Chicago | New Thai Spot Review 🔥 Pad Kra Pao Approved!

Another tasty Thai restaurant added to Chicago's list! Great ambiance — both aesthetics and flavors deliver. 💰 Lunch special: $25 for starter + main + dessert — solid deal! ⚠️ Service is slow — we waited a long time to be seated. Avoid peak hours unless you want to get hangry. ✅ Must-Order Dishes: 1️⃣ PAD KRA PAO (Spicy Basil Pork) Wok-fried ground pork with holy basil, spicy and fragrant — mix with rice and you'll finish two bowls in no time! 🍚🔥 2️⃣ PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE Golden curry-fried rice with big pineapple chunks, cashews, egg, and onions. Sweet pineapple + mild curry spice — addictive and perfectly textured. 3️⃣ DUCK RED CURRY Crispy-skinned duck simmered in creamy coconut red curry until fall-apart tender. Lychee and pineapple add fruity sweetness — sauce is perfect over rice. 4️⃣ SPICY POMELO CRAB SALAD Juicy pomelo bits like bursting roe, mixed with crab meat — tangy, sweet, lightly spicy. A refreshing palate cleanser! 5️⃣ ZABB WINGS (Thai Fried Chicken Wings) Crispy outside, juicy inside — served with spicy peanut sauce. Tangy, nutty, and totally addictive. 6️⃣ GARLIC SHRIMP Plump, tender shrimp in garlicky sauce with red onions — great for garlic lovers. 7️⃣ SIAM DESSERT SET Three classic Thai sweets in one: coconut ice cream with real coconut meat, wobbly coconut pudding, and mango sticky rice (the last was just okay). 💡 Verdict: Worth revisiting — but avoid peak hours! ✅ Flavorful, mostly hit dishes ✅ Nice atmosphere ⏳ Service and seating are slow 💰 ~$50–60 per person 📍 Siam Thai Eatery Chicago 1329 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60605 #ChicagoEats #ThaiFood #SiamThai #PadKraPao #PineappleFriedRice #DuckCurry #ThaiWings
