Siam Splendour — honest thai in Evanston. The food tastes like it should, with no compromises. Owner on site. Cloe: "The noodle dishes were delicious, bouncy perfectly cooked noodles with the right amount of seasoning" [$]

An amazing spot for Thai cuisine in Evanston! This small restaurant has some of the best Asian food around with the plus of the really fair prices and large portion sizes. We got the pad Thai, kang keow waan, and the pad krapao. Everything was super flavorful and delicious, best enjoyed sharing with friends! I also highly recommend trying the Thai iced tea here—it’s so creamy and perfectly rich. If you’re looking for a Thai spot in Evanston, come to Siam Splendiour!

Siam Splendour is an AMAZING restaurant serving rich, delicious curries with large portions for a decent price. In particular, their green curry is wonderful and decadent.

Really like their food. Everything was warm and delicious. There's 3 levels of spice-- and I recommend level 3. It wasn't too overwhelming and gave the food a really nice kick

I don’t ever leave reviews, but after eating here at least once a week during college, I had to. This place LITERALLY KEEPS ME ALIVE during school - the kao pad kari and panang curry are actually touched by the gods. Also, you can’t miss the thai ice tea - it’s so so good! It’s usually slammed during the weekends with desperate college students looking for hot food, so make sure to make a reservation. It’s so wonderful here! :)

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 precision every time.

Can't go wrong with just about anything. The pad Thai is great, the panang curry and green curry are both delicious, but my favorite is the Khao SOI.
