Yum soups ever! They tend to go spicy on 1-10 scale, just keep that in mind when you are ordering. I love this cute little place! (And I do mean little, get there early...there is only 7-8 tables).

    This is by far the best Thai food that I have ever had...and I eat a LOT of Thai food! Excellent food and great service! The restaurant itself is small, but well worth stopping by to eat. It's definitely a hidden treasure :)

    Went to lunch here with my mom and brother. We usually going to Krung Thai down the street, but we decided to try something new. I'm glad we did as this might just be my new spot for Thai. Yellow curry was fantastic. Started off with great spice and flavor. Yellow curry normally has a pretty mild flavor cause of the coconut. I would recommend stirring the curry when you first get it as the spices seem to be concentrated on top and it got really "coconut milk"-y at the end. The Pad Thai was good. Best part was that it wasn't oily or heavy. It was refreshing. My only critique is that I wish there were more nuts for some more crunch. The pleasing garlic beef was fantastic. Lemongrass and garlic flavors really came through. Watch out because it might be salty for some people. The broccoli is served basically raw, so it gives it some texture, but it overpowers the beef if eaten together. The only disappointment was the roti and coconut ice cream. The fried roti was heavy and oily. The coconut ice cream tasted really artificial. The whip cream and maraschino cherry didn't help matters. I'll just refrain from dessert in the future. I will definitely be coming back here in the future

  • Janice G.

    Food was delicious, the main dishes were generously sized, as well as the appetizers. Chicken satay appetizer had at least 6 skewers, and the peanut sauce dip looked homemade. The Roti Curry appetizer was not bad, as you can select the type of curry you want as the dip. The Pad Thai noodle dish was most generous in serving size. Noodles were a little dry, flavor mostly sweet, but there was plenty of meat spread among the dish. Overall, the food tasted fresh and had enough flavor to carry it through the palate.

  • Michael W.

    Short Story: An overall okay place to go for Thai near Santana Row and Valley Fair Mall. Long Story: I have been here several times in the past few years and this place has gotten better in the past year. I usually come here for lunch and their lunch menu is decently priced with sizable portions. In addition, there are lots of choices. The service here is really decent. Though at times it can be a long wait for food...it does get really busy. The decor and ambiance are okay. It's a small place so you can't expect much. All in all...it's decent. Verdict: I'll be back.

    Great place to eat, food is delicious but oooh man we came on a bad day. Came in on Labor Day and this place was jam packed. We've come before, know its small and expected a wait and longer service because of the holiday but this one may sting a little. Seating took 10 minutes ( not bad), service took about 10 minutes, our order was taken after 15 minutes of waiting and first course came out about 10 minutes after that ... thats 35 minutes of sitting/waiting with no food... They were definitely understaffed today, our first soup course came out and the bowls were dirty, we ordered the papaya salad and there was a hair in it... *ergh* The food is good here, and coming on any normal day has proved that their service and food quality is good, but today both suffered. I really wish it turned out better since they're capable of it, but i'll have to revisit this review on another occasion.

    Not bad Thai food ... Just not consistent some nights pad Thai taste descent ... Other nights not so..... too sweet and just not the right flavors makes me miss Thailand... Chicken wings are worth trying, my husband had the salmon it's alright, tom yum soup is close to perfect not too much MSG. Drunken noodles are the highlight of this place love them!

    This is definitely my new favorite Thai place! Prompt friendly service , delicious Thai ice tea, and super yummy eats at a great price! What more could you ask for? Parking wasn't an issue even on a busy Friday night , we only waited maybe 15 minutes for a table but it was such a nice night we didn't mind. Will return for sure! Thanks for a great date night Siam fine Thai cuisine!

  • Meg T.

    Four words. Fantastic food. Strange atmosphere. On a yelp recommendation and a poor experience at Blue Mango the honey and I dropped into Siam to try out their cuisine. Siam is small. Think I've had bedrooms that are bigger than their seating area, small. That being said, their service was spot on and their food, mouthwatering. I so rarely have fantastic coconut soup now that I no longer live in SF near Basil Thai. But Siam's was so flavorful and filling. The hon and I split a crab noodle and chowed the heck down. Devouring every bite on the table. Our tea was fantastic (though came a tad late to the party) and the cucumber salad was incredibly tasty. We will be dropping by again, hopefully not while a group of 14 (who I was curious if they had been to the restaurant prior) has reserved half the space. Yum!

  • Birdy H.

    Decent lunch place. Place is clean and nicely decorated. The lunch prices aren't bad and the food quality is good. I usually get either the Panang curry or the Red curry. Both good and can be made extra spicy. I would STAY AWAY from the fresh spring rolls. Too much vegetables and the sauce is not my favorite. Staff is nice and friendly. Refills water reguraly and yes, they speak english!

  • Thi Q.

    Just recently moved back to the area after living 2 years in hell AKA Texas, I was looking forward to having real Thai food. We ordered take out since we didn't feel like dining in, we got 2 orders of Chicken Pad Thai One medium and one not spicy 1 Crying Tiger (marinated steak with an awesome dipping sauce.) 1 Seafood Green Curry Thai hot 1 steamed rice The Pad Thai was delicious but where was the chicken?! Out of both orders there was about 8 small pieces of chicken. The Crying Tiger was absolutely delicious. I'm talking about it's so good you wanna smack your mama delicious. The Seafood Green Curry.... this stuff used to haunt my dreams in Texas since the Thai food there was non existent. When I got home and opened up the container my heart dropped... the container was barely half full. I paid $15 for some Seafood Green Curry (plus $1.50 for steamed rice) and the container is barely half way full?! At least make the container 75% full with curry. It was just as delicious as I remembered, loaded with seafood and veggies but there wasn't enough curry. I just can't get over paying $15 and not having a nice full container of curry. It saddens me to write this review because I loved this place but why do you have to be stingy and skimp on the portions?!

  • Riyaa ..

    I prefer not go there as we ordered soup, while eating v noticed a small worm in soup v intimated the guy who is servicing over there said that they forgot to wash broccoli so it happened. He not even felt sorry for that , I don't know how can they serve such uncleaned food. It's a small place so unclean that they not even have restroom access as its back to kitchen.please don't even go there.I don't feel that he felt sorry for us and he just said sorry for ur kind information he not even said us sorry "several times".If v not had soup how can u charge us!!!!!!! I am not blaming the person who served us I dnt know his name too it's just about restaurant not about the person

    Went there for a casual dinner with few friends. We dinned in, and got seated within 15 mins (had to wait for a table). Place is pretty small, only a few tables. A lot of take out orders. Service: 5/5 Not expecting much from a casual place like this, waitress is tentative enough. Food: 5/5 For the price, i have nothing bad to say about the food. One of the better Thai food places to go to. I had the Drunken Noodle,and the girlfriend had the Penang Curry. Both are excellent. Portions are good, enough to fill me up without over-stuffing my face.

  • Nick K.

    3 stars with explanation. Great food. High quality. No doubt. But I am all about my trademarked price-to-fullness ratio. This place is on the low end of that spectrum. It is great Thai food, but I should not have to pay nearly $15 for two scoops of rice and 6-8 oz green curry chicken. Nonetheless the service is good and I enjoy that they use quality, fresh ingredients. While the food itself was of 4 star quality....the price and quantity of food served here nets a lesser rating. I know, I have high standards. Zagat - call me, I'm waiting.

    I've been coming here for about a year or two now (thanks to my best friend) and this is probably my favorite Thai place ever! I've even been to the U.S's #1 Thai place down in Las Vegas, and while I did love that place, I think Siam Fine Thai is just as good if not better. I usually go around lunch time and get their lunch special/deal thing. I love getting their yellow curry and See-Eww(?) noodle.

  • Neha H.

    Chicken drunken noodle was outstanding. I had high expectations from Trout choo chee, but it was way too dry. The mushroom sauce with it was yummy, I ended up finishing my rice with the curry. Medium spicy was just enough spice for my taste buds.

  • Surya A.

    Authentic Food with excellent taste. We have tried other thai food and this is one of our top choice. Service is good and the workers are courteous. During peak hours, you have to patient to get a quality food. Soup is our favorite and we couldn't find anywhere comparable to this.

  • Herman P.

    Tried this place out tonight because of the great reviews and didn't think the food was anywhere near the quality of other Thai restaurants in the Bay Area. I ordered the Roti Curry, Pad See Ew, and Chicken Panang. The only dish that was mediocre was the Chicken Panang, the rest were not any good. Food tasted too bland to be categorized as Thai cuisine. Lastly, the waitress packed some chili paste that was not secured or bagged and all of it opened and spilled on the ride back home.

  • Helen W.

    1. Too crowd. (The frying tables/stove tops are legit behind this wall) When it's packed there's like a 30 min wait time. Needs a bigger location. 2. Waitresses leave you in mid sentence :/ Rude! 3. Good food. Different level of hotness. Ask before ordering. The $3 Thai teas are not bad too! Hope this helps someone! Oh yea, all the locals got Take Out..smart move!

    WHY WE WENT HERE: - seeing other Yelp friends check-ins here made me feel it was worth checking out THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - my friend and I got lost! But then realized it was super easy to miss because it's located on a really busy area on Stevens Creek, right across from Valley Fair - parking is in the back or on the street, but limited THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - small - clean - lots of natural light WHAT WE ORDERED: - Roti with Panang Curry - Thai Tea - Chicken Pad Thai - Tofu Egg Plant - Sticky Rice THE TASTE: - everything was splendid - the sticky rice was more like dry rice unfortunately THE SERVICE: - polite - prompt - professional

  • Veronica B.

    This is the go-to place for lunch if you've got a hankering for Thai. The food here is well-portioned, inexpensive, FAST turn-around, and fresh. With your ~$10-11 meal you get soup, salad, a small egg-roll, rice and an entree dish ranging from curry or stir-fry. The folks who work here are super friendly and efficient. Oh, if you see a plate of food chillin' outside the door, please don't nibble or touch since it's an offering for the ancestors. :)

    Yaaay!! My new Thai place in San Jose, this place is nestled in the corner kinda hard to find and the wait can get annoying. But I assure you it's all worth it! :) We got the Green Chicken Curry and Crab Fried Rice! Oh it was sooo good just the perfect amount of spiciness! I'll deff be back next time im in San Jose! And the service is great too! We came on a busy night (Saturday) line was out the door and still we were never rushed by the waiters to leave once we were done eating ! Deff a star there!

    Siam is easily my favorite Thai restaurant. I used to frequent Thai Pepper back in the day, but apparently some of the workers left and started this place, so I started to frequent this place instead. They have the best Tom Yum soup I've ever tasted. There is seriously no competition and I highly recommend trying it with prawns or seafood. Their service is friendly and very attentive, so you'll see a lot of repeat customers here. While Siam might have a small location with not that much seating, my family and I will still come here every time we want quality Thai food and especially when we crave Tom Yum. Shout out to the green curry here as well.

  • Jury C.

    Awful experience! They served uncooked pad Thai noodles and dry Thai BBQ chicken. Then the owner/server lady had the audacity to say we can't return the food. I never write bad reviews but this restaurant is just terrible. Don't eat here!

  • Haley L.

    I gave this place four stars for the following reasons: Food: I love the food. The pad-see-ew was very good as well as the green curry chicken. All of the food is very flavorful and has a kick to it. I think this is one of the best thai places I've eaten at. Service: The waiters are very friendly and quick to help. Cleanliness: The dining area of the restaurant is very clean and tidy, but leading to the bathroom, it's not really. The bathroom is in the kitchen, and it's really small. I noticed some flies around, and I hope they aren't finding their way into our food. Overall, I like this place a lot. It could be cleaner, but overall, it was good.

    Great food... Been to Thailand 4 times, really really close. The only thing that bothers me is that the kitchen seems to be not very clean. Got a plate with the insect stuck at the bottom... Well because I've been to Thailand it kinda reminded the street food there... Would be great if the owners improve this ...

  • Tiffany L.

    Based on the reviews, my friend and I decided to try this neat hole in the wall place (on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch) Definitely one of the better thai food places I've been to and will come back! Yellow curry chicken was FABULOUS! The best I've tried at any thai place. this was $10.95 + $2 rice (it's not part of the entree :/) Pork pad thai was also delicious! Very flavorful and good portion @ $9.95. Coming in on M-F lunch time would be a better choice for their lunch special under $9 :) -1 star because it's quite small and little decor :(

  • Monica F.

    Score! 15% discount every Tues and Wed dinners! My girl friend, brother and I had been coming here for quite some time now. And not once did we ever have a disappointing order. The staff here is really friendly and the orders are quick. The place is never empty, and maybe out of luck; there's always an available table for us every time we come here. The place is off of busy Stevens Creek. I would definitely cross the street from Valleyfair just to eat something as authentic as this; as after dinner walks from this place is a really good idea, because it's a given that you'll be tummy heavy after. However parking is not a problem on weeknights. The parking area is at the back of the building. I've tried several items on the menu... Roti with Yellow Curry: I loooved this. Totally addicting. Once you pop, you can't stop. It's not oily as the ones I've tried before. and the Curry sauce is not too overpowering in scent and flavor. So, pretty good balance on this one. Tom Yum Soup w/ Shrimp: Delightful taste, and really perfect for the cold weather. There was an abundance of mushrooms..and maybe 5 decent-sized pieces of deveined shrimp. I prefer the soup a little hotter than how it was served to us, but that's just me. My friend says it was okay for her. The small serving is good for 2 or 3 people, unless everybody wants 2 rounds of soup. Crab Fried Rice: Oh yeah. Really a must try for the crab lovers. I can come here and just order this and I'm all good. They use real crab; so the flavor is oozing to perfection. (boo to imitation crab) Drunken Noodles with Beef: The noodles' texture is great. It's very flavorful and as the name of the dish says, Drunk. Chewy Soft Noodles that burst all the saucy flavor in your mouth. Definitely recommended. Pad Thai with Seafood Combination: One of the best Pad thai's I've every tried. Note: I'm not a fan of Pad Thai, but I could not have enough of this when i tried it. They're really generous with the seafood items on this dish. I'll definitely go back to this place. Maybe next time, we'll have enough room for dessert.

    Poor service, but great food! We had the pad see ew, garlic chicken and broccoli, and pad thai. The pad see ew had a great ratio of chicken in it and I loved every bite. The pad thai was also delicious, but nothing special. Because it is such a tiny restaurant, there is only one server taking care of everyone. It took her a long to get us waters and to take our orders, but once we placed our order, the food came out fast. This is a great hidden gem right off of Santana Row. The difference of going one block off the Row is crazy! There were a lot of people waiting around by the entrance for their take out, which made it seem even more crowded. I love the convenience of this restaurant as well as the prices. My roommate had the super sweet, orange-colored iced tea and really enjoyed it. After trying it, I don't think I would ever order it. I can't wait to go back and try some of their curries!

  • Christine N.

    Why does it say they're open at 11 AM when it looks like the staff just came through the door at that time? We waited 35 minutes for our food. Can you imagine if you were on your lunch break? Don't get me wrong, I like the food here. Drunken noodles is better here than at other Thai places. Pad Thai is decent too. My only gripe is that we waited so long and we were the first and only ones there. PLEASE have your kitchen up and running already so that if customers come in when you say you're open, you'll be ready to serve them. Valentine's lunch ruined!

    The food at this place is authentic and the taste is just awesome! The portions are are huge so you won't feel like your being ripped off. Also, the customer service is excellent. It might be a little difficult finding the place though since it's tucked in the corner across the Bank of America. I suggest turning on the GPS on your iPhone and you should be good.

    This was only my second time having Thai food and it was wonderful. I met my sister there for dinner. I sat down and was immediately brought a menu and some water (very friendly). My sister arrived and we ordered yellow curry (with tofu and scallops) and hawaiian fried rice. Their sweet Thai ice tea was also very refreshing and tasty :) Everything was very good, I'm definitely coming back again!

  • Stine H.

    I always try to make a trip for lunch or dinner here whenever I'm back in the southbay. A few things I've learned is: don't order things with coconut milk here unless you really love that heavy thick coconut taste and flavor. I'm not sure why it is like that here, but their curry and coconut soups are very THICK with coconut milk which is not my thang. Other mentionables: DO order the basil wings, soft shell crab with green beans and green mango salad. The past few times I've ordered medium and was very happy that it was ACTUALLY medium and not mild. I might even say it was a bit spicy and my spice taste buds are pretty much non-existant. (thumbs up) You might notice that all their flavors seem very similar, but the variety from the dishes listed above are actually really different. The basil wings and soft shell crab almost look like they're in the same sauce, but the basil wings have a stickier and sweeter sauce whereas the soft shell crab is more liquidy and garlic-y. The mango salad has a great balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. The mango isn't that raw (or green), but they're not sweet as they would be if it were ripe. There is also lettuce and red onions and 4 prawns! None of that skimpy dried shrimp stuff. I've also ordered take out and it's just as good. They separated the soft shell crab and sauce/green beans which allowed the crab to stay nice and crispy. Seating in here is very limited, but do not fret! I've never had to wait very long to get seated. Yum!

  • Julie L.

    Decent Thai food. We ordered the Pad See Eiu and the Som Tam (Papaya Salad), with Thai iced tea. Pad See Eiu: Other than having wide noodles, I didn't see how the pad see eiu here really matched the flavoring & look of real Pad See Eiu. It's good, but I don't think it's "Pad See Eiu." Som Tam: This was good!! I could peak into the kitchen and see that they were preparing it the correct way (wooden bowl and pestle and all!), and the flavoring was pretty good. Get medium spicey if you think you can handle it. If not, go for mild! :) Thai Iced Tea: nice and sweet, good! * Tip: This place is pretty small, and many shoppers from the nearby malls seem to come here, so don't be bummed if you have to wait, a bit, for seating!

  • Julie Z.

    Service is meh (2-3 stars) and the food is decent (3.5 - 4 stars). There were several empty tables, but we still had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. The mango salad was very good --loaded with prawns and mango and bursting with flavor. Don't order the pineapple fried rice--they used canned pineapple and there was way too much soy sauce as the rice came out brownish looking. There was a beef stir-fry dish we ordered that was good and a seafood green curry that was good. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but if I did come back I would definitely order the mango salad.

    I'm from the Chicago suburbs. We used to have a hole in the wall mom and pop thai place that everyone in the surrounding area went to for great Thai food. Unfortunately, it closed down. So when I was visiting California and my boyfriend suggested this place from experience, I decided to give it a try. I must say, too bad they don't have this place in Chicago. This restaurant is an exact replica of the one that closed down in Chicago. Their food is awesome! Since I'm a Thai food lover, I always get their Basil Fried Rice (also known as Spicy thai fired rice), their Panang or Red Curry with Tofu and their Pad-Kee-Maw. Keep in mind, if you don't want it too spicy order it mild. If you like a kick, but not too much, order it medium. Out of their entire beverage menu, we picked their ginger tea...which is also amazing, since we both love teas. Generally, from what I've encountered, all restaurants like this require you to walk through the kitchen to use their restroom. On a positive note, you can clearly see what and how they are cooking. All these other reviews are great, but they are also biased. The person needs to try it personally and find out the whether or not they like the food. The old saying, don't judge a book by it's cover hold true to this restaurant.

    My friend took me here to eat because he said it's his favorite Thai place, EVER. So I trusted that it would be good. We ordered a green curry and medium spicy pad thai. The green curry really surprised me. I'm not usually a fan of curry but their green curry (which looked totally weird because its green) is super delicious with just the right amount of spiciness! You have to try it if you go to this place. I swear you won't regret it. On the other hand, the pad thai was alright. Nothing special. I've had many better ones. Their service was super awesome. Very fast and on point. Four stars because my friend loves them and for the curry.

    Good yelp recommendation. Came here around 1:30 pm and there were people still there. All lunch orders come with salad, soup, egg roll, and jasmine rice. there were many items to choose from such as pad thai, green curry, pad see ew. the normal proteins (chicken, beef, pork, tofu) cost $7.95 and seafood is $8.95. the soup was somewhat salty. the salad was decent and the egg roll was kinda hard to bite. the green chicken curry was very flavorful and had a good amount of egg plant, chicken and bell peppers. the pad thai was pretty big, but i dont know if that's because i am comparing to my friend who is very small. pros: nice waitress, good for casual lunch, good lunch specials, good food. cons: small place

    My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVE this place! We've tried many different Thai restaurants, and this hands down is our favorite. We go there all of the time. And quite honestly, I wish we went more often. Their Tom Kha soup is AMAZING!!! We always order the Chicken Tom Kha hot pot, the Thai Basil, yellow curry, and pad thai. Can't go wrong! Oh, and don't forget the Thai iced tea.

    5 stars for food. This is OFFICIALLY my favorite Thai food restaurant! It reminded me of the flavors at Thai Basil in Berkeley-- YUM!! The coconut spicy lemon soup was bowl kicking delicious. Initially, when I saw the veggies included regular white/button mushrooms... I was hesitant on how yummy it would be. Boy was I wrong!!! If this place can use simple, inexpensive ingredients and make them taste like heaven, more power to them!! Next! Green curry tofu. I cannot describe it more than by saying it was delectable! Finally, See Ewe tofu. Now this reminded me of my berkeley experiences. It was so ridiculously flavorful and delicious-- I was bent in making this my new favorite Thai spot! Everything had just the right amount of kick, but not overpowering, since we ordered the food "medium" on the spicy scale. Yes, I ate all veggie options because I shared with a vegetarian (boohoo I know). Nonetheless it'd isn't even need meat for it to be sold and delicious ! The reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was because we sort of we're left waiting and not serviced once our food came out. Once we were asked if everything was ok, and then after I didn't even get more water! As I got up to leave the gentleman asked if I wanted more water... I also had to call the waiter to say we were done and needed boxes and the check-- we sat for a good 10 minutes after we were done, thinking they would come. It was certainly not crowded-- Friday at 3pm and about 1-2 other tables. They did apologize for the service and I happily forgive them :) :) I LOVE this place!!

    We went here about a week ago. Really awesome food! We went there a little early at 7 pm and it was easier to find a seat unlike what the situation was for others by the time we were done with our dinner. Their food was simply amazing!! My wife likes Thai food and seafood too so she was thrilled with the salmon in red curry. I loved their cashew chicken. I dont like to eat big chunks of chicken so this dish was good in that regards with medium to small sized chicken pieces. We always take the Thai iced tea where ever we go and it was a little less sweeter than we'd wanted. Overall , I'd go back there again!

  • Michelle W.

    Pretty good, servers are nice, but bathroom location is a :( The 3 of us ordered: - Shrimp fried rolls: similar to fried egg rolls, but with shrimp, quite good - Eggplant Chicken: Chicken was pretty tough and dry, but eggplant was very tasty and had a great basil flavor - Crab noodles: sooo good, they gave us lots of crab - Silver noodle soup: it was good but a bowl, $8, was the same price as an entree and the serving was really small The bathroom is located inside the kitchen, it's co-ed, and doesn't smell good. It's awkward walking into a kitchen to get to the bathroom and seems like a safety hazard because the floor was wet. I'd probably come back if I were in the area, but the prices are a little high for a regular Thai joint.

    I think I shall make this my new favorite Thai place. Small place a few buildings down from SR. Came here on a Sunday night and almost all tables were full. Service was very friendly and attentive. Food was very delicious and for a great price too! Good quantity and quality. Had the Green Curry and the Drunk Noodles- both very very yums! Will be back for sure! Especially if in the area and don't want to wait hour long lines at restaurants in VF or SR.

    Hit this place up before or after stimulating the economy at Santana Row or Valley Fair (sorry, Westfield, it will always be Valley Fair to me). Tiny restaurant with very friendly service and solid Thai standards.

  • Rachel H.

    Yummy! The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the location is not that comfy - small and in a retail center that has things like "cash for gold" - so there's a fair amount of riff raff around. Even tho it is right next to Santana Row. The staff was quick and helpful, the food was delish. We loved the Roti appetizer with panang curry - get that! Also loved the chicken in yellow curry with potatoes and carrots - so good. We had a spicy beef dish with bell peppers that was fair, nothing to rave about. It's clean and prices are great for the quality and portion size you get.

    Disappointing, even after my original lunch plans fell through and I drove around for 30 minutes building up a hefty appetite. My Pad See Ew smelled absolutely amazing but the taste didn't live up. The chicken was pretty dry, as echoed by at least one other review, and the broccoli wasn't cooked to tenderness. The noodles were weirdly gummy, and a little rubbery. And strangely enough, a friend ordered the Red Devil (aka Drunken Noodles) and it came with no spiciness at all. That dish is supposed to be spicy by default, so... The restaurant is quite small, but it never filled up completely during the Tuesday lunch hour. Parking is limited likewise; there's a lot behind the restaurant that serves many businesses that you can try, or you can go for street parking. A last resort is a lot adjacent to the restaurant, but the building it's in front of is deserted and vaguely creepy, so if you decide to park there, you've been warned. Service is friendly and our water glasses were refilled several times. Prices are also very reasonable - $7.95 will get you most dishes on the lunch menu, plus salad and soup on the side, and portion size was a good 1.25 meals for me. (.25 because I eat meals between meals.) Even though I wasn't satisfied with my lunch here, the ravings of Yelpers have me thinking that I might have just tried the wrong dish at the wrong time, and the good service and prices may tip me towards coming back if I'm in town again.

    Our service was really bad. This shop is small, the place is just basically cramped and decorated for necessity and not atmosphere. I asked for tea as my drink, which never arrived. I asked for a cucumber salad with my meal that never arrived. My crab noodle dish was nearly completely lacking any flavor. Every table was full when I was in, but I still think that my experience here was just unacceptable.

    After volunteering in Thailand for three months, I was craving authentic Thai food. I ordered the Nam Tok, Green Curry, and Spicy Basil Friend Rice. AMAZING. Not as quick and cheap as Thai street food but just as tasty and bigger portions than expected. The green curry was a little watery and had way too many eggplants for my personal taste, but not bad. Friend rice is delicious. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Be careful of the chilies that are disguised as bell peppers... Spicy!

  • Tina L.

    The food was okay. The waitress, however, was rude and unpleasant. When we needed something like, lets say more water. She rolled her eyes and gave off an attitude which was sad, because the service was excellent the 1st time my boyfriend and I went. Everything about that day was pretty haggard. Even the drinks took awhile to come out.

    I came here with my fiance for dinner. Luckily we sat down pretty quickly but it took 15mins before we got our drinks, 40 mins before we got our luke warm roti appetizer and super sweet tasting soup. It wasn't until 1 hour and 10mins later that the rest of our meal was served- a pad Thai with crab and yellow curry. Our entrees were even more off tasting--strangely sweet. I had asked for red chilli to be brought to our table. I wanted to temper the flavors but when the server brought me the condiment, I was slightly nauseous seeing a used batch of hot sauce in a small white porcelain cup that had some oily residue pooling in the center and hot sauce drippings along the inside perimeter of the cup. How did this place get above average reviews and remarks that the food is authethentic? I am scratching my head at these comments. The food and service was less than stellar. It was a let down.

    For an area that is teeming with Asians of all sorts of different ethnicities, it is pretty surprising to me that there is a lack of quality Thai food options. But I left my friend in charge of choosing our spot for lunch and she told me that this really (and I mean REALLY) nondescript spot was one of her favorite Thai places in the entire South Bay. And honestly, if she hadn't chosen this place, I would've never bothered trying to come here. It is literally hole-in-the-wall status. Hell, you would probably pass it without noticing if you weren't trying to look for it. But some of my favorite restaurants are places I wouldn't have originally considered, so who am I to judge? Besides, given the long line that started to develop after being seated (and this is lunch), I figured this place must've been somewhat decent enough. Noticed there were some items that you can't really find at your basic, standard fare Thai restaurant (catfish curry, for one), but sometimes you just want to be a little basic heh. Had the fish cake appetizer and beef pad kee mao. You can just tell when the quality is just that little bit better. Plus the fried wonton and extra egg roll on top was definitely a nice touch. And on an overall basis, the lunch specials were reasonably priced. There is a small parking lot in the back, but I would question whether it is sufficient for when this spot gets super busy since it has to cover the entire strip mall. You might have to end up finding some street parking. It is definitely worth the effort it takes to come here though.

    I've been here a handful of times throughout the last few years. I'm happy to say that each time, I left this restaurant a happy & satisfied customer :) Small & hard to find (that's what she said? Lol), but enjoyable. Service was friendly & efficient. If you come here on the weekend for dinner, expect to wait awhile. At least 20-30 minutes, due to the small capacity of the restaurant. There is a dividing wall between the tables & where they cook your food, which gives off a homely feel.

  • Lilian L.

    The coconut soup is really good! ORDER IT! ^I asked the waiter how much a bowl of soup was like because only me and my mother between 3 people wanted to share soup. He said 1 or maybe even 2 people. But, honestly it's like 3 ish (almost) depending if you want a lot of everything from the soup. We got the seafood version. We asked for spicy, but not too spicy.. whatever that meant to him, it was on point! - Pad Thai (Prawn): brother loved it, I thought it wasn't great. Hawaiian rice: kind of flat and boring Panang seafood: okay.. the sauce and the Hawaiian rice paired together well. - Service: kind of slow for an nearly empty place, but I didn't mind, my mom did however.. (service wasn't slow with food, it was just the bill.. kept saying a second, and then a minute)

    The review is based on multiple visit to the place. It's been over the span of 1 year that I been coming to this restaurant when I crave Thai. I have to say, as the visit got frequent the quality of the service and food has been going south. You need to be prepared to be squeezed in, this place is small and maybe has 6 tables the most in the restaurant. When you go in, you have to walk to register and ask for table even the place is not full because the lady is on the phone. Anytime we need something, its never there at the time, its always 5 minutes later and they come to the table and ask what we need or if everything fine... They are not very generous with sides, I had a to-go and dine in where I have asked for chili and hot peppers, they give like tsp size. Its like just one bite and you will be done. Just be prepare to ask for things more often than you should. The lady, who attends to phone in the cash register must be the owner, she is always so quick to take our money and kick us out. The other day was the turning point which I felt like I had to write a review about this place. We were party of 4 and order decent amount of food and drinks. 1. Chicken Satay - good but a little salty 2. Roti with yellow curry - Roti was too oily and burned 3. Papaya salad - very little papaya and lot of green bean. When we got the salad, the papaya looked and tasted like it was sitting outside for days. Not fresh at all, just super soggy - hugh disappointment (definitely better at other places) 4. Sea-bass with green curry - this generally good, but too much egg plants and veggie versus the ratio between sea-bass 5. Pad thai - they must have used a tomato ketchup to soak it in, and stir fry slightly 6. Drunken noodle - barely anything but just broccoli and basil (we order this all the time, totally disappointed the quantity and quality is not there any longer) Well, what can I say, I might need to find some other place out there for my thai experience going forward.

  • Kimberly Y.

    I was pretty excited since Thai food is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, food was average, though plentiful. Noodle dishes seem to be bigger than rice dishes. I ordered pad thai, which was not memorable at all. I only got like 5 pieces of chicken--less than I've ever had at any other Thai places. The chicken satay was bland, but the peanut sauce made up for it! Lunch specials were pretty cheap though, just $9-10 for a small salad, soup, and the entree. My friends really liked the mango sticky rice and the ice cream. The only difference between Siam Fine Thai and other Thai restaurants is that Siam Fine Thai doesn't allow reservations. Pretty small restaurant, but not too full during weekday lunchtime. Service was fine.

  • Richard L.

    Very good prices here and the food is really delicious. I've had roti with curry, crab noodle dish, and pad thai here here and all were really delicious. If you are in the area and craving Thai food (and don't want to eat on Santana Row), you should definitely come here for some food.

    This place is suck. Last time I came here and I paid totally $68 for lunch and tips on my card. However, when I checked bank account, they charged me $70. (I don't have a habit to keep receipts after paying anything). $2 isn't a matter for me. They are not HONEST at all. When you pay here, you must keep your receipt to make sure they take your money correctly. Lol

  • Rachel B.

    If you don't like to get raped, steer clear. I paid nearly 20 for some drunken noodles and some roti. Roti itself was tasty but the dip had a little too much coconut in it for my taste. It ended up tasting like a mustard to me. Drunken noodles were, on first bite, subsatisfactory. As the noodles cooled down they got better, but there was none of this "explosion of flavors" I've read about. I was hoping for strong basil and jalapeno flavors but didn't really get that. I did feel the heat from the dish, but that's about it. You can see the kitchen staff when you walk in and most of the kitchen. I don't want to see that when I eat and I found it disturbing just from running it to grab takeout. I just can't justify spending $20 on this Thai, even if it is a big portion.

  • Jackie H.

    I decided to have an early dinner. I had been craving chicken pad thai so i saw that this place had great reviews so decided to check it out! Well the pad thai wasnt exactly what i had in mind. The place uses clear thin noodles. I ate it anyways trying to enjoy it. The flavor was good and also the spicyness too it! But since they give a lot of food i was already full, i was sitting back and relaxong for a minute... When i noticed a bug crawling on to my plate!! As i looked closer it was a tiny coachroach. I was and am so disgusted! Im sorry i will never be returning there!! The lady was nice enjoy to apologize and not charge me.

    Been here many times, its a casual place, very small, can be crowded easily! Great foods! Fast service! I dont recommend for a big group, no more than 4, since it could be hectic and may be rushed during dinner. I come here whenver i crave for Thai foods, especially Great treat after shopping at Santana Row or Westfield Valley Fair ;) Ah, not to mention, I totally pick this over Krung Thai

    Pretty small place, only about 8 tables inside 2 of which are a table for 2. Roti with yellow curry is the must have appetizer. Got the see ew noodle and sweet and sour prawns with the lunch special which came with a spring roll, soup, salad, and rice (brown rice for $1 more). Lunch specials go from 11-3pm. Good portions, great service. Food came quickly too. They even packed up my leftovers in a to go for me!

    Went in for a lunch. Was complete excited about the number of reviews and the stars. But feels like it's just meh! We ordered lunch combo pad Thai and spicy chicken. Spicy chicken was decent, but the pad Thai was served with glass noodles not the usual ones. And the taste was not upto the mark. The soup served along with the combo was warm not hot! As it was cold we wanted to sit inside but the ventilation wasn't good enough. The place seemed to be filled with cooking fumes and that smell!!. So 3 for the food and -1 for the experience

    A great alternative to the pricey food at the Row. Just a minute's walk away, you can get authentic Thai food :) Tried the Silver Noodle salad - the serving was generous and the grilled prawns are yummy and plentiful as well. The salad was sour but just the way I liked it. Will head back for the Green Curry lots of Yelpers are raving about.

  • Matt S.

    One of my favorite thai restaurants for sure. It's a fairly small restaurant, so you may have to wait a bit during peak hours. I have been here a few times and would recommend the drunken noodles as my favorite dish. The pad thai and mango tango are also solid options. They have ample flavor even I order dishes at zero spicy level because my gf can't take the heat. I enjoyed the sea bass, but the girlfriend was indifferent about it. Quick service, small but clean. Parking is in the back. It's a tad tough to spot from the street, but once you find it you will definitely be back.

  • Samantha C.

    This is a small restaurant located in a small plaza across from Westfield. Food quality is good, but a bit expensive for the portions. Service is extremely fast and friendly. I tried the Mango Shrimp Salad (~$12)- the mangos were super super fresh but there were only four small pieces of shrimp... The dressing was tangy and spicy. Would order again (despite the disappointing portion size). Bf got the Pad Kee Mao (~$12), and again the portion was unimpressive. The sauce was also overwhelmingly sweet and there was just a LOTT of sauce. Would not order again. Overall a good dining experience. I'll have to come back to try the other items!

    Un-fucking-acceptable. Absolutely heinous service. So here is my story: three of us walk in with the place empty and we have to wait fifteen minutes past when we neatly stacked the menus on the edge of the table before a waiter thought about taking our order. Once our order was taken a few people cane in and were seated. Their orders were taken and then we were all waiting. So imagine our surprise when one of the tables behind us are given their food. All of it. After that, one of our groups meals came out. After that a group came in for take away. Then the second table who came in after us got all their food. At this point we are quite confused. Finally our partie's second dish came out. An hour after we ordered our third dish came out.....wrong. So ya. At least the food tasted alright.

  • Linda S.

    The food at this restaurant is still good and I still recommend their food, but I'm taking down a star for their pricing. I don't mind paying more for good food but I thought this was a bit much. I ordered pleasing garlic prawns today. For $12.95, we expected more than 6 pieces of shrimps (yes, shrimps, not prawns - they were small) in the dish. My 2 year old daughter ate 5 of the 6 "prawns". If you're going to charge me $2 more for ordering prawns, at least serve me a more appropriate amount of prawns, instead of adding large pieces of carrots as garnish to make the plate look bigger. Now I know not to order prawns on any of their dishes.

    This is a small place so had to wait in queue for 10 mins before we got seated. The ambience is okie only as there were no proper AC and the heat from the kitchen was direct. Also looked like there was only one person serving the tables so it took time for every table to get their order. After we placed the order, the table next to us made a issue that their order was not taken and they had waited for 20 mins and left immediately. Another girl from the table behind us also left the same time warning us "careful their food is dirty. Check if they have clean plates!!". We got our dishes - Chicken Satay, Calamari Pacific, and three rice dishes. It all tasted good. The peanut sauce and salad very very nice. As we were having our food, I found HAIR in the Hawaiian Fried Rice!! And there was a big house fly in our table trying to get to all the dishes. Then realized the other girl was so true. We paid the bill and started. The two stars are only for food taste but would NOT recommend this place to anyone. Also please beware of the small Narrow turn to the underground parking lot.

    I feel a tinge of guilt giving this place 3 stars cause the service was great and the workers were extremely nice ... but the food just wasn't up to par. After seeing rave reviews on yelp about Siam my best friend was eager to try it out. We ordered the Roti for appetizer, and got the Pad Thai, Spicy/Sweet Crispy Catfish, and Green Curry all spicy spiced. I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately none of these dishes blew me away. The Roti was nice, but it wasn't as fluffy and crispy as I had hoped. It's not bad, just not what I expected. The Chicken Pad Thai was a little too sweet for my liking and I didn't like that they used the smaller thin noodles. Also, if you're a fan of spicy, order EXTRA spicy, cause the spicy tasted pretty mild. This was the only dish we finished though. The Green Curry with chicken was just mediocre. Again, not spicy enough. And after having been to Banh Thai and eating their duck curry, I can no longer have the same appreciation for chicken curry. The chicken pieces are just too dry, and I'm not really a fan. The Catfish was a big let down though, I don't think I enjoyed it at all. The flavor was a little over powering and salty, if only it were more spicy. Also, the fried skins around the catfish wasn't crispy and tasted a little stale. This plate was left almost untouched. In all honesty, this place wasn't bad, but I don't think I'd be back considering the fact that there are sooo many other Thai restaurants around.

    We tried the chefs special for the day - Mango Tango. As the name suggests, it was indeed a fun dish. With chicken and prawns cooked together in a mango and baby corn sauce....being from India.. Mango is my biggest weakness!! Absolutely loved the dish. We also ordered their most popular dish - Crab Noodles. I would say the dish didn't impress me much. Mostly because of the strong smell..but we added some lemon to it to make the smell go away...smart I know! Overall a very good experience... Definitely going back to try the other dishes!

    This place is very good for Thai food in San Jose. I recommend the massaman curry, which is thicker than the watered down versions I've tried at other places. It also has unique peanutty flavor that I haven't tasted anywhere else. The crab fried rice is also delicious, as is the papaya salad. The owner guy is friendly and always smiling. I always feel full after eating here. :)

    I'm literally torn to write this review, but here it goes. This place is cute, small and it always smells amazing. Food is good. There are constantly people there hence the fact it's right on Stevens Creek. Two problems, though: 1. Eating there takes forever for seating (not enough space to wait - you're forced to just be outdoors for up to 45 minutes) 2. Eating To-Go is the worst! Absolutely the smallest portions I've ever seen at a takeout restaurant, especially Thai where they're usually super generous with portions. This makes it a problem for me because they're a little bit more expensive than any other Thai places that are also yummy, if not better. Sadly, I will not be returning. I would recommend going to Thai Chili Cuisine in Sunnyvale and/or Banh Thai in Milpitas.

    HORRENDOUS SERVICE!!! I've dined at this place for nearly two years now. In spite of the less than stellar service, we keep coming back for the somewhat decent food. The beef fried rice is okay, the Thom Khar is pretty good and the mango sticky rice is delicious! When the waitress came around to take our orders today, she literally snatched the menu out of my hand while I was still perusing it for our final dish - then she said, "yes, yes" and walked away. Unless servers in this restaurant have magically obtained the ability of telepathically reading its customers' minds, I would appreciate you taking the time to hear us out before storming off with an 'I don't have time for this' attitude. What happened to exceptional customer service? I'm not asking for much, just basic human courtesy and to be treated respectfully as any paying customer. The way we were treated today was what you would call, "the straw that broke the camel's back." So instead of tipping them with the usual (18% or 20%+ of the final bill), I decided not to leave anything today - I finally got fed up with being given crappy attitude, and tipping them for it each time I come in. Well, guess what happened? The owner ran to my car after we left and basically asked me to write a tip. She also said, "I've seen you come in before..." [her hand extending across the passenger window with the bill]. Oh, so now you remember we're repeat customers when you want a tip, but have feigned repetitive non-recognition every time we visited when it comes to serving us? Can anyone say, selective memory much? I'm not expecting royal treatment, but a smile of familiarity and/or a nod of acknowledgement goes a long way. Maybe you, as the owner, should have gotten the hint that I was extremely unhappy with the service - which I mentioned to her in passing - when I decided not to tip for the first time I've eaten at Siam Fine Thai. I did end up writing a $5 tip, which is a little over 8% of our final bill. By the way, the owner was more interested in getting a tip than feedback on what prompted this whole debacle. Her response after I returned the revised bill now including the tip was to look at the receipt and then walk away. Not even a 'Thank You', or a follow up inquiry on what occurred. Amazing. Did I feel guilty giving such a small tip? Yes, I did. But I refuse to enable and encourage horrible customer service. I know I won't be back.

Then I asked them about it , then she said everything is okie blah blah blah and started raising her voice. What kind if customer service is this ?

    I have been here a couple of recent times It is small but the service is good and the food is really good. If there is a wait...it is worth it. Grab a quick beer and chat with the person you are with. I like it and do go back often when in the area.

    Came for lunch, great lunch specials! Comes with small soup, salad and spring roll. Soup was very flavorful, spring roll was cold, and weirdly enough honey mustard on the salad? I doubt anything was made to order as the food came out lightning speed! Ordered pad thai, did not come with typical pad Thai noodles, but I would suggest ordering a level higher of heat. Ordered medium and it was more like mild. My red curry on the other hand was more like hot than medium. I read other reviews for their bad service but I did not experience any of that, great service, very attentive. Great location too, right across the street from Westfield mall. Would return.

    This is a great weekday lunch spot. Seat yourself outside and enjoy the good weather! The customer service is great, quick for lunch which is nice. Both times I have been here I have gotten the Pad Thai because it is so yummy. They have lunch specials for reasonable prices (7-9 bucks) served with egg rolls, soup and salad. The Pad Thai is a huge helping with loads of veggies. Flavor is spot on! Soup and salad were pretty typical. BF always gets the curry and he loves it. We will be back- and I'll try to pick something different! Posted on iPhone

    If you are looking for the true Thai cuisine experience, you must try Siam Fine Thai Cuisine in San Jose. They serve a nice variety of super fresh and authentic Thai food made to your spice preference. No matter how busy, you will experience the most friendly and personalized service. You are treated like family. Siam is at the top for the most authentic and delicious Thai cuisine in the Silicon Valley. I look forward to experiencing Siam Fine Thai Cuisine again soon. Thank you for the delicious food and great service!

    One of my favorite Thai places! The most recent time I went, we got an the roti bread with yellow curry to start and it was SO GOOD. OMG like it was the texture and taste was amazing!!! My reaction may attribute to the fact that I was starving when I got it, but either way the roti and yellow curry is the way to go for starters. The crab noodles are my sister's go to and mine is the yellow curry! My parents really liked what I think was called the popye's special/surprise? It had friend tofu, spinich, and some other stuff but it was really good! it was a bit salty so you need to eat that with rice. My dad got the salmon grill and the salmon wasn't the best but there were so many vegetables on the plate that it balanced out all the other carbs he was eating haha I bring my friends here a couple of times and everything we've had they all liked. One got the basil chicken, which was pretty good. The pad thai here with the fatter noodles are delicious as well. The area is small so you do have to wait and it's easy to pass by on the road since it's literally on the corner, so keep an eye out for it. Another thing, while you're waiting for a table, you can actually order. Then once you are seated, they give you your food almost immediately! THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY espescially since I was getting hangry.

    A total gem hidden in a strip mall down the street from SR! Inexpensive, good portions and tasty food make this place a great option when you want a quick bite and a bit of peace from the hustle and bustle of the area. The parking lot is tiny as is the restaurant itself but they rotate through quite quickly. I actually prefer this over the nearby Thai options (Krung Thai) down the street.

    Came here the other night and didn't even realize it was there even though I had driven by countless times. The food was very good. Papaya salad was delicious. Roasted duck curry was very good. I really enjoyed the duck flavor. I also ordered the drunken noodles. The more I ate them the better they got it was weird but no complaints ha. Overall good meal.

    I really wished my first trail at Siam Fine Thai did justice to all the positive reviews this place has on yelp. Unfortunately, that did not happen. I am a big fan of Thai food and Drunken noodles is my favorite! And that is what I tried at Siam Thai. It was a little disappointing. It had too much oil and the noodles stuck to each other. We also ordered an entree which, according to the description on the menu, did not have a lot of veggies. We requested the server if we could get some extra veggies added to it. That, apparently, comes with a $1 extra charge. We wouldn't have complained about the extra charge but the portion of veggies that came with the entree was not very impressive. Plus, the broth was really salty! I usually don't rate a place unless I have a 4-star or a 5-star feedback about it. But this place looks like it's good and can constructively use some feedback. I would probably not come back to this place unless my life depended on it. There are better Thai places in the neighborhood.

    I don't know why, but I constantly crave for Thai food. The fact that Siam Thai is down the street from my office is a complete travesty for any diet plan I attempt. It's always so easy for me to just order for pick up and have it ready and waiting for me. Though the parking situation isn't ideal, I don't normally have much of a trouble. Theres a small lot which is awesome if you're lucky. If you're like me and aren't always as lucky, there is a super small underground parking structure that's free-- but be forewarned that it is small and narrow. Otherwise-- I'd recommend street parking if you like a nice walk. I recently came here for lunch with my best friend. As usual, he was late and I was left to do the ordering. His warning for me is always not to eat with my eyes-- I usually get full off of a few bites of everything leaving him to have to be wheelchaired or rolled out of the building. lulzzz. Anyway, I ordered the following dishes Lunch special Green Curry with Chicken: First off, I'm so happy for lunch specials. They're much smaller portions which is awesome since that means I can order MORE! lol and they're also decently priced. I was asked how spicy I wanted, and I said extra spicy. It did come with a kick, but not enough where you feel like you were samurai chopped in the pancreas. This dish comes with rice and some eggrolls. I didn't eat the eggrolls because my friend ate all of them. Not the best green curries I have ever had, but definitely did not fail its purpose. Lunch Special Basil Beef with String beans: Yums. I love the taste of basil in this dish! I'm so happy when I get to have veggies! Veggies for days! It was with a thicker sauce but not too overwhelming. The beef was nicely cooked and fully flavorful Crab noodles: This does not have a lunch special option, but usually the dish I choose for pick up because it's not the strongest smelling dishes. (Last time I brought pad see ew back and it made my cubemates very hungry with the aroma. As much as I love pad see ew, I try to resist it for this reason) They are very generous with the crab serving. My noodles are never overcooked and mushy-- but with the perfect amount and texture. I don't feel lethargic after eating this dish either! The staff that work here are super friendly. While I was waiting and reading my book, a server brought me tom yum soup to pass the time. It was delicious and quite generous of them. They're quite prompt with refilling waters as well. This isn't too big of a restaurant so it does get busy. I try to avoid that crowd by taking a later lunch or ordering for take out. I definitely enjoy this place a lot more than Krung Thai!

    Great drunken noodles and duck curry. Portions were just right. Medium spicy definitely gets things heated up! Parking in the back. Takes card. Small place and it gets busy so definitely be prepared to wait during peak hours!

  • Nav B.

    This place has fallen off... Had eaten here a few times before and it was good, hence why we came back. The staff could be less than friendly as they seem annoyed when it's busy, you'd think this was a good thing. Last time I came the food was so salty i felt super dehydrated afterwards. Had potential, maybe an off night, but I'll look for something better before I come back.

    If I had a thai family, I would be lucky enough to have this kind of food EVERYDAY. But unfortunately, I dont. It's places like these that make me wish I could change my ethnicity sometimes, and luckily I dont have to because I have restaurants like Siam to satisfy my craving. Whats up in da hood: -Authentic thai food. -Mom & Pops kind of family owned hole in the wall -small but clean -LUNCH DEAL (hell yeah, I cannot be happier!) Come between 11am-3pm Monday through Friday except holidays for meals under $9! It comes with salad and spring rolls -credit cards accepted -very friendly waitresses -adjust to your spicy level! SAYY WHAT?!?! -easy to miss because its literally slipped in the corner of a big plaza, but once u hit the area and u see subway, its basically RIGHT NEXT TO IT. Red Curry with Chicken ($7.95): 4 stars. Bamboo shoots, red bell pepper, and chicken marinated in mildly spicy curry enhanced the white rice I submerged in it. I was MILDLY surprised that they asked me if I wanted my curry to be mild, medium, or spicy and they'll cook to my order. THAT'S WHATSUP! The curry was pretty darn smashing. The texture of the curry caught my attention and the taste brought my taste buds to life and the smell raised every hair in my nose (ok sorry TMI). yelp.com/biz_photos/siam… Barbecue Chicken with rice ($7.95): 2.5 stars. I wasnt intensely blown away by this dish. The barbecue chicken had a very similar taste, look and texture to the Chinese cha siu. It lacked flavors and it was a bit dry so soy sauce was added to enhance the dish. yelp.com/biz_photos/siam…

    #156. Siam Fine Thai is a small restaurant, but it is definitely worth a try if you're here for lunch! It does get busy since it's located in a commercial area, but the servers are very prompt with your order. I got Pad Thai ( yelp.com/user_local_phot… ) and my mom ordered green curry ( yelp.com/user_local_phot… ). The Pad Thai was very oily, but still good. I tried the curry and liked how they had eggplants in there (some places don't include that). The lunch specials come with a soup and salad too. Wish they had my favorite Thai dessert-- momo chacha. I asked them about it, but they didn't even know what it was! __________ My 2¢: - Come in for lunch for their specials. - Park behind the building.

    Definitely lives up to the 4 star it has. When you first walk in you get greeted by the nicest waiter ever. The place itself is really small, but it makes you feel really comfortable and is overall a great thai environment to eat in. The food is amazing we got the crab noodle which is absolutely delicious. I forgot which 2 entree we had but they were both extremely on point and I would get again anytime. Price is decent. Not too expensive but it isn't cheap either. My friend and I both spent around $40 for the 2 of us.

    I had a terrible experience here that goes beyond poor customer service. I paid ten dollars for a sticky rice and a mango sticky rice to go and left with NEITHER, but still ten dollars short. The woman who works here knew this and refused to give my money back. I am so appalled by the lack of customer service and will never go back for their poor quality food and lack of decency. You have been warned.

  • Juan V.

    Oh man this place good. They should rename it to New Crunk Thai. Because it is crunk ya. The food is so good that many people are coming to eat it now. Because it is so crowded I have plan. As taxi driver, I usually am stopping at the 76 station next door to put the gas. Then I call to order the food. I walk there to get food and then sit inside the Santana Row to eat in the outside courtyard while everybody is looking at my food. Sometimes I will take food inside the Hotel and order some gin and tonic while I eat my delicious Thai food. If I do this I usually will take some order of chicken satay for bartender to make him happy. I recommend all the food here, especially the Thai food.

  • Bidik T.

    As I read the other reviews, I wanted to try their Pad Thai. What a mistake ! Their Pad Thai is as sweet as dessert and was very sticky. I couldn't finish my plate. I have tried Pad Thai in other places and none of them was sweet as much as this one. Didn't really like it. I should have ordered something else. It is a very small place, no air-conditioning, pretty hot inside. Nothing really special about this place.

  • Ramon V.

    Excellent food at great prices. Had Panag Curry Beef which was perfectly cooked and had wonderful peanut curry flavor, tasted exactly as it should, couldn't ask for better. Summer rolls were delicious and cheap. I will be coming back here again. Only negative I can say is that rice is extra?!? That should be a part of a dish and shouldn't have to order it in addition to the entre.

    Pad Thai was on point. I got introduced to this place today, by my cousin. Its a small place that I didn't even know existed. The soup and Salad was good. I love pad thai, and this place was pretty good, it was very flavorful , it wasn't dry like most places in San Jose, I would definitely come back, and maybe bring my family here.

    My favorite Thai spot in the area, it might be small but don't let that fool you. Family run and they're all super nice.. their food is amazing and comes out quickly. Try to come before the dinner rush because there's not many tables so the wait can be quite a while and when you're starving.. it sucks! A couple of my favorites: Tom Yum soup, mussamun curry, pad thai and drunken noodles. Also when in season, get the mango with sticky rice! it's delish

  • Jay M.

    One of the worst Thai restaurant I've been to. I've eaten in many Thai restaurants and even in Thailand, and ate out at Thai rest. two days in row... So I know Thai Food. First, fried rice was so mushy, inedible, the plain white rice was better. Noodle dish sooo small for $10 and was not tasteful. Yellow chicken curry was ok though. Ohh service was slow and unfriendly. Still wondering why people kept coming though?

    5 Stars for just their papaya salad alone!. I literally order their papaya salad once a week. Aside from Krung Thai, I don't know where else I can find good papaya salad. I've tried several places but this has to be the best by far! Aside from my love for their papaya salad, their drunken noodle is also very delicious! Love love this place!

    This place was a pleasant surprise! Although I admit that I set my expectations really low before eating here. We were in the neighborhood and craving Thai, so I figured it couldn't be bad with a 4-star Yelp rating. I would give the food somewhere around 4.5-5 stars, but they get 4 stars due to the (lack of) atmosphere. And don't worry about dressing up; the footwear of choice here appears to be flip flops. I think their summer rolls are awesome -- one of the best I've ever had. They're a little smaller than most, which makes them easier to eat and a little cuter. Or maybe it's just me. I'm one of those people who likes miniature things. Or just food -- miniature food. They also put a piece of fried tofu in there along with the shrimp. They don't look all that amazing, but they're really tasty. I can't even explain why. We also had the crab noodles (which is really crab pad thai minus the tofu and bean sprouts), and green curry. I wouldn't say it's the best Thai food I've ever had in my life, but they're pretty damn good for a neighborhood Thai place.

    This place is literally a hole in the wall! I counted 30 seats in the entire place....all occupied I might add. You have to walk through the kitchen to get to the bathroom. Small small small. Don't come here with a group larger than 6 unless you have a reservation. We arrived around 7pm on Monday, Presidents Day, and the 4 of us were seated in 15 minutes. The place is small, yes. But this is one of those instances where size really doesn't matter. The food was by far better than all the Thai places I've tried. We all know there are tons of Thai places in Silicon Valley. Krung Thai, Thai Chili, Thai Pepper, Barn Thai, Bangkok Garden, Thai Elephant, Sweet Basil, Thai Orchid...I'm sure I've been to more... This place is definitely my favorite! We had green curry chicken, steamed lemon sea bass, pad se ewe, tom yum, stir fry eggplant, Thai ice tea and a Coke. All the dishes were excellent. All worthy of ordering again. Mild is mild, medium is bearable. They even got spicy levels spot on. We ordered most dishes mild because of my wife, with exception of the tom yum which was medium. I'm always worried about ordering mild at some places because sometimes mild means BLAND, but not here. MILD means MILD, and still damn flavorful. The medium tom yum had just the right kick too. Perfect. This is actually the 2nd time I've been here, and I'll definitely making the trip out again.

    Lowering my stars this time. Came here today expecting a lunch menu, not the case on New Year's Eve. It was the regular menu, which is overly priced to the point of being ridiculous especially for the portions. It's San Jose, not Palo Alto or Los altos. I ordered red chicken curry, spicy. It was either $11 or $12, and rice was $2. Drunken noodles were $10. Looking closer at the menu, they were charging $2.50 for peanut sauce or cucumber salad. Curry was not spicy, portions were small with not many pieces of chicken and some tasted old, or bamboo. Mostly sauce. Sorry but for $12, I can make a huge pot of curry that would last me a week!

    This is one of the better Thai restaurants in West San Jose. Get: -Pad Thai -Basil Chicken -Yellow Curry Service is always quick and friendly. I don't feel rushed. This is one of the few places I've been to where I can take my time enjoying my meal and not feel like I have to scarf it down because other patrons are waiting. Very relaxing!

  • Alex N.

    Place is good, like I'd come here again if my friends suggested it but I wouldn't come here on my own as I think there's more unique Thai places out there. My dinner party and I had: - Curry roti - Curry dipping sauce was good but the roti was a little flat. I personally prefer more light, fluffy and flaky roti. This is a little more on the denser, flatter side. - Angel chicken wings - I was expecting a small plate of like 6 chicken wings but what came was 2 giant boneless chicken wings stuffed with noodles and minced chicken. It was ok but the flavor of the minced chicken combines with the actual chicken wing meat so all you really taste is the chicken wing and the texture of the noodles. - Tom khar soup with seafood - good chunks of seafood and mushroom and good flavor. Little confused they didn't leave more of the herbs or leaves in. Makes the soup look plain since visually it was just mushroom, seafood and broth. Flavor was there so that's all that matters in the end. - Basil chicken wings - best thing here. Super good and would recommend getting any time here. Slightly sweet, flavorful and tender. So overall the place is good, but apart from the basil chicken wings, I don't think there's anything that really makes it stand out from other Thai places in the bay area.

  • Suk B.

    This was my first time at Siam, and I must say that the food was pretty good. I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, and panang nuer with chicken, both spicy. Spiciness level was just perfect (and you had the option of adding a spicy red sauce afterwards). However, the restaurant is very small, and there is very limited outside seating. There is a huge lack of ventilation in the restaurant so it can get smoky the aroma of the food being cooked is extremely strong. Also, although the food was good, it was a bit overpriced for my taste.

    Soooooooo good! Here with my sis and it's our first time! Our friend recommended this place and oh my gah talkin bout bomb.com ! Best Thai I've had!!!

A hole in the wall but not a disappointment! :) im definitely coming back here!

  • Venna Q. T.

    I would probably be giving this place three stars if it wasn't for the fact that I'm eating leftover basil chicken as I write this. It's so good! I have to give credit where it's due- the food here is really good. I was with great company, so it made my experience better. The only problem is that service definitely leaves something to be desired. Inattentive and a bit short, I wouldn't say that this is the model for ideal service. Anyway, the gentleman that bid us farewell as we left was too late in saving the service. The yellow curry with chicken wasn't too runny and had just the right amount of flavor (spices). The pad see ew is delicious! The portion is extremely generous for a lunch special. And the basil chicken has a kick of spicy but isn't overpowering. I love basil so I would be madly in love with this dish if they threw in a bit more. But no real complaints here. We also received tiny salads with what seemed to be honey mustard dressing. I can see why there were so many to go orders. That and traffic in that area is always a headache. Parking seems like an issue, but it's not. Park in the secret underground parking! When you turn in to the tiny lot behind the stores, continue driving in and you'll see a white dumpster to your left. If you drive up to it, you'll see a ramp that leads underground. You're welcome. Don't expect remotely decent service, but do expect delicious Thai and generous portions!

    We ordered around $90 of food from this place so we got a really good sampling of their abilities. The restaurant is small and it's not fine dining. But overall, I'm happy with this place service and food, so I will come back here. The table service is friendly. It is obvious to me the kitchen is understaff or it's just not run efficiently. But the quality of the food is good. I didn't bite into any old meat or veggies. BBQ chicken is nicely glazed. Fried rice is different than other places; it's almost like paella. Pad thai and other noodles are not oily. The chicken on kebab is over cooked. Spring roll is a bit bland but it's fine.

    This place was such a great authentic place. Was seeking for a Thai place in the area, based on review and photos it did not let me down. Tom Yum soup pot was fresh and the pot was steaming for ever. Patay chicken was good but maybe not my favorite. Service was quick and place was packed which is always a good sign.

  • Kriti R.

    This place is great for vegetarians! Their tofu entrees are actually good! Chicken Satay - flavor in the sauce was lacking, but the chicken itself was super moist and delicious Panang Curry with Chicken (Thai Spicy) - this will burn your insides unless you can REALLY handle spice. I loved the flavor in the curry itself, but their green curry is definitely the winner here. The chicken was overcooked :( Flavors are great, spice levels are on point, cozy place with attentive servers.

    Our second time here. Horrible lady at the front desk. Went for dinner with Hubby and 15M old baby girl. We ate and had a great time. As usual Baby girl ate some and dropped some. As I decided not to stress about it, we left a huge tip, cleared the major mess with wipes and also as a courtesy went to the cash register and told the manager that we apologize since our daughter has created a bit of a mess. That lady turned back and mocked at me- " A bit of Mess? Its a lot of mess". I felt so angry at her. Like hello woman seems like either you have never had kids who have done BLW/ you have super civilized kids. My whole evening was wasted in feeling awful/ angry/ frustrated about this situation. I feel like I should have gone back cut out the tip and knocked over a coke on my way out. Rude, unprofessional, and unnecessary. Would she have said that if an adult knocked over a drink or plate? Messes happen in restaurants. Won't be going back here. Definitely not kid friendly and just shows the attitude they have because if they are not good to families with kids, that would mean a huge percentage of the Bay Area population.

  • Kim N.

    One of the best TOM YUM soup I've ever had in California. One major mistake a lot of Thai restaurants make it when you order your food really spicy (level 7 or up), most of them just overload the plate with chili powder. NO NO NO! Not acceptable! The correct way is to add fresh peppers, a reasonable amount of chili powder, herbs, ginger, lemongrass, etc and so on. My tom yum soup was at spicy lvl 8, and I did not choke on powder! I got a pot with tofu for $12, but a small bowl is $5, so not too bad if you're only feeding yourself. I'm obsessed with how fresh and quick the food came out. Definitely coming back again. To some readers, it might be unfair for me to give this business a 5-star because I'm raving about one particular item, but sometimes, one amazing item is better than many terrible ones. I'll be thinking of their tom yum soup when I go to bed tonight. Considering that it is a small restaurant, you will be waiting in line, and not good for large groups unless you don't mind waiting longer for a large space to open up.

    Based on the 4 stars in Yelp we decided to try Siam today. We love Thai food and eat at many of the Thai restaurants in the Bay Area. It was 3:30 and quite busy. Generally a good sign but I could only give it 2 stars. Ordered Tod Mun appraiser and had to use the knife they supplied with the dish to cut them. Tried with the fork but could not hack through them. Can't understand how they could make the skins so tough. Flavor was just so so. Ordered the Hot Basil chicken. Flavor was good but the chicken was tough, dry, leathery and over cooked. Also had Panang Chicken. It was the best of what we ordered, good flavor but the chicken was still a bit over cooked, better but could have been really good if not so well done. Overall it was just so so. We will go back to Typhoon Thai or Tee Nee Thai or New Krung Thai next time. Sorry but I really can't see how this place got 4 stars. Perhaps the cook had a bad day or someone was filling in for the cook. Be advised. 606 Saratoga Ave #D San Jose 95129 dry leathery and overbooked .The skins were the toughest

    MOVE OVER Krung Thai! This is the new spot for Thai food around VF mall. I loveeeeeeeeee their drunken noodles and panang curry! The best I've bad so far. Drunken noodles: Very flavorful! I love spicy so I get mine medium or very spicy depending on my mood. They don't play with those thai peppers! Panang curry: Delicious! I love how they have what I think are green serrano peppers cut in strips along with red bell peppers in it.

    I come to this place when Original KT is not open. This place is small and the owner is nice. The food is so so and its always salty or sweet and the portions is not as generous as KT. What's my complaint?! The darn cooks takes a looooooong time to make my soup! My salad I ordered took close to 20'!Wth?! C'mon! We were the 2nd group that came in when you opened! All in all... I'll come bc when I'm desperate enough for some Thai food but I'd rather wait and get some spicy and good Thai food @ KT! :)

    The lunch menu here has decent prices and a good variety. Although the way they name their dishes is not very helpful, and maybe even a bit confusing. But for under $10, you can get an entree, side of rice, an egg roll, small salad, and soup. Alas, you kind of get what you pay for as, overall I feel my meal was adequate, but not something that I would ever go back again for. I will say the soup was surprisingly very good. Nothing about the meal was bad really, but there was nothing about it that made me feel excited. There are other Thai restaurants in the area with flavors that wow me. This place didn't do that for me. But for the price, it's a good deal, especially if you're not a picky eater. The other Thai places I'm thinking of will charge more. But again, you get what you pay for. It's a tad small, but cozy in a way. Service is friendly.

    Thai food is my favorite food so I was excited to go there. We ordered a couple of different dishes. I was not a fan of the papaya salad, normally my favorite dish, but it was ok. The hot pot soup was very good but a little overpriced for what you get. The green curry was very good, especially the roasted eggplants were delicious. The sticky rice with mango was ok, the rice portion is on the smaller side but the presentation of the plate was great.

    Craving for Thai? Well, this is the place to go. I came here with my friend during my trip to North Cal. I honestly gotta say I wasn't expecting much when I saw the store. It's hidden away on a corner of a small plaza. The door is facing the street, so it's a little difficult to find. There's only seating for about 25 people, so during dinner time it was packed and would be expected to sit next to the door. Ordered: 1. Pad Thai with beef: very very delicious. The noodles were not over cook and the sauce was just perfect seasoning. 2. Tom Yum Coconut Soup with chicken: spicy and sour, everything I needed on a cold day. The soup was also loaded with mushroom. For 2 people, a bowl of it would be enough, but if you want left overs to go, go for the hot pot. 3. Something with Tofu: I can't remember the name of this dish, but it was good. We ordered the dish with tofu. The tofu was able to absorb the flavor of the sauce, which make it yummy and delicious. If I live around here, this place would definitely be one of my togo places for Thai. The price here is also very reasonable.

    The service here is good however the food here doesnt deserve the high ratings. Food here is customised to fit the western taste bud and have lost its original taste of thai food. Tom yum soup is way too sweet. If you want to eat original thai food, this is not the place to go. But if you want to find a place for meal after shopping at westfield, this place is suitable

    In fairness to the restaurant, we had a little trouble making the order due to a crummy connection from a cellphone company starting with a V... When I got to the restaurant they had not made our order since the phone call dropped and they weren't 100% sure what we wanted. They confirmed the last part of the order with me (did we or did we not want steamed rice in the order) and then said it would be 10 minutes...which was not a big deal. As a result, it's possible they may have rushed the order, but they made the curry spicy, when it was not supposed to be at all. Meanwhile on my Pad See Ew, there was no spice at all, though it was supposed to be very spicy. My dish also tasted and smelled somewhat burnt (even though it didn't look it...). It's a small, strange looking restaurant from the outside...but inside it's quaint, charming, and kind of cool. The staff is pretty friendly, though maybe a little frantic. All in all, the restaurant is alright but I wasn't impressed with the food that we got.

    Got take out here today- parking available behind building if you can't find it on the street alongside the building. Came in and there was a bottleneck at the front, as there are only two chairs for patrons waiting to pick up orders and both a family entering waiting to be seated and a couple trying to leave- might need to rethink floorplan close to door, just a thought. Speaking of the door, it was open most of my (short) visit and it's fairly cold out which was uncomfortable seeing as how I was sitting right in the doorway. Tried shutting the door but it was opened again when someone messed up a dish and the restaurant temporarily got smokey. Myself and another dude ordered take out at the same time, his order came out considerably faster than my own. Found this place surprisingly pricey for a thai place- I'm used to bay area thai being $8-10/plate, since high quality restaurants are everywhere. This place charged $14 for a large tom kha, and not even the seafood kind! Also the crab noodles were about $14, again pricey, but at least more expected when it's a seafood dish. Had to order it though as it was fairly unique. I'm not one for warm crab, I usually prefer it cold in salads or rolls but lately I've been wanting to try it more often and work more seafood into my diet. Surprisingly, even my BF liked the crab noodles- and he doesn't like the thin pad-thai-style noodles in the first place. Tom Kha soup was ordered spicy and arrived spicy- saw many of the reviews said that this place didn't really do spicy so ordered hotter than I usually do to compensate. Ordering to go still yielded a pretty large portion with plenty of chicken and mushrooms, although unfortunately also a lot of lemon grass and ginger chunks that found their way into my mouth accidentally. Both dishes good, would possibly get the soup if I were to dine-in there for a future visit. Service was a bit mixed- slight delay to getting my dishes but everyone was friendly. Ultimately the pricing was a turn off and I'd probably go elsewhere. Side note; though there is increased parking in the back, two cars double-parked in the lot and nearly trapped me in. Surprisingly busy, even though it's a Sunday and there's even an open space in the building.

    Horrible service!! I normally order togo since the place is extremely tiny and cramped. Last week I did the same and when I got home I noticed they missed an entree. I called the next day, since it was late when we realized what happened. They called me back 2 days later to let me know they reviewed the video tapes and confirmed they put it in my bag, I never received it. I asked her to send me a copy of the video and she refused. She was very argumentative and extremely rude. Needless to say, I will not return.

    Ordered pad thai lunch combo....chicken was dry and hard. Pad thai was itself of different variety and was very greasy and didn't have any taste at all. It seemed like it was made in the morning and they just gave it to us as it is.

    This place is definitely 4.5 stars worthy because it isnt all trafficy on Santana Row and it has legit food. It is literally a few steps away from the row but it looks like it is in some shady dark secluded area. It is definitely not a place you would want to take a hawt date to since it is not fancy at all. Everyone raves about the green curry and that just so happens to be my favorite dish beside from pad see ew so I got me some green curry and added chicken. It cost $12 or so and then you have to get a bowl of rice. I opted for brown rice for $2.50 and split that with my friend. That is how the Thai places get you since they never include the damn rice. Regardless, the curry came in a pretty big bowl and we could have easily split that among two people. The curry is so flavorful and just the right thickness. Some other places are too watery or too thick but just like the third little bear, it was justttt right. The curry has quite a lot of chicken which is always nice since oftentimes there is more curry than chicken. I loveddd how there were pieces of eggplant since I have recently been loving this veggie. Overall, this dish is super yummy and flavorful and it would be good on a cold fall day. I will definitely come back here for green curry since it is way better than Krung Thai's. If it comes to pad thai, I havent tried this place's but I have to go to my Krung for that one. **TIPS** 1) They accept credit card! 2) They leave the door open at night....so bring a jacket or else you will freeze like I did. 3) Get the green curry with chicken! You will not regret it. 4) Enjoy!

    This place is only a short walk away from Santana Row. When we arrived around 7pm, the place was pretty much full except there were some people that were almost done so we were seated pretty quickly. The place is pretty small and can only seat around 30 people, but I noticed a lot of people ordered to go. I really liked the Thai food here. I ordered the Pad Thai, but I also had a chance to try my girlfriend's Pad See Ew, which I actually enjoyed more. The pad thai's flavor was a little different than what I was used to so I'm not sure if I would order it again, but the pad see ew here is way better than the noodles I get around Castro in Mountain View. I thought the portions were pretty large and for $8.95, I would consider this place to be a solid destination for Thai noodles.

    I finally had the chance to try this place out! Its a pretty small Thai restaurant located right across from Valley Fair Mall! The parking for the restaurant is located at the back and there are also street parking available around that area. Since I was on a time crunch, I didn't have time to sit down at eat, so I decided to order something to go. I glanced at their menu, and nothing really stood out to be except for the basil dishes. I ordered the beef basil (mild), jasmine brown rice, and Thai tea to-go! The beef basil was good! The lady asked how spicy I wanted it, and I told her mild since it was my frist time here and I don't know what their definition of "spicy" is. Sadly "mild" meant no spice! So next time I'll tell her spicy! The beef was tender and really good! The brown rice option was also good (ordered separate). The Thai tea was really good and refreshing, however I was disappointed at the size. I can get a larger size from the mall's food court for the same price. *shrugs* maybe she forgot to ask me what size of drink I wanted.... I had no idea their standard size cup for a Thai tea was that small. Overall, awesome place for Thai food! I know taking food to-go usually ruins the presentation of their food so I'm not even gonna post a picture on here...., but I'd like to come back here and dine in the restaurant! Great place to get a quick Thai meal!

    After done shopping at Valleyfair, we were craving for Thai food!! So the nearest are either Krung Thai or Siam Fine. Kind of figured Krung Thai would be very crowded on Saturday night, so we decided Siam Fine instead. It was pretty crowded, but the wait did not took long. We ordered the crab noodles and grilled pork. The crab noodles was very good. The sauce was perfect and the noodles were not dry. The grilled pork was really salty, which I did not enjoy as much. They give you good amount of rice for one person. The customer service was just okay. They did a good job refilling our water, but took too long to take our payment. I guess cuz they're were only two workers in a busy night. Overall, not bad. I still would like to try other dishes in future, but I prefer other locations.

    We thought of trying this place out for a while, but was always discouraged because of the long line-ups. Today, we got lucky. We arrived around 1pm on Sunday afternoon and barely waited for our table. We just got lucky, because by the time we left, there was a crowd waiting outside the restaurant to be seated. The venue is quite small. They can only accommodate about 45 people or less at a time. It's quite small, but they managed to make it all work efficiently. We found the food tasty. Although a bit on the sweet side. Our two toddlers loved the Hawaiian Fried Rice. It came with chicken, pineapple, cashew, eggs, carrots, peas, and raisins. We started with Tom Yum Kung. It was tasty, but a bit sweet from what we're used to. We also had the Seabass, which was a recommended specialty. I really liked. The juicy fried fish in a mixed veggie with a light tasty sauce. Wish the Seabass filet to have no bones. I had to make sure that the pieces I gave to the kids didn't have any. We found a few bones in it. My hubby loved the BBQ Duck Curry. The Duck was tender and the curry sauce was well-seasoned. It was prepared medium spicy. I would say that their thai dishes are a bit of an Asian fusion style.

    Not impressed with my first time eating here. Surprised by how small this place is. Pad thai was overly sweet. Green curry was good though. The servers were speaking thai or vietnamese really loud to each other. Overall, food was nothing special.

    WOW this place is really awesome. It's a small restaurant on Stevenscreek but it's really good! I don't really eat Thai food that often but this place makes me want to come back for more. The crunchy spring rolls and the Thai fried rice w/ chicken were amazing! The pad Thai and their Thai tea was pretty good too. Great experience and definitely coming back to explore the rest of the menu. THAI. FRIED. RICE. = YUM!

    I really don't understand why this place has 4 stars...yes, their prices are cheap but the quality of their ingredients and the service both reflect that. I ordered a pad Thai with shrimp, no peanuts, which literally came with just that - noodles and shrimp. Menu said that it is also supposed to come with bean sprouts and eggs, and I got maybe a sprinkling of each, which makes clear they are trying to skimp on their customers, even on the cheaper ingredient. And don't even get me started on the other ingredients that pad Thai is usually supposed to come with, like green onions and tofu; you're not gonna find any of that here. I also found the service appalling. After taking our order, the older lady with glasses, whom I'm guessing is the manager, took away our plates because she said that we don't need it since my mom and I both ordered noodle dishes. She didn't even ask, and before either of us had a chance to object, she took away our plates. We were both like wtf, what if we wanted to share? And then, our appetizer came and we found ourselves without plates, and we were like wtf how are we supposed to eat this? We had to ask another waitress to bring us some plates. Smdh Overall, the food is tasty but I was turned out by the service from the get go and definitely was not impressed by their skimping on the essential ingredients. 2 stars.

    First off, let me just say that looks can be deceiving! Passing by this place all the time, I see tons of people always waiting outside to be seated, first impression, it must be small inside! Small parking lot in the back of the place, street parking is also available. Plates in the pictures, are not as big as I thought they would be, pretty small for $10 plus each. Food is great! Super delicious! If only I could make this at home =)

    Came by for lunch the other day and it was delicious! Ordered the Red Dragon (Pad Khee Mao) Beef lunch special for and it came with a complimentary soup and salad. The soup was good and so was the small salad. Definitely a nice touch. The Red Dragon was tasty too. The beef was tender and the noodles were fresh. The fried wontons were a nice complement to the dish too. Requested Mild+ and it wasn't spicy at all... Service was very good. Thai Tea was decent.

    ***************************** 1361 *************************** Tiny little place, less than 25 capacity. Nothing much in decoration, simple, casual, hole on the wall kind of place. It was super slow service at lunch time, but the food is consistent. - Yum Woon Sen was OK, need more dressing. - Mango Salad was very good. - Angel Wings - boneless, stuffed with meat & veggies, fried, it was too oily for my taste. - Soft Shell with long bean was delicious. It's a good spot for quick bite between your shopping break. Just avoid the prime lunch time.

  • Ocee D.

    Gave them almost 10 "second chances" before dropping them down to 3 stars. Your best bet is to call in a take-out order at dinner time, because their dinner cooks make the best Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai around. Do anything other than that, and there's a good chance you'll be disappointed. Posted pictures of everything, but I don't have enough room to include links in this review. Starters: Thai Spring Rolls ($7.95) - 4 Stars - Deep-fried vegetarian spring rolls. A lot better than the prawn rolls Roti w/ Yellow Curry ($6.95) - 4 Stars - The roti is just really greasy puff pastry. Not sure how long they fry it for, but it took 15 minutes to make this when they were practically empty Prawn Rolls ($8.95) - 3 Stars - Deducted 1/2 a star because the prawns didn't taste too fresh and they left the tails on Calamari Pacific ($9.95) - 3 Stars - Very greasy, and served w/ just sweet chili sauce (no tartar sauce like the menu says); Wouldn't get this again Summer Rolls ($7.95) - 2 Stars - Without the sauce, these are so bland you won't wanna waste your time or room in your stomach eating them. With the peanut sauce, it's a whole different story (3 1/2 stars) Salads and Soup: Papaya Salad ($8.95) - 3 1/2 - 4 Stars - Only thing that would make this better for me is if it didn't have such a strong garlic taste Tom Khar w/ Chicken ($8.95 - Bowl) - 3 1/2 Stars - Deducted 1/2 star for being overpriced and because a few pieces of the chicken didn't taste fresh - Mostly mushrooms and chicken, but it had one tiny piece of carrot in there Thai Cobb Salad ($8.95) - 3 Stars - This comes with two dressings: Peanut, and House (that tasted like honey mustard) - It was pretty disappointing, and didn't taste even close to as good as it sounded/looked - I didn't like the fried tofu (1 1/2 Stars) they threw on top of the salad Entrees: Drunken Noodles ($10.95 w/ Beef; $11.95 w/ Prawns) - 4 Stars - Dinner cooks probably make the best Drunken Noodles in the area, and they can actually make it "Thai Spicy". Not as impressive during lunchtime Pad Thai w/ Prawns ($11.95) - 2 Stars - I don't like that they leave the tails on the prawns, but the dinner cooks here also make the best Pad Thai in the area. Had to deduct 2 stars because the prawns didn't taste fresh, and there was a f***ing pebble in my Pad Thai! yelp.com/biz_photos/siam… Mussaman Curry w/ Chicken ($10.95) - 4 Stars - Of the three curries I've tried here, this was the best. Menu says it has onions, but it doesn't. It's got carrots instead. One of the pieces of carrot had what looked like a tiny hair/bristle on it... no reason for either to be in there Panang Curry w/ Chicken ($10.95) - 4 Stars - Better than their yellow curry (which has always been my favorite Thai dish). Only has red bell peppers, curry sauce, and chicken Spicy Fried Rice w/ Chicken ($9.95) - 4 Stars - Ordered it Thai spicy, but the lunch crew p*ssified it as usual. It had some heat, but not even close to Thai spicy Spicy Crispy Catfish ($13.95) - 3 Stars - Deducted 1 star because the catfish was barely warm, wasn't really spicy at all, and for the second time I found what looked like a thin hair/bristle in my food. Server said it was from the peeler used on the eggplant, but IDGAF what it's from, it shouldn't be in my food. Clean your f***ing peelers! Crying Tiger ($11.95) - 3 1/2 Stars - Small portions, but the meat was cooked perfectly. The sauce had too strong of a vinegar taste for me though Hot Basil Chicken ($9.95) - 3 1/2 Stars - It's already supposed to be "hot", but I asked for it Thai spicy, and it still came out barely spicy Yellow Curry w/ Chicken ($10.95) - 3 Stars - I've had this here before, and it was good, but this last time, they either dumped too much curry paste or salt in it, or they didn't add enough coconut milk. And their Thai spicy was so weak that I had to ask the server w/ RBF for some chili sauce Thai Angry Beef ($10.95) - 3 Stars - The only thing this beef is "angry" about is that they put it in such a boring dish. Wouldn't get again Side Orders: Steamed Jasmine Rice ($2) - 4 Stars - I usually prefer brown rice, but over here, this is a lot better Steamed Brown Rice ($2.50) - 3 Stars - Used to be better, but now it's pretty f'in average Sticky Rice ($2) - 2 1/2 Stars - Disappointing Desserts: Thai Roti w/ Coconut Ice Cream ($6.95) - 3 Stars - The same Roti as the appetizer, but it comes with pineapple-coconut ice cream Misc: Packed on weekend nights Ventilation is bad, so if you eat inside, you'll smell like Thai food for the rest of the day/night Dog-friendly outside seating, but next to a patch of dirt/mud Service is usually friendly, but hardly ever "good" - Inattentive and sometimes confused, especially at lunch - I've had to call them from my cell and ask for my bill - A few times, they've asked to take my order as they handed me the menu

    My 1st experience here a few years back was a bad one. The customer service was terrible and unfriendly. The food during that visit was mediocre, so I told my self I would never be back. However, I work right around the corner from this place, so one of my co-workers who knows I love thai food bought me a gift certificate. I thought I'd give this place another try today. The service was better this time around, though the food in my opinion hasn't changed. They have a small menu and I don't see many authentic dishes on here. The prices are reasonable, so that's a plus. However, whenever I crave thai food, I expect something amazing, full of flavor and authentic. That is where this place falls short.

  • Sara T.

    The food was really really yummy! Tasted very authentic and the food smelled very good! The place is really small with maybe 10 tables or less, but there's a few seats outside too. And parking is located in the back, but it's limited. So like I said the food was really good -- ordered the yellow curry with chicken ($10.95) and hot basil with pork(~$10?) with a side of jasmine rice ($2) and sticky rice ($2). In total 2 dishes + 2 sides of rice costed $27 and a few cents + tip was about $30, which is kind of pricey since I'm a college student on a budget. Lol. Also, the portion size was kind of small compared to other places, so I'm kind of sad that I paid so much for dinner. But it was dinner, so usually dinner prices are higher compared to lunch prices :( Overall, I enjoyed the two dishes and service was alright. Just know this place is kind of expensive... I rather go back to Thai Spice in Willow Glen for thai food...or just spend my money somewhere else where I can get bigger portions. Sorry I'm cheap.

  • Andrea P.

    Probably one of the more authentic Thai restaurants in the area which probably explains the high Yelp ratings. Maybe I'm a little spoiled by Hollywood Thai Town food which is always on point but I was a little disappointed here. It's a small restaurant, the place was packed on a Sunday evening (people were even sitting outside) and there was a wait. We waited about 20 minutes for our table and after ordering we waited another 15-20 minutes for our food. The servers were friendly and trying their best to expedite the process but it still took a while. Here are my thoughts: 1. Tom yum soup - too sweet 2. Why do none of the entrees come with rice? You're forced to order a side of rice for $2. At least the bowls are generous. 3. Skip the crying tiger - the beef was a little dry and it just tasted like overly barbecued beef. The sauce was good though. 4. FYI when they're busy, the food comes out slowly. It's like they only have one chef or something. 5. Poor ventilation. Throughout our dinner, you could slowly see the restaurant smoke up and we left smelling like we all went to Korean bbq. Overall, the food wasn't bad but nothing impressive. I would come back for lunch maybe and be sure not to wear clothes you JUST washed -_-

    ITTY BITTY HIDDEN PLACE. totally drove by here for so many years until I was trying to find a Thai place that was actually open and I was navigated here. Gladly tried this place because I'm always open to try pad Thai and this place was surprisingly tasty! The portion was huge so it definitely took a couple times to tackle it down and finish it. would like to come back and try their pad see ew!

    One of my close guy friends took me here to eat . He insisted that this is the BEST Thai food restaurant ever . He was right ! It was really good. We ordered the spicy pad Thai and some type of curry. I forgot but I think it was the green curry. Both dishes were really good . The girl waitress ( I forgot) is probably one of the best waitress I ever had ! She was very sweet , attentive and accommodating . Always asking if we needed anything . However the older lady waitress ( possibly maybe the owner?) she's never smiling and is sometimes rude . I came back here several times . The last time I came back with my uncle. We had a feast and ordered : spicy seafood tom yum, beef salad, roti, papaya , spicy pad Thai, and one more dish I forgot. They were all really good. I would come back here if I'm craving Thai food around valley fair area !

    I gotta say, this place really surprised me. The wait really sucked, there was no a/c, it was super cramped inside, and the service was mediocre at best....but the food was really good. This review is limited since there was only two of us and we only got one dish each. I tried the crab meat noodle which was super tasty and the noodles were really good. I was really pleasantly surprised. I'd definitely go back to try other dishes and the Thai tea...the Thai roti coconut ice cream sounds amazing also. Would totally recommend giving this place a try but just don't go there super hungry and prepare for lack of a/c.

    Siam Fine Thai Cuisine really stands by its name & one of the best Thai spots in the bay area. Very tasty food, served in decently large quantity. Their Must Try's are Roti with Yellow Curry, Tom Kha Veggie Soup, Fried Rice, Thai Iced Tea & have heard from our friends that their Non-Veg dishes are good as well. Although it's a small place, it's very popular & so expect to wait for a while if you are going on Friday nights or Weekends as they don't take reservations. Staff are very quick & courteous. Price is decent for the location, being closely situated near Santanarow. I have made frequent visits with my husband & friends so far & am sure to visit again soon.

    I came here on a Sunday night with my friend. It was pretty busy but we didn't have to wait long to be seated. We ordered the roti curry to share. It was delicious. The curry was very flavorful! I got the drunk noodles, which were phenomenal. I highly recommend both dishes. My friend spicy crispy catfish. I had a few bites & it was okay. The pieces I had were just the batter & no catfish, which was disappointing. Overall, we had a pleasant experience & will be coming back soon!

    One of my favorite Thai restaurants in San Jose! I love how they don't hold back on the intense flavor of each dish. They stay true to the flavors of authentic Thai cuisine. They don't stray like most Thai places in the Bay Area. I frequent this location since it suits my palate. The food is pretty amazing. The staff is very friendly. Just one downfall is that it's tiny inside. If you come during their busy hours, just be prepared to wait. I can say it's worth the wait.

    I had a sudden craving for Thai food after talking to my colleague about Thai food earlier at work today. I had to stop by Nordstrom at Valley Fair and had heard this place was too good to pass up. I would've gone with Krung Thai since it's right around the corner from this place but I figured why not try something new. We got seated right away and ordered within five minutes of getting sat. The restaurant is relatively small (seating about 30 people based on the tables and chairs that were around us) so it felt a bit claustrophobic and intrusive. We ordered Roti Curry, Pad Thai with Chicken, Thai Fried Rice with Shrimp, and a Thai Iced Tea. The Roti came out first and was so good! It was cooked where it was still piping hot and paired well with the curry dipping sauce. Then the bad news came from our server that the Thai Iced Tea would take a while to make since they had to brew up a new pot. They didn't quote me a timeframe that it would be ready by so I told the server that I didn't mind waiting since we hadn't gotten our main entrees yet. When we got the Pad Thai, the noodles were overcooked and hard; the noodles were underwhelming and tasted bland. The Thai Fried Rice kind of redeemed them but honestly, it's not worth coming back for. When I was done eating, I had to ask one of the servers passing by our table about the Thai Iced Tea. I was told again that it'd still be a while before it was ready since the tea pot they brewed needed to cool down before serving. The servers were sincerely apologetic but they should've just said from the get-go it wouldn't be ready even by the time I finished my meal. At that point, I was over the whole hype of this place and decided to stop by good ole Krung Thai for a Thai Iced Tea to make up for the constant downfalls at Siam.

    Wow! Loved my lunch here and can't wait to go back. It's been a while since I had such good Thai food. We ordered Tom yum soup, Spring rolls, red curry with veggies, basil entree and the spicy fried rice. All of the dishes ordered were near perfect and had complex flavored with the freshest of veggies. We had the sticky rice with mango for dessert and it was as perfect as the other dishes. The fried mung on the sticky rice gave a nutty texture to the dessert! Loved it! As far as the wait goes, we waited about ten minutes for a party of 3. The place is v small and might not be ideal for a large group. Service was prompt and to the point. Great value for the quality and location. Have to come back to try their meat dishes..

    I really like the pas thai here!! It's just the way it used to be at the new krung thai. I have had their drunken noodles and green curry too but they're not my favs. I usually just order take out pad thai but I will try a few more dishes and come back to revise my review. It's a small restaurant so I don't eat in for lunch bc I don't want to smell like food when I go back to work. Small place not a typical first date place in my opinion. But currently it's one of my fav thai places!

    Their seabass green curry is so delicious!!!! I have to come here at least once a week because I crave for it!! This is my favorite Thai restaurant because of their green curry. I've tried other places and their sea bass green curry doesn't even come close to this place. The pad say eww is very good too. My new favorite Authentic Thai restaurant.

    Food=5 stars Service=0 stars We went with friends, 4 adults and 2 toddlers total. The waitress was rude and very short with us. They refused to seat us in a table for 6, instead they put us in a table for 4 with two high chairs on the side. They were unable/unwilling to explain what hotpot meant in the menu and they refilled water once over the course of 1hr meal. They also have a huge boiling pot on the way to the restroom. Definitely not kid safe. The place may be OK for takeout, definitely not "Fine" dining. Edit: They also added 15% tip on the post tax amount even though they refused to seat us at a table for 6. :(

    This is place is Thai-ny...But the food is awesome! Remember that scene in "The King and I" where the royal children insist that Siam is the biggest and best country in the world? This restaurant reminds me of that. It is so small...but it also serves the best Thai food that I've had so far in San Jose. I recommend the "aromatic" green curry as an entrée, and you should definitely try the fried banana and (coconut) ice cream as well. Also, you should pass on the "golden triangle" appetizer. It was just huge tofu triangles fried and served with a tiny side of dipping sauce. If you really want tofu, opt for it as the protein in your entrée instead. For those of you who prefer REAL meat, try the drunken noodles with the seafood combination!

    My boyfriend insists that this is one of his top favorite Thai restaurants evarrrr. And I must admit it is pretty good. We got: Tom Yum Soup: Pretty daym good. This was my favorite out of the three. Pad Thai: Large portions also delicious but nothing to crazy special. Green Curry: Personally I don't really like curry in general so I thought this was an okay dish but it was delicious and I heard my other girl friend reaaaaallly likes it so if you like curry you should consider it! The owner of the place recognized my boyfriend since he used to be a regular customer and asked him how he was doing lately and was super nice. The place is kinda small though and we got the last table on a weeknight.

  • Danni Shinya L.

    Love the food here, very flavorful, we've tried several different dishes and they were good every time. They have white or brown rice options. They are also one of the very few thai places that has sweet peanut roti on the dessert menu! The only one star off is because it's a tiny place, so during busy hours you have to wait a little, but never too long. Also the service can be a tiny bit slow sometimes.

  • Kevin N.

    HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! It's the first time ever in all my time reviewing on Yelp that I felt the lack of an option to give ZERO stars. Reason? Rude, arrogant service. I went in with friends for lunch and ordered a few items from the menu. I ordered Thai Ice Coffee because my friend states it is really good, at the time I suspect it has gone bad somehow, I had asked for a clarification on whether my taste was not good, or the milk was spoiled. (THE MILK JUST TASTED LIKE STRAWBERRIES) The server, with her response was "We just made it yesterday" and walked away. I didn't say anything, but me and my friends were really angry and disappointed by how this place treats their customers. They were very rude and unacceptable from the unprofessional owner, to the servers. PLEASE DON'T EVER EVER EVER COME TO THIS PLACE

    What a huge disappointment‼ After waiting 45 minutes on a busy Saturday night, we finally got a table. Since my fiancée has been here before, we ordered without even looking at the menu. 1. Angel wings - yea the two stuffed wings were huge, but, they were that way because of the 1/4" of breading around the outside! 2. Tom Kha Gai - typical Thai style soup with coconut milk, lemon grass, mushrooms and chicken breast meat. The soup was just OK, but the chicken was lacking in any sort of flavor. 3. Beef Drunken noodle - flat rice noodles cooked with broccoli, carrots, red bell peppers, tomatoes, basil and beef. Looked good, but didn't have any wok fried aroma and the beef was COLD. I couldn't understand how a wok fried dish can come out like this! 4. Pineapple Fried rice - old Thai standby with chicken and shrimp. Again, no wok aroma and the chicken was COLD. I figured out why both meat dishes came with COLD meats, they pre-boil the meats and then just mix them in with the finished dish. That way they can save time and come up with different variations of the same dish. I don't understand how they can call themselves "Fine Cuisine" when there is nothing fine about the food. I can barely justify giving them 1 STAR. There's no way I will ever come back when there are several Thai restaurants around the corner.

    authentic thai food, not expensive and delicious! the restaurant is a bit small so you might have to wait a bit if you come during peak hours but the owners and the chefs are Thais .. and the taste is pretty authentic when compared to other thairestaurants (operated by thai people) in the bay area! great service as well!

  • Jessica C.

    When you walk in the first thing you will notice is that place is small. But don't let that steer you away. I suggest going when it is not peak hours as the place fills up fast. Once you are seated and your food comes out you will forget the size of the place. You can smell the food cooking on the other side of the divider. The lunch special comes with a salad that has a nice mustard and honey dressing. I have gone there twice and the food has been wonderful both times. The yellow curry is on the sweet side but I enjoyed that. It was also a bit thicker than other places but again that was a good thing. I normally do not like carrots in the curry but these are flavorful and really carry the spices. We had Tom Kha Ga and pad see ew. once with chicken and once with tofu. both times they were really good.

  • Dalena T.

    The location and size of the restaurant is pretty small but adorable. The service is incredible, friendly, and super attentive. The food is great also! One of the best pad thais I've had. The yellow curry is my favorite. Potatoes cook to the right texture. Curry is sweet and rich. Chicken is cut & cooked to perfection with no extra cartilage or fat. Just the way I love it. My boyfriend and I were able to share both dishes and still had leftovers. So the dish sizes were fairly great! The Thai Tea was delicious, sweet, and so refreshing. I'd love to come back when I'm in the area.

  • Andrew N.

    I don't normally write reviews, but as my first this will definitely not be my last. My friend and I ordered the red tofu curry with rice and split it between the both of us. The flavor was great, as well as being nice and thick and not watered down like other Thai restaurants I've eaten at. For us to be pretty full after finishing I'd say the portion size was just right. We topped it off with some sticky rice with mango and all I can say is that both dishes were superb! However, there was an instance when we were eating where my friend had taken a bite into a piece of tofu and found an inch long metal wire inside. That was unexpected. I mentioned this to our server and she talked to her manager and came back with an offer for a dish of our choice on the house. I really appreciated their customer service! This place is a nice little hidden gem and I will definitely be coming back when I get the chance.

    First timer here! Got here around 5/5:30 pm on a Tuesday and it was empty so hooray for no wait! Thought it'd be hard to find parking considering it's right across valleyfair mall but there's a small parking lot in the back, which was super convenient. Once we walked in, we were immediately greeted by the guy and seated. My brother and I ended up ordering the pad thai (can't go wrong with that basic thai dish!) and the chicken jungle curry w/rice on the side. We also got a thai iced tea because who doesn't love this stuff right?? Our order came out nice n hot in about 10 minutes or so. The pad thai was sweeter than ones I've had before but the taste overall was good. No msg or lingering after taste. The jungle curry had a good kick (and I only ordered mild). The consistency was more watery tham expected. Not sure if that was how it's supposed to be because I've had red/green/panang curry before and it's usually thicker. The dish could've used more chicken (considering it's chicken curry...) but overall the balance of spice & flavor was good. Everything came out to be around $32 w/tax, so not too bad for dinner. The waiter was really nice and kept on checking up on us to see if we needed anything. I'd definitely come back again and try some of their other dishes!

    Found this place using Yelp after shopping at the mall. This is probably the best Thai food I have had in California. We ate here last Friday at about 8pm. The place was packed. I believe the owner was also our server. She took care to make sure we were seated away from the busy door. She took our order promptly and made sure we had everything we needed. She was even kind enough to let me practice my Thai a little. We ordered the Angel Wings, Crying Tiger, Drunken Noodles, and some sticky rice. Everything was very good. The portions were such that we had plenty to take home and make another meal of. I would go out of my way to eat here again.

    We love this place for a date night dinner. Been at least three times. Last night we had the roti curry, mango tango, and soft shelled crabs and the time before that it was the golden triangles (fried tofu), mango tango, and trout choo chee. The restaurant is small, but clean and well lit, and doesn't take reservations. We've been lucky to get a table with little wait, but I'm sure that everyone is not always that lucky. I think that the reason that I enjoy this restaurant so much is the curries / sauces are so sumptuous and tasty. The food is spicy in a savory way, not in a burn your mouth out way, which is good when I'm sharing dinner with the Wife who doesn't like extreme heat dishes that I'll sometimes enjoy. I enjoyed the Golden Triangles much more then the roti curry. The curry was very tasty, but the roti wasn't that interesting. The Mango Tango is my wife's favorite and does not disappoint and it was fun to eat the soft shell crabs with the shells battered, but the spicy sauce really made this dish shine. The staff at this restaurant are pleasant and friendly, but as we have been coming during traditional dinner rush times, they're pretty busy and don't have time to talk. That's not why I come here anyway, I come for the food and I have nothing but good things to say about it and the staff. We both shared a pot of their delicious sweet - spicy ginger tea.

    I want to start this review by saying how nice the staff was there, the lady when we walked in greeted us and asked us to take a seat, even though we said we were taking out she offered us a table and gave us water. When we paid for the food she gave us the check with the little brown candies you usually get when you EAT IN. :D:D:D:D We also got 10% off because they're having a grand opening deal. I'm here at work right now eating the food I picked up from there, we got the Roti yellow curry appetizer, so far this is the best yellow curry I've had for under 10 dollars EVER. They gave us a generous amount of curry and the little pastry triangles are delicious. We also ordered the hawaiian fried rice (fried rice with pineapple and shrimp.) This dish is also VERY GOOD. We have left over yellow curry that we're eating with it as well. This place is great for the small spot they have, I'll be frequenting here often for lunch :)

    This Thai Restaurant is soooo good! It is a small hole in the wall, past Santana Row in a small lot before you approach the freeway. My co-workers continue to rave about it, and I can't help but enjoy a different plate each time (pad thai, curry dish, sweet 'n sour), typically a lunch special while on my lunch hour that includes rice, salad, and a delicious coconut soup. Can't go without a refreshing Thai iced tea either. Service is great too, and the prices are pretty reasonable, especially during lunchtime. I better stop typing, as I'm craving it again, and just had pad thai earlier...

    I was here last night. Very small place. Seating area was bigger than a average living room space. I think 8 tables in all. Two workers seemed too busy to serve faster which is understandable BUT I work in a restaurant/bar 4-5 times bigger than this, with way more peoplel then this and we don't get our own section to service as americanized restaurants do it. . We haul ass and serve everyone LOL. .It was good enough to eat, not bad. Drunken noodle wasn't bad either but Krung Thai down the street that actually have 2 restaurants on winchester less than a mile away from each is more tastier and my favorite thai restaurant ever! There medium spicyness is way too spicy! Felt lingering hotness in my mouth. It was soooo cold and rainy last night and the wind that comes in when people wait, didn't even phase me. I was sweating like a pig. LOL. Not bad place to go just not on a weekend. Not worth the wait. =P

  • Dan G.

    Most Thai restaurants I have been to either have good curry or good pad thai. This restaurant has great curry and great pad thai. Very good food. However, be aware, this is a small restaurant. Good for a party of 4 or less. We went with 6 people and had to sit outside next to cars passing by on Stevens Creek Blvd. Only one waitress on Saturday night. Service was slow but friendly. Otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars.

    We realized we were hungry at 9:30 pm and looked up a nearby Thai restaurant that would still be open. At 9:55 or so, we made in to Siam Thai and the woman who was hostessing/serving was totally warm and welcoming to us. A couple of people came after us (and slightly after 10pm when they close) and she seated them also. I have been managing restaurants for years myself and I always have the utmost respect for people who make me feel welcome when I come in right at closing. We weren't rushed through the meal either, so she wasn't just in it for the money- she was a genuine nice, friendly person who was happy to feed us! I was happy with my coconut juice (it's a small point, but I am partial to the Thai restaurants that serve the fresh coconut with a straw as opposed to the canned with some coco meat added. Well worth the extra dollar or so). Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor- spring rolls, a mango salad that was spicier than usual which adds so much to the enjoyment, and a vegetarian Pad See-ew. yummy yummy! Presentation was perfect, the whole meal was great from start to finish. If you are at Valley Fair or Santana Row, this is a wonderful choice- especially since there will probably be less of a wait and it will be cheaper than many other choices you could make.

  • Shannon T.

    There are some goods and bads in their menu. The pad thai needs more texture to it, but the seasoning is well. The basil wings are too sweet for my taste buds and I do not recommend the red curry here. The curry smells weird as they put bamboo roots in them. Instead, order the green curry, it was delicious. The spicy thai fried rice and pad see ew were not well cooked and seasoned. The dish looked like crap and the taste is not balanced.

  • J B.

    I noticed the place is small and a little dirty. In the kitchen I saw a fish in a pan on the floor. The service is ok and the Papaya salad is good. The other rice dishes are too wet, but ok. They charge a 15% tip of families of 5 or more, strange for a small low class place.

    (3)

  • Christine C.

    This place was even better than I remember! The trick is to come on weekdays for lunch. The lunch specials are great! I got the yellow curry and received a small salad, egg roll, rice, and curry. This time, the spice was spot-on, and I didn't have to pay for extra rice. Even though the serving of curry was smaller for the lunch special, I still felt like I got a good amount. The serving size for non-lunch specials (at least for curry) are rather big anyway, so it's a lot to have if you're not sharing with others.

    (5)

  • Tony H.

    So far I have not had a bad meal here. Service can be slow at times, but the waiter is always friendly. I like this place because they have basil chicken wings. My favorite place would still be Shana Thai in Mountain View for the chicken wings, but it's too far. New Krung Thai is still one of my favorites, but they don't have the chicken wings. I'm not a fan of the angel wings at most Thai restaurants. This is a very small restaurant, so don't come during peak hours with a large group unless your taking the food to go.

    I like it here - if you're around Santana Row area, I think this is much better fare than what you'd get on Santana Row itself. It's totally worth the block and a half walk. I usually get the green curry, and it's delicious if a little more watery than I'm used to. My friend got the pad see ew, which was also really tasty. Everything just tasted fresh, and wasn't as oily as a lot of other places I go to for Thai food. The medium and hot spicy levels have a nice kick to it, which is an added plus. Pro tip: if you dunk any noodles you order into the curries, it makes the noodles extra delicious! There is a parking lot in the back, and a small number of parking in a bottom garage that isn't immediately viewable. The parking garage is a little shady and poorly lit, but we weren't broken into, so I figure it's still an option if street parking isn't immediately available.

    This place is poppin' during lunch hours! I came here around 1pm to fulfill my Thai food craving and the restaurant was packed! But it is easy to see why people love this place. The food is delicious, the portions are huge, and the lunch special is irresistible! The lunch specials start at $7.95 and have a variety of 23 dishes! It's served with soup, an eggroll, and salad as well! I usually order Pad See Ew when I eat Thai food, but I noticed that most people were eating Pad Thai so I decided to give it a shot! I'm not usually a big Pad Thai fan, but this one really hit the spot. Usually I don't order it because it's dry and not as flavorful, but Siam Fine's Pad Thai was the opposite! It didn't even look like you're typical pale colored noodles. This one was red and the flavors stood out! The sides were also good, especially the soup - I'm not sure what it was. Since the restaurant was so crowded, the service wasn't great but I'll cut them some slack. I could tell they were really trying! There were only two servers and both were running around the restaurant trying to satisfy all their customers! I felt so bad watching them run around with the lunch sides and not knowing which tables already received them. Needless to say, I am pretty sure this is going to be my go-to Thai restaurant when I'm in town!

    Ran my errands and saw this Thai gem near Valley Fair and had to stop to try it. The place is small, but the food I ordered was excellent! I had everything spicy, and at first bite, it felt like they held back. Once I kept eating though, the heat had crept up on me. I was sweating! They definitely didn't worry about the spice if you ask for spicy like some place which is good for those that don't mind the heat. The service was attentive and very detailed. I over heard the waiter tell the waitress that since my main dish was vegetarian, I probably wanted the papaya salad to be so too (he didn't know I understood), so she came back to ask me. I was impressed. I will definitely be back to try other dishes. The dishes I had were ginger vegetables with tofu and papaya salad. Plenty left for me to take home to enjoy that night too :D.

    I have been visiting this place for quick lunches fairly regularly since my last review, and I have yet to be disappointed. -The wait is rarely more than 2-4 minutes. -The food is excellent--green curry is my new favorite! -The service is quick and painless -The lunch specials are well-priced and the portions adequate. Love Siam Thai! Will keep going back!

    It's a warm autumn day and I'm craving a green mango salad for lunch. Siam Fine Thai it is! I ordered green mango salad and their red dragon noodles lunch special. My green mango salad was delicious, a bit too sweet for my liking. It also comes with whole cashews that I wish I asked them to omit. The mango was too ripe therefore it didn't have a big crunch to the salad. The sauce was very sweet and sour. I order spicy but it tasted mild. Its still the only place in the area that I eat mango salad. The red dragon noodle lunch special came with soup and salad. The soup was a sweet corn Tom yum soup with coconut milk. It was okay, sort of bland but had a rich coconut flavor. The salad was an ordinary green salad with honey mustard dressing, random. My noodles came out as red curry.... They corrected that immediately. By the time I got it though, I was ready to leave. So I asked for it to go. I also ordered Thai tea and they didn't give it to me till half way through my meal... My friend had to remind them /).- service was off their game. When I got home I dug into the stir-fry red devil noodles and they weren't extra spicy like I requested. It looked like pad see ew tossed in a red chili sauce. The flavor was fragrant of basil but didn't have the spice factor I was hoping for. The thick rice noodles taste like they were suppose to be a variation version of Pad Thai. Very sweet and tangy noodles. I'll pass next time. I recommend Siam Fine Thai to anyone who loves sweet and sour Thai food. Warning, the lunch specials are kind've small.

    Wow finally a great Thai restaurant! I always saw this place when going to Valley Fair but never knew how good this place was. Oh man I was missing out! Everything we've ordered has been so delicious! We always order so much for leftovers which never lasts long in the fridge. Let me just say that their drunken noodles with pork are our fav! It's spicy and cooked to perfection. The cashew chicken super good! The fried calamari with sweet chili sauce, AMAZING! Their Thai iced tea and coffee are really tasty as well. Their sticky rice with magi is another must to order. This is my favorite Thai place in the Bay Area!

    I eat here a few times a month, this place is pretty small inside, most of the time there is wait less than 30mins or so. But if you are lucky you can be seated right away. The service is OK when the place is packed service can get a little slow because there is usually only 2 people serving. I've had most of the curries, my favorite is the duck curry, papaya salad is nice and spicy and very good. I've had the pineapple fried rice and the pad thai here all equally well done. Tom Yum Soup is good when made spicy. Thai Tea is OK. This is a good Thai restaurant that is located across the street from valley fair mall. I'll be back soon :-)

    Very small place, need to go early or will need to wait. Tango mango is OK. Soup tom khar is good, the usual. Pattaya paradise is not bad, lots of scallop, wouldn't order again. Tai tea is not good, too watery.

    I used to eat here a couple of times a month, before it became so busy. I'm glad that the restaurant is finally getting the attention it deserves - the food is great and the couple who owns the place are such nice people. They've always given me attentive and friendly service. The restaurant is small, so the wait can be long if they are busy. The service is also a little more spotty now since they've hired on more people, and it really depends on who you get. Hopefully this is just growing pains of a restaurant that is getting used to being a popular dining spot. :) The food is still delicious and they are now my go-to place to get Thai takeout. Some of my favorite dishes: - Crab fried rice - Pad Thai with prawns - Drunken noodle - See Ew noodle - Spicy catfish - Roti curry with Panang curry

  • Jennifer V.

    Pad see ew, Pad thai - given basics that were top notch, drunk noodles were good too. My friend ordered some seafood dish which she loved. I had the tofu yellow curry, and it was deliciousss, but I hate it when you have to order extra rice the side! WHY? I had a table for 10 in their tiny place and they did a great job of accommodating my party! It was for my birthday and it was great. Everyone's food was delicious, no one had complaints on that count. They only funny instances of the night: -one of our glasses our water tasted like they didn't rinse out the cleaning agent.haha -towards the end of the meal, the kitchen had some sort of chili powder explosion and the restaurant had a thick chili air that made me choke and cough from just breathing; we were really close to the kitchen. It's out of the way to get to, but I loved it :)

    I'm always looking for great Thai food no matter what city I'm visiting so I did a Yelp search and this restaurant had high marks. The place is very small but I was seated quickly. Service was slow but not rude which seems to be the norm nowadays. I had chicken satay, chicken coconut soup, panang chicken, and sweet and spicy shrimp. Portions were small so take that into consideration when ordering. Food temperature and quality was quite good but all three dishes seemed to taste nearly identical which was odd. I'd like to have seen greater variance in the flavors. The real shocker was the price. With two of us dining the bill was nearly $65 and neither of us had drinks. Compared to other Thai restaurants I've eaten at the pricing here was considerably more expensive especially given the small portions. The food was good but the bang for the buck just isn't there.

    I was planning a day at the mall and decided to try out Siam which is conveniently located across the street. The parking lot in the back is limited but big plus for the underground parking. The restaurant is fairly small but its nice and clean and most importantly the food was delicious. Highly recommend the Pad See Ew with seafood!! Oh and for big spicy lovers like me I suggest asking for hot! I got medium spicy and it tasted like mild. The lady that works here (possibly the owner) is very nice and was great on checking on our table:)

    Teeny tiny vaginey location! (it's right on busy ass Stevens Creek Boulevard, past HWY 17) Service here is great, no complaint. Staff are Thai folks who can't speak English which means your food is probably gonna come out pretty spicy & authentic! Betty N. and I came here for my ONCE a week cheat meal. And the crazy thing is, Betty just ate at another good Asian restaurant 2 hours before meeting up with me...surprisingly she scarfed down a lot of the grub here. Which means, fellow foodies, that the food here will not disappoint. We had the following: 1. Angel Wings - fried chicken goodness w/ a delicious sweet dipping sauce! 2. Mild (still spicy) Seafood Soup - you can NEVER go wrong with a Thai soup even without the coconut milk. Mmmmm yeah, I love soup like I love s-e-x. :) 3. Sea Bass Green Curry w/ a side of brown rice - Curry? Where?! I could funnel that shizz through anything and drink it all up. YUMMY! 4. Drunken Noodles w/ seafood combination - these noodles were one of a kind! They just tasted so fatty, full and flavorful. 5. Sticky rice & mangoes - Thai desserts make me wanna do a dessert booty poppin dance! Love, love LOVE sticky rice. This one didn't come with the coconut milk...but it still tasted delicious. All in all a great experience here. Not as cheap as the Thai food I've had back home in the OC...but this will do.

    A hole in the wall that is definitely worth checking out after a long day of nearby shopping. For a low price, you get a cute little restaurant with very friendly and appreciative service. However, the size of the restaurant itself can mean for a little bit of a wait during busy times, an itty bitty parking lot in the rear and mostly watching cars go by rather than people watching. You get to pick the level of spice for all your dishes, which is wonderful for me because I'm such a spice lover. My party of 3 ordered the medium spice beef see ew, yellow curry chicken, jasmine rice, and thai iced tea. Everything tasted authentic and was SO GOOD. Because we did it family style, it only came out to about $8 per person and with leftovers as well. I would even make a special trip to come back and check out more of their menu!

    I've dined in-house here a few years ago, and recently got take-out twice in the past month. My favorite thing about Thai food is the Tom Yum soup. Mmmm. Especially on a chilly day. I recall when I dined in-house, the soup was great. In the past month, the soup was still great when I took it home with me. The only other thing I recall about my dining experience a few years back, was that the chicken satay wasn't the best, but that could've changed by now. Anyways, I've always been drawn to the small restaurant with it's Christmas lights on the Stevens Creek strip when I leave work at Santana Row... the interior is so small that it's like you're in someone's kitchen, and I actually like it. I know I use the word "cozy" a lot, and this place is definitely that, though my boyfriend and I generally like to get take-out so we can relax in front of the TV and then pass out when we are too full. In the past month, we ordered: Tom Yum: 'Nuff said. Hit the spot. This most recent time, I got it with extra mushrooms and tofu instead of chicken, which I liked better as the chicken tends to overcook a bit in the soup. Pad Thai w/ Shrimp: The acidity was on point and just spicy enough, however, the noodles were a little dry. Still delicious. Basil Wing: We tried to order these the first time we got take-out, but they gave us the Basil Chicken instead (was alright, little dry). This time, they got the order right, and it was very tastey. The wings weren't as crunchy as I'd prefer them to be, but the sauce was tangy and great. Summer Rolls: My ONLY complaint is that they were rolled too thick. I don't want to have to try and keep all the stuffing from falling out because I couldn't fit everything into my mouth in one bite. I liked the big chunks of fresh shrimp and pork. Spring Rolls: Amazing. Just right. Perfectly sized and crunchy and hot and greasy. :) I wish they were healthy... because I'd live off of these if I could. The staff is friendly, especially the gentleman who took my order last night. Parking is pretty easy. They have a lot right behind the building. I definitely recommend this place for your hot and spicy cravings!

    I didn't want to leave out Siam in my first and possibly only wave of SF Yelp reviews because this place is amazing. Alright, first, we came in at 9:45 and they close at 10:00. We were also super let down because we didn't get to go to either Boiling Crabs. Siam quickly changed the mood. Our party of four ordered chicken pad thai, beef pad see ew, chicken tom yum soup, green curry sea bass, and barbecue chicken. The only thing that was forgettable was the barbecue chicken. Everything else had differing, distinct flavors to it. In particular, I really liked the green curry (sea bass was forgettable) and the pad thai, which was a little sweet. I left off pad see ew because I think it is a little hard to screw that dish up. The service was awesome and genuinely friendly despite our circumstance and the five dishes cost a shade under $80 after tip and tax. Can't be beat. Also, I forget to mention that the Thai tea here is the bomb.

    MY GO TO PLACE FOR A QUICK THAI FOOD FIX! This place is definitely my favorite thai restaurant around the area! The price is fairly cheap for the amount and the food is flavorful and delicious. I love their curry (I've tried green and red, yet to try yellow) with fish and squid. The squid and fish are both really fresh and delicious. The Tom Kha soup here is great as well, get it with seafood and you are in for a treat. I've always come here for lunch, so I'm not sure how dinner is. The lunch special here is great. The special comes with salad, soup (very decent), crispy wonton, and eggroll. For less than $10 with such great flavor and quantity, it's definitely a steal. The thai-iced tea here is a bit too sweet for my taste, nevertheless, still good. The service here is good, especially the guy- he's extremely nice and observant. The place is small, so might not be as suitable for larger groups. Definitely recommend this place and will keep coming back!!

    I rarely go out for dinner (I have little kids), but tonight my husband and I had the rare opportunity to take Fr. Mitch Pacwa out (Catholic priest on EWTN). He requested thai food. Naturally, I wanted the best, most authentic thai I could find. Since I'm no thai food expert, I used yelp to help me find a good restaurant and found this place. I showed up a little early so by the time my party of 10 arrived, we'd have a table. The manager was a perfect gentleman and did all he could to make sure we were seated quickly. Sure enough he had it ready with perfect timing. The waitress had a delightful smile and brought water and food with good time. I had the Pleasant Garlic and Coconut, my husband had Sea bass Delight and Sticky Rice Mango. Both were delicious with good portion sizes. It was a warm day, but still comfortable in there. The whole party was pleased with the meal and the experience. This was our first time there, but I think my husband and I will make it a point to go back in the future.

    Siam Fine Thai Cuisine is the best Thai restaurant that I have been to in the Bay Area. The reason? They offer great Thai food and don't skimp on the ingredients. I had the seafood combo green curry. The curry was very high quality and obviously made in house. The seafood selection was much greater than any other restaurant that I have been to. Instead of just shrimp, there was shrimp, scallops, fried fish and squid. They even give out tangy and sweet Thai candies at the end of your meal.

    Came here with the boy on a lunch date because we'd passed by here SO many times, and each time, it was packed! Lunch menu is really worth it. I think it was $9/entree [chicken, beef, pork... if you got shrimp/seafood, it was a bit more], but that included an entree, salad, and soup. We ended up getting the chicken yellow curry and beef angry Thai [yeah I had no idea what it was]. Salad dressing was strange, but really good and filling. The soup [we got some vegetable soup... I don't know what it was, though :/ Sorry!] was really good, too. I didn't finish mine though, because the main dishes came out! I'm really glad we came around lunch because the lunch portion was just right. I still had some leftovers, but trust me, it wasn't because my food lacked flavor. Yellow curry had the perfect balance of spicy&sweet, and the Angry Thai was really good, too. I was so full at the end, I couldn't even order dessert, and I never pass up a chance for mango sticky rice. For the amount of food you get, this place is so worth it. Now I know why it's always full! [That, and it's tiny... but not uncomfortably so!] Yum. Glad I have a new Thai place to go to! (:

    I was in a hurry and I was craving some yellow curry. The place that I usually go to was closed. I heard about Siam FineThai Cuisine and I read the favorable reviews so I decided to check it out since I was in San Jose on Santana Row. The place is pretty small and it was crowded but it was well worth the 10 or so minute wait. I ordered the yellow curry that I was craving with vegetables and tofu. I have to say that it was so good that it exceeded my expectations and with just the right measure of spiciness. They were temporarily out of the brown rice and the summer rolls that I tried to order. I got there at about 2 in the afternoon so apparently they had run out of the rice and the rolls during the earlier lunch hour. I could understand that. It didn't bother me because the busy staff was very attentive and nice about everything. The pad see ew noodles were so good that I didn't dwell on the rice and the rolls anymore. The servings are plentiful and I have to admit that I gorged myself. I cant wait to go back and to try other things on the menu. Next time I guarantee that I won't be in such a hurry.

    Don't judge a book by its cover! This restaurant looks tiny and I would not have even seen it if my friend hadn't told me about it. Hands down the best thai food I have ever had! I have been to many Thai places and nothing can compare. Everything I have tried here is flavorful and they give big portions. The servers there are nice and very welcoming as well. They also have great lunch specials which come with a soup and salad. Prices are good as well! I've tried most of the things on the menu and nothing has disappointed me yet. Krung Thai doesn't even come close to this place!

    This review is for my friend Mari This place is super super small and easy to miss. It's in the plaza just pass Santana Row (do NOT pass 880, I made the mistake). Focus on your right-hand size and you will see it, hopefully. Food here gets a 4-stars [round up version, more like 3.5 in my book] (although to be honest, I was talking way too much to notice the actual flavor of food) Appetizer: Papaya Salad - it's not that great, too much flavor and too watery Fried Calamari - pretty good, but I've never had bad calamari before Dishes (Most to least favorite): Green curry duck -- 5 STARS!! Must TRY! We wanted to order roasted duck curry and green curry so we finally settled on getting this. The curry is a bit sweet and the duck has a distinct taste. The dish also came with eggplant, which made it even more awesome. Pattaya Paradise - 4.5 STARS!! This is big scallops with basil in regular Thai sauce (soy, slightly spicy, lots of flavors). In my opinion, the scallops are slightly undercooked so the center was still a little soft, but this does not affect how yummy they were. See Ew -- 3 STARS!! Don't get this here. Actually, I don't believe you can make the combination of wide rice noodle, egg, broccoli and soy-sauce taste bad, unless there's something seriously wrong with you. I feel like we got something else but I can't remember at all now. Price - it's not too bad. Acceptable according to regular Thai food standard, around $10-15 for regular dish, a bit less for appetizers and a bit more for seafood. Service- iffy 3 stars. I read some reviews that said they had extraordinary service here. I'm going to have to disagree. Starting with making the reservation, the lady sounded impatient. Okay it's not all her fault, since I reserved for 6-people and there are only 2 tables that can actually fit that many people. Another friend prepared cake for Mari (birthday girl) and they were nice enough to light the candles and provide us some plates and utensils. However, there's something strange about the service here, or more like something is missing. It's not that they are not nice, but rather that they are not always present and that they are not really considerate. It's difficult to describe but I just didn't feel welcomed. Anyway, personal experience, just read it and forget it and wish you have better luck than us. Also, we were seated next to the wall that separates the dining area and the kitchen so we can hear and smell everything from the kitchen. It was actually a great experience because it makes you feel like your food is freshly prepared. In conclusion, you should give it a try if you are into Thai food and you happen to be in the area. And to those who ever reads my reviews, thank you and yes, I take my reviews very seriously because I love FOOD!

    I always passed by this little hole in the wall Thai place whenever I go to the mall or on my way to the freeway.. I never thought about stopping by this place since it looked inconvenient and it was just on the streets.. Little did I know, we tried this Thai place last Friday, and I was surely wrong about everything!! This place was packed with people waiting outside the door. The venue is clean and minimal decor but the service was quick and efficient on all the orders. We parked across the street near Bank of America, but I think they have a parking spot in the back of the building.. I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 plates that we ordered 1. Pad See ew with beef medium spicy and 2. drunken noodles with high spicy... It was very satisfying and a very good amount for 2 people. I can't say much about their other food since noodles are always my default and you can never go wrong with that. Total came out to around $22.. I would definietely come back here again when I feel like venturing off the row.....Great alternative if you don't want to wait for Krung Thai across the street!

    This place was great. Went for lunch, and enjoyed great food and great service. Even though they were busy, we were quickly seated and meals brought promptly. Ordered thai basil from lunch menu and included soup, spring rkll, etc. Overall a great value. The main dish was also very tasty (spicy, but good).

  • Christina L.

    This place is awesome. I would definitely recommend the drunk noodles, it was delish. My group liked the dish I chose. Yay me! My friend got the salmon... for a $16 dish, you'd think that it wouldn't be the same sauce as the red curry. We basically paid an extra $6 for overcooked salmon that was probably frozen, no bueno. I can get a decent piece of salmon from Ranch 99 for $6 and make it better. The service was okay. They didn't see that we obviously needed a rice refill when we had 3 dishes of curry on the table. The restaurant isn't that big, but it gets crowded. They also have a coconut drink that looks yummy! The location is works well, esp since they have a parking lot in the back. It is hard to miss it on the street if you don't know where it't located though. Coming off the freeway, we had to make a U-turn because we couldn't get into the left lane fast enough. I would recommend this place, just not the seafood. For a restaurant near Santana Row, you definitely can't beat the price.

    Came here with one of my mangers at work for lunch. Walked in and luckily there were 2 tables open. After 12:20 this place is really busy. I ordered the chicken Pad Thai and Thai Iced tea. The Pad Thai was delicious,fresh and very flavorful. I will def be coming back to try different items on the menu.

    (4)

  • Supria G.

    The food was great. We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, and panang nuer with chicken, both spicy. Very satisfied with the quality and quantity of food. The downside is that we had to flag down one of the two servers for everything (water, ordering food, asking for sauce, getting boxes, etc), service was not up to par. It seems like a better place to do take out from than eating at the restaurant.

  • Stephanie R.

    I judge all Thai restaurants by their Pad See Ew. I tried Thaibodia -- they put carrots in it (what the hell, yo?). I tried New Krung, and it was sort of bland and dry. I tried a few of the other places in the hood and all were equally lackluster. Luckily, I found Siam. It's always packed and everything I've tried has been really good, and the Pad See Ew is up to par. There are a few caveats, though. I don't think I'd eat in -- it's small and so crowded sometimes that it's best to call in an order and pick it up. The parking is also weird. There's a tiny lot and a few street spaces, but otherwise nothing. It's also a little hard to get to/out of. You may need to make a U-turn or go through the back of Santana Row to return to Stevens Creek if you need to head towards Winchester.

  • Ron K.

    I used to like this place when they first opened but I think the food has gone down hill, and especially the customer service has really taken a tail spin. The quality of the food has become really erratic and it's frustrating to take guests here because they will order something that can be great or horrible depending on when you go. The veggie items are pretty good but the meat dishes can be terrible. I can live with some of that that but lately the service has been terrible. For example I go to eat a late lunch and arrive before 3pm and was given a lunch menu. Then they take forever to come and ask what you want and when you order. So by the time they come by to ask what you want it's past 3 pm by like 3 minutes. So then they tell you you can't order off the lunch menu they give you. They then decide to take your lunch menu come back to the table to demand to know what you want to order even though you haven't even seen the other menu. I simply told them I arrived before 3pm and why not just be realistic and take my order. No not these people. They instead give me the reprimand that if they do it for me then others will demand it and so that is the way it is period. She then takes off to answer the phone and I politely leave because it was not worth dealing with these people. Sorry but they obviously are not interested in pleasing their customers and I have since lost my interest in taking my time to go here again with all the other good restaurants in the area. I had been coming here for a while but I'm now pretty much done with this place. In history Siam was replaced by Thailand and I'm afraid that's going to be the case with this place. 7/11/13 In response to Siam's post below seems very typical in all their other responses to bad reviews which is to blame the customer. The idea that I always come in for late lunches is absolutely incorrect, in fact I've never come in before even close to 3 pm. Second I knew what I wanted to order after 2 minutes because I've been there many times and know what I want. Of course they never seem to think that maybe they were extremely slow to take my order before 3 pm. . Also she suggests I only want the lunch special because it's a good deal is dead wrong in that I have gone many times in the evening with friends and I never expect to order lunch specials like she insinuates. To me it sounds more like profit is on the mind of Siam when not allowing these lunch specials??? Finally they say why I come when I think the food is bad? I never said it was bad i said it was erratic when with friends and that I did like their veggie items. I suggest Siam go back to 101 customer service school which say to be successful you must remember that the customer ALWAYS comes first:)

    This is my favorite Thai place EVER! I love their chicken Pad Thai. Panang Curry is also really great. The lunch special is huge, and costs less than $9 I think. I used to come here on tuesdays with a friend for dinner every week. They offer 10% off on tuesdays and possibly wednesdays. Now that I'm a full time student and mother of 2, I order to go from here all the time. I have never been disappointed with my food. The best part is ,the service is great and they are so friendly. They remember my name, my favorite dish, even my children's names. I highly recommend this place.

  • Thomas Z.

    The only reason I'm not giving five stars-and suck it if you think that's an 'over' rating-is because this place is kind of small in size. But what it lacks in size, parking kind of sucks too, it makes up for in excellent service and good food. I've only been to three different Thai restaurants, so keep that in mind, but the food was good. I had the Pad Thai with chicken, and the guy working there gave us some awesome tea, for free I might add, and they are just really polite. By the way, the food sitting outside and on the table inside is an 'offering'-so these folks are very traditional. Good place, should check it out.

  • Integrus I.

    Better than average, but better than Krung Thai. Siam has quality foods, but something is missing. They need to use more herbs, spices....everything tastes good but does not go beyond my expectations. Who said this place is authentic? No, this is all Americanized Thai food.

  • Awez S.

    I am puzzled about all the raving reviews. This is an OK restaurant but not exceptional (definitely a step below Bai Tong in Saratoga). If you crave food swimming in oil this place would work - otherwise I would avoid it. We had: Tom Khar soup - Excellent Chicken Satay - worst I ever tasted - raw spices, under done, weird smell Spring Rolls - should be called Oil Rolls Pad See Eew - nopt bad but dripping in oil Sea Bass in green curry - green curry is good but over powers the fish completely - best to get the curry with chicken Crispy catfish/eggplant - now I am sounding broken, if oil is your thing and not something that makes you throw up - it's great

    I am a total foodie. This place satisfies. Spent this past Friday haunting tha Row while my car was being serviced at Steven's Creek Automotive (blatant plug, yes) and after waking from my nap and PinkBerry, I decided to walk about, winding up at Siam Fine Thai Cuisine. I'm not going to mince words. This place gets my 3 Diamond E's: Exceptional service, Exquisite food, Eco-gastronomical (fiscal and sustainable). I made that up, so don't even think about borrowing it. I take my food descriptors seriously, folks. Let me start by saying that I am a sucker for a nice smile and eye contact, and that is exactly what I received upon walking into this little spot on Bayview @ Stevens Creek Blv at 1500-right as the lunch hour ended. Guess what? This nice guy invited me in and offered to serve me (loving it) from the lunch menu. I'll be brief...let's just say, 1 hour later (I take my time when things hit my palate just right...) I was fat and happy. Shrimp Panang with coconut creme garnish, Tom soup, perfectly fried spring road (with delicate baby sprouts--my favorite) with perfectly steamed lavender rice, and a crisp, light wonton accompanied the finest, slighty sweet-salty orange sauce. Now here is the kicker and the cincher: Lunch time, right? No chop-chop lunch plate here...All were served on the finest china--Royal Kingdom, made in Thailand (Did I say it was 3pm in the afternoon?). This place is aptly named. This place freaking rocks. As I sat and sipped my hot tea postprandial, I noticed the shyest, yet sweetest mid-20s girl leaving to run an errand. I stopped her (in deep reverence) and asked if she, indeed, were the cook of such a fabulous meal? Although shy, she took tremendous pride in knowing that her food and talent delighted me so. Indeed, they did. So what's a girl to do? I will confess to my abhorrent foodie habit: Of course, I will now continue to eat there at least twice a week, starting tomorrow until I burn out--kinda like my relationships. Oh well, it's always good when the gettin' is good. Then it's on to another palate pleaser....A foodie's gotta do what a foodie's gotta do...Head over, order, dine-in, and enjoy; just please, don't take my table.

    I have only had the Pad Thai here. It is the best I have been able to find in the area. I've had it twice. They have several levels of spice to choose from. The first time I had the chicken pad thai it was moist and tender. The second time it was a little on the dry side (my biggest issue with finding good pad thai).

    I love this place. I found it randomly through Yelp and I'm really glad I did. It's very small inside but surprisingly doesn't feel too cramped. The food always comes out fast and tastes fantastic. I always get the green papaya salad and summer rolls, and the plate garnishes have a nice gourmet touch. The pacific rim curry is also excellent. Also, try the ginger tea.

    This restaurant is sooo good. They have excellent food and very friendly servers. The place is very small so there isn't very much seating but so far my husband and I haven't had any trouble getting seated. They are located in a strip mall, sort of, but there is parking in the back. It is also really easy to walk here from Santana Row.

    thanks to yelp I found this place to eat for dinner tonight! It is a very small place so expect some wait time! But I have to say the food was very delicious! My boyfriend and I started out with the mango salad. It is a pretty big portion. The sauce was nice, and nice touch with the cashews. We also got the "crying tiger", basically grilled beef. Whatever sauce they used was yummmmy!!! Next came the seafood pad thai. I don't think I've seen seafood combo pad thai anywhere else. A good portion of prawns, squid, scallops, and a piece of fish. Last but not least the roast duck curry. It is probably one of the biggest portion of duck curry i've ever had. the only thing i would say is its a bit on the fattening side. actually pieces of duck meat only had 2 pieces. another disappointing thing was they ran out of mangos so we couldnt have sticky rice with mango for dessert. so we brought everything back and can have another meal the next day!! I will definitely go back again!!

    My girlfriend says the Drunken Noodles are the best she has found on the west coast (SF, Seattle, Vancouver) and the best outside of Thailand. The yellow curry and cashew chicken were also excellent. The spring rolls had absolutely no oil residue at all and were stellar. Definitely a place to go again.

    Have been going here for years. Wish they weren't next to a swimming pool cuz the parking lot gets crowded. Panang-anything is to die for. All curries are truly exceptional. Food is super-fresh, vivid, pure. No fillers or over-saucing. Brown rice is outstanding. Sticky rice, too! Desserts really good.

    I've been here twice now... once eating in and once takeout. Eat-in: This was my first experience and it was AMAZING! The Drunken Noodles are AMAZING. The yellow curry was light & tasty and done PERFECTLY. The Cashew Chicken was VERY tasty and wonderful as well. Had the sampler platter for an appetizer and I loved everything EXCEPT I wasn't a big fan of the fish cakes. The texture was not good for me, but I'd never had them before, so I don't know if it was just these, or fish cakes in general. Takeout: I wanted to get several things to last me several days and I was NOT disappointed. First, I tried the Tom Khar soup. Let me say... AMAZING! So comforting and tasty. I will definitely get this next time, the largest size they have and eat it for as long as I can! I also got the Hot Basil with Chicken. It was Wonderful and tasty. I got it "medium spice" and it was very nice. Not bland in the least, but didn't leave my mouth burning. I also got the Spicy Fried Rice with Chicken (ordered "spicy"). This is probably the least favorite thing I've ordered, but even saying that, it was good. If you want spicy, THIS IS IT! I love spicy, but this had my eyes watering like mad. the rice itself was a bit too "squishy" for me, but the flavors were still great. I love this place, and I plan to go back again and again! I highly recommend it.

    I have to admit, the food here was very good. We had the Yellow Curry, Pad Thai, and Fried Calamari. I left the restaurant very satisfied and full. The lady (within the restaurant photo) was very nice and patient. She didn't mind that I sat a while and waited on a friend. In the mean time, she offered me water. The customer service was superb. The restaurant is within walking distance of both Santana Row and Valley Fair. It's a cozy, clean, little place with a pleasant atmosphere (refer to photo). This place is relatively new due to their "Grand Opening" sign (as of the date of this review). There is a 10% off deal. The cost of the dishes are definitely reasonable and you can some great dishes for under $10 each. If I'm going to be in the area again, I'd definitely go here.

    I came here yesterday for the first time and had a veggie pad thai to go. It was the the most delicious pad thai I've EVER had! It was packed with so much flavor and just the right amount of spice (you get to choose how spicy you want it. I got medium). The guy working there was really polite and nice. Price is pretty average for a Thai restaurant. They gave me 15% off of my order, which I think is a Wednesday special or something. Plus I love that they were open at 3:30pm on a weekday since most Thai places I know of are closed for their lunch break then. Which is a big plus for late lunch eaters like me who are craving Thai.

    After the last few visits to both the Krung Thais in the area being a lot worse than we remembered, we decided to find a new Thai place to visit. We got lucky when we came on a night with only 1 other table being occupied. The food was amazingly good! And, the lady working there was so friendly! We thought we found a hidden gem.. until all the other nights we've gone back it's PACKED!

    i didn't know about this place until i saw it on yelp through my iphone. hurray for current location-based searches! it's right across from valley fair on the stevens creek side - convenient when you're done shopping. i'm so glad i ate here because i couldn't remember the last place that i had good thai food at. i almost went to krung thai but recall from so many years ago it was so-so. Siam is what i expect all thai restaurants to taste like. we ordered shrimp pad thai, green curry with seabass and eggplant (special of the day), and chicken with basil. all three were incredibly tasty. the pad thai was flavorful and sweet, just the way i like it. (often it is bland and not flavorful enough). i'm not a big fan of seabass so i was plenty happy with just the green curry and eggplant plant. i didn't know i liked green curry until i had it here (and the eggplant had such a nice soft texture). the chicken with basil had a very tasty soy-based sauce but the chicken was a little on the dry side. took the left overs home and they were still very good several days later. minus one star for taking so long to give us the menus (think they forgot about us but we were right by the kitchen) and also the restaurant is very small (on a Sat, there were already people waiting when we were leaving). otherwise the food was 5 stars.

    What a cute little place! Service is great, never been to an Asian restaurant with such good service. Very polite, attentive, and they remembered us the second time we went in. Just a nice feeling when they welcome you with "Hey, welcome back!" Food was great too, everything we had was delicious...curry, roti, tom khar soup. And the best part is, 15% off the whole bill Tuesdays and Wednesdays and you don't even have to ask for it, they give it to you automatically! Can't wait to go back! :)

    This place is a real find! I've always enjoyed Thai food, but have never tasted anything as fresh as what I've had at Siam Fine Thai Cuisine. The soft shell crab and sea bass specialties are exquisite, and the coconut juice is refreshing and delicious. The restaurant is cozy and unpretentious, simply yet tastefully decorated, and the people are gracious and warm. Even though it is a small place, it doesn't get too noisy because the food is so good, everyone is too busy eating!

    wow, i thought i had written a review for siam already, since i'm a self-proclaimed regular. i come in here at least once every few weeks for dinner, if not more and i haven't been disappointed or unsatisfied yet! *knocks on wood* the lady remembers us, and now that i think of it i feel like a jerk because i'm not sure if she's the owner or manager! a few times back when we came in and had to wait a bit, she offered us complimentary drinks for waiting which i thought was awesome. she remembered what my bf drank and then asked me if i was okay with caffeine bc she remembered usually i just drink water, then brought me an iced thai coffee - it was delish! truth be told, i'm a bit peeved that all the yelpers have outed my beloved thai place and its starting to get so crowded that i've been doin more takeout as of late (they've gotten everything on the orders right so far!). however, i couldn't be happier for the business because their food is fantastic! every one who i've brought here has really liked the food as well. i've tried a lot on their menu, some faves: -sweet potato appetizer - sweet potato fries but better! -gang jued soup - my bf is addicted to this stuff -cashew lover - will definitely turn you into one if youre not already -silver noodle and yellow curry - try it with chicken AND tofu - yum! -anything off the fried rice or noodle section -sticky rice with mango! sometimes i just order this to pick up service is super nice, sooo polite it's ridiculous. they can get really busy so be patient, the place is pretty small, i would say try not to come with a group bigger than 4 people during busy times otherwise you'll be waiting a while. ideal for couples or quads. good amount of parking in the back. in the summer they have a couple of tables so you can eat outside. LOVE that! the inside is clean and cozy with twinkley lights. it does get chilly inside so bring a sweater or order the soup! overall, my favorite spot in the area and it would take A LOT to get me to stop goin here. love it!

    Very good food and prompt service. Their fish dish is amazing, especially their steamed lime fish. The only drawback is their price, which is on the upper side. They do provide some discounts for dinner on Tue and Wed. Try to get a meal here while you shop in Santana Row or Valley Fair instead of going to their food court (which selection is horrible).

    This is easily one of the finest Thai cuisines I've been to. I had the Roasted Duck curry (with pineapple and grapes!) and that was delicious! It's a small place, but the food is fresh and the service is great.

  • K R.

    After spending a year in Thailand, I came back to the bay area accustomed to pad thai 3 times a week. I tried every Thai restaurant nearby and was consistently disappointed with the food. Even the restaurant that had been my favorite prior to my trip to Thailand seemed bland. I was SO excited when I found Siam Fine Thai (thanks to all you yelpers giving it good reviews). I won't claim to know whether it is authentic or not, but after eating Thai food in Thailand, this was my favorite place to come back to. I've had pad thai, pad see-ew, mango salad, and several stir fries and curries and thought they were all delicious. The restaurant is small but there are always tables and the food seems to be pretty fast. There are a few tables outside but it's on a pretty main street so sitting outside isn't very peaceful. Parking lot in back always has space.

    I have eaten some of the best tasting Thai food. I lived in Los Angeles for 22 years, where Thai food is a way of life. When I moved to San Jose, I looked far and wide for a comparable experience. I finally found it today, at Siam Thai. First, the service was gracious and friendly. They were quick to seat us and offer drinks. Soon thereafter we ordered Mussamun Beef Curry, Pad Thai with chicken, Spring Rolls, two Thai iced teas, and an Arny Palmer (for the Little One). The iced teas come in a pint glass, very generous. The rolls (six in all for $6.95) were not greasy, were stuffed with cabbage, and had a light flavor that was easy to finish. I measure a Thai restaurant by its Pad Thai. If it's good, then I branch out from there. I was delighted. The noodles were perfect, a side of crushed peanuts, carrots, tofu, etc. made it a full meal I finished in record time. I look forward to returning and trying their other dishes. By the bye, there was nice touch on the patio: an offering. It shows a dedication not only to the living, but the spirit world. Good karma for those who follow my advice: eat there and eat soon.

  • Kate R.

    I love Thai food and have tried many different restaurants around the bay area. This place is, by far, my favorite. I love that you can customize the main dishes to include any type of meat or tofu. I usually get the eggplant dish and it is always delicious. The eggplant is very soft and flavorful. The pad see yew is another one of my favorites. At other restaurants, it can be really greasy and sometimes tastes like bad overused vegetable oil. Here, it tasted great. This place is great for lunch. In the lunch special, you get a soup, a main dish and an egg roll, for under $8! You can choose from almost all the main dishes that are available at dinner. This place is really small; however, every time I have gone in there I was able to get a table because it never gets very crowded.

    this place is really small but the food is pretty good and prices/portions are reasonable. roti w/ yellow curry was good. green mango salad was so yummmmm. drunken (kee mao) noodle was much different than i am used to but it's still tasty. green curry was a little different but just as good as krung thai's (portion size is much better). coconut ice cream w/ roti was delish. oh we also had the soft shelled crab with green beans. i didn't care for it much but the bubs devoured it. overall it was a good meal and i will definitely be coming back when i am craving thai food to try other things.

    Very, very good Thai restaurant. Flavors were bright, fresh, and not heavy or greasy. The green curry seabass was melt-in-the-mouth delicious. Brown rice was on the menu as a more fiber-rich alternative to the fragrant jasmine white rice. The drunken chicken tasted like something one would cook at home. And the coconut ice cream was the best I've ever tasted (at some restaurants, one can taste the freezer burn; this was fresh). Service is somewhat slow but very amiable. Highly recommended.

    So yummy! I am a fan of family owned, customer service oriented places, and this is just the place. Came here for lunch with my boys one day. We sampled three different lunch plates (green curry, bbq chicken, pad thai). All came with soup, salad, and egg roll. I believe owner was serving us. She was attentive but not overbearing, always making sure our waters were filled and that we had what we needed. The food was great. I will come back here again.

  • Dena D.

    We came here tonight for my bday dinner and it was a great experience. We had the roti curry and fried calamari appetizers which were ok, but not my favorites. We also had the green mango salad which was awesome and spicy just how I like it. We got the drunken noodles which were super yummy too. We also got the yellow curry with chicken, which is always one of our faves and the special of fried softshell crab with green beans, which my hubby & mom really enjoyed. My mom is a dessert fiend so we got the mango with sticky rice, fried banana w/ coconut ice cream and the roti with coconut ice cream. I love me some mango and sticky rice! and the coconut ice cream was really good too. The owner/waitress was suuuuper nice and on top of everything, so this was the topper for the 5 star rating. It's hard to find service like that now a days.

  • Tracie L.

    Only been here once so far. It was not too crowded on a Friday evening around 7:30 or so. We got friendly, attentive service. We got the drunken noodles with chicken, a papaya salad and beef rama. All I thought were pretty good. I don't know that we'd order rama again because the peanut sauce is pretty heavy and very oily. The price seemed ok... maybe a touch more than other places, and the serving sizes seemed comparable. We'll definitely be trying this place again for take out, since Krung Thai take out has been pretty bad for a while now.

  • Trish P.

    Definitely the best Thai food in the south bay! The atmosphere was just okay but the food more than made up for it. The owner was sweet and very helpful. It was very busy on a Saturday night but we got great service even though she was the only server. I've never had a mango salad before...there's was amazing! I liked everything we ordered (mango salad, shrimp rolls, chicken satay, panang chicken, pleasing beef, roti). My favorites were the Mango Salad and Drunken Noodles. Oh, I can't forget the dessert, we had Roti with Coconut Ice Cream. I highly recommend this place!

  • Jonahliza E.

    ok. so, i just had lunch here, with some girlfriends. and, i really don't care about pad thai-probably because i haven't had any of siam fines` till today. "that sh-- was bomb, yo". between the three of us, we shared: green curry tofu-very flavorful, with a nice kick of heat. (we asked for medium spicy) sweet basil chicken- loved all the bell peppers in it, but the chicken was sliighty dry & beef pad thai- which was my favorite. perfect amount of flava, the beef was cooked great, and..ohhh.. it was just really good. "i heart limes." now, these were all lunch specials that came with rice, a mini eggroll and crunchy wonton, a perfect mini salad, and some nice well seasoned soup. service was great, decor was clean, and i love when there's lemon in the ice water. definitely, eating at this joint, again.

  • Eric Y.

    Went here this past weekend. It's definitely small so if you have a party of more than four people, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation because you might end up waiting a long time for enough space to open up. Also, if you do have to wait for a table, there is little to no space within the restaurant to do so, so it's something you might take in to consideration. I personally judge a Thai restaurant based on it's Pad Thai. I must say that I finally found a Pad Thai in San Jose that I really like! Great taste and was still decent as leftovers. I also like getting Thai iced tea and again I was impressed with theirs. Sweeter than most other places I've tried but I definitely like it that way. The service was just ok. I'm guessing that the server was also the owner and was very nice. He was the only server for about the 5 or 6 tables in the restaurant. Luckily, we got there as a large party was finishing their meal and before the rest of the dinner rush so we got our food promptly but I can imagine that during peak times that service would be kind of slow. I found it a little weird when I noticed that the server asked the table next to us to move to a smaller table after they already ordered their food. Seemed kind of tacky but I guess it's necessary for a place that's this small. Overall, the food was great and I'd definitely come back for more but maybe just as takeout.

  • Terry B.

    The food here, is hands down.. amazing. However, the service here was less than desirable. I had to wait 8 minutes to be sat at an empty table in front of me the whole time. And then we had to wait another 5 minutes for the server to come back for us to order. Once we ordered, we had to wait a solid 12-15 minutes to get our appetizer.. We noticed our server disappeared and that the sole server left there was frantically doing everything herself. She brought our appetizer and needless to say, it was extremely tasty. We got the chicken skewers and my gosh, they were delicious! It took another 10 minutes before we actually got our main courses (I got the chicken fried rice with curry). Their food immediately made up for the wait.. However, next time I go in, I will do takeout. I noticed in the time frame we were there.. 3 seperate people came in for takeout and were IMMEDIATELY given their food. We had to wait so long just for drinks, and they walked in and grabbed their food that fast. It felt rather degrading, to say at least. However, I would go back again.. and give them another honest chance.. assuming I don't decide to go with takeout.

    We were delighted to find that Nai had started his own place here, near Valley Fair. We've had Nai as our waiter over the years at Thai Pepper in Sunnyvale. Nai and his wife, Heidi, are the proprietors of Siam, and they seem to be doing a wonderful job of it. Now, on to our meal: We started off with Tom Kha Gai (chicken in a soup with a spicy coconut milk base) and found it excellent. Then we had Chicken Satay, Pad Thai with pork, and Penang Curry with beef. All the entrees were outstanding. There were few customers in the place, so I'm hoping once word gets out. One other table was occupied while we were there, and there was also a take-out order called in while we were there. Downsides: Pricing at Siam is a little higher than the other Thai places we tend to frequent, so we will likely need to not go as often as we would otherwise. That said, I don't feel the prices are outrageous, and I suspect that the venue (near Valley Fair and Santana Row) must be expensive. It was a little hard to find with just the street address, and once you do, it's hard to figure out where to park -- I'll try and add info about how to find the place later.

    We stumbled upon this place by accident when we had to stop on our way home from San Francisco to get the brakes done, and I was glad we did. The lunch special is pretty affordable, and I love how you can pick whatever meat you want in whatever style dish you want. I had the mussaman curry with crispy tofu, which was basically like having satay transformed into an entire dish instead of an appetizer. Tasty. My partner in dining had the hot basil with chicken, which had an interesting co-mingling of sweet and spicy flavors. The lady who served us was very warm and friendly, and took care of us quite well. We entered cranky, weary, and hungry, but left feeling refreshed, very full, and happy. The only thing I noticed that was odd was the choice of music and decor for a Thai place, but hey, I guess they all can't be stereotypical.

    I just got back from lunch here with two of my friends. The place is small, but nice...sort of bistro-like. Our waitress was very polite and sweet. I had the Red Thai Curry with prawns. It came with tofu vegetable soup, a spring roll, a fried wonton, and rice. The cost was $8.95 before tax. The soup was good, lots of veggies, tofu, and flavor. I had to pick out the inedible ginger and bay leaves though. The wonton was a nice addition of texture to the meal as was the spring roll. The curry was pretty good....a little thicker than I like though. There was a generous amount of veggies and prawns in it. Overall, I would come back if I were with someone who wanted to eat here, but I would not consider this my go-to Thai restaurant.

    Best Thai food ever! Since we moved from SF it was hard to find nice thai place in south bay but we finally did and better then the ones in SF. Place is very clean and the food is great for the great price. Tom Ka Kai soup with chicken was awesome, chicken satay appetizer better then expected and ginger perfect beef was also very tasty. Place is a little small but it's cozy. Perhaps can be even cozier if they added traditional thai lamps or art.

  • Edison M.

    A little place right across Valleyfair Mall on Stevens Creek. If you're in the area and craving Thai food I'd recommend this place over Krung Thai, which is just a few block away. The Stuffed Breaded Angel Wing Appitizer is what you want to get, it's the Booommmmb Diggity! Come from a person who isn't into super spicy food like some people i know, I have to say their Green Curry (mild) dish ranks as one of the best in it's class. A perfect balance between the spice and creaminess of the coconut milk. The Basil Chicken Dish was okay and their Perfect Ginger Dish was not gingery enough for me. Excellent service on a Wednesday night and I agree with everyone about the nice lady people are talking about, she did leave a lasting impression.

  • amanda c.

    The food tasted pretty good, but the reason they get 3 stars is that everything was overly sweet - maybe thats why the food tasted good? We ordered the pad thai which was quite tasty, but it was overly sweet. Also ordered the basil chicken wings - really good too but really really sweet. Cut back on the sugar in the entrees and i'd give siam thai 4 stars.

    I've been here twice in the same week and I feel bad for not reviewing it. Here it goes: The first thing that jumps at me is the amazing food. It made me want to stand up and yell and boogie. you know that feeling when you eat good food? I hope I'm not the only one. I've their salads, noodles, curries, soups and free dessert and it all taste very flavorful and not missing anything. I don't remember ever feeling let down by their food. I recommend you trying the POMPANO FISH and the SQUID dish. The Second factor about this place that I love is the small family like feel. The place is very small and the owner is very friendly. It was so small and friendly that i was able to peek my head in the bad to thank the chef which was a family friend and the husband owner. The wife owner was nice enough to give us a 10% discount each time we went. Last but not least, the price is the same as any other restaurant but the food and service is better than most. Come eat and boogie down

    went here with my sister on a recommendation (and her "recommender" was raving about it)... and while my sister loved it, i wasn't particularly impressed. my mom and i like thai orchid better, though we aren't huge fans of thai food generally speaking. anyway, it's small and i personally felt that it was a bit crowded there. the food wasn't anything special, but it was decent for thai food, as in good and not overdone in terms of sauces/oil/salt/flavor.

    We had dinner here on Sat. Service is pretty good. The food is delicious, doesn't taste like generic food from your average Thai restaurant. The portions are on the small side. The seabass costs $16, the portion is definitely small. we had to order one more dish. We will be back to try something other dishes.

  • Steven S.

    For dinner last night a friend and I ordered the panang curry (mild) and basil calamari (mild). Both dishes were tasty. An earlier reviewer had said that food here was spicy but I would categorize their mild dishes as flavorful, but not spicy at all. I'll definitely order something medium next time. Small place with good service. The price could be a little cheaper, but I didn't feel like I overpaid with a $30 bill for two of us including two dishes and two non-alcoholic drinks. 4 stars because it didn't knock my socks off, but I'd eat here again.

    I met my wife from Thailand 14 years ago, out of the past 14 years of going out for Thai, we've found our favorite place.

    I have a hard time determining what the difference between a 4 star and five star rating should be. This place is a tough one for me. It is my goto Thai restaurant in the South Bay. I have never been let down by service or flavor. But it is pretty standard fare. So I will give it 4 stars, even though within the range of standard Thai cuisine in the bay area it is probably a five. I've tried the Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, Chicken Satay, Yellow Curry and enjoyed them all.

    A solid 4. I have the impression this place has changed hands since a few years ago, but I've been here several times and have always had a pleasant dining experience. Have no idea if the food is authentic, but a co-worker of mine who visits Thailand frequently (why, I don't know and don't want to know :) likes it.

I love their crab noodle, and they always accommodate when I request for extra tofu to be put in it. Whenever I go pick up my takeout, the nice guy usually gives me a free Thai iced tea while I wait for them to wrap and bag my food. This place is a gem!

    I stopped by after visiting Santanna Row and happened to see this place on the way into the parking lot. After visiting Borders' Bookstore I was hungry and wanted to pick something up on the way home. I was curious and decided to try this restaurant. From the outside, the restaurant looks nondescript and you could miss it easily. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the food. I ordered the pattaya paradise - since I was in the mood for something with basil and was also recommended the pleasing garlic with beef (by the owner?) to compliment the Pattaya Paradise. I also had the prawn rolls as an appetizer. The prawn rolls were crispy, but not oily, and and were tasty. The pattaya paradise wasn't overpowering and I liked the scallops. It could have been a little more spicier, but It was satisfying. I enjoyed the Pleasing Garlic and noted someone actually took the time to do some presentation on the dish although it was a take out order. It was delicious. I finished off with the sticky rice and coconut ice cream. The sticky rice was fresh and not too sweet. All in all, a pleasing dinner. BTW, the owner was very nice and seems to be very open to feedback from customers. At this point, I'd come back again and could make this a regularly visited spot for dinner or even lunch.

    Small, friendly service, but a bit pricey -- not sure why either. Neon signs are usually signatures of places that aren't very expensive. The dishes were around $10 and up. We had the crab noodles and the trout special. The crab noodles were good, though a touch too sweet. The trout was tough and chewy. I mentioned the issue with the fish and they didn't charge us for the dish, though we made up for it by giving a $5.00 tip. I had high hopes, but this place didn't make the mark. Could've been an off day, but it's too expensive for us to give them another try.

    Small and sometimes hard for parking but for sure worth it. I've been here only for lunch and they have great specials around $7, and you can pick the level of how spicy you want it. Nice presentation of food. Very clean inside. Yummy soup and salad with lunch.

    When i walked into the place, we were greeted very fast and he was super friendly. I felt at home immediately. He brought us out nice tasting ice water with lemon and menus as we sat down, which is really good. The pricing for the menu seemed kind of high, but the place does have the word "fine" in it and i thought i'd give it the benefit of the doubt. We ordered yellow curry with chicken, pad thai with chicken, and spicy basil fried rice. The yellow curry tasted just like coconut milk and it lacked any spices that makes thai curry good. The spicy basil fried rice had no spices whatsoever unless you consider ground black pepper enough to make a spicy dish. the rice was kind of over cooked for me and it lacked the usual garlic taste you get from this kind of dish. The pad thai was way too sweet and very clumpy and expensive. I won't be coming back and the place got two stars for being extra friendly and great service. 40 bucks(3 dishes/2 persons) for amateur thai food is not in my alley

    the best thai food in the south bay .... our freind threw a party here for 12 of us ....... we almost ordered 15 dishes there ... out of which 12 were exceptionally good .... 2 were good and just 1 was "just ok" ........... cant expect more from any place ....... the waitress there was very polite and service was very good .. though its quite a smal place ... has very good view of the valley fair mall from the place .....over all a very good place for fine thai cuisine .........

    The food was fantastic and perfect. After valley fair, we searched through yelphoping to find a tasty Thai place and behold, right across the street was Siam. It's pretty hidden but it does have parking at the side. This is a small place but don't let that trick you because it's worth your visit. We ordered the infamous drunken noodles, red curry chicken, catfish with curry. All tasted just perfect. The drunken noodles have a taste that is very interesting, in a very good sense, with lots of nice flavors soaked into the noodles. The curry was amazing with the right amount of spiciness we wanted. Ths catfish was delicious. We ended it with banana ice cream. The bananas were fresh and crunchy, fried perfectly to a crisp in every bite. Btw, we ordered the angel wings for appetizer and perfect again. As for me, I judge Thai restaurants by their Thai tea. If the thai tea tastes good, the food should be hella/hecka/mad/very good. It tasted like authentic Thai tea. +++

    Had a excellent Pad Thai, my friend enjoyed his Beef Curry. The "medium" level of spice was perfect, not overpowering and delightful. We ordered a Fried Banana with Coconut Icecream and Sticky Rice with Mango's as well and unfortunately it took forever for the Fried Banana's but they were divine. The Sticky Rice was ok, but just couldn't stand up to the magnificence of the Fried Banana's.

  • Brenda C.

    WOW. No one can beat their pineapple fried rice. I have been to so many thai restaurants and none of them come close. the restaurant is never busy when I go there around 7 pm, so it's easy to get my order quick. I also enjoyed the "golden triangles" (fried tofu) and an amazing plum sauce (sounded gross to me too until I tried it). Their drunk noodles are great as well, and their pad see ew is decent. It's a very small place, so when it's a full house, expect to get your food slow. But it is so worth it...mmmm.

  • Sarah B.

    This place is excellent. Have only dined once, but I was impressed by how fresh and delicious the dishes were and how much care the owners seem to take in preparing the food and maintaining the restaurant. The restaurant is small, but I think it lends to good quality and carefully prepared food. Pad thai was delicious - the noodles were not too soft, which is a problem with many restaurants, and the sauce was delicious (not too sweet). We also tried other basics - green curry and basil chicken. Both were excellent. The eggplant in the green curry was so fresh and delicious, and the curry was tasty. I'm looking forward to trying some of the seafood dishes next time. Service was also very good. The server, who must also be one of the owners, was very attentive and sweet. Thrilled that I found this place, and I'll be going back soon!!

    My husband and I love Heidi and Siam! Heidi is always there and is so sweet and welcoming. All the other reviews are exactly right on- top notch customer service and the food is DELICIOUS (!!!!!!!!!) and so fresh! Everything we have tried, we love! :) We have started coming here instead of Krung Thai down the road. Definitely try this GREAT thai place- you won't be disappointed! :)

    Just moved here to the Bay Area from LA/OC, and I've been having trouble finding Asian foods comparable to what I was used to in Socal. I've been craving really good, authentic Thai food and the ones I've tried here so far (Krung Thai and Orchid Thai) didn't impress. Siam pleases me though :) I went here with my bf and another couple at 7pm on a Friday night with no wait (right before it got extremely packed). We ordered the roti appetizer, seafood combination tom yum soup, trout choo-chee special, chicken panang curry, and seafood combination drunk noodles. - Roti 2/5: It was thick and bready instead of the typical thin, crispy texture. Because it was thick, it also came off as a bit too oily. - Tom Yum Soup 5/5: This is one of the best I've ever had. We ordered it medium spicy. It was rich and bold, slightly sweet, but also had the strong spicy kick like how Thai food should be. yummy! and they give wayy more seafood than there is liquid in the pot! - Trout Choo-Chee 3.5/5: The description made it seem more delicious than it was. It was decent, but more on the dry side instead of crispy. The sauce was too similar (or identical) to our panang curry :-/ -Panang Curry 4/5: The flavor was bold and creamy, and went well over rice. - Drunk noodle 4/5: It was not too oily or sweet. Very good balance of flavors and plenty of veggies (maybe a lil too much versus the amount of noodles). The place is very small and cramped with only 2 ppl working front of the house. It gets really packed and I heard the man working there tell ppl coming to order takeout that it would be at least a 30min wait. Overall, the food was good and I would definitely come back, but plan to go early :)

    Did we win the lottery or something? 'Cause all three of our dishes we ordered turned out to be delicous, amazing, hot, fresh, and YUMMERZzzZZ! Yeah, I just used that word...believe it. -Pad Thai with Chicken: Simple Thai dish I always order. Yummy. -Pork in Peanut Sauce in a bed of spinach: OH MY GOSH. Loved their peanut sauce. I sorta used some of this sauce in my pad thai too. It was goooooooooooood. -Special Fish Entree: I forgot what this was called, but it was some silly name called "Bang" Fish or ....something like that, lol. It was one of their specials of the day. Crispy fried fish, deboned, with fresh mushrooms, bell peppers with yellow curry. Their portions are also very generous for their prices ($8-$13). We ordered three dishes between three people and we had plenty of leftovers. Mind you, one of our friends is a big ol' fatty. ;P It's location is a bit odd, it's on the corner a street before Santana Row, with a parking lot right behind it. Very tiny, but I saw them accommodating a party of 10. :) Great service. Great experience overall; what made it even better was that my sister had a coupon for $10 off. :D

  • Mishee D.

    Delicious...seriously! Went here with the bff and we were both happy and satisfied with the place. We had: Roti- nice and chewy but crispy on the outside. Wonderful curry dip -not too spicy. Prik khing - delicious! Green beans with pepper. We had prawns in our dish. So delicious...and prawns gad this great lemongrass flavor. Green curry - we had chicken with ours. Oooh this was so good!! Spicy curry with plenty of chicken chunks , eggplants and peppers. Good, friendly service but the place is a little cramped. It also gets packed early and they only have a few tables. However, the food is delish!!!

    Small restaurant...parking is in the back. Service is pretty good but we are the second set of customers. Thai ice tea is average. Roti was not what I expected...very oily. Basil chicks was alright, chicken was over cooked. Mussaman was good.

  • Yuan W.

    Met an old friend here for lunch and was very impressed! It wasn't at all crowded during lunch even though the place was on the cozy side. And everything from the soup to the dish itself (Thai Basil tofu) was very flavorful. One of the best that I've had in quite some time. Will definitely come again!

  • Long N.

    This is by far my FAVORITE Thai restaurant. This review is long overdue because I have been going here for the past 4 years. From the first time I came here, the quality of service and food has not changed. The owners and workers are GREAT. It is a small shop, but they are always busy! My girlfriend and I have seen the restaurant grow as well because they were not always so busy! But seeing them become more and more popular really made of happy for the owners because they know to serve customers the right way. My favorite dish is the Garlic Shrimp with Brown rice. However other great dishes are: Drunken Noodle, all of their curries, and their Pad Thai. After trying their food, all other thai restaurants feel americanized. The flavor for all the dishes is just right, and for those who love spicy, they have different levels from mild, medium, hot, and thai hot (thai spicy) whatever you want to call it! I have taken so many friends here and everyone has always gave the restaurant a thumbs up. Whether its TOGO or you eat in store, the food is delicious! To wrap things up, if you want GREAT AUTHENTIC Thai Cuisine, for a great price. Definitely try this place! You will not regret it!

    I have been on the look-out for the best Thai food in Silicon Valley since my trip to Thailand a couple of years ago. I have been to so many Thai restaurants in the Bay Area but haven't found one that is as good as the food we had in Thailand...until I came across this little, tiny gem. I made reservations just to be sure since there's 6 of us plus we were celebrating 2 birthdays. I was hoping they will remember that piece of very important information when we came in and at least try to make it extra special for my 2 celebrant friends. They didn't and our table wasn't even ready yet but it didn't take very long to get it ready so no problem with that. We ordered the Papaya Salad, Mango Salad, Basil Chicken, Angel Wings, Crab Rice, Roti with green sauce and for dessert, we had the Roti with Ice Cream and Sticky Rice with Mango. Everything was delicious. We decided on medium spicy but the Papaya Salad was definitely not Medium Spicy! I still had a little bit because it's very healthy. I also like the fact that they have brown rice so they definitely cater to those who try to be healthy like me. I also ordered Chicken Satay to go and it was really tender...perfectly cooked. I would have given this place 5 stars except that they kept forgetting that we're celebrating a birthday and they kept forgetting the candles on the desserts. I had to remind her twice and both times, she forgot. The desserts came and we had to wait a few more seconds for the candle to come and another few seconds for the lighter so we can light the candle. We asked her to take our picture and she cut one of us off the picture. I guess our waitress was preoccupied with other things that night. As far as the food is concerned, it's definitely 5 STARS no doubt!

  • Alisa O.

    I love this place! It's some of the best Thai food I've had in the U.S. I've traveled to Thailand so I can say this food is authentic and fantastic. It looks family run, and the people are super sweet. I love the roti curry and pad see ew. Lunch is a better time to go because you get a better deal, it can be pricey for dinner. My only complaint is that it needs to be bigger, but that might take away some of the charm.

    This place is pretty great. One of the few times I got my Thai boyfriend to try Thai food... Don't ask... Best Thai option in surrounding area, definitely better than Krung Thai.

    Thanks for another fine recommendation Yelpers! This turned out to be a tiny restaurant on the corner. The servers were nice, price is moderate, and time waited was good. You can tell a place is good when a good amount of local frequent it and that's what it looked like. There' s a convenient parking lot behind the building. A coworker and I ordered the sampler appetizer platter, beef pad thai, and chicken curry dish. The sampler platter had fried tofu, spring rolls, and chicken satay. The tofu had the crispy outside and wasn't greasy and the chicken satay was grilled while still moist with flavors of coconut. I liked the pad thai because it wasn't too sweet like other places and the noodles were cooked right. The chicken curry was coconut-y with flavors of thai basil. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back to pay this pace a visit when I have a Thai craving in San Jose. This restaurant was also conveniently located across from a shopping mall and only about 10 minutes from downtown San Jose.

  • Kevin T.

    I actually really liked this place! A small shop just a block away from Santana Row and the Mall! This will definitely be my place to eat a meal if I ever need lunch or dinner when I'm shopping around. The inside is tiny, but clean and bright. Reasonable prices that are an average of $9 per dish. We got the papaya salad, prawn rolls, duck curry, and drunk noodles. - Papaya salad was delicious! Both of the appetizers also had a small salad with a slice of orange on it, which made for great presentation. - Prawn rolls were basically just egg rolls with shrimp, but were very tasty! - Duck curry was slightly spicy, but there were quite a good amount of duck in it. The dish was on the pricy side for the portion, but it was alright. - I really liked the drunk noodles though! Basically a chow fun! I recommend this place!

  • Navjot K.

    I'll keep it short and simple. What we ordered: Chicken Satay - yum! Nice large serving size for an appetizer, definitely plenty to share. The peanut sauce tasted too peanut-butter-y for my taste. Chicken larb with sticky rice on the side - one if the best larb salads I have had, nice and fresh! Definitely the beat sticky rice I've eaten because normally I don't like it, but this one was a good one. Pleasing Garlic Chicken with brown jasmine rice - everything about this was good. I love brown rice and theirs were cooked perfectly. All of the serving sizes were nice and I had leftovers from the Pleasing Garlic Chicken and brown rice. I will definitely be going back with room for dessert next time!

    Came here with the lil bro on a trip up to see the fam. lil bro: "let's go eat" me: "what do you want?" lil bro: "thai, no one else ever wants to go eat it" me: "where" lil bro: "???" so the search on yelp began and based on the great reviews we ventured out to the valley fair/santa row area 3 days before christmas and i was thinking to myself as my lil bro drove in his new car with his new license to Siam Fine Thai... WHYYY did I choose to venture to this area a couple days before christmas? And yes, the traffic off the freeway getting onto stevens creek was horrendous. SIGH, was the food even worth it??? IT WAS SO WORTH IT. Given, that I don't venture out too much to eat in the San Jose area.. I was so happy to find this place! The food was super yummilicious and the prices were pretty reasonable... this place is a great casual place to grab lunch/dinner/takeout. The restaurant itself is very small so anticipate a wait if you go during peak hours or I would just pick it up to go if you live close enough. # Pad Thai - LOVEE. Really great flavors/noodles! One of the best I've had.. and I've had some great and not so great.. # Yellow Curry with Chicken - GREAT curry dish! Also one of the better yellow curry dishes I've had. The potatoes and carrots were also very well cooked ( loveee cooked veggies!) # Hot Basil Chicken - Solid, but really the pad thai and curry dish were our two favorites # Thai Iced Tea - solid tea. # Service - very fast, very polite, everyone was really nice!!! Would definitely recommend to San Jose-ers for some great thai food.. perhaps after a long shopping trip across the street at valley fair? Definitely must check it out!

  • mong linh n.

    every time i leave valley fair, i always spot this little thai restaurant in the corner of my eye. finally was able to step out of my Krung Thai box, and give this place a try. Its a very tiny restaurant. it probably has about less then 10 tables inside, and a couple more outside. we came around 530pm on a saturday, and there was no one there! i have a thing about empty places, and usually its a bad sign. anyhow, now onto the menu, they carry almost everything a thai restaurant does, and the price range is pretty similar. i loveeee yellow curry, and i usually order it everywhere, but i noticed that here they use SWEET POTATOES instead of normal potatoes so i had to pass =( i wanted to see how the flavoring of the yellow curry was at least so we went a lil cheaper and ordered the Roti w/ Yellow Curry. ($6-ish) the roti was cut up into tiny lil triangles. it came out fresh and hot. the roti was very oily, and the yellow curry tasted a lil more on the salty side. it was just EHH. next out was my always must order at any thai restaurant....my angel wings! (about $8-ish) basically, its a fried chicken wing covered in panko bread and stuffed w/ clear noodes, pork, and all this other good stuff. its like a fried chcken wing w/ more stuffing inside served with sweet chili sauce. it was also just ehh. the texture and taste wasnt up to my liking. the texture was a lil soggy even fried. i like to eat it with rice so i ordered one serving to share between two people, and rice was also EHH. i love mushy rice, but the rice was TOO mushy here and i just didnt like it at all. it was mushy but not sticky. last dish was the drunken noodles ($9ish), and id have to say this was the best part of the meal. it came out HOTTT. burnt my tongue kinda because i wasnt careful. =P it was goood. very flavorful! so with our roti w/ curry, angel wings, one serving of white rice, and drunken noodles the bill came out to be $28. service here was a plus! he was always back to fill our water, and made sure the food came out right. He seems like a very nice guy. i would give him 5stars just for taking good care of us. overall, KRUNG THAI still wins my heart.

    Not only is the food here good, but the service is excellent! The staff is extremely polite and attentive. We came in near closing time and were welcomed warmly and seated promptly. The Thai iced tea here is delicious...best I've had! It's on the sweet side, which is not a problem in book! For appetizers, we had the chicken satay which was tender, moist, and so flavorful. It was a good-sized portion too, with 4 or 5 sticks. For entrees, I had the drunken noodles with beef, which was pretty good and not overly spicy. I also tried some of the mango tango special with prawns, chicken, cashews, and other veggies. What a great combination of ingredients & flavors! We only had one complaint during our meal, which was the side of sticky rice becoming hard & stiff shortly after being served to us. The server was quick to apologize and immediately brought out a new one. A+ service :)

    Best Tom Kha I have had in a LONG time!!! Just the right balance of flavors... Fresh and bright! You know how sometimes it can be too thin and lackluster... THIS one was PERFECT! Being that I am still doing things Gluten Free, I also ordered Pad Thai which they offered to make with Mung Bean noodles and chicken especially for me. SO wonderfully tasty. While there were likely traces of wheat in the Pad Thai sauce, overall, this is a hit on my "Dairy Free/Gluten Free places to eat" list! I will be back often! Note: If you have severe wheat allergies, please check with the restaurant management before you order. Much appreciation to the friendly and attentive staff as well. YOU were all delightful and attentive. See you again soon!

    Came here last night around 7ish. The place was really busy! There were times that I could barely hear what my friend was saying. He ordered the Duck Curry (mild): Really delicious. Creamy curry with a slight kick to it. The duck wasn't rubbery or overcooked. I really liked the pineapple chunks too! I ordered the Chicken Cashew Lovers: Also really good. The red peppers weren't overcooked and the chicken was really soft. The cashews were delicious but I pretty much love anything with cashews in it. And of course two sides of rice but you can't really go wrong with that. The service was really great. They kept checking up on us to see if things were okay and clearing our plates. I like the service here much better than the very emotionless servers at either of the Krung Thai restaurants down the street.

    I don't know what it is, but nothing have really blown me out of the waters as of late. Instead, they usually disappoint. Siam is just one of those restaurants that so happen to cross my "yelp eyes" these past 2 weeks. Back to the restaurant, Siam is a small Thai restaurant across from Valley Fair on Stevens Creek. When i said small, i really meant it. There are probably enough seating for 18-25 people at a time. I went with a group of my co-workers totaling 7 people and we took up a good chunk of that restaurant. Regardless of what i am about to say about this restaurant, the decor is actually very pleasant. No fake elephant trunks, no funny looking fans, no imitation paintings of Southeast Asia. It is what it is, a clean bright looking restaurant. We went here for our team lunch, where we "team-build" with the co-workers in our department. They had a separate menu just for lunch and the pricing were actually decent. Around 8-10 dollars for a lunch entree that comes with soup, salad, a spring roll, and your entree. I chose the traditional pad see ew with beef while my other coworkers indulge in various curries. My noodles were borderline inedible. WAY TOO MUCH FISHSAUCE and although i love spice. Are pad see ew noodles suppose to be spicy? Because the waiter asked how spicy i wanted it. Interesting taste. My white co-worker/friend ordered the "red devil noodles" asking for the spiciest level and it came out mild as a marshmallow. Food racial profiling! Where as mine was full of chilis. Anyways, the soup and salad was good and the place is clean. Not my cup of tea as far as Thai restaurants goes. Maybe you will have a better experience.

  • Abby B.

    LOVE THIS PLACE. My boyfriend and I came here twice this week just because their fried rice is so bomb. The best thing about their menu choices is you can add pork, chicken, shrimp, or veggies to your meal. For a fat girl at heart like me, that's a come-up. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great portions and great leftovers.

    This place is hit or miss. Some days I love it and some days it's pretty mediocre. The lunch specials are the best. I usually get the drunken noodles or pad Thai. The curry isn't too bad either. It's pretty small, so sometimes there is a wait. Service is fine, nothing to brag about. Overall, a good place to try if you are craving Thai.

    I love this place. It can get super crowded on the weekends b/c the restaurant is pretty small. However on weekdays I never have any issues getting seated right away. We also never have to wait very long for our food to be served. I've never had anything off their menu that I didn't like. :) Everyone is very nice there, and Heidi can make some suggestions for you if you're not sure about what to try. In other words, go there on a weekday with a friend. If you don't have to deal with the hustle and bustle of a Friday/Saturday evening, you will have a great experience and enjoy awesome food! If you do go on the weekend, you'll have to wait a while to be seated (but what restaurant doesn't have a wait on the weekend?) but the food will still be great.

    -1 for being the smallest restaurant ever and taking really long to make our food. We are hungry people!! Overall it was a good experience. I really liked their food and it was authentic. What we got: Crab noodles =yum! Crab fried rice = mehhh Pad thai= y

  • Matthew L.

    This place is in a great location right across the street from VF. The food honestly did not impress me. I've eaten at a lot of Thai places before and I felt this place didn't hit the spot for me. We ordered the jungle curry which was not what I expected; it was watery and did not have the consistency of the regular curry dishes. The coconut soup was decent and the drunken noodle was nothing out of the ordinary. The service was great, always attentive and refilled our waters when it was low. Would I come back, probably not.

  • Megan J.

    Run of the mill Thai. It is a very small space, kind of awkward even. I felt like I was dining right on top of the people next to us. Their conversation was our conversation, and our was theirs almost. The food was good enough, but I left pretty unsatisfied. I'd rather go to Krung Thai just on the other side of Valley Fair if I'm going to settle for so-so/borderline good Thai. Tee Nee Thai is one step up from Krung and two steps up from Siam, but a little more dough. Choose your Thai restaurants carefully. Easy to be disappointed in the Bay. I guess one good way to judge is by the patrons dining around you... Here, no one was of any Asian decent, let alone Thai. On the other hand, Krung Thai is usually overrun.

  • Jesse K.

    We came here on a weekday evening around dinner time and were seated immediately which was nice. It's a small restaurant with only about eight tables, one greeter and one waitress at the time we went. I haven't had a lot of Thai food but this place is among the better tasting varieties I've had. The food came out relatively quickly, it was fresh and hot upon arriving at our table. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is due to the poor quality of service after we received our food. Our waitress didn't offer us water refills which was especially annoying since we both ordered spicy dishes. We actually had to get up and walk to the front just to get her attention. Getting our bill and boxes was the same story, after we had finished eating we waited at least fifteen minutes before having to go out of our way to get her attention. Granted, after we arrived the restaurant did fill up a bit and she was also managing take-out orders but despite all that she seemed unaware. Having a second person available to move things along would have been nice. Great food but not the best place to go if you have any sort of time constraints.

  • Eric C.

    This place is busy! I felt bad for coming half an hour before closing (8:30pm), but there were still other people waiting to be seated and even more people came after us! All the food was fresh and delicious, but I'd say the portions were on the small side. Try the young coconut juice served in the coconut and be sure to scrape out all that delicious coconut meat. It's large enough to be shared with two people. I noticed a few people waiting a very long time for their takeout orders, so definitely call ahead if you're going to order takeout.

  • Katherine L.

    Got to go. They were very nice when I went in to pick it up and I could see that the restaurant was very small. The pad thai was delicious!! We also had yellow curry which was just as yummy but the medium spiciness was a bit to spicy for me; mild it is next time! We had so much food that the two of us couldn't finish. I had lunch the next day :). I must go back and eat in.

    The roti curry was great. She had the angry something or other with chicken. She liked it. I had the pad see ew. It was the best pad see ew I've had in the Bay Area. Portions were a good size. Food took awhile but no big deal. I'll be coming back.

    Quick service, cheap food. Great alternative to the mall's food court. Came here with my co-worker for lunch. We both got items off the lunch special menu. Ended up being $10 per person (including tax and tip)! It's hard to find a place this cheap with good food. I ordered the eggplant while my co-worker got the pannang. The lunch specials come with an egg roll, soup, and salad. We both had leftovers in the end. Great deal and would definitely consider coming back!

    Had a delicious Hawaiian fired rice with shrimp, green curry with tofu, and drunk noodles with tofu! Some of the best Thai food I've had recently! Their Thai Tea was made just right too!

    This place is great! It's tiny, so expect to wait a little bit if you come during the busy dinner hour. The food is consistently fresh, the portions generous, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. I always try to get their recommendations on what to eat, and I have never been disappointed. I personally love the Tom Khar, the yellow and red curries, and the garlic pork. Absolutely delicious. The spring rolls are a little bland without the peanut sauce (I am allergic to peanuts), but consistenly very fresh. It is my current favorite Thai place near my house.

    My boyfriend and I come here because I love Roti and he loves their fried fish in red curry. My advice to you: no matter how much you love roti, you shouldnt get two orders because it will ruin your appetite for anything else. Their food has been consistently good, and while service is slow when theyre busy, they never get our order wrong. They are all very friendly, and the vibe in their restaurant is like eating with family.

    The place is very under rated. It's small but the food is amazing. The service is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. You cannot go wrong with anything you order there. My favorites are the Crab Noodle, Hawaiian Fried Rice, Hot Chicken Basil, Mango Salad, Silver Noodle Salad (VERY YUMMY) and last but not least...the Tom Khar Soup (add silver noodles). The service is FAST and friendly leaving you with a feeling that you'll definitely be back. I highly recommend this place for take out due to size. If you go there for lunch, go during non peak times and pass on going with a group of people as they simply cannot accommodate large groups of more than 4. This place is a best kept hidden secret and they also adjusted their hours to accommodate their growing demand.

    This place is sooooo good!! We came here with a big group on a weekday and the staff was very accommodating. The restaurant is tiny with just a few tables, so call in advance for reservations if you plan on brining a big group. We started off with the seafood tom yum soup. I've only had tom yum soup a couple of times, but it was the best tom yum soup I have ever had so far! It was so flavorful and packed with seafood. It's perfect for those cold, winter nights. The other dishes that stood out to me was the pad thai and duck curry. Pad thai seems like an easy dish to make because it looks so simple, but I've had my fair share of bland and boring pad thais. But the pad thai here is just perfect! From the right firmness of the noodles, enough mixture of tofu, shrimp, peanuts, bean sprouts to the sauce, they definitely got it right. The duck curry is coconut based and was more on the sweet, creamy side and was delicious as well! I can't wait to go back.

    At last.... The Ninja has discovered a new form of magic.... at Siam FTC the flavor called magic can be found under the guise of..... wait for it... "Green Curry Chicken." Something so simple.. yet sooo yummy... Like the Ninja and his friend the Altoid, SIAM is small but curiously strong.. in Flavor! hehe It get's pretty busy sometimes so if you you have that hunger inside you that will *scoff* at a Snickers Bar the Ninja suggests you order your food for pick-up ^_^ .::Overall::. Basil Beef - Yum! Beef? Gooood... Basil? Goooood... eat it? yesssss.... Green Curry Chicken - Magic! - they don't skimp on the pieces of chicken & veggies (luv the eggplant). The balance of spice to coconut in the sauce is just right. The Ninja likes it HOT! (but u can order mild too). .::Recommendation?!?!::. Good Food, reasonable prices, a friendly staff.. Oh yeah! the Ninja gives SFTC 2 Shurikens up!

    As you can see, I have been going here for at least 3 1/2 years. Since I work nearby, this is where I got my weekly Pad Thai fix. One week a few weeks ago, my co-worker bought me a take out portion of the Pad Thai. I ate it but was puzzled because it did not taste the same (I had been eating the original recipe for over 3 years!). The next week I went into the restaurant and ordered it again and it definitely was different. The sauce was more brown than the usual orange color and it had no flavor. I asked Heidi about it and she said that her husband, Nai, changed the recipe because a customer told him it was too sweet. Are you kidding? I have been eating this for over 3 years and I KNOW I am not the only one who has liked it for 3 1/2 years! Why fix something that is not broken? Heidi agreed with me but said she couldn't change Nai's mind. So, I went in purposely to talk to Nai within a few days. He said that he understood my concern, but he didn't want to lose customers because they were complaining about the Pad Thai being too sweet (what am I may I ask?). He said that he could make the original Pad Thai for me if I asked for it. I still disagreed with the sauce change, but agreed if they could make the Pad Thai how I like it (how they have been doing it for almost 4 years!). Bottom line, if you go consistently to this restaurant and happen to like the original Pad Thai Sauce, please go into the restaurant and let them know that you like the original recipe better than the new one. I was told just this week by a server that they changed the recipe back to the original one-- but just in case-- thanks!

    Yum yum yum. Right across from Westfield Valley Fair on Stevens Creek, it's close to many other stores you may find of interest. Tofu is generally hard for me to eat because I find it very bland. However, the garlic tofu was beyond flavorful and appetizing. There's limited seating, but I didn't find that an issue when I visited.

  • Alice T.

    I came here to eat dinner after shopping at Valley Fair mall. I have to say this is the best Thai food I have had so far. Price range is normal. Parking is in the back, and you walk toward the front. It is a small and very homely restaurant. I enjoyed it and will be coming back. But since the restaurant is kinda small if you come during a busy time you might have to call and make reservations. But it is very very goooood. The waitress and waiter was also very very nice. Portion size is also good.

    Tiny little Thai restaurant right across from Valley Fair. Food here is not bad and the place is clean so that is a plus. However, the place is so small it feels like you are climbing over your fellow diners to get to and out of your table. Great for takeout though...

    My girlfriend and I have been regulars here for a year now. Every time we come we are totally satisfied with the service and food! My girlfriend has been eating Thai for over ten years and thinks this place is one of the most authentic tasting food in the area! Myself, this place is where I first experiences Thai and don't plan on switching to another restaurant! We always get the Tom yum soup, pad Thai and yellow curry--always amazing! The servers acknowledge us as regulars and treat us with great care. They know our order too which makes us feel extra special! Try this place. You won't be sorry :)

    omg luv luv LOVE THIS PLACE. Their lunch specials literally only $10 and it comes with a soup, salad, jasmine rice, a spring roll, and an entree. Their tom yom soup WAS AMAZING and their curry here is soooooo good. It's a really tiny place, like really tiny especially if it's crowded. Call in to make sure if there's room before going. The lady who owns the place is nice too.

  • Naresh R.

    The place is really good but tiny. Don't ever attempt to go to this place when its hot out. The a/c sucks and its burning up in there. The food is really good. When you say medium its really spicy. The drunken noodles are really good. It's a big toss up between this place, krung thai and thai orchid.

    (4)

  • Mia S.

    Came here thinking it was krung thai, since it had been a while since I was in the area. Long story short, I was ordering food to go for my friend who just had her baby. I ordered the seabass delight, green curry, and thai fried rice. All three of these dishes were delicious. I would definitely recommend the seabass dish. Honestly, all their sea bass dishes sounded really delicious. I would go back there again. There is ample parking behind the business, and it's across the street from valley fair.

    We have been to this place twice... once for dinner and once for lunch. They are packed and pretty busy. Its a tiny lil restaurant on Steven's Creek a couple lights before Santana Row. It is a cute lil thai place and we loved the food, actually. For dinner, we had a couple of entrees when we went out with my cousin and his wife. The tom yum soup was amazing and served piping hot. We also tried the Cashew Nut Stirfry, Red Curry, and my cousins had the Chicken Fried Rice. Service can be a bit slow as they are pretty small and you will see two people running around..which is the reason I gave it 3 stars.... but once you get the food, its pretty worth it. The curries are made pretty fresh! The dinner was enjoyable and it was nice to find a lil hidden spot.... Today, my husband and I went for lunch and they were pretty packed at almost 1:45pm. ;) We got their lunch specials which come with a lot of items-- spring roll, salad, soup, wonton, and the entree of your choice. The portions are perfect for lunch. We had the green curry and the Pad thai. So, if you love a restaurant that has good food more than the decor and space.. then try it out...

    I love it!! I use to work right above and order from her all the time!! The food is always good, well cooked, and the customer service is great! The owners are very friendly, always say hi, and they mAke an effort to remember your name. I have recommend this place to everyone! One day I took my fiancé my leftovers and then he was asking him to bring him some!! Later it was my brother in law, and then I was getting calls to take them Thai food for lunch. I will definitely go back!!

    This is a tiny, obscure place compared to the nearby shops on Santana Row, but it's quite a gem. I usually play it safe at Thai places and get pad thai, so I've had more than my fair share of it. The pad thai here is among the best that I've ever had, and the portions are very generous. All of my friends had curry, and they all really enjoyed theirs as well.

  • Nga C.

    I went here for the first time about two weeks ago and had the pad see ew lunch special. Service was a little off, but friendly and prompt. Best pad see ew I've ever had. The only thing I didn't like was the tofu - it was just too firm and the flavor of it was off. My companion had some kind of spicy fried rice. It was good, but he ordered it really spicy so it took away from the flavor of the actual dish itself. I'm definitely looking forward to going and having this again, but with beef, chicken, or shrimp =)

  • Zellina P.

    This place is great! The service is extremely friendly and the food very tasty. I love coming here for lunch and to-go orders usually take no more than 15 mins and servings are plentiful. I am a regular here and would strongly recommend this spot :-) My favorite dish? Chili eggplant with fish! Delish!

    Siam is one of those hidden gems when it comes to finding delicious and affordable Thai food in San Jose. It's a cozy, little restaurant that not only delivers in taste, but also in service! :) I have heard a lot of good things about Siam through word of mouth, so I decided to try it out for lunch one day. Siam is not located IN the main shopping malls, but it is very close. When you enter, you're immediately greeted by the staff (I'm assuming they are the owners?) and they are gracious to their customers. My friends and I decided on the Vegetarian Pad Thai, Crab Noodles, and Crab Fried Rice. You are also asked if you would like for your dish to be spicy, which I appreciate since I would rather not surprised with an inflamed mouth. Haha. All of the dishes came out in a timely manner and they all looked beautiful & appetizing! I couldn't wait to dig in. The portions are generous and you will definitely leave with a slight case of food coma. Siam is a perfect place for lunch and I definitely recommend it to anybody that's a fan of Thai food. The owners are incredibly sweet and will make sure you are taken care of too. :)

    This place is like the normal looking girl who you never notice until you see her at the prom all done up and think DAMN! what have I been missing out on? Total sleeper restaurant. Been here twice and food was consistently good. And you know it's good when you see real thai people eating here and getting stuff not on the menu. It's located in a tiny strip mall right near Valley Fair Mall, near Santana Row. To think that I've been eating at all those over priced restaurants and missing out on this gem right around the corner. Staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Definitely in the restaurant rotation and probably my favorite Thai place in the bay area.

  • Ly D.

    I was craving pineapple fried rice & I saw these amazing reviews on Yelp so I thought it was a must try. It's a really small restaurant -- parking is located behind the place. It's right across Chase Bank / Valley Fair Mall. There were no customers when the boyfriend & I walked in so we were seated immediately. Water was brought out promptly and we ordered the Roti with yellow curry for dipping -- I've never tried Roti before and I thought it was amazing! It's really buttery and the curry was just perfect with it. The boyfriend had the green bean and chicken dish (Thai Hot) and it was REALLY hot but he said it tasted really good. The dish looked pretty small but since it was super spicy, he didn't care. I had the hawaiian fried rice which consisted of rice, pineapple chunks, raisins, peas, carrots, eggs, and chicken (I opted for no prawns). It was nicely seasoned and everything but it's not the BEST I've ever had. The rice seemed wet and I don't know if the eggs made it soggy or not. On a not so great note, there was a strand of hair in my fried rice so we sent it back and another one was brought out. The waiter kept apologizing but I know it was just a mistake so I let it slide. Our whole meal came out to be around $35 - for that price, I would've expected something more satisfying. There was only one person running around to take orders which makes it hard to please everyone, the family next to us waited a really long time for their orders to be taken. It was a nice try but I don't think I would come back for the "hawaiian" fried rice .. maybe I'll try curry next time?

    By far my favorite thai restaurant in the Bay Area. Having been to Thailand, I can say that the food is very authentic tasting. The drunken noodles in particular are delicious. Be sure to request the Thai chili wheel and for those chopped Chili's in fish oil for extra flavor!

  • Van I.

    My new favorite Thai place in SJ. The place is small but its clean and the atmosphere is nice. The service is great and the food is brought out fast. The food is awesome! I've had the papaya salad with some sticky rice because they just go well together. Basil wings are a good blend of sweet, spicy and crispy. Hawaiian fried rice (pineapple fried rice at other places) is tasty. And the panang curry is pretty good, if they added more vegetables like green beans, it be delicious. All in all, love this place and will come here often.

    came here after doing a little damage at the mall. my mom was hungry for some lunch and well,, i yelped this place!! what a beautiful find! parking in the rear and it was easy to find. I'm glad we went here. let me tell you my experience! we got the green curry, drunk noodles, crab fried rice and got complimentary salad and soup. Green curry with shrimp- amaze-balls!! Eggplant was cooked perfectly not too soft at all. Cooked well enough to still have thy bite to it. Great flavor and spice was perfect.not spicy as I would have thought. Loved the basil that was in it. Most places just use the basil as a garnish but not here! Oh and also the shrimp was still tail on but literally just the tail the shell part that connects the tail and body they took off. I thought that was actually pretty neat for them to do makes u enjoy the entire shrimp! Drunken noodles with chicken- awesome dish. everything cooked perfectly! Although the carrots were cut a bit too thin and it was on the border of being overcooked and soggy but they got lucky! It just didn't fit the consistency of the other cut veggies. But this dish was still really good. Crab fried rice- they used real crab! Great portion on the crab too. It's not too much that the oceany taste of the crab over powers the aromatics of the rice but not too little to make u think u got dooped! Very fluffy rice and didn't seem to be drenched in oil! Pad Thai with chicken and medium spice. It was delicious. Tho the chicken was a bit dry. I won't knock em for it though. The Flavors were excellent and the spiciness was perfect for me a little too spicy for my mother. But I tell you all the dishes we ordered did not disappoint Complimentary salad and soup - fresh crispy lettuce with a very well made dressing. Great start to a great meal. The soup was well seasoned and the vegetables that were in it were not soggy or over cooked. Perfect execution! This place is really small but the flavors and foods are a bomb waiting to blow in ur mouth! I'm the type of person that loves hole in the wall type places like this. At first glance you wouldn't think of much about this place. In honesty I've passed it so many times before my first time trying and remember saying that it probably sucked... Well for all those years it was definitely my loss. Pricing was great to decent! And they've got a happy hour discount after 3pm. So get ur booty down there and have some top quality authentic Thai food. Not only will your stomach be satisfied but your heart will too!

    I found this place by luck as I was browsing around Valley Fair for a good lunch spot and I did NOT want to resort to the food court. Anyway, the food here is amazing. By far the best Thai cuisine I've had to date. Everything is so fresh-tasting and the service is attentive. Their lunch specials are simply too good to pass up. I definitely recommend the pad thai. Perfect. The seating area is pretty small and the parking can be bothersome but if you can persist through those, it's well worth the effort. I live approximately 20 minutes away from this restaurant yet I'm always willing to drive here just to get a bite to eat.

    From the outside, this place might not seem like much being located in a corner of a seemingly random building that is right next to a very busy street and near 2 major shopping malls. But once you are inside, you forget that you are even next to a busy street or close to a mall. service is great, I was immediately seated and our table was given a glass of iced water with a lemon slice. ordered the See Ew Noodle with beef - medium spicy (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). full of flavor and an assortment of ingredients. also got the mango tango dish which is shrimp and chicken cooked with big chunks of mango and cashew nuts served with rice. this dish was also superb! the sauce blended so well with the other ingredients which also matched each other. waiter gets an a+, water was filled the entire time without me noticing, and he even boxed up all of the leftovers for me. all of the servers were polite and made the meal very enjoyable. as an added bonus, i got the 15% off discount on the entire bill that occurs on tues/wed after 3PM highly recommended place especially if you are hungry after browsing around valley fair/Santana row. will frequent more often!

    Wow, this place is really really good and so close to Valley Fair!!! Came here yesterday and ordered the crab fried rice, calamari, and thai basil w/ shrimp and sticky rice, o and a side of cucumber salad. The crab fried rice was the best and it even came w/ good size pieces of crab in it :P I probably wouldn't order the calamari again because there were no tentacles and it was only okay. Also, really like the shrimp dish and would get the cucumber size salad again!

    Love their food so much! Been a fan of their food ever for 3 years now. The staff is very nice and courteous, and do their best t accommodate all their customers. Their fresh coconut water is delicious. Be sure the try the Fried Rice and Pad Thai with egg and tofu! Their Spicy Cashew Chicken and/or Prawns is a very good combination with rice and pad thai. If you like curry, their Panang Chicken Curry is very good, too!

  • Lisa T.

    Ate here for the first time last night. The yellow curry was a little $$(10.95) for the portion size but very good. We also had the pad thai (11.95) which was yummy but could have been more generous with the prawns (only 2), and the rad na beef (9.95) was super good. And the egg rolls were good but the dipping sauce made them even better!

  • Jamie C.

    Small as hell. Literally a hole in a wall spot. Tried the panang curry and See Ew with chicken...I don't know why they didn't call it Pad See Ew, but whatever. Medium spiciness was not spicy at all, I'll try the next level up in the future. They seem a little short staffed, don't expect quick service if you're going to dine here. Price is typical thai food prices. The curry was pretty tasty. Right across the mall, and really close to the free way. If you don't go to Valleyfair / Santana Row often, one could say It's kind of hard to spot from first glance so be aware.

    Came here earlier this week with my roommate. First of all, this place is TINY and we came at a very busy time (weeknight around 8pm). Service was a hot mess, that's for sure. Our entrees did come out quickly (I'll give them that) but I almost had to beg for them to bring our drinks. Drinks came out at least 5-7 minutes after our food, and our sides of rice didn't come until at least 10 minutes after the drinks. It kind of made it hard to eat or enjoy the meal because I kept feeling like I missing crucial items. Looking around, almost every other table was extremely unhappy (missing drinks, food was wrong, needed the check, etc.). I'm going to chalk it up to being understaffed/ having an off night but hopefully they aren't always like this. The food was good though! I got the chicken/ baby corn/ onion/ garlic. I wanted extra veggies so I asked if they could add spinach and broccoli and they did. My only complaint was that I asked for it medium-spicy and it came out suppppper mild and bland :(. When I added the red hot sauce though it was perfect and so delicious! I would definitely get it again. And for some reason their brown rice is the BEST EVER. I don't know how to explain it but it's different from any kind that I've had. Overall, the food was yummy and I'd get it for takeout but I probably wouldn't dine in here again.

  • Andrea S.

    If I could give it zero star, I would. I went there for dinner on a Friday night. It is understandable for the longer wait on Friday night because the restaurant is close to Santana Row. So I went there, waited and waited, and it took about 40 minutes of wait, finally, I politely asked the staff to sit me outside of the restsurant, since there're outdoor sitting available. They did, which was good. I ordered Pad Thai, the taste was okay, normal, I was not particularly impressed, because it tastes same as other Thai restaurants. Throughout the whole time, from the moment they brought the dish and tea to me, to end of the meal, there was no one around, checking whether additional service was needed. The Whole Time, which was about 25-30 minutes of eating. And at the end of the meal, I asked the waitress why no one bothered to check on my table, the lady just apologized, took the bill and went back. I assumed since they apologized, everything should be fine, that they would attend to the customers' needs better, but no. I had to wait another 15 minutes to get my bill processed. I could, easily, just go inside the restaurant and talk to them about what I needed (chilli pepper sauce and more tea), but why should I ? Part of owning and running a restaurant is to tailored to customers needs. I don't believe the food is that food and the service is any good. They basically just ignored their customers, becuase the customers was sitting outside than inside. I would not go back to this restaurant again. They should learn from the start on how to better at customer service. Simply apologizing and leave the customers out in the cold for an hour doesn't cut it.This is just a perfect example of terrible, terrible customer service.

    Aside from the fact that the waitstaff are generally in a bad mood, and the different dishes don't come out within 5 minutes of each other, there was something truly unacceptable. Within a minute of ordering they brought out one of the dishes - a beef thing. That's fast cooking for sure, but it was COLD. Like, had been sitting out for a long time. I asked if it was supposed to be cold, because I hadn't ordered it before and wasn't 100% sure; the waitress grunted at me and took it away. It returns, steaming hot, a few minutes later. It had obviously been MICROWAVED. They took the same dish that had been sitting out for god knows how long and fucking microwaved it, the meat was overdone and chewy. I'm not sure if the stomach ache later was from the meat being dangerous or from me just being so insulted, but I know that I'm never going back. UPDATE: there was hair in the leftovers container.

  • Lyn W.

    I love thai food specially if they don't take advantage of their customers. My family had been to a lot of Thai restaurants but we haven't experienced being taken advantage. Usually when you charge your customers of 6 or more a gratuity tip you post it in your menu. I've never been into a restaurant that charges their customer gratuity tip for a party of 4. when we got our bill and looked at it they included the gratuity tip already, my husband and I looked at each other but too tired to argue so we paid, after we got our receipt surprised to see they're asking for an additional tip!!!!!! WTH!! Their price is ridiculously high and small portions. Tiny place and unfriendly staff. While we are eating the staff keep coming back and forth like watching us and waiting for us to hurry up to finish our food. It would be nice to eat your dinner at a restaurant that you do not feel being rushed and lets you enjoy your food. Most importantly a restaurant that won't take advantage adding a tip on a customers bill when they feel like it. Won't be coming back here again. 2 stars for the food.

    Hidden gem located across the street from Valley Fair Shopping Mall (actually across from Chase). My wife and I ordered: Panang Curry with tofu (medium spice) - Excellent! Generous portions and perfect amount of spice. Medium tasted like medium... there are a lot of other thai places out there where medium = nothing. What I like about panang curries is the fact that there's usually leftovers...at least the curry... and it makes a great leftover dish Pad See Ew with Chicken - Again, big portions with lots of chicken and broccoli. Not too oily and the perfect amount of soy sauce taste. The chicken was plentiful...maybe a tad on the dry side. Thai iced tea was great! Tasted freshly made and not overly sweet. The customer service was excellent...the cashier/waitress lady was very friendly and welcoming. Quick to refill our water too! To our surprised we received a 15% off discount...turns out Tues/Weds after 3pm, they offer you 15% off your bill. Awesome! The restaurant is pretty small so it can get crowded during the lunch or dinner rushes... and the parking lot behind was dark. None of the lights back there were working. (sorry had to dock a star for that). Siam Fine Thai Cusine and House of Siam (downtown) are my goto places for great Thai food.

    It makes me really sad to write this review but this place seems to be following the footsteps of many other Thai places who used to be good but then got too cocky (like Krung Thai which used to be good about 5 years ago but now it's garbage.) I have been coming here consistently for the past 5 years. They have raised their prices several times while the quality has gone down. The curry is of a much more watery consistency and they barely put any meat in the dishes. Yesterday, I ordered panang curry with calamari and there were exactly 8 small shriveled pieces of calamari in the dish, and it was overcooked. I also ordered Pad See Ew and the noodles were soggy and mushy whereas before, they were better quality noodles. I hope they get it together before they get added to the list of restaurants that used to be awesome but now suck ass.

    I'm writing my review as I sit in the restaurant. I pulled in to the place after catchif a glimpse of the sign while at the stop light; it is hidden and easy to miss if you aren't looking for it! I drive the street a couple times a week and just noticed the place tonight. I was immediately greeted upon entering. The server gave just the right level of attention. I asked to sit outside, as the weather was perfect. There is a lot of traffic on Stevens Creek, but I didn't mind. The server told me she would watch my belongings (motorcycle gear) while I used the Gent's. She explained that she had her purse stolen from behind the counte at a different restaurant and didn't want any of her customers to have the same fate. Thanks for that! I ordered "The King & I", a recommended house specialty with salmon, veggies, and red curry. I wasn't asked about spiciness, and don't eat Thai often enough to have remembered. Still, the dish had a little kick. I would have liked a touch more heat, but it was tasty, nonetheless! I shall order the coconut ice cream on the recommendation of another Yelp!er... And the coconut ice cream was delicious! I asked the server about it, and she told me it is made by a Thai family and the restaurant buys batches from them. The ice cream is a slightly different flavor than I imagined, with chunks of coconut instead of shredded bits. Tasty, and recommended! I will definitely be back. As mentioned by another reviewer, it is probably not good for groups of more than 4 or maybe six. There is limited seating, both inside and outside.

    Fast service and great food! Small place but that's ok. Went for dinner on Friday night. Nice and friendly waiters. Eggplant with prawns is delicious! Pad thai has always been solid! Spicy Basil Chicken is good. We ask for it spicy and we love it. The hotter the better. Yellow curry was great too. Will be back soon. Keep up the good work.

    i decided to try 3 new dishes this time at Siam Fine Thai.. This time i got the spicy fried rice with chicken (i asked for very hot) , i got the Angel Wing, and the Crying Tiger... The angel wing was amazing .. basically chicken stuffed with veg and noodles.. and they crying tiger was cut steak with a green curry.. the fried rice is so light that you will forget that its fried.. i was very please.. and washed it all down with some amazing Thai Ice Tea.. I love this place and look forward to new dishes everytime i go.. Even though I could probably eat the Musaman Curry every day!!

    We went there based on reviews from Yelp. This is a new restaurant and has the 'Grand Opening' banners when we went there. The drunken noodles were not very good. The flavors were lacking and they put in a bunch of vegetables that you usually don't find in drunken noodles (like green beans, broccoli, cabbage, baby corn, carrots...). The pad thai noodle were all lumped together. Probably won't go back there again.

    Good Good Good. Located in a small plaza next to Santana Row, place is a bit of a hole in the wall (ie. it's small) no large parties here. Great prices for lunch, good portions, and the flavor is very good. Not over-sauced. Recommend.

    Great little place. While it was indeed small, the fact that there were windows all around made the place bright and didn't feel cramped or crowded at all. I ordered the penang curry with tofu (medium) and my bf got the pad thai (hot). While neither of us found the food to be as spicy as we would have liked, it was absolutely delicious, and we remedied the spice level by just asking them to bring the hot sauces. My bf actually said that the pad thai was better than Dusita's (which is hard to beat), especially because they didn't overcrowd the plate with bean sprouts. And, also in comparison to Dusita (our usual go to place for Thai food), I LOVE how I had the option here to have my tofu soft or deep fried. (I chose soft.) The service was much friendlier and more attentive (we did not find them slow at all) than at Jasmine Thai and the food was better, too. The prices are pretty much the norm for most thai food restaurants, and there was optional seating outside. Plus, we went on a Wednesday evening, so we got the 15% discount. Dusita is only better than Siam in that their spice level is more at par with our palates.

    EAT HERE. Siam Fine Thai is one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to in California. The food quality is easily on par with the trendy and always-crowded Osha Thai in San Francisco, but without the frenzy. (One might call the atmosphere "sedate," but to me that's not an insult. I eat out for the food, not the crowds.) The food was, simply put, fantastic. Perfect summer rolls, a lovely battered-and-friend sweet potato (NOT YAM) appetizer, awesome "King and I" curried salmon, delectable seafood in a delicate, spicy "hot basil" sauce. Portions were just the right size, and they didn't skimp on the jasmine rice. Price was right, too. A few things going against this lovely restaurant: (a) Location, and (b) timing. It's in an otherwise-unremarkable strip mall across the street from Valley Fair, and they opened right at the start of the recession. We noticed that, despite the fantastic cuisine, the restaurant was less than 50% full (on a Friday night, no less). The waitress told me they're facing some tough times right now. I really want them to stay open! So please go and eat there, and enjoy! Besides, it's the easiest place to park in the neighborhood.

    Christmas Day. The two of us got there at about five, after a short drive from a matinée at Camera 7. Despite being slammed with take-out business, Siam showed us fine, friendly service and, most importantly, delicious and attractively presented food. I had one of the specials; green curry sea bass. My friend had pad Thai w/tofu and NO spice. I can't vouch for his choice but mine was terrific. I added some brown jasmine rice to my food from his order and was delighted with my meal (and my choice of "medium" for the spice level: perfect for me.) My fish was perfectly cooked, as were the vegetables and sauce. Everything tasted fresh, with several levels of flavor. I finished my leftover green curry sauce with a spoon because it was too good to leave behind. The dining area is about the size of my studio apartment but my friend and I were still able to have a fine holiday meal together. "Good things come in small packages." still applies, it seems.

  • Kelvin Y.

    Very friendly Lady. Food is relly good! just a tad over priced. One other con about the place is that its small that the cooking from the kitchen comes into the eating area. Some of the heavy chili was starting to irritate my nose. Aside from that, I'm defaintely a fan!

  • Igor K.

    Food is OK but service is inadequate. There was a hair in my plate yesterday. Although they offered a replacement plate the cook made it super spicy, I could not eat it. It looked like a retaliation for my initial complain.

  • Doreen J.

    I had a facial appointment upstairs with Monina Wright of World of Health but I was super early so I tried this place out. I'm a big sucker for fried rice and when they had it on their lunch menu, I couldn't resist. Less than $10 for a lunch which was left over is my idea of a great place. Aside from this, I got a discount because they are new. The place is small but it was cozy for me since I went there alone. I saw the lady also bring the gentlemen next to me a free bowl of soup while he waited for his To Go order. If you like spicy food like I do, tell them that you want it "Thai Hot".

  • Elaine T.

    Definitely the tastiest authentic Thai restaurant in the San Jose area! I used to think that Layang Layang was good until this place came along. The dishes are seasoned to perfection and the soups/curries are rich in taste. I would recommend going for family style during dinner time, as the portions are pretty big and I'm personally not one for every bite the same. The Thai coffee is delicious with a hint of liqueur. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The only con is that the restaurant is a bit small (used to be a tiny sushi joint).

  • BJ A.

    One of the best restaurants for Thai food in San Jose (around the corner from Santana Row). They have great food and really friendly service. Nai is extremely accommodating of any special dietary needs and does a fabulous job having his chef conjure up delicious food that conforms to one's requests! My personal favorite is their Spicy Thai Basil with steamed tofu and tons of veggies. BJ

  • Kaitlyn H.

    Surprisingly tasty considering it's in this teeny tiny hole in the wall strip mall across the street from the Mall. We stumbled upon it randomly when our first choice wasn't open yet. Points to Siam! My fav dishes include the mango salad, the coconut tom yum soup and the sea bass! I'd pass on the Pad Thai though.

  • Diane D.

    We were at Valley Fair and decided to go across the street to give it a try. When I entered the restaurant, It took a while for the waiter to notice me come in but he was VERY welcoming and friendly. I was happy because I never get a warm welcoming from anyone before at any restaurant. There was only one table occupied during the time so it wasn't busy at all. We ordered a seafood combination pad thai that was very delicious. I really enjoyed the pad thai. We also ordered Angel Wings that was unique and great. It was the first time I ever heard of the Angel Wings and I will have to order it again the next time we come eat here. Its fried in panko style with chicken and noodles inside. It felt like an eggroll in some ways but it was really good. The thai ice good. I've enjoyed it because its not as sweet as other places I have tried. For dessert, I ordered a Fried Banana with chocolate chip Ice cream and it was yummy. Its like any other place you can get but it was quite large. I expected it to be small and only one scoop of ice cream but they actually gave a generous amount. The price is quite decent and not too expensive. Its really about the same price as any other thai places I have been too. The bill came out to be $34.00 but we did order a seafood combo, Ice tea, and dessert so it added up. Parking was a little confusing to figure out since its behind the building but there are a lot of parking spaces. The restaurant is a little hard to spot unless you are really looking for it. Its very small and tight inside but CLEAN. That's a big plus. +5 stars for the delicious food and the warm and sweet welcome from the waiters/waitresses!

    In their price range the food is outstanding. I recommend the Tango Mango and the thai ice tea. Also the staff is nice. However, I suggest they work on the restroom and the restaurant ambience a bit. Yet I always enjoyed my meals.

  • Nina N.

    pretty decent thai food. phad thai, garlic eggplant, and any of your favorites are decent. Nothing amazing, but definitely better than krung thai. That place is a serious joke. after a good night of working, or going out with the girls, this place is worth walking to for me than going down on the row, or when I lived there.

    How have I never reviewed my FAVORITE Thai restaurant?! We have been coming here for a couple of years and LOVE it. Here is why: 1. The food is consistently excellent. Dine in or take out, I have never had a bad meal. Actually, I have never had a bad dish. The freshness, portions, flavors and spice are always right on. I usually get the panang red curry chicken or the shrimp pad thai. Also, the roti with yellow curry is delicious, as is the tom khar soup, the eggplant with chicken, and the bbq chicken. 2. The service is outstanding. They are genuine and warm, even when they are busy. They always get it right. And they appreciate our business. What's not to like about that?! We bring friends here whenever possible, and everyone we have ever introduced to Siam Fine Thai really enjoys it.

    Found this place while I was randomly driving around with my friends. The place is not that obvious - it is right next to Santana Row, but you will never notice it while driving :) Anyways... I have been here couple of times now. The food is fabulous. The lunch menu works out pretty cheap and its delicious! The soup is very flavorful. Didnt like the egg rolls much - I never like it anyways. Thumbs up for their pad thai and green curry chicken. Their pad thai portion was huge though. So watch out! When we went for dinner, we tried the panang curry and the mussaman curry. Both were fabulous. Also, try out their ginger tea. And their service is awesome. The lady is so sweet and very helpful. This cute little place is definitely one of my favorites!

  • Dianna L.

    Better than Krung Thai! I went here to order to-go. Red Curry (with any veggies I wanted on the house!), Pad Thai, and two Thai Teas. It was pretty good although not as great as Osha in SF. All was 30ish dollars not bad. The bf enjoyed his dinner and so did I...especially the curry! very nice ppl here too!

  • Jordan B.

    I LOVE Thai food and Siam is one of the best in the West! I eat here on the regular and I have never been disappointed. I always do takeout so I can't comment on the in-dining experience but the food is superb. Try the mango chicken and shrimp curry special WOO HOOOO !!

  • lonni f.

    Went for the first time, and the food was excellent. I had the Mango Tango, my wife had the Spicy Catfish, and my son had the BBQ Chicken. The service was weird. Started off with a male server who was very friendly & attentive, but then he disappeared. Then we were stuck with this female server who basically ignored us and we had to beg to get our water glasses refilled. We'll go back, and see if this was a fluke.

  • Miguel B.

    Heard good reviews about this place so decided to give it a try, at first the place was a little full, one open table of four, would not sit us because we were two and not four... Made us wait 10 mins until a party of two left, so after looking st the menu I decided on yellow curry 9.00 nice and mildly spicy with chicken, soft potatoes and carrots in the curry. The only thing was the curry did not come with rice. So I had to order seperate... It was delicious but still did not like the fact that I needed to get a side of rice. I also ordered the see eu noodles 8.95, which were great as well, I thought they could use alittlw more flavor but it was really delicious. We also ordered the crying tiger9.95 which we could have done without ... Was not good. Overall the experience was good, good food paid around 35 for two people and had some leftovers too. It was my friends first time having Thai food and she liked it enough to want to go back ...

    Nice little gem found on yelp. I live right over here but have never really noticed it before. Right across from Valley Fair but not the craziness you encounter at Valley Fair/Santana Row. Had the chicken with broccoli and beef pad see-ew. Both were good, service was great and the thai iced tea was pretty great too

  • Dave C.

    i would have given siam five stars, but my tofu tasted a liiitle weird and was a bit cold. other than that, this place was awesome. the service was great, even though the waitress's attitude seemed a little surly, but i think that's just her personality. my water stayed filled and everything i asked for she brought promptly. the thai spring rolls were pretty run-of-the-mill, but the homemade plum sauce they came with made them much better. the pad thai was delicious. perfect amount of sweet & spice, with lots of tasty, perfectly cooked veggies (carrots, baby corn, lots of broccoli, green onions). i would definitely go back here, but i would skip the spring rolls. frank sinatra on the stereo and 10% off on tuesdays & wednesdays is a nice touch too.

    One of the best thai restaurants that I have found in Silicon Valley! I do wish their prices were a little more competitive though. Expect to pay about $10/dish. Duck Curry - yum! yum! Green Curry - yum! yum! Pad Thai - yum but I wish they would use a thicker noodle! Crab Fried Rice - yum! 15% take-out discount on Tuesday and Wednesday: awesome! Winner, winner chicken dinner.

    This place is AWESOME! The bad reviews must have just been a bad day or I must have been lucky? Anyways, my experience here was SUPERB. Service was excellent, although we were there on a Wed night and it was a little slow but the waiter was SO genuinely nice and attentive. The place was really small but totally cute. The food was definitely more authentic than other Thai restaurants around. We ordered: Glass noodle salad - med spicy and it was perfect. I like spicy but I always order 1 level below at Thai restaurants and this was just right. The sauce was yummy and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. Green Curry chicken - when it came it it was more green then usual, so I was a little weary but it was so good. There was a lot of eggplant and chicken in it that was cooked just right and the sauce again perfectly spicy. Drunken Noodle chicken - this one actually didn't have enough sauce. Not that it wasn't flavorful but I usually like my noodles pretty well sauced. However, there were a ton of veggies, broccoli, cabbage, green beans, baby corn and carrots and all of it was cooked al dente, like it's supposed to be cooked. We got 15% off for dining on a Wed but with or without the discount I will definitely be frequenting this place when I'm craving Thai. Kap Kun Kaa!

  • Vitoo S.

    Satay Chicken was really nice and tender not too dry like some other place. Peanut sauce that go with Sate could be more spicy. We have Red Curry with Salmon. I thing they call it King and I, and Green Curry chicken. Both were really good. I really happy to see that fried banana with ice cream came with a good portion of ice cream. Staff here really helpful and attentive,

    Picked up dinner to go mid-week. Ordered chicken Pad See Eew and Pleasing Garlic Pork. I ordered the PSY a bit spicier than I usually do and I didn't enjoy it as much, although it was still good. The PGP was awesome. Will definitely order both again.

  • Shaloo G.

    My new favorite Thai place in the South Bay! I used to live in Berkeley and moved down here 2 years ago. I've been looking for an authentic Thai restaurant with delicious food and Siam Fine Thai is about as good as it gets. We ordered the "Drunken Noodles" and "Panang Curry with Tofu and Vegetables". The dishes were well balanced, not too spicy and very flavorful. The best part of the meal was the dessert - sweet sticky rice with coconut ice cream; the rice was melt-in-your mouth good and the ice cream was just the right sweetness. The only con is that the place did get very busy soon after we got there and service was a bit slow. But the yummy food more than made up for it! Overall a great experience.

    Omg! This is the best thai place I've been to. I really love the service. The plates are beautiful. The food is delicious! Need larb has just the right amount of flavor. We asked for some spice and they gave spice. My bff and I ordered the basil chicken, omg solo good. Really crispy on the outside. Also ordered pad see ewe. And it was delicious! !!! Asked for spicy and they made it spicy. Love restaurants that actually listen to the customers. If you're feeling for thai after shopping at valley fair mall, go across the street to siam thai!!! So good.

    I went with 4 other friends to Siam Fine Thai Cusine around 7:30pm today. It wasn't that crowded although the place is small so we got seated right away. We ordered green seafood curry, papaya salad, beef, and prawn/squid with garlic seasoning. All 5 of us felt very satisfied with the food. My favorite dish out of the 4 would be the Prawn/Squid with the Garlic Seasoning. People tend to not notice this restaurant because it's by a very busy street where people just want to go directly to destination. It's right across from Valleyfair and by the 880 freeway. I wouldnt have gone here but my friends suggested it when we past by. The people workers were very nice and the food came out fairly quick. Do not go in a group of 6 people or more. This place is actually suggested for 4 or less since its really compact.

  • LT T.

    This place served really good food! I ordered Thai Iced tea, drunken noodles, papaya salad everything was delicious! & for dessert we had the fried banana with ice cream. Yum the prices are really affordable and reasonable for the amount of food you get. There are limited parking spaces but we got parking with no problem. This restaurant is located off Stevens Creek Blvd across from Valley Fair Mall. The restaurant is a little small wished it was a little bigger.. but i would still come back here because the thai food was authentic with good flavors.

    great food ! small spot, crazy traffic at night given it location next to santana row....but they do have some spaces in the back. the staff are great, the food was excellent and i am a total picky thai eater (have had trouble finding a great place in san jose since i moved from the city). dessert was ok......i have been spoiled in the city.

  • Obelisk O.

    Siam is a very small, almost cafe style restaurant across from Valley Fair Mall. No great elegant Thai decor, by no stretch of imagination. Seats maybe 20 very closely. We had a 2 for 1 coupon, which gave us alittle bit of liberty with our choices. The food has authenticity which was great, good portion size for the money. I ordered a special for the day, Fried trout (whole) w/mushrooms & bell peppers ($13.95). It was a full size small trout, but it is hard to deep fry a small trout and keep it flaky, without having to drown it in sauce, it was dry. The coconut sauce was good, but I would have preferred some flavor in my trout. My boyfriend ordered a fried rice dish w/ prawns...Lots of nice size prawns and large enough portion for 2, and some to take home. Service was friendlyI would go again.

    I'm Thai, born in Thailand, raised in Thailand, now I'm here eating Thai food, what are the odds? I must say that this place is pretty much what I left back home in Thailand. The environment and food is very authentic to what I remember from back home. Family owned and operated with a very homey feel. They specialize in ladna (if you don't know what it is just ask for it and get it). The trout with the sweet and sour sauce over it is really good as well. There are many other items on the menu that are good but those two are some of the ones that stand out. This is the only place I've been to that remembers me by name (can you say A+ service and hospitality?), the food and service is consitently good, and I would consider this my home away from home when it comes to food.

  • Jordan L.

    I've been coming here for about eight years and the quality has never wavered! The chicken thai basil has great heat to it and the pad thai with shrimp has great flavor. The vegetarian fried egg rolls are very tasty and the chutnee that comes with it is wonderful! The only issue I've ever had with this place is sometimes the service can be a bit slow, usually when it is the male servers. Whenever I've had the female servers everything is prompt and efficient. I've brought both my family and friends here and they love it as well!

    My girlfriends and I ordered take-out from Siam Fine Thai Cuisine for New Years, and since then I've been hooked! It is SO good. Their drunk noodles and curries are some of the best I've ever had. The mango and sticky sweet white rice for dessert was something I'd definitely recommend. Definitely coming back here over and over again. The people that work there are very nice, and very attentive.

    THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. IT IS EVERYTHING YOU COULD ASK FOR IN THAI FOOD RESTAURANT. GREAT FOOD, AMAZING AND NICE SERVICE. I lived in San Jose for 2 1/2 years and only discovered this place in the last 6 months, I miss is sooo much! Please support this mom and pop restaurant, they truly deserve your business. The yellow and musamman curry is to die for! Not too much seating, but still a great place to dine!

  • Scott F.

    I am not a Thai food expert. However, I have eaten at many Thai restaurants all over the country. This is without a doubt my favorite. It is now actually my favorite restaurant of any type! I've been there three times in two weeks. Here are the dishes we have tried: Seafood Tom Yum soup (OMG!! Amazing); Mango Tango (Incredible!); Sweet and Sour Chicken (nothing like the sticky sweet Chinese version - can taste the fresh fruit!); Drunk(en) Noodles (about average or a little above). The service is fast and friendly. I have been there on weekdays (discount on Tuesday and Wednesday) and on the weekend. My only complaint, is the size of the restaurant. It is very small. Based on the other Yelp reviews and mine, I expect it is going to be increasingly difficult to get a table without a long wait.

  • Stephanie L.

    We went to Siam Fine Thai Cuisine for the first time tonight. WOW! This is definitely a hidden gem. The decor is so-so, but the restaurant and kitchen both were very clean. The food is truly outstanding, and is some of the best we've had outside of Thailand. Foodwise, we had the following: Chicken Satay: Chicken was tender and the peanut sauce was very flavorable. Tofu Pad Thai : Excellent flavor and the spices were all mixed excellently. It had just the right mix of veggies, noodle, tofu. I got it medium spicy, and it was delicious. Seafood Red Curry : My husband said this was also outstanding. He says this is one of his new favorites, as the prawns were cooked to perfection (and most other thai places tend to have them chewy). He said it was excellent flavor. The food was incredibly tasty, clean, and fresh. You can tell that they take great care in their dishes, and I would most definitely return. It is all around a great restaurant, and is definitely comparable if not better than some of the other well known thai places in the south bay. I would highly recommend their food. Not only is it legitimate, but it is downright tasty. The price is really reasonable as well and the service was very attentive. Definitely worth checking out!

  • Mindy J.

    Siam Fine Thai, you are officially up there with Tee Nee Thai as one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the South Bay. In fact, you may have surpassed them as far as your Pad Thai is concerned. Your Basil Chicken and Panang Curry are winners, too! There were only three of us on Tuesday, but the dishes were so delicious and we were so ravenous after nearly two hours of tennis that we finished ALL FOUR. Hot Basil Chicken, Pad Thai Chicken, Vegetarian Panang Curry, Yellow Curry Roti. They were the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and hearty. With a little glass of Robert Mondavi Chardonnay I was set! Know before you go: this place is tiny. I think they seat even fewer than Tee Nee Thai, so be prepared for a wait, get takeout, or go on an off-day like a Tuesday or Wednesday. Another reason to go on these days? They offer 15% all orders on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Score! This place is next door to Santana Row, across the street from Valley Fair Mall. From Stevens Creek turn onto S. Baywood Ave and park in the private lot directly behind the restaurant.

    So upon my entry into Santa Clara I had a notorious Thai craving. Thai food joints are usually hit and miss but I had my trusty Yelp navigator to point me in the right direction. I saw people had commented about a competing Krung Thai and I have never been there but what I CAN say is that this place had the best Pad Thai that has ever burned my Filipino lips. I tried my buddy's Drunken Noodle dish and it was on point. It was small but we received good service. The fried banana dish looked marvelous but we were too full to indulge. Get some.

    This place is pretty amazing. I've been here twice now and will always come back for the food. Wait time might be a bit on the long side but not to horribly. No waiting area either so that's no bueno. I'll keep coming back though as the food is amazing

    Came here once for dinner and once for lunch (a day or two later!) and had a great experience both times. Small place, but delicious food and nice people. The eggplant was really tasty, and came with a choice of meat as well! The prices for lunch and dinner were very reasonable. High points: Lunch menu (until 3pm) is a lot of food at a great price. The portions seemed comparable to the dinner ones (a bit smaller), but come with soup and salad at a lower price point than the dinners. Low points: Sitting in the corner near the air conditioning unit can get a bit annoying as it loudly clicks on and off, but if you're not in that corner you won't notice it.

    mediocre thai food. not sure how it got 4 stars, other than the cheap lunch specials ($8/entree). will i come back? probably not. thai pepper in sunnyvale is much better.

  • Tony N.

    The service was mediocre, but I wish I could say the same about the food. It was New Years and pretty much everything was closed. I noticed that this place was open, so my girlfriend and I decided to come here since the reviews were pretty good. I hope they didn't hire all of you to write good things about their super crappy food. We ordered the Green Curry and Grilled Garlic Pork. The Green Curry tasted like pea soup with no hint of curry whatsoever. How did they manage to call this Green Curry when it doesn't taste ANYTHING like CURRY?! The pork dish was alright, but where's the garlic at? I don't know why this place name their dishes a certain a name and forget to put the ingredient in the dish. Maybe they put a reject chef during New Years, because the true Chef got to take the day off. I don't know how this place is bombarded with good reviews while I just had the crappiest Green Curry ever.

    It had only one server on a Sunday night so the service was slow to say the least. The papaya salad did not taste fresh and it lacked the zesty flavor that it's supposed to have. The beef in the drunk noodles was over cooked. The hot basil chicken was OK, but the curry bass tasted pretty bland and it was nothing to write home about. This place is just an average joint. I don't know how it got those 4 or 5-star ratings.. maybe you guys just haven't been to the really good ones yet.

    My friend and I got the Duck Curry, the Pad Thai, and the Appetizer Sampler. Everything was incredibly tasty! If you like spice though, encourage them to really add spice to the Pad Thai ("Thai Spicy please"). Even for this white girl, it was still not that much, even with "Thai Spice". I was surprised. I expected it to burn. Service was excellent and food was delivered quickly.

    Very unassuming location, small dining area, tight parking in the back.........but who cares. This is the best Thai food we've had in the area. Nothing fancy, just great authentic tastes. Our favorites: Roasted duck curry, drunken noodles with tofu, tom yum soup with seafood. Medium spiciness seems to be just the perfect blend between enjoyment and watering eyes.

  • Leah P.

    Not much on looks, but great on taste. We had Pad Thai (which was yummy if a little sweet), Pad Prik, Thai fried rice, Thai Iced Tea and the Tom Kar soup. All of these dishes I always order when we go Thai to compare and Siam was great. And the service was fantastic - really nice people.

    This was a bad meal in all respects. Let's start with bad service: the waiter took about 25 to 30 mins to come to our table to take our order after being seated. Considering this is a wine bar, their wine selection was not the best and 2 out of the 3 wines in the flight that we ordered were mediocre. The food was average tasting served in silly fancy presentation. The drunken noodles were neither spicy nor "drunken", the yellow curry had a good spice to it but lacked quality in ingredients (there were whole piece of chicken fat in there!) and the rice was very mushy. Really, you can't even cook rice properly? The atmosphere is wannabe-loungy with fake candles on each table and uninteresting Asian art on the walls. No, I will not be going back.

    This place is, without a doubt, the bee's knees! We rolled in here for a late lunch around 3:30 and had the place almost to ourselves. Sure, its a little small, but its cozy. The waiter was incredibly attentive aside from an awkward couple of minutes when we were waiting to order. Aside from that, top notch. We ordered: Tom Khar hot pot soup; wicked good... Jade felt it a little too sweet though. Red Curry with vegetables and chicken; at medium it was pretty weak on spicy, but that happens. Otherwise, great. Drunk Noodles; first time ordering these, awesome, will definitely try them again. So anyway, this place is sick. Recommended

    I was reluctant to eat, but I was getting a body wrap done upstairs, and the lady said I needed food in my system otherwise I was going to pass out. Ran downstairs, and ordered their Fried Spring Rolls (eggrolls) which turned out to be super tasty. The sauce topped it off. The gentlemen was VERY helpful and graceful, that I feel so bad right now for not leaving a tip, but I had ordered to-go that's why. He even brought me a cup of ice cold water to wait for the food. The spring rolls taste EXCELLENT when their cooked within 5 minutes, after about 30min, I wouldn't eat them. They get soggy and chewy. 5 stars guys.

    the two stars is all due to food quality for me. the servers and management have been very gracious and suitably attentive during both of my experiences at siam fine thai. the facilities are a bit cramped but cleanly overall and not especially unpleasant. i should mention that i'm a vegetarian, which only makes it more surprising to me that I could not seem to find a satisfying let alone edible option. the pad thai was especially bland and underwhelming. it's true that i've been spoiled by incredible thai gems in san francisco and berkeley but even with lowered expectations, my experience was mediocre at best.

    Very cute place. My boyfriend and I decided to try this place on Friday. We got there about 6:30pm, and there were other people waiting already. I do have to say that I don't like the entrance. its a really small place with not a lot of area to sit or stand and wait. And there is no greeting station, which makes it hard for the server to recognize that you just walked through the door. Aside from that, and the prices being a little bit higher than I expected (starting at $9 and going up to about $16 or so), the food was great, and the service was also really good. We both got the beef hot basil. We also got the spring rolls as an appetizer. The food came out pretty quickly for it being a full house, so I was a little surprised. The rolls were fantastic, and I recommend them to everyone. They weren't greasy at all. The beef hot basil doesn't come with rice so we ordered one helping of rice. It turned out that one serving of rice was enough for two people exactly. When we ordered our beef, we were asked about how hot we wanted the sauce. I ordered a mild sauce and my boyfriend got the medium. And boy could you tell the difference! I would definitely have ordered the medium next time. Overall, had a great experience and I would recommend to anyone who happens to be in the area.

  • Kristi D.

    Very good indeed! + Tom Ka Gai - super spicy and tasty. Sauce could be a little thicker . + Yellow Curry Chicken - perfect flavor, nice combo of chicken and potatoes! I was jealous that my fiance ordered it instead of me! + Basil Chicken - flavorful and well cooked but almost no sauce. It's probably a good choice if you are wanting a high-protein meal since you don't require much rice to go with it! + Good parking. - Atmosphere: a little too cafe-like, hard tables, small... I prefer the sunken in, cozy-booths of Olarn but the food is amazing. I will probably just get takeout. :)

  • Kim J.

    This place is pretty hard to find. It's in a small unknown plaza on the way to Santana Row. The menu is pretty typical of Thai food and the prices are pretty decent. Nice that it isn't too crowded (mostly because few of heard it it). I had the crab noodles which was pretty decent, but the noodles stuck together a lot and I felt that the flavoring could have tasted better. It was still pretty decent and I would try this place again. Maybe I will like it more the second time around.

  • Grace T.

    This is definitely one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Bay Area. Their dishes are cooked to perfection and they offer generous portions. My favorite dish here is the green curry with chicken. And they have the most AMAZING fried banana dessert with coconut ice cream! It's to die for! They have the friendliest and most attentive staff working here as well. If you love Thai food... This is definitely a place to check out!

  • Tu N.

    I went here on recommendations of Yelpers. Nice and cozy little restaurant. The food was decent but the portion size is so so so small that I had to order two entry for dinner and still had to go home and eat something else. Will not return bec of price and portion size.

    (2)

  • Robert A.

    OK, the food's tasty, but... Sarah B., you're right: They are inconsistent, and in all possible ways. I've asked for things searing hot, and it came back not so hot. This last time I was there (I've eaten there at least 3 times), my curry was actually searing hot. They were really nice about toning it down a bit, otherwise I'd give them a 3-star rating. They have one bathroom, and you have to go through the kitchen, past food prep stations, to get to it. It's a food-and-air-borne-illness nightmare waiting to happen, back there! The whole places is pretty cramped, as the tables go all the way to the door. Don't go if you have more than 4 people in your party.

  • Sandra L.

    I actually came here for the first time 2 days ago. IT'S DELICIOUS. We went for lunch and got the lunch special, which included soup, salad, and a little eggroll along with the main dish. Soup was pretty good. I ordered the Pad Thai (again, hella craving Thai food) and my boyfriend ordered the yellow curry. Both were really good, and well adjusted to meet my spicy needs. Haha. The place is kind of hard to find (building right across from Cheesecake Factory of VF? I don't remember) and is small. There were only a few tables inside and we had to sit pretty close to 3 other parties. It was hard not to hear what they were saying... oops. Other that that, good food and definitely worth a shot. Damn, now I want Thai food again :(

    Best Tom Kha EVER! The flavors are perfectly balanced. I LOVE this soup and order it every time I try a new Thai restaurant and have yet to find another place with Tom Kha as good as this. Another must have is their Crying Tiger. I can't help but order these two things every time I visit. The only down side is the place is TINY. Other than that I have no complaints. Love this place.

  • James P.

    This is a contemporary, small and cozy restaurant. I think the food here is better than Krung Thai, less sweet and slightly cheaper. They have variety of dishes but so far I've tried only their curries, soup and noodles and they are delightful. Service is top knot and the workers are welcoming. As for parking it's around the back.

  • linda y.

    Pretty good...my cousin & I ordered to-go...Fried Tofu (not bad) , Crab Noodle (delish), Yellow Curry Chicken (cousin said he liked it), Duck Curry (cousin said it was good, but not much meat), Tom Yum Chicken (Delish). Would be a place we would eat at again :)

    lunch specials are 'da bomb' here! it lasts until 3pm and they were nice enough to show us the menu when we entered into the restaurant at 10 till. each of the lunch specials come with a very tasty, slightly spicy thai vegetarian soup and a small salad. my husband had the chicken red curry and i chose the panang tofu 'thai spicy.' we both had tall thai ice teas and our bill was incredibly reasonable. the panang was not a disappointment but the soup was quite memorable in a good way. there is ample parking in the lot behind the building and the place is conveniently located directly across the mall. we want to come back again and try more dishes!

    After reading some Yelp reviews, my sister decided to take the family here for dinner before she went back to college. We drove there and parked in the back. It seemed to have plenty of parking but then again, we came there at a very late time. The first thing I noticed as I entered the restaurant was that it was EXTREMELY small. The tables and chairs were cramped together and the kitchen was not hidden at all from where we were sitting. We had reservations so were seated immediately. We ordered Pad Thai, Green Curry, Roti Pratha, Tom Yum Soup, and some kind of fish in some sauce. Overall, the food was alright. Nothing to fall heads over heels upon. The shrimp in the Pad Thai was overcook and very tough. The fish was also overcooked. The main complaint that we had was that it was way too sweet. I am not a big water drinker but being there forced me to down cup fulls of water as I was not barely able to handle the sweetness. The fish was especially sweet. I had to pour water into my dish, soak the fish in it, scrape off the sauce, make a huge mess, then eat the fish. The only thing I thought was delicious was the Roti Pratha. I've had roti many times, in restaurants and even frozen ones, but this one was pretty good. It wasn't greasy and the green dipping sauce was phenomenal. we ended up taking the fish to-go because no one could eat it. Although everything was way too sweet for our taste buds, I must complement on the service. As my mother always speaks her mind, she politely told the owner that the food was too sweet and she needed to cut back on the sugar. The owner apologized many times and was also very good at refilling water. I would come here again but I would ask for "No Sugar" in my dishes. Althought, I think I'll stick to Krung Thai for now.

    This place is great. It's a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but the food makes up for it. We had Pad See Ew and Panang curry and both were excellent. The service was attentive and prices reasonable. As I mentioned it's a little cramped but I would still definitely go back. Portions were not huge but good enough. This place is great. It's a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but the food makes up for it.

  • Lulu R.

    This is my favorite Thai place. They have the best green curry. Actually all of their curries are really good. I like my curries thicker and not runny. I do caution you that there spicy scale is higher than what you are used to. If you ask for medium spicy, be prepared for spicy. I also like the service a lot here. It's a family run business and they are really nice and cordial. Yes, service can be a little slow when you eat in, but they are so nice. I normally get take out and the food is always ready for my pick up.

  • Velvet P.

    Best Thai in the city by my standards! Every dish is savory with fresh ingredients, unlike some places. The place is small, so you may have to wait a bit for a table, especially around lunch time. But the most authentic food places I've found usually don't have much atmosphere, just amazing food! I recommend the green Thai curry with seafood. And the tom kah gai (spell different). Order it spicy! Enjoy

    The food was very good. We had the tofu yellow curry ordered in medium spice w/ a side of jasmine rice and the tofu pad thai. The order was out in front of us in about 7-10 minutes. Keep in mind this was on a busy Saturday evening. The waitress was attentive, but not annoying. I am definitely going to be coming back! My only gripe is that the dining area is a bit small, so eavesdropping is almost unavoidable.

  • jay n.

    love! love! loooove! this place.... I am a pretty tough critic when it comes to thai cuisines. This is due to the fact that I am very familiar with home cooked thai, southeast asian foods. However, I can say that this place deserves 5stars! Excellent service, clean, great food, easy to find parking. Its small compared to most thai restaurants, but its intimate and a great place for lunch or a casual date. My absolute favorite dish is the mango salad. It's a perfect blend of sweet n sour. The Pad thai was excellent and their duck curry is on point!! Not to mention their complimentary, imported from thailand coconut icecream for dessert with a touch of cashew nuts. I highly recommend this place over Krung Thai!

  • Frank L.

    I can't believe that I have never walked into this place even though I have seen it every time I go shopping and I shop a lot. It just goes to show that you should explore the unknowns in life. The food was amazing but pretty pricey so after shopping it was kind of depressing to pay the bill for two but it was still good and the environment nice but it is kind of small.

  • Lainey L.

    Best authentic Thai food in town. Come here at least 3 times a month. Services is excellent, the owner is the host and the waiter. They have specials every week, but my favorites are: Crab fried rice, full of flavor, you can choose spicy, med or non-spicy. I always go with med. Big portion and comes with fresh tomatoes and cucumber slices. My 2nd favorite will be the Silver noodle salad. Again you can choose how spicy you want. Other favs are: mango salad, papaya salad, grill beef salad. They also have red, green, and yellow curry which you can choose with pork, chicken, vegetables, or seafood. For curry i like to pair it with either sticky rice $2, or brown rice $2 as well. Their dessert is very tasty and authentic as well which is the mango sticky rice. They also serve lunch special, which includes salad, soup, entree with rice, and a spring roll. $ 7.95 & up, very reasonable. Overall, love love love this place and will definitely keep coming back!

  • Frank H.

    The food is fantastic. Portions are on the smallish side. Service is about average for Thai restaurants. I won't go too much into the details of every bite since all the other reviews have focused on those aspects. The only thing I do want to note is that the restaurant is relatively small. They had a hard time accommodating our party of 8 even though we had reservations. We ended up waiting about 20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated together. Ironically, they had quite a few tables open at the time, but because of the "L" shaped footprint, we had to wait for a party of 2 to finish first. Seems like a little better planning in anticipation of the upcoming larger reservation would've prevented the problem. If you want a nice quick yummy meal, this is a great choice, but if you are organizing anything larger than a party of 6, you should be prepared to wait it out.

  • Sarah B.

    Overall I love Siam Fine Thai, I try to go here when I'm in town. Their pad thai rocks my socks. That said, I find that the heat/spicy factor can be really inconsistent. I usually order my food medium spicy; most recently it wasn't hot at all! No spice or kick. But the last time I ordered the same dish, the same way it was almost too hot for me to eat. The service can also be hit or miss, depending on the wait staff that night. The owner (or at least the man I'm assuming is the owner, he is always there) is wonderful though. I'd like to give 5 stars, but the inconsistency knocks it down.

  • Nancy P.

    Ever since i found this place, i been eating here at least once a week! This has been my 3rd time already, I'm in love with their shrimp pad thai. Its small but very light and satisfying. However, a minus for their slow service.

  • Naomi H.

    This is OK Thai place to me. Tom Yum Goong ...Sweet and Spicy . no fragrance of herbs. generous amount of shrimps are plump and cooked well. Papaya Salad .... Sweet . overly dressed shredded papaya with sugary sweet sauce. whole peanuts on the top rather than chopped in pieces. Chicken Green Curry .... Not too sweet ( yay ! ) no fragrance of herbs. Plenty of eggplant and chicken pieces. Angel wings .... Highlight of the night. not traditional style of cooking but nicely recreated by them. very fluffy minced meat is coated by bread crumbs and deep fried. It is freshly made and not greasy at all. BBQ Beef ...... mealy meat . Don't bother ordering. All dishes come with a little garnish of salad. Servers constantly come to table to clean the dishes as soon as the food is cleared even though the salad is not done yet. Please give me more time to eat all the food I paid. Overall, I think their food is one tone flavor, no depth of thai spice and herb taste. Many people like this place but I recommend this place if you like sweet flavor in your savory dishes.

  • mitra g.

    I am really not sure who would give this food a five star....maybe ppl who have no idea what authentic thai food is supposed to taste like. Siam's food is completely americanized. You would probably like it if you never venture out and try truly authentic ethnic food. Everything here is sweet....including (shockingly and disappointingly) the chili paste! The lemonade my friend ordered was sooooo sweet she could not drink it, my Pad Thai was sweet (odd). You know you are at a completely americanized Thai restarurant when you order your food spicy and it comes absolutely mild! My daughter's favorite dish, Pad See ew, went practically untouched as she refused to eat it. She is only 9, yet she knows real thai food. Tried to get more thai taste with the spices...got more disappointed with the sweet chili paste and mexican style jalapenos. Really?....Thai restaurants have their own thai pickled chopped red pepper, not jumbo, green, salty jalapenos. Like my brother in law said this is great food for the crowd that shop on Santana row and at Valley Fair Mall. This was not real thai food. Try Lers ros in the city if you are a fan of authentic Thai food.

    Not baddddd at all! Met some friends here for lunch and boy am I happy to have found it =D It's pretty small and I think it only had enough seating for about 20 folks? Not particularly nice nor would I come here on a date, but it's clean. Plate of shrimp pad thai was 8.95! woo hoooo ha ha Portion was very decent, but the shrimp may have been slightly overcooked--still, it was fine. The pad thai was sweeter than what I've had before, but I had no issue with it. It was lunnchtime so it also came w/ a shrimp chip, eggroll, soup and salad! That's definitely worth it =D I will be coming back to this place.

    We have been loyal customers for a few years to Siam Fine Thai Restaurant until we received bad customer service....We went to our first choice of Thai Restaurant around Steven Creek for our regular date night. As expected they were busy so we waited. When they finally came to sit us there were two tables available. They wanted to sit us right in front of the register but we wanted to sit at the other available table because we wanted to be comfortable while we enjoyed our meal and not be in the way or be bummed by passersby. So we asked to be seated at the other available table but the waiter insisted we had to sit there and so we asked if the table was reserved but she said no. Then we told her we don't see why we can't sit there which is when the owner was called and so we told her that we are not going to be comfortable sitting at the table in front of the register but she seemed like she wasn't interested in what we had to say or hear our wishes, so we walked right out and went elsewhere. We have not been back since. They lost loyal customers who used to bring new customers to the restaurant over an open table.

    Four stars only because when I asked for spicy hot, please make me cry....I only got about medium. Other than that the ingredients used are superb as in fresh and yummy. Great satay, green curry and roti. We've tried other dishes and have never been disappointed. Also love the fact that they have calamari as a meat option, some places don't...

  • Chris J.

    In my opinion, Thai food is not hard to mess up, but hard to make it very good. This place is a solid "in between." Funny story, I had a friend in elementary school whose parents used to own a sushi joint in this same location. That was over ten years ago, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised this place is now a thai restaurant. Anyways, the gf ordered drunk noodles (basically spicy noodles with beef and veggies) and I got the chicken pad thai. Yum. Didn't blow my socks off, but the food was definitely above the average I was expecting for such a hole in the wall type restaurant. Yes, the restaurant is pretty small. Considering the amount of positive reviews this place has gotten, it was surprising to see how small and empty the place was, albeit it was a sunday night. Regardless, service was not bad either. If you ever have a craving for thai food after shopping at santana row and/or valley fair, check this place out.

  • Eileen E.

    My friend Melissa and I had lunch here today during our valley fair / santana row shopping spree! She told me about their great lunch specials and wow, what a deal! For $8, you can choose a dish from a list including spicy thai fried rice, ginger chicken, panang curry, pad kee mau, massuman curry and then choose your choice of meat: chicken, pork, or tofu. I think beef was more expensive. Curry and saucy dishes come with rice. All dishes come with salad w/ honey mustard dressing, a tofu and onion soup, and a spring roll. It was such a great deal and good, fresh food :) Friendly service too!

    Love this little place.... I like that it's small (not about a bunch of noise) originally went on MONDAY and they were closed (keep that bit of info in your back pocket!) Not good for big group unless you want to take over the restaurant across from Valley fair...you can see chase bank from there. Food was delicious love red curry and beef - meat was tender just enough spice loaded with veggies and bamboo (split the order with someone else ...plenty of food! ) only thing I would have liked better was if they put rice in a covered pot to keep it warm. another cute little grandma in the back kitchen!! Server was friendly will definately be going back !!!

  • Darren M.

    Visit with confidence knowing that you are going to get some yum-yum. The food is incredible. No matter what dish my girlfriend and I try at this establishment, we are never let down. My personal favorites are the Pleasing Garlic and the Phrix King with Chicken. Pricing is very reasonable for such good quality food. For those on a budget, they offer a nice lunch deal until 3 pm which combines an entree with a salad and rice. The only thing I don't like about this place is that they are space-challenged. If visiting at noon, you might have to wait for a table. Also, the ambiance is very basic. But the food is so good at such a reasonable price, that it still gets 5 stars from me.

    I ended up coming here a lot for lunch (had a project nearby). Not bad at all. Everything is pretty good and if you order something spicy - it will actually come out with a little kick to it.... green curry + maximum spice is the way to go. :p

    My co-worker and I were craving Thai food and I happen to stumble on their site through yelp! yay!! She ordered the green curry thai hot. It was hella spicy but oh so delicious! i loved it! The last curry I had was from Khrung Thai and it was the yellow curry and I loved that as well so green curry didn't hurt to try. I ordered the pineapple fried rice and I must say I have never tried pineapple fried rice. It was off the chain!!! whoo!! I ordered mild spice, but wasn't spicy at all. I think the next time I order that it would have to be HOT.. although u don't have to get any spice in it. Its just lately I have been loving spicy food. =) I recommend this place if you are craving some Thai Food. I will try other food from their menu next time around.

    Great service, good food, we were seated quickly My only complaint was the spice level. Came here with some friends and had the Angry Thai (more like Mildly Irritated Thai), Mussaman curry (peanuty and thick), and Chinese greens (apparently chinese greens are green beans and sprouts?). The shrimp was a little over cooked. We ordered medium spicy but it wasn't very spicy at all. Average prices. I liked the interior very cozy. Nice decor.

    I've never been to Thailand, nor am I an expert on Thai food. However, I've been traumatised enough by the abuse to which I've subjected my taste buds and organs at university as a result of late night Thai delivery binges to be quite selective about my Thai food now. That said, this place totally exceeded my expectations! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food and service were fantastic. Finally, Thai food that is prepared well and doesn't feel/taste "junky". My favorites so far are the crab noodle, which is similar to pad thai, and the crab fried rice. They don't use imitation crab meat, the noodles are cooked perfectly and not dry or stuck together, the fried rice has great flavour (surprising for me because I usually hate fried rice). Portions are substantial and the prices are reasonable. I often get takeout and it travels quite well. Since this place is really tiny, it's not a place for a large group, but it is clean and the service is friendly, which makes for a nice lunch or dinner break from shopping.

    a pretty small restaurant, but there was no wait when i got there at around 130pm. our waiter/waitresses (owners, i believe?) were very friendly and all smiles. the food here is mediocre. i think people like it a lot because of its price and decent food. id have to concur that the prices are well worth what you get. id come back, but i prefer other thai restaurants over this one.

    My favorite Thai food restaurant!!! Krung Thai is overrated lol. I love getting lunch here, but it can get packed cause its so tiny! Foods to order here are the mango salad, papaya salad, coconut tom yum soup: usually order it with seafood, spicy crispy catfish, seafood with the basil flavor... Well everything on the menu has been delicious! They give you a good portion size and the food is always out quick. The staff are really friendly as well. Oh and I always pick medium spiciness for everything and it's perfect!

    The most tasty thai food we have had. And we have been here many times. The service is also great. Best in town. It's a small place though, so make your reservations. In other thai places, the difference between yellow, green, red, etc curries is hardly distinguishable. Here each one has a different and great flavor. TEN STARS :)

    I went here twice with my girlfriend, and since she mentioned when I would be writing about this place, I thought it would be overdue now. Basically this small place offers pretty flavorful yet reasonable Thai dishes. The fact that my girlfriend who is also quite a foodie wanted to come here again says something. In any case, while this place can only accommodate about twenty people, the high ceiling allowed the inside to feel spacious. The furniture was also pretty good with dark wooden frame. The seafood combo green curry that I had was very good with medium spiciness being adequate. The price difference between this one and shrimp/calamari was a few dollars, but the combo had squid and mussel inside as well. One may think that such a difference being overly priced. The mango salad was pretty soggy, so the second time we went there we ordered green mango salad instead. The mango turned out pretty chewable (not crunchy but the texture was similar to sweet potato. The seasoning was pretty good for both occasions though. The pat thai was better than the cheaper one I had in Berkeley. I could taste that the noodle was not overly soft or soggy. Ingredients were also pretty good. Having chopped, raw cabbage helped the dish from being too soft overall. I kinda wished there would be more seafood instead of the standard fried tofu. So overall, I would recommend this place for those who would shop at Valley Fair Mall and Santana Row, and want to eat something not available within these facilities. The fact that this place opens Sunday would be helpful for others as well.

    The restaurant was smaller than i thought it would be but it was ok since the wait wasn't too long. We had the drunken noodles, pad thai, and roti & Curry appetizer. EVerything was fine, but nothing that really stood out for me. BUT i do have to note that their water didn't have the tap water taste! greatly appreciated

    My wife and I were craving Thai for dinner, so we decided to try this small restaurant based on my sister and her fiance's suggestion. First off, it's a small place so I don't suggest coming here with a party any larger than 10. We went on a Tuesday night, and there were only a few other patrons there, but they had plenty of to-go orders. It's a nice and clean restaurant with windows all around, save for a thick partition separating the dining area and the kitchen. We ordered the papaya salad, Chicken Panang Curry, and the Hawaiian Fried rice. Zero complaints on any of these 3 dishes. The papaya was crisp and crunchy, the curry was rich and thick with good chunks of chicken, and the fried rice also had big chunks of chicken, shrimp, and pineapple. All 3 were a delight to eat. We can't wait to come back and try more and more dishes! Goodbye Krung Thai (New and Old/Original), hello Siam Fine Thai! This is our new go-to place for Thai food.

    Friday 8pm had a 20 minute wait time. The staff took our orders while we waited, and we had hot appetizers and entrees as soon as we were seated. Food smelled, looked and tasted wonderful. Awesome flavors, and very friendly and attentive service. We'll be back for sure. P.S: Apparently they have some parking spots behind the restaurant. May not have to park in the garage that id a little further away.

    5 stars for their food. 5 stars for their service. Great find and because they're so tiny, they're always packed. Since I live close by, I opt for take-out and the gentleman here was nice enough to help me carry my food to the car even when it was pouring rain. I felt bad because their restaurant was packed but he insisted! How can you not luv service like that? Nearby Thai restaurants who abuse their customers (cough Krung Thai cough) should take note and learn a thing or two from them.

    Really, really good flavor filled food. Reminds me of Thailand. Spicy food that has so much taste! Service is not particularly attentive but they are so nice and friendly that it's easy to forgive. Decor is pretty relaxed, small restaurant, you can go here with kids or for a casual night out. I've been here for a casual dinner with my husband and girls night out. Not really any space for large groups. Parking is in the back behind the restaurant, never had a problem for space.

    Om nom nom -alicious pad thai. I like how most of the dishes have the option of being made with chicken, pork, beef, or tofu so your vegetarian buddies can eat basically everything on the menu as well. If they did that on purpose, all the more props to 'em. The portions are big enough that you're basically getting two meals if you take some home, so the ~$9 per dish ends up being more like two $4.50 meals, which ain't bad at all. The lady who served us was very courteous and would come refill our water just often enough so it never got too low but not so often that she was intruding upon our meal. She even reminded me about my scarf when we were getting up to go so I wouldn't leave it behind. How nice! Not a fan of the little candies they give you after you pay, though. I'd avoid those; they're pretty intense.

    BEST THAI in town. It is extremely small. That is the only downfall of this place. Pad Thai medium spicy makes my nose run in the most perfect way. Tom Kha flavor is perfection.

    I'll give a 2.5 stars. I went there over the weekend based upon a friend's research on Yelp. Upon arrival, the waiter/owner was pretty nice and pleasant. I ended up ordering four items: Mango salad- was really good, but a suggestion is to lessen the sweetness of the sauce. After a while it can taste too sweet and then you can't eat much of it. Thai fried rice w/beef - nothing special, it didn't have much flavor and you can really taste the soy sauce. Needed some vegetables and the beef was so dry. Overall I wouldn't recommend this fried rice, don't know about others. Tom Yum soup w/shrimp - pretty good, can't really go wrong Soft Shell crab with string beans - was really good but a little salty, would recommend. The dish had a great flavor to it and the crab tasted fresh. Side note, on the menu soft is spelled incorrectly :-). Overall, It's not bad to eat here. It's decent price and food. Have to try the dessert though....

    We ordered three dishes and all were pleasantly delicious! We started with a refreshing, light-tasting soup that had ground chicken, napa cabbage, glass noodles, and tofu. The waitress recommended the mango shrimp salad, which was fresh, tangy, flavorful, and spicy--definitely a memorable dish. We also ordered the crab noodles which had a good amount of claw meat and delicately flavored noodles that were cooked just perfectly--I've finally found an acceptable (and much closer) substitute for Marnee Thai's crab noodles in SF! The owners seemed to have some regulars there that they were chatting with, and though it was our first time there, they made an effort to get to know us as well, thanking us for dining there and to let them know if there is anything they can improve in their food or service. You can tell they take a lot of pride in their business, which I'll be happy to support in the future.

    Not bad but not great either. I am not sure why this place is so highly rated. The green curry was rather watery and I found it rather bland and not spicy enough. The pad kee mao was okay. I got bored with prik khing pretty quickly, again not hot enough. The service was great though.

    I love this place! We had almost all of their specials for the day...and really you can't go wrong with any of them. A simple little store but their dishes and presentation deserve the "Fine" part of their restaurant name. I'm getting hungry just thinking about how good the green curry with sea bass was...must visit again!

  • Kelly M.

    We got takeout: Roti with panang curry Mussiman beef Thai fried rice with pork Grilled salmon Both the panang and the Mussiman curries were great. Nice depth of flavor with a heat that started gradually and built. The lime-mint sauce with the salmon was really nice, and the dish was satifying and healthy. I think this will be our new go-to for Thai take out. :-)

    Solid 4 stars. Very cute little restaurant near the bustle of Santana Row. Clean and tidy inside, but interesting layout -- almost open kitchen occluded by a partial wall. You get to see behind the facade and take your chances dodging hot stoves and flying oil when you try to go to the bathroom. That said, the food was great. Had the Seabass green curry, which was quite good, lots of eggplant, a little light on the Seabass, but a decent value. The drunken noodles were good with plenty of kick (asked for hot, so we deserved it!) and farily generous portion. The papaya salad was one of the better ones I've had. Service was nice and very polite. Would return.

    This is my new favorite lunch destination. The owners Heidi and Nai are so pleasant and provide top notch customer service. I've been eating here once a week since they've opened. After speaking with the owners, I learned some helpful info. They buy all of their produce from local farmers at the farmers markets, they're a smaller place so they have the advantage of buying less at a time so every meal is made with fresh ingredients daily and you can see the chef making everything from scratch. Now for the price. Their lunch special is one hell of a deal. You get a cup of soup, salad, spring roll, rice and entree for around $7.50!!! The decor is comforting, the vibes are always really positive and the place is spotless! Kudos to this silicon valley new comer. CHECK THEM OUT!

    Service was friendly and genuine. Food was prompt and quite good. I don't know any other Thai places in the area to compare it with, but it rates well above average compared to several places in So Cal. I'd give it another star if the room had any design merit. It wasn't offensive but it was pretty bad. So if you prefer your Thai with haute design, you won't be very happy. If you like good food though...Stick around. The soup was very good. The Prik King was too. Dishes around us looked good and I guessed from the other guests that they thought it tasted good.

    I have eaten here twice in a three day span. I really can't say that for very many restaurants. The first time I came seeking soup because I had been sick all day, and boy was I rewarded! I ordered a bowl of soup with muchrooms and prawns and it was great. There was a lot of it too. My boyfriend ordered the Angel Wing, which was basically large fried (panko-style) chicken wings filled with more chicken and some noodles. They were pretty tasty -- he loved them, though. He also got the "Crying Tiger," which was a steak dish with a very unique flavor in my opinion and some spicy sauce. It was very nicely cooked. The second time we came, I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and he got the Hawaiian Fried Rice. Both were good, but be warned! When you tell them "spicy" here, they will REALLY turn up the heat! I have a pretty high tolerance for heat and I love spicy food, but this was pretty fierce. Hotter than most other places, I thought. Oh -- we also ordered the Prawn Rolls for an appetizer, which were basically spring rolls with prawns rolled up in them (with their tails sticking out the end, too!) These were yummy. Oh again -- I ordered a Thai Iced Coffee. Sigh -- Ah-mazing. They make a great one. Besides the food, the service here is fantastic. We were shown great attention both times and my water glass was never empty. One thing you may want to keep in mind though -- I'm pretty sure they don't have A/C, so you may want to hold off on the really, really hot afternoons, when the sun comes through the window it can get toasty in there. But I would recommend this place to everyone. It's better than Blue Mango.

    This place was interesting but good. We came on a Wednesday night for the 15%-off deal and were seated right away (they asked if we had a reservation, but when we said no, it didn't seem to matter and we were seated anyway). It's a small place, with maybe 7-8 tables. I ordered sweet and sour with tofu because it came with lots of different veggies, and the BF got red curry with beef and chicken (you can ask for more than one meat). The side of rice is $2 but supposedly refillable. For there only being a few other tables, it took a little longer than I expected for the food. Mine was good - very sweet sauce! - but I thought the red curry was a little bland in taste (though spicy). We ate everything and got the bill, which was about $20 with the discount (we didn't have to ask for the discount for the server to put it on the tab). Not too bad.
