Siam Splendour — Restaurant in Evanston Township

I've been coming to this restaurant with my family for 7+ years. Recently, at least 1 staff here started to use extremely toxic Gain scent beads on their clothes, making the entire place very painful to breathe in. I nearly died of the searing, stinging pain while eating here. Food is great, but I don't think I could stand the strong Gain scent beads contaminating the restaurant's indoor air anymore, so I am going to stop coming to this restaurant with my family. At first, it was air fresheners. Then it was itchy Gain detergent. Now it's painful Gain scent beads. These are restaurant people and they keep experimenting with super toxic fragrances, and it has been non-stop!!! If you are sensitive to toxic fragrances, you will not like it here. Great flavor and delicious although it is only excellent 65% of the time. 35% of the time it is just not that flavorful and often too salty or too sweet. Recipe ratios are not consistently measured to...

This is the best Thai food I’ve ever had in my life! I wish I lived closer bc I would eat this weekly if I could. Instead it’s saved for special holidays like Christmas and Birthdays and anytime I’m in Evanston.

My family has been coming here for decades and it’s always a joy. The prices are fair, the portions are big, the flavors are delicious, the food is so fresh, and the owners are incredibly friendly. I tell everyone who likes Thai flavors to come here. I have been searching for comparable Thai food forever and it just doesn’t exist, this place is it!

We love to get the lime chicken, the pad Thai, the nam sod, drunken noodle, pad se iew, Tom Ka khai , kari puffs, Panang curry, basil beef, and coconut rice (not always at the same time haha). The meat, poultry, and tofu are always high quality and a pleasing texture. They have never ever gotten our to go order wrong either, which is invaluable in these times where we’re doing carry out so much more than...

Very good Thai restaurant with a few authentic Thai dishes that you might not otherwise find at other Thai restaurants.

Their noodle dishes like Pad See Ew has a wok hei flavor. In Asian cooking, "wok hei" means breath of the wok, which essentially refers to the smoky, charred flavor that you get from stir frying in a wok over very high heat. If I have to give an analogy, it's like giving a steak a really good sear.

I also recommend one of their rice dishes called Kao Nar Ped, which is roast duck served with Chinese broccoli and rice. Siam Splendour also has an authentic Thai appetizer called Tod Mun, which is a savory fish cake accompanied by a tangy dipping sauce. I also especially like their Thai Custard for dessert, and am looking forward to mango being back in season so I can order their Mango Sticky Rice.

With so many Thai restaurants in the area, you can't go wrong with...
