Not just your average Thai Restaurant. Taste of Siam goes above and beyond expectations. If you love HEAT, their homemade spices/sauces can give off some serious🔥.I go for the homemade House Noodles with chicken and vegetables in a savory peanut sauce. Highly recommend!
Yum, yum, yum! Tasty Thai food in a comfy atmosphere. Between $15 - $20 for a meal, and its worth every penny. Highly recommend!
Used to be great but lately has been sub par. With a tofu entree plus spring rolls running $27 plus you would expect more than a tiny box of rice and no hair in the rolls.The curry is alright saving this from being a one star although the veggies could be cooked longer and it would be nice if the curry actually came with the tofu.
In terms of service and authenticity of food, both need work. The slum-like looking façade of the restaurant is a bit off turning. Living by the narrative of not judging a book by its cover; I went it. The impatient server paid my sister and I very little mind. The shortness and lack of communication was a bit uncomfortable as a customer. Trying to leave an honest and not dramatic review, my sister and I were not checked on once by our initial server. Although as larger families of lighter skin tones entered the patio and were in the midst of their meals, our servers attitude suddenly brightened and made sure to check on those families 3-4 times during their meal. My server did not check on us once, he did not bring us our food, not our appetizer that was farm from acceptable; he only repeatedly asked for our payment as if we were going to run out without paying. Honestly, probably being the most capable on the patio to buy everyone’s dinner 100 times this left us feeling a bit targeted. In the 20 solid minutes while waiting for our change we were drafting a review for the restaurant. I understand things happens, but this was clearly about something else. The food is extremely generic and far from authentic. I understand in a cozy white neighborhood this is passing as Thai, in any other large city absolutely not. The prices were far more than unacceptable for an establishment of this grade.$20 a plate for essentially Asian take out corner store quality is not appropriate. I love to support small businesses but this probably will not be one that my friends and family and I will return to.-Best of luck.
Wait for food was at least an hour, food was brought out several minutes between each dish, waited for the last person at our table to receive their food 10 minutes after the first person received theirs. Delicious fried rice, fresh veggies, the food has always been of the highest quality. Seems that the front of house is always understaffed and overwhelmed.
I love this place! I always get the pad thai and switch up the protein. Their spring rolls are wonderful and the doing sauce is flavorful. My friends ordered tofu with theirs and it looked super yummy and I dont even like tofu. Looking to try their curry soon ifi can stop getting my fav lol
Great place to eat! So many options on the menu that you’ll come back many times a year! Great customer service! Great food! The owners are a delight and care about their community! Definitely check it out ASAP if you enjoy Asian Cuisine and looking for something new as well!
I was here today and I got fried ice cream which was amazing, but the reason for this review was I had a server with such great service. I think her name was Martina and she was super nice and friendly. Would recommend taste of Siam and come again!
Really very very very good! Pad Thai was a bit sweet for my taste... but was very fresh. The red curry tofu was amazing. Portions are big enough for three people. Starters were very good. The peanut sauce for the fresh roll and skewer was so good. This was a nice find. Definitely give this place a try. They deserve the high rating they get.
The best Thai food in Buffalo. This is our go-to takeout spot, but the ambience is nice inside too. 1000/10.
Food is amazing great flavor. Pud thai veggie is one of the best items on the menu. Staff is super friendly and professional.
Hands down the best Thai restaurant in Buffalo! Not just the food but the ambience and the people who serve you are really amazing! Should check it out! Also, they have got Buffalos best fried ice cream!!Overall Taste of Siam is a great place with amazing food and really good ambience.
Amazing food, the portions are huge, staff is inviting and friendly, the apps are on the small side but all the main dishes are large, and the selection is fairly large and will the spice is to order it goes from 1 to 5, I had a 3 and I would compare it to Tabasco type of heat not to strong but a decent kick, it is a small restaurant, maybe fits 20 people they also do pick up and delivery through door dash and maybe Uber eats, will definitely be coming back
Good Thai restaurant. Offer verity and delicious dishes you can choose from. The atmosphere and waiters are good. We had a satisfied meal here after visiting Niagara Falls. Parking right on the street is not a problem, but we came here after 8:30 pm in mid April, which is probably not a popular season.
Never had Thai untill my boyfriend brought me here and its seriously one of our favorite places to eat, the food here is amazing, like melt in your mouth amazing!! I love the sesame chicken! And the soup mmmm its so yummy. We try to order something different everytime we go!!
Came to this location with a party of 25. Waited 1hr & 45 minutes for my meal. Arrived at 6:30 and ordered immediately. Our meal came out at 8:15. Disappointed!!! First & last visit for me.
I went to this place several times and everytime the food gets better. The staff is amazing. Only issues is no AC. Gets hot in there
Best Thai food in Buffalo. We go here every weekend and recommend it to everyone. Fast service, big portions and the owner, Bobby is delightful. Two big thumbs up!
Hands down for this place 🎈❤️A best Thai place for Buffalo City ...A guest from New York City it’s me who’s like varieties food in different city finally satisfied with Thai food over here ..Best decorated with high level of spicy food you can have over here ...Well behaved with Best environment place in the city of buffalo ...Impressed with their food ...Didn’t try so many but the food was amazingMust go for Sniper fish with red curry and Thai spicy in it..
I love this place! The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious. It was a welcome port for weary travelers. The wide noodles were so scrumptious that I daydream about them often. Seriously.
Taste of Siam is a very good restaurant that I have been frequenting for lunch over the last year. All the dishes Ive tried Ive been very good and I must say that their selection of soup offerings that come with the lunch special I really delicious. Green curry is the best.Prices are very appropriate its my favorite lunch spot in the Elmwood village.
BEST THAI EVERWent with a friend for the first time and we both agreed the best Thai food we have ever had. I have lived in various states around the country and Siam was truly outstanding. Every dish was fresh and very complex, with generous portions too. The manager Ashley came around to each & every table which shows they really care. Our server Melissa was cordial, professional & knowledgeable. She created a real dining experience!!Highly Recommended
Been twice.... Both times, hit the ball out of the park.... Soups (veggies) are too good. We use soups to beat the cold and get the tang. Tom kha, Tom yum are very good. Try hotpot, while you get the occasional head turn from other tables , the quantity is good for 4 cups. Jasmine rice, curry, veg spring roll were all very good. Next best thing was the fried icecream (their bestseller) and a must try. Ambience is very traditional and relaxed. Service is pleasingly excellent.
This is the very best Thai food in Western New York hands down. Service is outstanding the food is of the best quality and they always nailed the spice level perfectly every single time. Some of the friendliest staff around.
I ordered 2 Fresh Rolls (veg) and Green Curry, Thai hot. I love spicy food. To me, Thai hot was mild, on par with Habanero on the heat scale; it had a good kick, but that was all. The food was good, but not amazing.
I drive 35 minutes out of my way to eat here , and would probably drive a hour to get this food, the food is really something to talk about so good and what really makes it is the staff, thy make you feel rite at home, if you never had or never tried this place open your tastebuds and you’ll be hooked!
Best thai food in the area, the owner is a true gentleman, the food and service is outstanding, go for any curry on the menu or any fried rice, they also do a fantastic sesame chicken
Taste of Siam is my FAVORITE Thai food in the area! Ingredients are always fresh and the taste doesnt compare to any other!!!
Good food fun atmosphere, great Elmwood Village location. Its a go to place for me. By the way the calamari is incredible
Best Thailand flavor in town. Wow!!!Start with Tod Pa Muk (Deep fried calamari) as appetizers. The pineapple dipping sauce is delicious. Then, if you like noodles get the taste of Siam noodle soup.I have to say that the service is great. I dont like waitress/waiters who come to the table all the time to ask if everything is fine, but the waitress here was so kind and smiling that her questions felt authentic. Id totally come back.
The staffs are really nice and the food is worth the price. Very tasty and delicious. I visited it with my friends and I love it. It has become one of my favorite restaurants to eat at.
Outdoor seating under a yellow umbrella set the mood for a delicious dinner ..Megan our waitress was very pleasant..
The Owner and staff were about the customers. Everyone offered their assistance to service and the food was Phenomenal! Ill be back for sure!
Melissa hosted us and made sure our orders were all as we wanted them.I tried out the Tom yum soup, because why not. And the yellow curry as my entree. Both were on point traditional and not at all Americanized like most places. I loved every bit of it. My soup was not hot enough so they made sure to modify the soup while increasing how hot it was.I would definitely go back and try more of their food.
One of my favorite places to go for date night. Sesame shrimps are perfect. Batter is nice and crisp and not all soggy from the sauce. Good atmosphere and service.
Great food and service... they please everyone with their vegetarian or choice of meat or level of spiciness. Nice size portions , they will start you with a free little cup of excellent soup.. dining room options on 2 floors.
One of my favorite lunch spots. Food is delicious and the service is always wonderful as well.
Best Thai food I have had in a while! Got the green curry and it was the perfect balance of savory with a hint of sweetness. The sauces for the fresh spring rolls were also on point!
Great location. Friendly staff. Food came out quick. I love a Thai restaurant that actually makes SPICY food. Ordered level six and it was super spicy and awesome. I had a hot pot with beef and glass noodles, but not enough noodles - hardly any. Same with the beef. It was all cabage and veggies. The garlic broth was flavorful. Overall good but stingy on the two main ingredients, especially for the pricetag. The vegetable rolls were really good, and the sauces tasty. The drunken noodles were the best Ive had. We had lots of gnats flying about our table. Saw other swatting them away too. A bit pricy to spend in Buffalo at that location, but overall the food was worth the visit.
Freshest foods. Great service. Best Thai food in buffalo
OK food. Terrible service. No A/C when it’s 85 degrees outside. Had to get up to ask for everything (someone to take our order, someone to bring a box, and someone to bring the bill). No one came to refill our water. Food took a little over an hour to get to us, despite it being lunch. To be clear, this place was not understaffed. Pad Thai was too sweet as well.As a working professional, I would recommend avoiding this place as they do not value your time. They did not even apologize for how long the food took. I wish I were exaggerating.EDIT: When I said this place was not understaffed, I was clearly referring to the front house. With so many people, I should not have to get up *each and every single time* I needed something--it felt like we were being deliberately ignored. Like the owners other responses to bad reviews, the owner qualifies any apology with excuses and appeals to emotion/sympathy. I grew up in a minority, family-owned restaurant. We struggled many times with making ends meet. But we never had customers waiting over an hour for food, nor did they have to get up for requesting water, boxes, the bills, etc. I make it a point to buy local and to support small businesses, having been involved in one myself for so many years. I shouldnt have to argue about this, but the owner insists on acting as if Im being callous by posting this (justifiably) bad review.
Great Thai Food! Really cool setting, right in Elmwood! Order everything from Appetizers to Desserts and they were super good. Really enjoyed the Calamari! Definitely will be back to try other dishes, tons of selections to pick from.
I am so fussy about my Thai food... this place is Awesome!! Been there twice and the food is outrageously good
We’ve been a customer of Bobby’s at both the old and new location for 20+ years and the food is beyond top notch. I make it out to Taste of Siam a few times a week at least and it’s far and away my number 1 spot for business, pleasure, and everything in between. From the food to the service to the beautiful new location, Taste of Siam is a guaranteed delight every time.
AMAZING! The food was incredible (it smelled so good I dived in before getting a pic). I stuck with the House noodles, medium spice, and they were perfect. Just a hint of heat. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was spot on. I wish I had discovered this gem sooner!
Everything was delicious, and staff were very sweet and accommodating. We all agreed that we will definitely be back!
Taste of Siam is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Buffalo area! Their food is so good and I love that many of the dishes are recipes passed down from the owner’s family. I highly recommend the crispy eggplant dish! They use really high quality ingredients. I have only had take out during Covid, but normally I love to eat in. I know some places are hit or miss with takeout, but not Taste of Siam! It’s equally as good if you dine in or get takeout. If you like quality, fresh food, you will like it here!
I went there cause I read so many good reviews. Now I will share my experience. That place was hot and suffocated. I placed myOrder and the waiting time was too long, no one asked me To sit. It is a general courtesy when you are making someone wait. Anyway Its ok.Thai tea was so sweet that it almost taste bitter to me.The mango sticky rice wasn’t even ok. Mango was sour I felt like I am eating raw mango. Not coming back anymore. Disappointment
People here are really nice. but the taste is really not like asian food. Sorry to say that but it is what our experience was. Maybe it’s just the dishes we ordered that day r little too light.
Food is okay,but just okay... Terrible service. Waited about 10 mins before they took my order. Made an order for takeout, they said they were busy and it would take 30-35 mins. I said okay, waited in my car for half an hour, then when I went to pick up my order they didnt have it. The server was apologetic and said she forgot to put it into the POS. I had to wait AGAIN! In total, it took about 1hr 15mins to get my takeout order. They offered me coupons for my next visit. They ended up taking $10 off, but I told them I wont be coming back.Tldr; waited 75 mins for ~*passable *~ Thai food, b/c they forgot to put in my order.
Feels like I wasted my money....Its like I was expected to mix the spices and sauce together because there was garlic on one section and then some sauce on the other. 🤔. Plus there was limited sauce so the top of my food was dry. Im not even sure if it was fresh. There was literally 3 broccolis in my vegetarian meal. Even the spring rolls seems like they were microwaved because its in a styrofoam that looks microwaved. You know what happens when you microwave styrofoam. 🙄It seems like take out is the worst option. First time eating here by the way.
Great food and friendly staff... Country style Thai food
The Lemongrass Salad was delicious. Very fresh and refreshing! Great food and generous portions. The atmosphere is great too. I plan on visiting again very soon!
A lovely evening meal here. We had the $4 happy hour appetizers, along with the Thai Green Curry and rice to share. More than enough to share between 2 people. The service here is very quick. Most importantly, the food and flavours are delicious. A new favourite for me. I will definitely come here again and have recommended it to my friends
We came to eat here after a long day spent at Niagara Falls and it did not disappoint. We were from out of town and love Thai food so we decided to try out this place! 10 out of 10 is all I can say. From the food to the service and atmosphere I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. I would drive 10 hours to eat here again to put it in perspective. Our server was the owners daughter and she was amazing. 10 OUT OF 10.
My wife and I are regulars at Taste of Siam. My wife loves them for their vegan options and we both love them for their amazing flavors that they offer.Go eat there. Take my word on it.
Went last night for my first time. I would absolutely recommend! It was my first time trying Thai food, and they sure got me hooked! The staff was so friendly . Especially the daughters. The only negative was we waited a while for our meal, but honestly worth it! The food was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back!
It is a nice Thai restaurant. We ordered red curry which was amazing. It had beans which werent chopped at all, that I had no idea about. Rest we ordered pad Thai noodles which were nice, but too sweet (I didnt know about the sweetness before ordering). The atmosphere is also nice, not very noisy with decent ambience.
Taste of Sams have excellent thai food cuisines. The food taste awesome.🙂👍
Delicious. Huge portions. Great options for lovers of both spicy and mild. Recommend the hot basil dish
Very good place for Thai. Decor is nice and cozy, and food is good. Pricing is based on the protein product you order in your dish, rather than the dish itself, which offers a pretty uniform pricing system across the menu that allows you to order any dish for the same price. The portion size is definitely worth the money as well. They will also ask how spicy you want your dish, and make it accordingly. Good experience.
Addicted to their Taste of Siam Fried Rice. I tried them for the first time a few weeks ago and Ive gotten it a couple of times and its still amazing-
Waiting time was too long. We waited for almost 2 hours to have our main course. Potato was raw in yellow curry. 20% gratitude was imposed on order of a group of five while in the menu it said it would be mandatory for a group of 6 or more. And the waitress served the dishes to wrong people. A very bad experience. And thank you for your reply. 🙄
The hostess was very kind I was there on December 10th to celebrate my birthday with my son and his girlfriend and I had a wonderful time I will be back for the wonton soup God bless
I do not want to give even one star to this restaurant. Very very bad experience.1. the food was very slow, we waited like an hour to get our entree2. the waitress messed up our order3. the potato in the curry is not cooked, very raw, and the taste is bad4. this is the point that made me angry really...... The restaurant make the 20% tip compulsory for our group of 5......given the service is so bad, i only want to give 10% actually.
Very friendly 👍great food 👏 little pricey 😯
Im always happy to visit and Munch on some gluten-free fried squid or fried tofu. Theyre red curry isnt bad either. Matter of fact, nothing Ive ever tried there has been.
I’ve been coming here or ordering takeout for many years now. Always consistent, always delicious. Their lunch special deal is among the best out there for quality and price.
BEST Thai in Buffalo! You may try other places but youll always come back to Taste of Siam. Weve been ordering from them for years and we havent had 1 meal that was sub par. We recently moved out of the city but drove back just to get this Thai. Very friendly staff and amazing chefs!
I have been eating here since 2014. I order food from Taste of Siam at least three times a month (conservatively. I know, I have a problem). Ive dined-in and taken out, and Ive never been disappointed with the taste or quality of the food. They are consistent in flavors, spice levels, textures, and portions. The food is DELICIOUS. Ive eaten Thai at other restaurants in Buffalo, and in NYC, and believe me, they produce something truly special. I am vegan, and they can veganize most of their dishes. I wasnt always vegan when I started eating there, and their non-vegan food is very good as well. If you dine-in the atmosphere is relaxed and cozy (not cramped), and romantic if you are looking for a date night. I really cant say enough about Taste of Siam. Hands down my favorite restaurant in Buffalo. Keep doing good things!!
Both of our dishes were amazing, stir fry and fried rice. Lots of vegetables, fresh, great flavor. Food came out less than ten minutes after we ordered and the portions were huge! Plus a cute little dining room with big windows looking out onto Elmwood. I would recommend this to anyone looking for Thai in Buffalo!
Great staff! They are friendly and the food is awesome! My favorite is their Pud Thai! Their pricing is very reasonable and their service is great. The portions they bring the table are very generously sized. If you are even consider trying Thai cuisine, I would certainly recommend going to eat at A Taste of Siam! My wife and I love it there!
I wanted to grab a quick bite to eat before a meeting and I heard great things about Taste of Siam. It didn’t disappoint! I had the Pud Kanna lunch dish and it was delicious! The atmosphere was great, the service was wonderful, and the food was delectable. The portion size was generous and the cost was very reasonable. I’ll definitely be back!
I have eaten numerous times at both the previous Taste of Thai and the current Taste of Siam restaurant. I have never had one dish or one item that was anything less than 100% perfect. I would highly recommend Taste of Siam to anyone who has an appreciation for excellent Thai food.
Service was a bit slow; we waited 10 minutes for a server to greet us and take our order. We ordered spring rolls with chicken, Tom Yum soup, green curry chicken special and a red curry with pineapple and chicken. We ordered spice level of 2 (medium) for all items but there was a significant difference in spice. The green curry was mild and the sauce was strangely thick...almost like cornstarch or another thickening agent was added. The red curry was a bit spicier and seemed more like you expect curry to be, thin but with some coconut milk. There were lots of veggies which I liked but my dining companions dish had very little chicken. I ordered tea but never received it. They were very apologetic and removed it from the bill. They also gave us a $5 off coupon to try them again. The food is okay but nothing special; the inconsistency in spice and amount of meat in the dishes was the bigger issue; everyone has an off night on occasion so maybe we will give it another shot as the table next to ours had food that looked more appealing.
Nice atmosphere. Their Tom Yum Soup is very close to what Ive enjoyed in Thailand and I highly recommend it. The staff was very nice. The waitress stopped by several times to ensure that we had everything we needed.
I come here often to try different items on the menu and have yet to come across something I didnt like. The food is authentic. You can rate your heat 1-5 so you can have it as normal or as hot as your taste buds can tolerate. The service is always great! Whether you go by yourself and sit at the bar, or go with friends and sit at a table, be prepared to enjoy yourself and want to come again.
Excellent food. great prices.
Everything that we ate here was delicious! Im a little sensitive to spice in my food, so it was great to be able to customize the level of heat. They had a lot more selection of various types of curries and soups than what you would find at a typical Thai restaurant.
The food is flavorful and delicious, and has their own unique taste compared to other Thai restaurants. They have hospitable service, and their house made Thai siracha and chili oil only enhance their dishes. Also, their spice levels are true to their range, medium spice (3 stars) actually tastes medium!
I was super late for my reservation and they accommodated my party of 7 and sat us as soon as we arrived. The food was top notch deliciousness and the service was amazing. Highly recommend and will be back because everything on the menu sounded amazing.
Only tried once recently for a family party, but everything O tried was excellent. A bit on the pricier side, but the prices are indicative of the quality. Nice selection of beer and wine as well. Try the crispy eggplant and the sesame beef. Delicious!
Best Thai in WNY. We drive from East Amherst at least once a month to eat here...or, at least we did before the virus. Their best items on the menu are the Tom Yum soup and the Panang Curry. Even my kids love it here!
Order the pad kemuw (pad kee mow) with beef at a medium (**) spice level for takeout, thus cant comment on dining experience. The portion size was pretty good. Not huge, but more than ample. All the ingredients were extremely fresh, and veggies were cooked perfectly. The amount of beef was also good.The spice level left a little to be desired, although this is a somewhat subjective observation.Moved into the area recently and have walked pass this place numerous times, and after my first time tasting Im quite pleased and will definitely be back.Overall a great experience. If youre looking for Thai I imagine all the dishes are prepared in the same exquisite fashion, so will taste delicious.
The ambiance is great here. Nothing plain and ordinary but not in your face either. The waiters and waitresses were all very cordial and easy to chat with. Regarding the food, I ended up getting the traditional choice of Pad Pud Thai with chicken but I did get mine Thai Hot. Now Im an outlier when it comes to spicy food but I will say that while it was hot, for many it may be unbearable. For me, it was just enough to give me a nice kick and to keep it going. But again, if youre not LOVING spicy food or if you dont frequent it often, Id say go with a level 3 if anything.That said, the food was great but I would like to come back another time and try something new out as well.
We picked up food to go last week. It was fantastic!! We ordered 5 different items and each was incredible. We are huge Thai food fans and we are pretty picky. Hands down, this is the best Thai place we have eaten at in the Buffalo area.
Best Thai food. Service is impeccable and the Owner is amazing
Soup and appetizers delicious. Waiters and staff excellent. Sesame chicken was not exactly what I had expected, but I usually order it at Chinese restaurants. Couldnt place my finger on the spice combo, but it wasnt my favorite. Still a place you should try!
Nice ambiance prompt service. Different flavors than other Thai food Ive had. Their phanang curry is much more acidic than anything Ive ever had, and made with far less coconut milk, but is still very tasty with lots of fresh veggies and a good amount of meat. My wife had a noodle dish with a yellow curry sauce that was amazing - sorry I dont remember the name! It was supposed to be served over a bed of lettuce, but was just all noodles (which was fine with us BC the noodles were great!).
Always amazing food. Pud met muang stir fry is my favorite. The food and service is always fantastic. Try the calamari also. The owner is always working hard in the kitchen so the food is consistently quality!!
NOT good experience here. I was there with Carla, my wife after our daughter graduated with Masters, my food came a few minutes before hers arrived then to add insult to injury right after it comes here comes the check with a auto tip. I refused to tip for a meals that came as everyone else in our group is ready to leave. AND we had reservations for 8:30 and there was no one else in the restaurant at all but us. I dont want anything from you at all since I will NEVER come back and will tell everyone that I know about our time there.
The food was delicious, the service was outstanding. The servings were hardy. We described it as Thai Soul Food. It was one of my favorite meal/restaurant experiences at a very decent price. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Generous servings with awesome flavor! Staff made it perfect! Mixed condiments to our individual preferences. Wont drive through Buffalo again without stopping for a meal here!
By far a terrible experience. We waited an hour just to get appetizers, the servers came to fill our water once every 20 mins. (if it even was that quick) After getting our appetizers it took another 30 mins for our server to even take our dinner order. We arrived there around 6:30, got our actual dinner around 8pm, and by the time it took her to bring us checks and take our payments we didnt leave until after 9:30pm. The food tasted fine when it finally came, but definitely not worth that kind of wait. The table next to us was seated after us, got their food and checks and left well before we were able to. Ive never walked out of a restaurant before, but if we werent there for a good bye dinner I would have left.
Food and price were a great combo! The soup they serve with lunch orders was fantastic. It featured black pepper, which I feel is the most underrated spice out there.
Delicious. I had the cashew nut dish and my wife had a coconut soup and they were both excellent.
Love this place!! Always received excellent service. The food is delicious, and the staff were very friendly. Definitely must try the SIAM experience, you wont be disappointed!!!
Imho one of the best Thai places in the city. We love the pad thai, sesame chicken, their spring rolls are craveable. Drinks are also on point, never had a bad meal or drink here period. Get them on grub hub, takeout, or sit down. The Thai iced tea is also delicious and refreshing. My go to is the big bowl Thai noodle soup, choice of protein-as always.
The food has been great both times Ive visited and the service is spot on. The only thing that shorts it a 5 star is that it is so loud it is difficult to have a conversation across the table when theres more than a few people in the restaurant. The upstairs is a beautiful space.
Bobby, keep being amazing. Your quality of food is absolutely top tier, and theres no way that any Thai will ever compare. Cant even count how many times weve eaten here or taken out, but I know that I can count the ZERO times Ive been disappointed.
My friends and I always come here for Thai food. Always everything is amazing from food to service to staff. We always dine-in. We almost tried everything in the menu and we never been disappointed. On-street parking with no problem
Last night I had an intense craving for soup. Specifically tom kha from Taste of Siam. It was the perfect winter day for the fantastic coconut soup.It was a Sunday night, about two hours before closing. I was a solo diner and sat at the bar, no need for me to take up a whole table.I was about to leave after ten or so minutes of not being asked of a food or drink order, nobody handed me a menu (luckily there was a pile next to me anyway), or getting a glass of water.Im not an entitled diner at all and i understand being busy or short staffed two hours before you close on a Sunday, but not getting a glass of water and telling me, Well be right with you, and waiting 10+ minutes for such acknowledgement will be enough to make me walk out.BUT I did not leave, I didnt catch her name but a server/bartender with glasses greeted me so warmly that i forgave being ignored for ten minutes.I had no other issues the rest of my meal. Food was great,service thereafter was great. All I ask for is just being acknowledged. Hello Ill be right with you, or Hello someone will be right with you, here is a menu.
This place is fantastic! The food is delicious and the service is top drawer too. Friendly, clean and comfortable. We have several food allergies and upon hearing this, the chef made us a special appetizer and delivered it personally.
Fantastic food. If you are into spice I highly recommend this spot. I went with my brother and the server mixed together a sauce for him based on the kinda things he likes. Really great staff, beautiful interior, overall great experience.
There are several good Thai restaurants in town, but we have decided that Taste of Siam is our favorite. Our current favorite dishes are the Ghang Dang red curry and the Pud Kemow a dish with a basil sauce. We cycle between adding meat and getting the tofu, or just vegetables. We get #2 medium spice. Weve just started using the additional 5 or 6 additional sauces(?) they offer. Love the garlic, and the Sriracha, now every bite is different.The lunch special is a great deal that includes a spring roll, and soup.The restaurant is comfortable and nicely appointed though we usually pickup to take out at dinner.The glass wall in the 2nd floor restaurant overlooks Elmwood Avenue and the Lexington Coop. You can done and think about the shoppers who would have to buy a whole basket of ingredients and still go home and spend time cooking the meal you are having. Definitely a good deal!
The food, once we finally got it after being essentially ignored for nearly an hour, was very good. Wrong order (wrong type of curry dish), but I didnt want to wait any longer, and it was tasty. The bad service and attitude of our server, however, caused us to leave no tip, something weve never done before. One example of incredibly bad service was when server comes to our table, holding a tray of 4 thai teas, to tell me they had run out of thai tea, which I had ordered. When I asked about the 4 on the tray he is holding, right in front of me, he responds that sorry, they were the last ones, for another table. Who does that??? Will never go back.
Probably one of the most decent Thai restaurant I ever been. You can see how much effort they put in to make the food fresh and delicious. May be a little bit pricy but it worth it.
Delicious Thai food! And very nice and accommodating staff. We got the House Noodles and the Ghang Musamun (yellow and green curry). Both vegetarian and gluten free.
Great food, nice atmosphere friendly staff. Went there for a birthday lunch. Really enjoyed dinning here, the place was a bit cold parking here to find, but other than that it was perfect.Would visit here again to try some of the other delicious dishes I saw others eating.
Overall the worst take out and what pad Thai I have ever eaten. Ive eaten at plenty of that restaurants around WNY and I will never go here again. Oddly sweet and gritty sauce, slathering overcooked noodles. The chicken was undercooked and bland, and lastly the sprouts on top were unwashed. Ive never thrown out left over Thai but this was so nasty I tossed over half of it, since I couldnt force myself to eat anymore. You couldnt pay me to eat here again.
Delicious and fresh Thai fare. Wonderful curries and of course, great Pud Thai. Our dishes are always seasoned to perfection. Great service, too. 10/10, always recommend this place.
Awesome food. Something for every one from vegan to carnivore. Service was phenomenal, prompt, efficent and just enough attention. Great atmosphere. Ill definitely be back.
Excellent food and atmosphere. One of the best Thai food Ive had!
I try out many thai places in my travels and it never even competes with taste of siam. I always get the red curry with fried tofu and it is amazing, nobody makes it the same. The way you play with flavors, its literally off the chain. My mouth waters everytime I think of this place. Oh, and the peanut dipping sauce for the fresh rolls? Uhhhh yea. Literally my favorite place in the world. All of my love to the chef and his team.
The food here is excellent! Each person at my table got something different and each dish was delicious. Great place to bring a date or your parents.
Loved the food and the staff were great that is until it came time to pay. I handed the server my card and friend did the same we told him the amount we wanted charged to each card and he walked away to complete the transaction. Then 10min goes by without our card returning and they charged me 3x. Which for a broke college student is alot.
We are there now 5-18-19 after daughters graduated with her masters. We have been waiting for over an hour. Really an 1 1/2 hour for food top come out. Everyone else has eaten and then our food arrives after I had to ask about it. We are so so disappointed with those place. To top it off we had reservations for 8:30 its now 10:28 and there are STILL people without their meal.It looks nice but services stink.
We had a great time and excellent food. Will be back for sure. Does gluten free well!
Food was on time and amazing, I got the feeling they cared about making sure my vegan order was in fact vegan, and the lady even called back to make sure my no mushroom request was not an allergy and just a preference would highly recommend.
Delicious curry. You can order anything at 6 spice levels, I like to sweat a bit when I eat spicy food so I get a 5/6. Best thai food in town, in my opinion.
I love this place but today was my birthday and I wanted Taste of Siam, I called them at 7pm and they said they weren’t taking orders anymore but they don’t close until 9. Sad. ):
Taste was different than other Thai restaurant s I tried so far. And not to say it is really good. There are five levels of of spice levels. Hot falls on center and I liked it.
Very good, fresh food. Service--could not have been better! Kay was the best waitress ever! First time having Thai food and will be back for sure.
My boyfriend and I have eaten here on multiple occasions and the food is really great but the service is always so slow. We usually don’t mind this since the servers are nice and helpful, but this is honestly the last time we will eat here. This time we ordered food to go and they told us our order would be ready at 7. I got to the restaurant to pick up my order, and the hostess couldn’t find my order ticket and had to ask what I ordered. When she finally found the ticket it seemed like she just put in the order to the kitchen and walked off and didn’t tell me how long the wait would be. Seven people got their take out orders before me and I ended up waiting there for 40 minutes. When I told the waitress I was upset that I was never told how long my food would take, all she said was she thought someone informed me how long it would be and didn’t say anything else. Every time I have gone to eat at Siam, I have been patient with the staff, but I will never eat here again due to the blatant disregard of customer service and lack of organization this place has.
If you love Thai or Asian food, this is the place to be. I have traveled all over and tried many, but nothing can beat Taste of Siam!!If it’s not your favorite, then you havent eaten here!
This is a favorite restaurant of my whole family. The food is excellent and the service great. Even better, almost every dish on the menu can be prepared gluten free, which makes this celiac happy!
My boyfriend and I both agree- this is our favorite Thai in the city! I prefer the Lemongrass curry. Its always spot on! He usually orders Lahb salad and we both love Tom Ka soup just to name some favorites.
Excellent food, service, and ownership. Well worth the dining experience. The seafood Pad Thai is very tasty as are many of the dishes on the menu.
Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Good drinks. Friendly service. Decent prices. My new favorite Thai place in the Elmwood Village.
If you like Thai food this is by far thee best Thai food in Buffalo and that I have EVER tasted. Meme and her Brother Bob are the best!!!! We feel like family on every visit.
Absolutely delicious. Food was amazing, service was amazing. Highly recommend you will not be disappointed in anyway.
Staff is always so warm. Food is FABULOUS. Decor is lovely. And so reasonably priced. Fantastic value. One of my favorite little gems!
Best Thai food ever. The only thing better than the food is the family that runs it. Its been our favorite Thai restaurant for more than 10 years.
Great tasting food, good menu variety and wait staff is helpful, friendly, attentive and fun. Definitely would eat here again!
Absolutely delicious Thai food always fresh, the wait staff is very polite and helpful. The size of the portions are exceptional and the prices are reasonable.
Some of the best Thai food in the city.staff was super friendly and professional
I ordered the red curry with beef, tom yum soup, wonton soup, and poh peah tod - chicken fried spring roll. All of it was wonderful. The vegetables in the curry were fresh and firm, the spring rolls were crispy, and the wontons were tender yet able to hold together nicely. I only recommend the tom yum soup if you like some bite to your soup, and if you like mushrooms and tomatoes.Id say the curry sauce is slightly thinner than other ones Ive tried, but still very flavorful. I wouldnt say thicker sauce is better than thinner - it just all depends on what your preferences are.Ill definitely go back again!
Taste of Siam food was amazing. My friends was very impressed with their service and thought Thai food was delicious for there first time!! We are definitely coming back to eat:)
A special birthday celebration with friends and family that is going to be hard to top! Spicy veggies, soup that filled your pallet with flavors and curry chunky and full of both!
Fantastic food and excellent service. When the owner of the restaurant takes the time to have a great conversation with you, you know youre at a good place. Definitely recommend.
Very delicious and great service.
Nice but the fried rice was too salty maybe due to too much soy sauce?
Great food, great service!
The foods was fantastic !!We ordered Thai fried rice, and Siam fried rice; portion is big and its really Siam taste !!The host warmest hospitality was impressed. Thumb up n thumb up.
Do not expect to leave full, portions are TINY, great flavor but seriously over priced for the amount. 7.00 for 4 tiny finger sized spring rolls, 7.00 for 4 quarter sized dumplings,
Really impressed, good food, good service and great presentation. The only thing, a bit too pricey. Noodles and rice should not break your bank account. Other than that it was really good!
Very comfy bed..chilled towels in fitness center...surprisingly great waterbpressure in shower...service was great esp. valet/doormen. Super fast elevator. T station 3 steps from hotel...
The waitress was super nice, and the food was delicious. I brought my Thai friend who said the dishes were authentic and we both enjoyed the Pad Thai.
Exceptional service. Exceptional food. The best Thai restaurant in the city. Parking is a bit of a hassle. But its worth it!! Highly recommend!
Very good food. Big portions and reasonable prices. Our server was friendly and efficient. Looking forward to going back!
Amazing!! Flavorful. Great vegan and vegetarian friendly options. Wonderful, friendly and accommodating staff!! Highly recommend...
Best Thai food around! Everything here is fantastic. Their Pad Thai is the best Ive ever had.
Fulfilling and flavorful Thai joint in the best Buffalo neighborhood. Im a Thai food aficionado and theirs does the trick if youre craving Thai. Not the absolute best that Ive had though.
I love coming to Taste of Siam! The food is fresh, tasteful and filling! Its a absolute must have! The staff was friendly and attentive to their guest!
Had almost given up on Thai food in Buffalo. Wish I tried Taste of Siam sooner. I will keep getting food from here it was so delicious
Excellent food. Fantastic customer service. Very welcoming atmosphere. I will gladly refer to anyone with two thumbs up.
Food is pretty good but service is terribly slow. 8-10 minutes between first and third entree to the table. Asked for Diet Pepsi and the brought it to me and it turned out to be Royal Crown.
This food was delicious, the atmosphere was very comfortable and pleasant, and the waiter was amazingly sweet and funny. Definitely would go back.
Great food l. Very nice and clean restaurant. Bobby and mimi are super cool and very friendly definitely recommend stoping in. They have great food and good lunch specials. Thanks always taking care of me :)
The food is good and reasonably priced. But when meeting with colleagues, in an otherwise empty restaurant, they were moving tables and chairs loudly, making it impossible to hear each other speak.
One of the best places for thai cuisine in Buffalo. Consistent and delicious! Service is good and location is convinient as well. Try coconut soup!
Been coming here for years the food is always amazing! Try the sesame chicken you wont regret it.
One of the best places Ive ever ate. Tons of vegan options, will definitely be coming back.
Great staff, great food, reasonably priced. Try the shrimp Ladna if it’s your first time & undecided on what to get
Great great place, pretty authentic true to origin thai food, owner was nice and friendly and place was chill. a lil pricey than other asian places but top quality.
The food was amazing (we ordered two entrees and two appetizers) and I told them I was celiac and didnt have ANY trouble after eating!!! Wished I lived here just for this restaurant!!!
Really delicious and a nice atmosphere inside. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants some nice Thai food.
I have been here a few times and have always been really happy with my food. The cocktails are also pretty great.
We realy love eating here when we come into buffalo . Always great food . The owner is so nice and the servers are pleasant
Great food and great atmosphere. The dishes are good sized and delicious and the building has a lot of character.
Great customer service, and amazing food. What more can you ask for :)
Great vegetarian options, delicious food and really good service. Tom yum soup was the best Ive had in a long time.
Taste of Siam was absolutely divine food and presentation was awesome. Would like to visit on a daily basis. Enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere
First time there and I will be back. The noodles with peanut sauce and vegetables was delicious.
Absolutely incredible food, and the staff are very quick and friendly. Definitely try out the mixed drinks if you are 21+.
Great food! Great atmosphere! Great service!I dont have enough stars to rate this place, five isnt enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Food is alright, not what youd expect for the price. I ordered the pad Thai and it was extremely sweet and sugary
Best Thai food I have had...ever

2022-05-13This is the Yellow Curry noodles with scallops. The sauce was amazing. For those who are not as adventurous I do suggest the pad Thai. It was very good. But in terms of substance and taste, I enjoyed this meal. Its sweet and spicy with the curry kick. It is served with flat noddles.

2022-01-24Visited on a Friday night with my daughter. Very friendly staff and service was quick.We started with the fried dumplings which were fantastic. My daughter had house noodles with chicken. Large portion and she loved it.I had the sesame beef and had a hard time putting down my fork. Another large portion that was outstanding.Nothing to change. It was a great experience!

2022-02-26Incredible country-based home flavored Thai cooking. Hearty, healthy, gluten-free, filling with leftovers to go, great service, and an excellent ambiance.Our appetizer and both entrees were absolutely five star rating.Sadly, for us, the Bangkok Mule missed the flavor mark.

2021-11-07Dropped in for lunch and had to say it didn’t quite impress me being Thai and tasted quite a few Thai restaurants in the States. Decor and seating area is nice beside having difficult finding parking space.The Tom Yam Hot Pot was not on the lunch menu but they were able to make it. Too sweet and not enough lemon taste that comes with good Tom Yam soup. The stir fried Basil was also too sweet with too much black soy sauce; not your authentic way of making stir fried Basil. Ingredients were really off.Still not bad if you are looking for something different to a sandwich, burger or pizza for lunch. Just don’t expect it to taste Thai style authentic.

2022-03-26Been coming for 3 years, usually love their food and usually have nothing to complain about, however my most recent take out experience was concerning. My sesame tofu turned out to be sesame chicken. Didn’t realize until I took a bite unfortunately. This is a dietary concern and I would just triple check what you are served.

2022-06-05I ordered Yum Won Sen (Seafood salad) and Larb Moo (pork). Both were too sweet and came with holy basil which is not common. Also the larb moo was made with pieces of pork instead of ground pork. I spent 9 years in Thailand and had these from many different places around the world and never saw them prepared this way. I asked if the cook was Thai and was told he was and it would be original Thai style.Would have been 1 star but got a lot of shrimp with the yum won sen.

2021-10-01We love Taste of Siam. We discovered this gem a couple of months ago and eat here a couple of times a month. The food is great and so is the service. Give it a try!

2021-08-26Been awhile since Ive been here but the food is always good since they were on hertel avenue.Started out with papaya salad and yellow curry scallops. The papaya salad was as good as I remember spicy hot as I asked. The scallops curry was also a home run.Its funny when youre not near a place and then you go back and its still as good as it ever was. Friendly restaurant bar.

2022-05-07Undoubtedly the best Thai I have tried in the Elmwood area.The drunken noodles here are superb and they actually spice up your food when you ask them to which is perfect for me.They offer lunch specials also that are amazing. On weekends they get so busy that it’s even hard to get takeout but good for them because they’re doing something right over there.

2022-05-07Unfortunately, not the best experience considering the positive reviews. The restaurant and dining area looked haggard from the start. Our service was a little haphazard as well; each of the servers would scramble to different tables and there was a lot of food and cutlery being dropped. Some dishes, like the Pad Thai, were excellent, but overall some of the ingredient choices were questionable, the sauces were not the best (many were too sweet), and there was a small quantity of meat provided in the dishes. The curries, in particular, were strangely thin and stuffed with items like green beans and zucchini. I did like the selection of Asian beers, and since the prices were reasonable, the noodle or rice dishes might be better for takeout.
