This special deal is for $17. What a deal!
The flavors are amazing, the portion is big and the presentation is pretty!
The staff are nice and patient.
I was roaming around trying to figure out where to eat my first meal of the day and this did not disappoint at all.
It was delicious!

Diner Review №6

Refreshing and authentic Thai cuisine on the outskirts of the tenderloin. Extensive menu. Packed most days. Come in early.

Diner Review №7

I did saw this restaurant while walking the street, I wanted to try it since I loved Thai food. With the prices they have I’m expecting a descent portion, I ordered papaya salad half of it is lettuce , and spicy seafood ( 4 baby shrimp, 6 very tiny scallops, 2 mussels and 2 squid tentacles) so order vegetables with a little bit of seafood and order of rice basically it’s ala cart. Too bit pricey for the serving they have. Taste and flavor is just okay.

Diner Review №8

I tried pad see wu. It was just ok, slightly blend taste.

Diner Review №9

Foods great wait time terrible.

Diner Review №10

Do not dine here. The people are scammers and the food is abysmal.

If you’re visiting and want
authentic Thai, this is not it. The dishes we ordered were very poorly made—my pad kra pow (basil stir fry) was full of just soy sauce and a few sad pieces of bell pepper, with no garlic or red chili or basil for that matter. The sticky rice was so hardened I couldn’t even break it apart with a spoon.

The service was extremely rude. The waitress was standoffish from the start and spoke to my poor old father with such disrespect as he struggled with ordering. We felt uncomfortable the entire time because of their unprovoked attitude. She did not even give us water until I asked for it halfway through the meal.

They automatically added 15% gratuity to the bill with NO prior notice. We were a group of 3. I always tip service workers, even if the service and food were terrible as was the case here. However, it is extremely disingenuous to forcefully add gratuity without any explanation or disclaimer. Then to react defensively and force the customer to pay the tip as per their undeclared “policy” just constitutes a scam. It seems the workers feel no accountability to their customers since they receive their tips anyway, which would explain the bad service. When I brought it up to the waitress, she said she would ask the owner/manager to clarify. However, the manager avoided answering to why their automatic gratuity “policy” was undeclared and not possible to opt out of. He sent another waiter instead, who just shrugged. Of course we paid and left because the waiters shouldn’t have to answer to this. But very disappointed and ruined what was supposed to be a nice night with my parents .

Diner Review №28

Happened upon the Old Siam by chance. Daughter, born and raised in Bangkok is over and we were down at Fishermen’s Wharf parked beside another Thai restaurant that was closed. She wanting to go to Union Square we ended up again parking by the Old Siam. Not looking the best of places, she sure is a beauty. Daughter is very fussy when it comes to food, and more so Western Thai Food. We both agree, best Thai food found in the US so far and we have tried many. Aloi Mak Mak Krap :-)

Diner Review №29

Un trozo de Tailandia en San Francisco. Te hacen viajar a Bangkok a un precio muy razonable.

Diner Review №30

花生醬牛肉有點太甜。在這裡,已經是很實在划算的食物了。
蒸菜新鮮度、份量令人買足

Diner Review №31

Excellent food with an abundance of delicious flavors, and everything seemed super-fresh - even the vegetables remained crispy. Also, the service is great and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №32

I came here with co-workers , and one of them said this was by far the best Thai food he has had. For myself, it's not. It's OK, definitely not the best. It has been here for a long time. I came back one other time to try it by myself. Like I said, it's just ok.

Diner Review №33

Très bon repas, Pad thaï et poulet aux arachides excellent. Restaurant très simple et propre. Excellent rapport qualité-prix.

Diner Review №34

The Thai restaurant I usually go to was closed so I thought I’d give this place a try and I was not disappointed! The food was delicious and everything was cooked authentically! I didn’t dine in but there seems to be a decent amount of seating and the staff was working together so the flow looked immaculate. The wings were nice and crispy and the Pad prik king was perfect! I will absolutely come back and visit.

Diner Review №35

Average ambience, average taste!

Diner Review №36

Best Thai this side of Phuket!! We’ve been eating here for over two decades ❤️

Diner Review №42

Food misses some Thai signature, do not have any spicy at all. They even do not ask about the level of spicy for us to chose

Automatic add gratuity 15% without asking any words

Diner Review №43

The staff were super nice and kind and the food was delicious. We came twice and both visits were as delightful as the last.

Diner Review №44

Diner Review №45

The Pad Thai was way too sweet. Felt like I was eating a can of coke.

Diner Review №46

Came here yesterday the woman server was so rude when I entered. They still had an hour and 10 mins till closing time and the server told me I couldn’t choose where I wanted to sit because of this and I could only sit at 1 table that was right by the door (mind you the store was 75% empty). After ordering and finishing, I asked if she could bring the bill afterwards as she was clearing the table and she answered rudely and annoyingly and said “I’m holding all the plates can’t you see? Can’t you wait?”. I said ok and told her I meant afterwards because I was trying to be mindful that they were going to be closing soon (20 mins remained till closing at the time). Overall, very rude server and i will never visit this restaurant again because I felt very disrespected and didn’t feel welcome at all. Plus, they charged a 15% tip automatically even though I was a party of 1 which is okay if at least the server was respectful.

Diner Review №47

Curry taste was okay, but the pad thai was not what I expected.

Diner Review №48

The food was average and the mandatory tip of 15% in the form of gratuity was uncalled for. Overall a bad experience.

Diner Review №49

Good service, food overall was ok. Tom Yum Goong had a good amount of shrimp but not spicy, Crab spring roll was not good - basically vegetarian spring rolls with a small piece of crab meat on top - not recommended, Seafood curry was lacking in seafood, small little scallops, 3 shrimps and lots of veggies hence pricey - tasted ok, and ice coffee was too much ice so by the time I am half way it was getting tasteless.

Diner Review №50

Delicious Thai food, I’d definitely go again. They have lots of dishes to choose from. We got Pad See Ew and panang curry and both were really tasty. Very good Thai iced tea and mint lemonade. If you like Thai it’s a good place to try

3 days in SF with 2x eats here 😀. Great food, fast service and pretty relaxing ambience. Very recommended 👌🏻

Diner Review №55

We walked in here for some dinner while staying at the nearby hotel. The lady up front was very friendly and helpful. We got the panang and green curry to go along with the fried banana roti with coconut ice cream. Let me tell you, that coconut ice cream is beyond creamy and delicious. I might stop back in just for that. The rest of the food was prepared very quickly, super hot, and yummy!

Solid Thai food and there is a Thai chef in the kitchen. Not everything is perfect but it's pretty good. คอหมูย่างน้ำตกผัดซีอิ๊วเนื้อกับส้มตำไทยไม่ใส่กุ้งแห้งอร่อยดีเลย!

Diner Review №63

The Old Siam Thai Restaurant in San Francisco CL is truly among the finest Thai dining spots in town. My experience with their fried rice and crispy chicken was exceptional, especially noting that it had the best crispy chicken. If I return to SF, I will undoubtedly revisit this restaurant. The staff is commendable, and the venue maintains a clean and tidy ambiance. And they have vegetarian options as well.

I needed to find a place to eat a late lunch and fortunately for me, Old Siam Thai Restaurant is right across the street from the Nikko Hotel. Normally, when I go to a Thai restaurant, I order the Pad Thai but this time I decided to be a little adventurous and instead ordered the dish #79, Gai Himapan and I am really glad I did. Less than 10 minutes later, the server brought out this beautiful creation. I couldn't wait to dig in. It was a delicious mixture of stir fried chicken with bell pepper and cashew nuts that gave it a wonderful sweet and sour taste that complemented itself perfectly with a mountain of rice. I would also like to mention how attentive the server was. He came around a few times to refill my water and I nodded enthusiastically when he asked how i liked the food. Would highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №70

Order the lunch combos, taste different dishes with one piece $17. No need to share what others. I order soup for $4. End up I can only eat half of food & save half for dinner😋.

Diner Review №71

Good Value for money!

Happy that I ended up here as the restaurant on other side of street was busy. Welcoming and amazing customer service.

Very delicious food! I ordered fried rice with tofu and it was cooked to perfection. Loved it! They continued to check if I needed anything else. Good service.

<10 minutes for a walk-in takeout order of the best Pad Kee Mao I've had yet. Unpretentious, flavorful, and spiced just right without overpowering the sauce. And a good price to boot. Highly recommended for a quick & tasty meal!

Diner Review №89

We ordered to take out. The restaurant inside looks appealing. Food was very good.

Diner Review №90

Decided to try based on reviews; did not disappoint!! Walked in, ordered bokchoy/beef, green beans/chicken and a side of rice for take-out. Was ready in 5 minutes! Ingredients were fresh, taste was superb and portions were perfect. Recommend AND will go back again during our SF visit! Oh, and very friendly staff!!

Doesn’t look like much on the outside but my pineapple fried rice and my hubbys shrimp fried rice was yummy. The service was fast and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Sehr gutes Essen und Preis stimmt auch. Essen sofort erhalten und freundlich bedient worden. Kann ich weiterempfehlen.

Diner Review №107

We very much enjoyed our lunch here. 😋

Diner Review №108

Very bad service from this old man who took my order. Spoke with high tone of voice and rude.

Diner Review №109

This restaurant is a COMPLETE ripoff. I ordered off the online menu which said the lunch I ordered should be about $18, with tip. Did a pickup order only to pay $30 for pad thai and some veggie rolls. When I asked about the online menu, they said "someone created the menu for us, it isn't us." Quite suspicious that someone would go to such great lengths for a restaurant. I never got a breakdown of my bill, but now seeing everyone's comments about the tip, I wonder if one was added in to my bill as well. The food was fine, but certainly not worth the cost.

Diner Review №115

Worst Thai food experience I’ve encountered. Mediocre food, expensive and extremely small portions served. Check your bill because they will instantly add almost 20 pct gratuity on top of a 5 dollar self tip so be aware of their tricks to get more money out of you. They have increased their prices a lot, almost 30-40pct more but reduced portion sizes a lot also. Food is just average and nothing special. The pork fried rice was floating in oil, left a thick layer of oil aftertaste. The basil duck ala carte had 4-5 pieces of duck in it, ridiculously small portion for the price they charge, was expecting a whole fish for the spicy whole fried trout but it looked like half of a small fish when it came. While eating we heard the people next to us also commenting that the portions were extremely small for the prices they charge. Their staff is also rude and disrespectful. I had asked for some hot sauce from a fat male staff, he never brought it to us and when I asked again he said loudly, can’t you see that I’m busy ! When I looked around there was only 3 other small tables occupied. Disgusted by his horrible bad attitude. Won’t ever be back.

Diner Review №116

When the owner of the restaurants ask you for more tip when paying the bill , even so he looks uninterested&miserable when he brings you your food ,with zero passion for the job or the client ,then you know that you come to the wrong place . Food quality has gone done as well.

This place caught my eye as the outside is not all that nice and it seemed like exactly the kind of "hole in the wall" place that provides excellent food at a good price.

Inside was much nicer than I expected. The service was great and the food was excellent. The prices were very good.

Highly recommend!

Diner Review №120

Quick service, best spicy eggplant dish ever.

Diner Review №121

Worst customer service ever got here no around 12:20 empty store but will not let it sit where we want keep saying that it's for bigger tables so they can move people around

Diner Review №122

Food is good but they placed a 18% gratuity for a party of two. I challenged it and the clerk claimed that after covid its mandatory. I wasn't having it. He resisted and had an attitude but refunded it. It's over priced already then they are pushy for tips. Most places will charge for party 4 or more. This place charges for 2. Try out king of Thai. It's walking distance from here.

Diner Review №126

Amazon Thai food, well presented at an affordable price. Friendly prompt service. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №127

Convenience of location is most of what you pay for. 18% gratuity is included automatically but it's not obvious unless you happened to notice. I called out the sneakiness of that tactic and got a smug chuckle from the staff. Hence the 3 stars regretfully.

Diner Review №128

Great Thai food , have eaten here many times .

Diner Review №129

Diner Review №130

Food was very good. We had vegetarian pad Thai and a special of squid ink pasta with seafood and vegetables. Both were delicious and reasonably priced. Staff was very friendly. Atmosphere and decor are nothing special but not the reason to eat here.

Diner Review №131

Dont fall for their tricks. For 2 people, they automatically added an 18% gratuity then they brought a second bill with another $5 tip added automatically. Then when they ran my credit card, they had the audacity to give me a copy to sign with a blank line requesting an additional tip. Dont fall for their scams. I suggest you find a different restaurant.

Diner Review №132

Had the most amazing Thai massage with hot compress here. Highly recommend especially if you have high tension areas to be stretched out.

Diner Review №133

Diner Review №134

Don’t ask any questions, because you’ll be put in your place quickly with a dismissive “this is how it’s made in Thailand.” - Pad Thai with literally no spice. I had to call the waiter back over to make sure I didn’t miss something and was told
its traditionally served with no spice. Oh and Pad Thai is traditionally served with spaghetti style round noodles as well. That’s right, every other Thai restaurant you’ve eaten at was inauthentic Americanized trash. Never mind the fact that I’ve spent a good amount of time in Thailand multiple visits and have Thai friends that immediately responded with “it’s traditionally flat rice noodles” when I was left questioning my memory. Definitely check out some other options in the area. Not worth the money and dismissive, apathetic attitudes.

Diner Review №135

Mediocre Thai restaurant and should not be located in the heart of San Francisco. It was a very disappointing experience. I never had pad thai served with angel hair noodles. I’ve also had better thai food jn PHOENIX ARIZONA! The pad thai was also very bland with a strong fish sauce smell. Also when we questioned a couple items on the menu, the server just kept telling us this is how it was served in Thailand. My boyfriend had been in Thailand 4x and the food that we were served were nothing close to its authenticity.

Diner Review №136

Closed Sunday at dinnertime .

Diner Review №137

Veggie eaters can get there thing for sure. Friendly staff btw

Diner Review №138

Ideally quiet and cozy place. Great, authentic food that states in the menu "we will not alter our menu items to be anything other than Thai food" :)

Diner Review №139

Good food. Good prices. Prompt service. One star lost to brusk Male cashier.

Diner Review №140

FYI, Automatically 18% tip added. Food was ok.

Diner Review №141

Came here to order for tofu pad thai to go. Generous vegetables. Food taste is good and has exceptional flavors.

Diner Review №142

The BEST THAI FOOD THROUGH MY TRAVELS!!! Great service, family owned and when I sY this woman cooks with LOVE.. It is definitely food to your SOUL....Soul Food- Thai Style....🙃🙃🙃

Diner Review №143

Tastes of authentic thai dishes. First time doing a takeaway and blown away by the lovely flavours and portion sizes. The chicken was still crisp even after the next 15 mins. Old Siam Chicken Fried Rice (USD16) and Mixed Vegetables w Tofu stir fry (USD14) are pictured. 10/10 recommended!

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

Excelente atención y excelente sabor de los alimentos. En general las instalaciones súper limpias y el personal muy amable. Lo recomiendo

Diner Review №146

Had the Garlic Jumbo Prawns and Green Curry with beef. Delicious. Curry was nice and spicy, beef and veggies were cooked perfectly. The prawns were crispy, crunchy and had the right amount of garlic. First time here, will definitely return.

Diner Review №147

Awesome

Diner Review №148

The gratuity was added TWICE to our bill. (the first bill already include tax and 18% gratuity, but the final bill request for gratuity again) we did noticed that but the staff was very rude and made us tip twice.

Diner Review №149

Busy on the night but only a 5 min wait. I expect this restaurant is always busy and the menu has a lot of options to satisfy anyone's appetite.

Food was delicious and the staff kept very busy but worked really well together.

Definitely recommend. $$...

Diner Review №150

Food made me sick.

Diner Review №151

Salad was quite spicy and the curry was average.
Service was okay. They also added a 18% gratuity by default for a party of 2!

Diner Review №152

The chicken and eggplant was good enough. The wings had a strong pre-frozen yucky taste.

Diner Review №153

So so yummy and cozy! Great vegetarian/vegan options, we especially loved the spicy eggplant.

Diner Review №154

Loved it, hot soup on a rainy day!

Diner Review №155

The guy with glasses is terribly rude! He is the one in charge. We asked for spice level for one of the dishes because other Thai restaurants my friends and I have been to (even in the same area) have different spice levels we can choose from. Regardless, we asked a reasonable question especially since people cant handle a lot of spice. Without answering our question, he immediately judged us saying, "you must have not had Thai food before because Thai food only has one spice." He went on to give us attitude and assume we have no idea what we're talking about since we are young adults. We let him know that we do not appreciate his customer service but he continued to argue with us and ultimately kick us out. This person cannot take constructive feedback and gets defensive when he's told that his attitude is not "okay". Additionally, he is rude to his workers. My friends and I have come to this place a lot since we were young but after multiple accounts of this behavior, the food for its price is not worth this treatment.

Diner Review №156

Food is quite good.

Diner Review №157

Diner Review №158

I used to go to this restaurant every day for years, and I recently got kicked out with no warning.

How I am now treated is extremely disappointing.

Great place for Pad Thai and Tom Yum soup. Service was fast and helpful.

Diner Review №164

Diner Review №165

I’ve ordered take out here multiple times and it’s always amazing. Fantastic authentic food at a great price.
No frills just great food, period.
It’s a family run business too and there’s a certain warmth you get from that atmosphere. 10/10 recommend for a casual meal!

Diner Review №166

I had no expectations going into this restaurant. Being so tired though I forgot to take pictures but the food presentation was above average. The pad-thai was very delicious.

Diner Review №167

Very satisfied with this lovely restaurant. Welcoming hard working staff, clean space and great tasting food.

Even though an order note was missed the establishment is definitely worth 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 💫

I ordered from the lunch special menu
I was given the egg rolls instead of the shrimp rolls ordered
I went for the bbq pork which came with egg fried rice and vegetable pad Thai.
I added the Tom yum hot and sour vegetable soup 🍲 which was amazing!
I had the Thai iced tea with my meal and requested another for takeaway :)
Total $33.71
A bit on the pricey side for just a quick lunch- not a huge problem as all very tasty! I would definitely dine here again next time I’m in SFO ✈️ x 🫶🏽

Diner Review №168

They said they have a dine in limit of 10 dollars per person for larger groups. The seats were not cleaned properly and there were food pieces on the seats. Ended up getting takeout.

Diner Review №169

The salad was a bit too spicy but I really liked the calamari. Tom Yum soup was okay and pad thai was pretty good. Needed to wait for at least 15 minutes to get the table.

Yelled at me because I let them know there is a seafood and nut allergy in the party. I ordered duck fried rice I think I saw two little pieces of duck. Another person ordered a duck only entree, there was so little duck he had to buy food elsewhere after.

Das Essen war lecker! Die Preise sind in Ordnung. Personal sehr freundlich. Kann man auf jeden Fall ausprobieren.

Diner Review №181

Loved this place. In town for a day looking for great Thai food to eat for lunch and was recommended to go here by hotel staff. For $15 lunch special got an entree, 2 egg rolls, rice and pad Thai. For an extra $3 got a cup of soup too. Everything was delicious. Thom Ka soup was some of the best I’ve had. If this was in my city I’d eat here once a week

Diner Review №182

The best fried chicken over fried rice! Chicken is white meat and crunchy. Fried rice is amazing!

Diner Review №187

We found a piece of metal wool in our yellow curry. Like, the metal wool you use to wash pans with. Very unsanitary. Food tasted good though... before that part.

Diner Review №188

Diner Review №189

4.5 stars. You know the food was good when you got all sweaty from eating. As someone who has been to Thailand 6 times, I think I can speak a few words about Thai food.

The first thing I have to mention is their service. Everyone was so friendly and this one young server even warned me about the stairs. I ordered pad se-ew, and the signature Thai soup - tom yum soup. It took them about 30 minutes to prepare the food.

The pad se-ew was good. The portion was incredible. However, for the Tom yum soup, the lack of spiciness made the sourness too overwhelming. I even thought it was tomato soup for a second. Maybe they adjusted it to accommodate the local people.

One more thing I wasn’t sure about was that they added 18% tips to any parties. Not a fan of this practice, but good thing the service was good.

Diner Review №190

It’s was a big portion of disappointment. I was asked if I was ready to order lunch 3 times within 5 minutes, and the restaurant was empty and only closing after dinner. I chose a simple Pad Thai and they immediately said it had to be with chicken or pork because they didn’t cook with shrimp. Then the plate was lacking all the good flavors, just seemed like a bunch of noodles mixed with sweet sauce, very few vegetables, chicken or egg.

I have visited here quite a few times. They have consistently great quality of food during all those visits. On our recent visit we ordered lunch combinations, comes with main dish + fried rice and pad thai with a choice of appetizer for around $15. These days it is a good deal. Service was good and restrooms were clean.

You come here for the food, not for the atmosphere. The fresh rolls were a tad bit small and fell apart easily, but the beef salad was absolutely delicious. Will be back.

Diner Review №197

Delicious food and friendly service. Clean restaurant and restrooms. Ordered papaya salad, sweet wings, and fried trout. Papaya salad was spiced just right for me.
