Food was OK. My wife's curry had more onions than chicken. My boys pad thai was almost tasteless. Won't be back.

Diner Review №2

Had a lovely meal here. The server was so kind and polite. Loved her attitude. Really liked the cashew stir fry. Ordered a plate of drunken noodles as well, which were okayish.

Diner Review №3

Get the drunken noodles - you won't regret it!

Diner Review №6

We were driving around looking for Thai food and stumbled across this gem. Food was fresh and I would say probably the best Thai food we've ever had. We had the spring rolls and deep fried shrimp rolls for appetizer. And Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, and Chow Fun for entrees. Food was flavorful, fresh, hot, and portions were good size.

Siam Garden Cafe holds a special place in my heart as my favorite spot from when I was stationed in Hawaii over 10 years ago, and it’s just as incredible as I remember.

I order the Jungle Curry, prepared medium with chicken, and Sticky Rice. It is vibrant and packed with flavor—the perfect blend of coconut milk, carrots, cabbage, lime leaf, and basil made for an incredibly smooth and comforting dish. I wish I knew the recipe because I haven’t been able to find Jungle Curry, or any Curry for that matter, that comes anywhere close.

Consistently delivers authentic, flavorful dishes that transport me back in time. If you’re in Hawaii and craving Thai cuisine, this spot is an absolute must-visit!

Diner Review №11

Stop by for lunch with Mom. Ordered the yellow curry with chicken and a bowl of Jasmine rice. Curry was rich flavorful, and delicious. Rice is rice. A good portion that fills you up. A go-to place for dates and meetings, as well as family dinners. Go check them out.

お友達のオススメで連れていって貰いました♪
パパイヤサラダ、インゲン炒め、茄子炒め?などなど、野菜中心でしたが、餅米と一緒に美味しく頂きました😊
最後にデザートを頼んだのですが、マンゴーwith餅米のデザートが無くて残念です🥲
代わりにタピオカとタロ芋のデザートを注文しましたが、美味しかったです✨
コーヒーはちょっと甘すぎました😅

Red curry with chicken was outstanding as always! Thank you for a delicious lunch. See you soon!

Diner Review №15

We had lunch here and very much enjoyed the food.

Diner Review №16

Food wasn't that good. I ordered papaya salad and pad thai for lunch. They made papaya salad salty. Pad Thai over sauce. I took a leftover pad thai Togo. I have to throw it away cause it turns bad at night. I decided not to take papaya salad to go.

Diner Review №18

We were greeted as soon as we entered and seated in a booth by the window. Our server was pleasant and prompt with service. We ordered and had the food arrive quickly, little wait time. We order a spicy seafood salad (delicious) and a spicy beef curry (also delicious) with sticky rice. 2 full bellies afterwards. quiet little place despite being so close to Nimitz Highway. Food is so ono - amazing !

Diner Review №20

The food was pretty good but the service was sub par. They got our order wrong at first and seemingly kept having issues with the kitchen staff. Was just overall slow and unhelpful. And it was a little overpriced in my opinion

Diner Review №21

really nice place with good food.

Diner Review №23

On the last day of our island visit, dropped by to get late lunch after visiting Pearl harbour. Place was not busy, got our order right away. Requested for spicy fried rice but it was still mild to my taste and they were able to accommodate veggie spring roll request. Interesting thing was the waitress never asked if we enjoyed food, or if we needed anything else, she just seemed rushing while the place was not busy at all. On the bill, just for two items they charged for 4.5$ extra and said it was currency exchange? And was asked if I would like to tip her? I wanted to clarify if they included the tip already as stated on their menu, she said no the 4.5$ was currency exchange lol. I ended up tipping again to leave soon, but would recommend to be mindful about this. I don’t think we would ever come back to such bad service.

Spicy eggplant was excellent

Diner Review №30

The food is delicious!! Gets very busy for lunch 12-2pm. Get the beef salad!!

Diner Review №31

The chicken was low quality, the vegetables were greasy. I always leave a cash tip whenever I eat out and when I got my credit card and receipt back, the server actually asked if I was going to leave a tip.

Diner Review №32

The food is the star here: a group of us tried different things and different spice levels, and we enjoyed them all. A bit slow on the service, and a bit challenging to find parking, but worth trying if you're looking for authentic Thai.

Siam Garden offers an unparalleled dining experience that effortlessly combines ambiance, exceptional service, and culinary delight. From the moment you step in, the inviting atmosphere sets the tone for what's to come. The service is impeccable, attentive yet unintrusive, ensuring a seamless meal from start to finish. A standout dish, the shrimp pad thai, captivates with its flavors, perfectly complemented by the light and crispy spring rolls. Each bite is a testament to the kitchen's commitment to quality and authenticity. Siam Garden isn't just a meal; it's a journey to the heart of Thai cuisine. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to indulge in a memorable dining experience.

Diner Review №35

Classic papaya salad, spicy but so good. The jungle curry is amazingggg (must order). So good that we stopped by twice during our vacation

Diner Review №36

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

The food here has been excellent for years. My fav dish is the drunken noodles. The ambience is Thai inspired with gold finishes. There is parking in front of the restaurant off Nimitz or under the building. I highly recommend them. FYI, they don't take reservations.

Diner Review №39

Had Drunken Noodles and they were fantastic I had Drunken Noodles and it was fantastic

Diner Review №40

The food is great. The staff was willing to help out with food decisions and brought chillis to make the food spicier.

Diner Review №41

Wow the foods are very good, loves the salad, Pad Thai, stuffed chicken wings, green curry, steamed fish with lime juice

Diner Review №42

The food was delicious. I really enjoyed the drunken noodles. There were tons of authentic Thai drinks and dishes. This is also a great option for vegan dining.

Diner Review №49

Everything good about this place. I’ve ate here several times but I am disappointed in the fact that all they have to offer is carbonated beverages? No fruit punch, lemonade, nothing. That is completely unacceptable

Diner Review №50

I love the drunken noodles here!

Diner Review №51

Fantastic food with the right amount of heat! Lots of Thai restaurants will make your food to a local style "medium" heat that is kind of weak. Siam Garden is spot on when you order medium heat.

Food was great, service was top notch even during a busy lunch hour. We loved the atmosphere.

Diner Review №62

We were hungry jet lagged tourists looking for something to eat. We found this place on google as recommended.
The restaurant is great. It is very nicely decorated, clean and fun. We were greeted with good music. The service was overall quick, friendly and helpful. We were quickly served with fresh, free and refill water. The food is delicious. Even though I only tried a few plates, Im sure anything you order will be delicious and filling.Very unique and traditional. There are a lot of spicy tasteful oils/sauces. Very worth noting, the DESSERTS ARE DELICIOUS! You will not regret ordering them.

Please go and enjoy!

Diner Review №64

The food was great, but $125 for 2 people is a lot for just 1 appetizer, 2 meals, and 1 dessert. There's plenty of other thai places with just as good food for 1/2 the price. Also, service wasn't that great, never came back to check after dropping off food, and our water was empty the whole time. Great atmosphere, especially for a strip mall. Plenty of parking, although the front spots fill up, we parked on the roof and walked down.

อาหารอร่อยมาก

Diner Review №80

One of the best Thai spots in Oahu

Diner Review №81

Best meal in Honolulu so far. Kway Teow is one of this Thai dishes that I absolutely crave and it is SO hard to find outside of Thailand.

This restaurant has many authentic Thai dishes as opposed to the classic Thai-American fare. It was a little sweet but nothing some chili vinegar couldn't fix. Also the quintessential chili flake and hot peeper sauce on top to get ya sweatin. I have to say the beef was INCREDIBLE. A mix of sirloin and brisket and tons of it.

Diner Review №82

Loved the phad see lew

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

This is a good place. You won’t be disappointed but you won’t be amazed. It’s fine.

Diner Review №85

Yep. Definitely going back. The food is incredible. The restaurant feels family run and it's so nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. I've found a new favorite.

Diner Review №86

Food was very good with fast friendly service. Lots of menu options and generous portions. Loads of different types of seafood in our Tom Kha, it was delicious! Will be back.

Delicious food.... we ordered drunked noodles, Thai fried rice, basil fried rice and pad Thai. Great customer service.

Diner Review №92

Great food! Prices were fairly high and there is a required 15-18% gratuity. Although, portions were large and service was good. Would recommend!

Diner Review №93

Ordered the pineapple fried rice, spring rolls, and had the fried bananas and ice cream for dessert. Atmosphere and service was exceptional. We even had a glass of wine and a beer at very reasonable price point. Would recommend to everyone.

Diner Review №94

Felt very unwelcome. Arrived at 847pm knowing they advertise as closing at 10pm. The server looked disgusted when we arrived, seated us and said the kitchen closes at 9. We obviously left and won’t be back.

Diner Review №95

Authentic Thailand food. Fast and Friendly Services. Everything is homemade. Food Portions are just right amount and very tasty and delicious. Prices are reasonable.

Diner Review №96

Really enjoyed my Tom Kha lunch with veggies and tofu. That's not an option on the menu, but they were glad to make it. So many tasty veggies! Thai hot could have been spicier, but was spicy and tasty... and literally steaming hot as it arrived. In terms of service, they let me plug my phone in, and when a server saw I'd used up my napkin, she rushed over with two more without being asked.

The only real negative is the location: a weird strip mall, the front of which has only one line of one-way traffic, which only goes as far as the middle before steering you into a parking garage. And unfortunately, there's a "Thai Massage" next door... Coincidence? So the location isn't great, but I'd go back and always add veggies to my orders!

Great food!

Diner Review №104

I had green curry and sticky rice today. Was DELICIOUS! I have had other items from here before, and was not disappointed. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was they didn't have enough staff to wait on the tables!! No one came to check if we needed more water, or wanted anything else.

Diner Review №105

Always love to stop at Siam Garden when we're in Honolulu. Easy to park because it's away from Waikiki. Food is always great. I particularly like the curries and have tried some different ones including the pineapple chicken curry which has a nice balance to it since i usually order medium spicy. There are also a couple of dishes containing peanut and another with tamarind. Always enjoy the summer rolls as an appetizer, and sometimes the warm banana tapioca dessert.

Diner Review №106

ここに行くことができた人はきっと神様からのご褒美でしょう、自分を労ってあげてココナッツミルクヤンくんを食べてください。ここは、本当に、最高です。迎えに港のお店ピアワンや、少し先に私のお気に入りのカフェラタトゥーユ(マカロンが最高すぎるパン全般が美味しいお店)がありますが、このサイアムガーデンは姉妹でされている内装も雰囲気も素敵なお店です。ほっこりします。めちゃくちゃ美味しいです。とにかく行くしかないと思います。このお店を知ることが出来て私はラッキーです。

Fantastic, probablybthe best Thai food on island, and that's saying something. Dine in expierence is fantastic, the food is even better. Not to mention they have dishes you won't find at the run of the mill chain thai restaurant. As if exotic grindz, and a fantastic expierence weren't enough.... the OG favorites Still never disappoint. This is my neighborhood thai food, and they've NEVER disappointed. Seriously, can't go wrong here.

This thai food is legit. The food and service of this tiny restaurant is top notch. Siam Garden Cafe is my go to for Green Curry w/chicken. If you want an authentic and delicious thai experience this is the place. Wash it all down with some Singha and your culinary escape is complete

Diner Review №154

Favorite thai restaurant! Floating market noodle soup is delicious.

The little Thai place that could! Really good dining experience. I was suggested a couple of plates by the staff and they were absolutely amazing. I'd come back any time!

Diner Review №156

Just... bad. I was so disappointed when we went there. THERE WAS A GLOB OF PEANUT BUTTER IN THE PANANG CURRY!!! The other food was also gross. It took forever to come out, and the staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. Don’t come here.

Food was excellent! Portions were small not what I was used to. Service was so so.picked up a friend from the airport, on our way to her hotel she wanted to eat Asian food 😋
Since we were on Nimitz hey. This was our first stop.

Diner Review №169

This has been our go to place for Thai food since we arrived on island 2.5 years ago. Absolutely delicious every time. I love that they don't "over" customer service you - they fill your water, get what you need, etc., but they don't just stand and chat or ask how your food is every two minutes.. they just let you eat. It's the best. The food is of course incredible. Highly recommend.

I've eaten here many times. The food and service is always good. I ordered drunkard noodled just recently and the aroma is just amazing. I asked for spicy and the flavor was just perfect. Good quantity of meat present. My only complaint is the amount of fat i found in the meats. I had to pick those out. But overall great!

Been in this resto a couple of times and quality of food in previous visits have been good. But today wasn’t. 3 of the dishes we ordered — Phad Thai, Sweet & sour fish fillet, and green curry were so much different- the portions were too small and were full of garnishings, been sprouts less noodles, fish had too much quartered red tomatoes, you can’t find the fish, and the green curry was diluted, no more veggies in it :( My husband and I were disappointed. Service was fast though.

You must try the yellow curry. Everything is delicious

Diner Review №199

great food as always!!!!!

Diner Review №200

We came here on a very hot day and the air conditioning was very weak so we didn’t order any curry or anything spicy. Pad Thai was too sweet to my taste but everything else were good. Will definitely come back to try the curry dishes. Convenient location. It is right next to Nimitz and got plenty of covered and outdoor parking spots.
