Siam Station Cupertino — Restaurant in Cupertino

Came here for a slightly early lunch (~11:30 AM) on a Saturday and we were able to be seated right away! Around 12:30 PM is when we noticed that people had to start using the Yelp Waitlist and were waiting outside. We were a party of 5 and had ordered: Pad Thai (mild), Green Curry (mild), Tom Yum Noodles (hot), Thai Boat (Hot), and the Khao Soi (not spicy). Appetizers were fried tofu & the papaya salad. I had such high hopes for this place to possibly serve as my go-to over a place that I frequently visit whenever I’m in Los Angeles; however, it did not meet the bar. The food was pretty bland if not too lemony.

From the items that we had ordered, the only 2 that I would recommend getting are the Green Curry & the Khao Soi. Those had the most “complexity” in terms of flavor, whereas the rest were lacking. We had requested salt and pepper so that we could add it with the fried tofu, but it wasn’t the same. There was more lemon than fish sauce in the Papaya salad; where it was fine, but not good or great.

Main reason for the poor star rating is lack of flavor & no spice. It’s probably more catered for the non-spicy palette.

Parking: It’s located in a plaza and there’s ample parking at the location.

Service: Fair. It was a little confusing how we would be placing the orders and how to get the check, but they do it all electronically through their tablets. A server came to take our orders and they repeated the order back to us. The food came out fairly quickly and they bring a mobile pay station to your table when it’s time to pay.

Best Part: The aesthetics of this place. They nail it in terms of all of the decor from the tables in the dining area to their bathrooms!

Worst Part: The spiciness. There was absolutely no hint of spice in any of the dishes that we had ordered which was very disappointing considering that I had ordered the Tom Yum Noodles with max spice (hot), but the noodles were too lemony and over powered any spice that there could have been.

Return: Possibly to try the Pad Kee Mao, but probably not because the spice level isn’t up to...

⭐ 4/5 – Phenomenal food, but parking is a nightmare & check your order!

If you’re looking for some of the best Thai food in town, this place delivers on flavor. Every dish was rich, perfectly spiced, and incredibly satisfying—easily one of the best Thai meals I’ve had in a long time. However, there are some big downsides that make the experience a bit frustrating, especially if you’re doing takeout.

🌶️ The Food: 5/5

Absolutely fantastic flavors, from the curries to the stir-fried dishes. The seasoning was spot-on, with just the right amount of spice, depth, and authenticity. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were solid. If you’re a fan of Thai food, this place is a must-try.

🚗 The Parking: 1/5

This is where things get rough. The parking lot is absolute chaos. It’s small, crowded, and completely disorganized—people were double parking, blocking others in, and making it way more stressful than it should be. If you’re dining in, be prepared to either wait for a spot or park farther away and walk. If you’re doing takeout, expect a challenge just trying to pull in and out.

📦 The Pick-Up Experience: 3/5

Ordering for pick-up seemed like the better move, but they forgot part of my order, which was frustrating. The staff was friendly and helpful, but when a place is this busy, mistakes happen. If you’re picking up, triple-check your bag before leaving!

🏠 The Atmosphere: 3/5

It’s a popular spot, and you can tell—it’s always packed. If you like a lively, bustling environment, you’ll love it. But if you prefer something more relaxed, be prepared for noise and a bit of a wait.

💰 The Verdict: Worth It, But Be Smart About It

✅ Absolutely worth trying for the food alone ✅ Pick-up or delivery is a great option—but check your order ✅ If you’re dining in, make a reservation & prepare for a busy experience ❌ Parking is a mess, so plan ahead

Would I come back? Definitely—but I’ll be sticking to delivery or pick-up (after double-checking...

I spent the last 15 years in Bangkok. I know Thai food very well. My friends added me to their doordash order and so I played it safe. I ordered a Pad See Eiw. My friends ordered the Khao Soi, Panang, and eggplant. I've only been back in the bay area for 2 months and the Thai food scene here is well... underdeveloped. Siam Station though delivered, it's rare to see flavors and authenticity to this level outside of Los Angeles but all things considered they are doing it right. It won't ever be exactly the same, some ingredients simply are not available here but they've adapted well and can make you get a real taste of Thailand whether it's the North, Northeast, or central flavors. I don't know if they do Southern Thai and to be honest most noobs couldn't handle it anyways. I can't speak for their service or atmosphere but I'll stop in for lunch or dinner sometime and see what else we can give.

Pad See Eiw- 5/5 very basic street food good for beginners, good barometer for how everything else is going to be.

Panang- 3/5 Common curry this was missing some body thought. I felt like they could have added some young bamboo or banana leaf or something that is available in the market now to give it a few more dimensions.

Khao Soi- 4/5 This is my go to Dish for any Thai Restaurant actually. It's not a soup folks stop calling it that. The cooks can do a better job with the crispy noodles, what we got was all fried together and fried into a noodle hockey puck. The curry itself was spot on, but points off again for the lack of accoutrements. I want my pickled mustard greens, I want my shallots, I want my cilantro and Culantro ผักชีฝรั่งและผักชี. And most of all I want my hot thai chili oil.

Egglpant- 5/5 This is just something they make for people. It's not something I ever saw but I could be wrong. ...
