I stopped here to get some takeout. I was very happy with the flavor and heat level(ordered medium). I got the pineapple curry with chicken. The chicken was moist and the curry was slightly sweet and delicious! They also gave me 5 crab ragoons with my order. Those were also delicious. Do I will be back another time to try something else.

Love this place! I go here at least once a week and have tried about six things on their menu. The food is always fresh and you get large portions. I would compare it positively to any other Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh. The atmosphere is very casual, nothing fancy. But staff are super nice and the food comes out very quickly. The 1 to 10 rating scale means something here. I get an eight, and it's always quite spicy. Great red curry, pad prik khing, and garlic pepper. You won't go wrong eating here.

This place is my total new favorite! The service was fast. Dining room clean and simple, but not fancy (just what I like for in between class nosh), and the food was excellent! Be warned, though, I think their food is just a little spicer than what's usually in the burgh, so dial down the first time you're in. But it was so good!

While in the mood for something other than an elephant scab on a bun for lunch today, I walked into Siam Thai to see what they were like. The place was nearly empty when I walked in with the exception of one couple already seated. Granted, we had a ton of snow dumped on us this morning so I didn't take the lack of business as a sign that there was anything wrong with the place. I was greeted cheerfully when I walked in and was seated immediately. Within a minute I had a menu, a glass of water and a single ragoon on a plate with sauce. Looking over the menu I decided on the Stir Fried Broccoli. With each meal you get your choice of chicken, pork, tofu, beef, duck or shrimp. I originally was going to go with the duck but since they were out of that on this particular day I went with the beef. I was also asked to what degree of spiciness I would like and I went with an 8 on a 1 to 10 scale. The meal was in front of me within five minutes. The rice came molded into a heart-shape which I thought was a nice touch. The broccoli and carrots were good and crunchy (not soft and overcooked), the brown sauce had a very good kick to it but sadly the meat was awful! It was all tough and gristly making me wish that they had the duck available or that I would have chosen chicken instead. My bill came to a little over $10. The service was fast and friendly, the atmosphere was comfortable and this place has a lot going for it... but it's not even close to being the quality of Nicky's Thai Kitchen on Penn. I give it a 3 star mainly due to the meat.

The only thing I have tried here is the Thai Fried Rice. It is delicious. In my opinion this fried rice is better than that of the other Thai spot downtown, Nicky's.

Good food. Pad Thai was spot on. Don't know why they serve a single, cold crab Rangoon with lunch. Gross. Service was horrible. They ignored me when I walked in for pick up, and worse... My biggest pet peeve.. for a total of $10.13, I paid $11 and she asked if I wanted change. For takeout!!! Maybe it's a cultural difference, but I won't be back. Stick to Angkor in Greentree.

Came across this place when leaving my dentist's office across the street. Needed to grab take-out to bring back to work with me, so I decided to give them a try. Ordered Thai spring rolls and vegetable pad thai. Waited about 20 minutes for my order. Everything was steaming hot, which was great. However: Though the spring rolls were nicely hot and crunchy, they had no flavor/seasoning other then a black pepper taste. They seemed to be primarily cabbage - I didn't see any other vegetables in them. The pad thai was not good. The noodles were overcooked, rubbery and dark - not fresh. I have come across this issue with take-out from other thai restaurants. I wonder if, for take-out, some places have a bunch of pre-made items that they just reheat in the microwave? I don't know how else to explain these rubbery, shriveled noodles. Plus, the sauce had a strange taste - maybe like it was a beef-base? Very odd. And disappointing, especially considering the pretty positive "Munch" article they had framed on their wall that featured both items I had ordered. Since I'm pregnant, I didn't eat more than a few bites of the pad thai because it just didn't taste right to me. Not planning to go out of my way to go back there.

Lunch service was fast and accurate. I asked for an 8 spice level and that's exactly what I got, which is refreshing. Rive was a tad overcooked but the cashew tofu was perfect. The vegetables weren't overcooked and they did not skimp! Will be back weekly at this point.

Siam was a sold 3.5. The first thing that I noticed was the frigidness of the dinning room. It was uncomfortably chilly and the two space heaters that were running did nothing to heat the space up. I ate my meal with my scarf on and would have worn my hat too but I thought it might look a little low brow. The service was friendly but a little too quick when it came to placing my order. I was given almost no time to review the menu. I had hardly had my coat off before the waitress was back asking me if I already knew what I wanted to eat. This being my first visit and all I did not appreciate that much, but I am sure in future visits it would be a nice touch once I familiarize myself with the menu. I had the steamed pork dumplings and the Garlic pepper with mixed seafood. The dumplings were rubbery and under seasoned and after eating them I wished I had never ordered them. The garlic pepper sauce on my entree is what has me awarding 3 stars to Siam it was very flavorful. But the mixed seafood looked like a horror show with three tiny sad looking shrimp and a cold scallop. For $10.50 I was fed a quarter cup of food and had to eat all of my rice to fill me up. I am in no rush to get back Siam. And the server kept trying to hand my dishes to the man setting next to me. The dining room was not busy at all for them to have gotten my order mixed up. It's cold and flu season I really don't want some stranger pawing my food unnecessarily.

Walked in and was not greeted. Sat for 15 minutes unacknowledged. Left without a word said to me.

I've only been here once but the spring roll and drunken noodles were excellent. They have hot oil and thai hot pepper flakes on the table to add yourself and the oil is delicious. Prices are cheap, and the menu is filled with your standard Thai options. I plan on working my way thru the menu
