Siam Pasta in Chicago is a hidden gem that skillfully combines the flavors of Thai cuisine with the comfort of Italian pasta dishes. Tucked away in a cozy corner, this restaurant offers a unique and delightful dining experience.
The menu at Siam Pasta boasts an impressive fusion of Thai and Italian dishes, offering a tantalizing selection of curries, stir-fries, and, of course, pasta. The standout dish for me was the "Pad Thai Carbonara," a creative twist that flawlessly blends the creaminess of carbonara with the bold flavors of the classic Thai noodle dish.
During my visit, our waitress, Mia, provided outstanding service that enhanced our dining experience. Her warm and friendly demeanor made us feel welcome, and her knowledge of the menu helped us navigate the exciting fusion offerings.
The ambiance at Siam Pasta is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal with friends or a special someone. The attention to detail in both the decor and the food presentation adds an extra layer of enjoyment.
In conclusion, Siam Pasta is a must-try for adventurous foodies looking to embark on a culinary journey that bridges the gap between two diverse cuisines. With its delectable fusion dishes and excellent service by Mia, this restaurant has earned its place as one of my favorite...
Read moreThis has been my go-to Thai takeout for years, but I think I’m breaking up with them. For my last order, I browsed the menu on their website then called them directly to order two duck curries and a Thai iced tea. When I went to pick up my order the bill seemed weirdly high, but I was parked at a bus stop so I paid and left. I noticed when I got home that the charge for each curry was $3 higher than the menu price.
I was willing to move past that until I ate the food. We ordered 4/5 spicy, and received 0/5 spicy. The main ingredient in the duck curry was bamboo shots, which tasted like they’d been dumped in straight from the can after everything had been cooked. There was an okay amount of duck, then the occasional green pepper slice and that’s about it. It tasted like Thai food you’d get in Iowa from a restaurant run by white people who’d tasted Thai food once on vacation then followed the directions on the back of a coconut milk can.
Their consistency has been spotty for a while, but I think this is the end for me. My partner and I get takeout as our little splurge most Friday nights, but if I’m going to spend almost $50 for two entrees and a drink that I pick up myself I need to know that it’s not going to suck. Otherwise I’d save $42 and pick up a hot &...
Read moreI freely admit that there are way too many foods I get addicted to way too easily. If they could isolate the gene for loves great tasting ethnic food, and the country of origin I could blame for that DNA...nah still wouldn't help. So Thai food. Sweet, sour, spicy gets the engines revved. That's when I head here - SiamPasta - for great Thai food - to go. I don't want to possibly wait for delivery, and eating in restaurants waiting for service - nah. I do take-out. Share it with my friend. She loves it - makes it a special event. Start with Tod Mun, Chicken Satay, Spring Rolls or Pot Stickers. Cucumber or Thai Beef Salad. Pad Thai or Lard Nar Chicken. Maybe Thai Pepper Steak or Emerald Chicken. Thai custard. Can't eat it all at once? Leftovers still rock. Those are our favorites. Order early. Avoid the rush. If anyone is crabby - which I haven't seen - does not matter. Do it for the food. Make the sacrifice. For...
