Siam Terrace — Restaurant in Urbana

Meant to leave a review on Saturday after a great service experience by a helpful red haired server. He moved urgently but not rushing as he waited on tables. Sure this is isn’t a time to strike up friendly banter, but still he was part of the best team of servers I’ve had in a while. I really hope they get all the tips the guests are leaving with the generous pockets of people like me dining in for the first time in a long while.

I’ve heard lately of some restaurants that are skimming the credit card tips and paying a higher hourly wage. This is the reason give only cash tips lately. Think this might be a time where giving a cash tip is the best way to guarantee the service gets your $ and not the management. Speaking as a former book keeper of a large restaurant in the city that was using the credit card tips to pay managers. They were caught and had auditors digging through years of back wage records. Only one brave server spoke up when he realized the GM and other non servers were getting a tip check.

Bland. I've eaten here several times over the years. If you want Thai, go to Thara Thai, Thai Fusion, or Bangkok Thai, all of which are much better than Siam Terrace.

The 4.5 star rating is entirely driven by 1) ST being the only Thai place in town for a long time, and 2) I love this region but a lot of folks here tend to like bland food. ST delivers that &...

Okay so there might be reasons people order something OTHER than Mock Duck Curry, but I don't know why! The dish is simply one of the best vegan things I have encountered... anywhere! If you do order something other than Mock Duck Curry, you will find an expansive collection of options for all tastes.

Siam Terrace is the best place for Thai food in CU and a must visit. The family-owned business creates a welcoming atmosphere. They are friendly and responsive to the needs of customers. The staff, despite the turnover of a college town, is always well trained and courteous.

This place is perfect for date night, family meal or business lunch. They also do delivery and carry out options as well!

You should go there,...
