Editorial Review for Thai Siam Restaurant – by Helen Hodgson
The Scene
Fabulous Thai sculptures and framed artwork contrast with futuristic light fixtures in a color scheme featuring blue and purple. The dining area is small--fewer than 15 tables tightly spaced--so it can feel crowded, but it's a place that's abuzz with activity, where people of all ages feel welcome.
The Food
From appetizers to entrees, the food is outstanding. Begin with moist, tender chicken satay or delicate spring rolls, or try the more unusual tofu tod: Chunks of deep-fried tofu served with a piquant sweet and sour sauce and a slightly sweet cucumber sauce. Soups are exceptional--from velvety coconut soup, thick with chicken and mushrooms, to sour and spicy seafood combination of shrimp, scallops, squid, mussels and seasonal fish. Traditional main courses include a wonderful rendition of pad thai, as well as an array of delectable wok-fried dishes and curries. Spiced to order, each memorable dish can easily serve two or provide plenty of leftovers.

Insider Tips
When to GoAt the height of the dinner hour, the place is usually packed--arrive early or late to avoid a wait and enjoy a more peaceful dining experience.
Mind Your Mouth"Medium" is actually extremely spicy, so be cautious in describing how hot you would like your entree.
Choice of MeatMost main courses can be prepared with chicken, beef or pork; if you don't remember to specify your preference, you're likely to get beef.

I was really disappointed with Thai Siam. I've heard other Salt Lakers speak positively of it, so I gave it a shot the other night. Unfortunately, other than the colorful, fun atmosphere, the food was the worst I've had in Utah. My pad thai was barely warm and overly sweet, and the green curry literally made me gag (and that dish is usually my favorite at Thai restaurants). Look elsewhere for good Thai.

I was a bit skeptical at first and didnt want to get anything gross! Once I tried the food, I now CRAVE it it is sooo good! The Chicken Satay is my favorite with the peanut dipping sauce, I fell in love with it the first time I had it. The entree's are great just depending on what your taste is like. Overall this place is amazing! The food is great, the people are friendly, and the atmosphere is decorated so uniquely! I would have these people in my house to cook for me all the time!
Pros: everything
Cons: very busy
