SIAM Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Barrington

Their noodle dishes are excellent. Pad Thai and pad see ew are done very well. The spring rolls are serviceable, but not great. If you're looking for curry, you'll have better luck elsewhere; I found them to be watery and unflavorful, with the only thing you could taste was the heat from the spices and not actual flavor. (I'll be trying it again soon, as I had it when they first opened and hopefully things improved)

The atmosphere could be decent, apart from the deafening door buzzer that goes off every time someone comes in or goes out (seriously, fix this, there's no reason for it)

The service has been pretty good, the orders are accurate and staff are polite.

I'll certainly be going back, but there are better options within 20 minutes for curry and...

My mom and I decided to give this place a try on a whim, and what a pleasant surprise! The interior was so cute and colorful and smelled delicious. We ordered chicken pho, crispy pad thai with fried tofu, and chicken tempura. Everything stayed fresh, hot, and even crispy on our 15 minute drive back home. The pho broth was so comforting and savory. The pad thai had amazing texture and was complimented nicely by its hearty sauce. The chicken tempura was a hit, and we really loved the sweet/tangy/lightly spicy dipping oil that came with it! Will absolutely be going back to try...

I have had take-out from them several times. The good: delicious food that is ready when they say it will be. I had been getting the pad thai which is great, but their curry rice/pineapple rice is on a different level. Good range of meat/meat substitutes or vegetable options to go with their dishes.

The bad: their spice range is not consistent, I don't recommend going hotter if the first time you went it wasn't hot enough because it varies day to day. Not enough of an issue for me to dock them any stars though.

Try them, you...
