Reviews for Star of Siam in Chicago, IL
Egg roll was crispy but not much shrimp and filling tasted off. My crystal noodles underneath were gummy, brown, and stuck... together yuck. They saw them and never said anything about fixing the problem. I just didn?t eat them instead. I won?t go backsorry this Thai place needs to work on food quality. Read more
Star of Siam was good but I would remove a few star for a number of items: - you must pay for any rice with your dishes (never... experienced this before at a Thai restaurant and felt a bit like price gauging) - flavor of the food was quite bland and seemedthey had just tamed it too far to appeal to masses rather than offer an authentic Thai experience - bathrooms were poorly keptand dirty - sitting is kind of awkward if they have you sit in their middle booths (no back support and difficulty to climb intoif you are mobility challenged) The service was wonderful and waiter was kind and accommodating. I?d consider this a restaurantthat was down the list of choices but wouldn?t be my first choice again. Read more
The tea was good. The mamasam Curry was decent. Where they failed was at: 1?? Fresh spring roll. It has imitation crab. Eww.... Leavws a salt water taste in your mouth that conflicts with the rest if the role. They need to adjust the menu and put shrimp init. 2?? The drunken noodles were just off. They had this acidic/spoiled taste to it. But! They did immediately switch it outfor pot stickers which were good. 3?? The green mango salad was not fresh. The mango was off. Hence why the low score.

Delicious food. One thing to keep in mind is that, if you go in with more 4 people, they will automatically charge you a 20% of... tips at the end in the bills. And if you?re not noticing, they will probably ended up asking you another tips, which totallyaround 35-40% in tips, for $100 bill. Read more
Service was amazing, starters were good too. However, the main course...simply tasteless. No offense but the chef need some... major cooking classes. As you can see in attach pic, hardly eaten. Love the service! Read more
The food was actually really good. The fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls was so good we wolfed it down before being able to take a... picture. The taste and aroma of fresh basil was so good. The Crab Rangoon was quite lacking in crab, but the fried dough andcheese were probably in the highest end compared to other places we've tried. The Pad Sie Ew noodles were thicker than mostother places I've had it at, and the chicken was too chunky. My wife's Mussaman was quite good too, but nothing mind-blowing.I'll probably try the Salmon curry next time I'm there. The mango sticky rice was great and wasn't too sweet, just right, withripe tasty mango. The service was EXTREMELY slow. Each step took too long and I know it was because they were heavilyunderstaffed. Overall, a good experience that maybe took longer than we allocated for it. Read more
I was glad to see that they were really busy on a Saturday night. Quite a bit of take out business there too. We really love... this place, but this time the food was a little "off". Tom yum soup tasted great,, but was very oily. Pepper beef was almostsweet, and the veggies were overly cooked in my opinion. Pad Thai tasted great, but the presentation was not as remembered andlooked like it was taken from a massive batch rather than individually cooked. Will go again, can't vote them off! Read more
I love their shrimp rolls. I literally flew to Chicago for the day yesterday so I could get them again! I?ve never had an issue... here. Service is good. Food comes out fast. Drinks always stay topped off. Read more
