Star of Siam — neighborhood thai in River North. The kitchen takes tradition seriously. Service that's warm without being over the top. Lilly Dominguez: "The red snapper was absolutely delicious—crispy, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared"

“I had an amazing experience at Star of Siam.”
I had an amazing experience at Star of Siam! The red snapper was absolutely delicious—crispy, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. The appetizers were amazing, and my piña colada was refreshing and perfectly made. Our whole table loved the food and drinks, and the staff was so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

“This place is an absolute gem.”
This place is an absolute gem! The massaman curry was delicious with multiple layers of flavors. Mango sticky rice never disappoints, and the edamame was as expected.

“Such a great experience to come and enjoy meals here.”
Such a great experience to come and enjoy meals here. Actually I just looking for an asian restaurant with no pork in the menu, and I found this place. After Ied-Fitr Salah, we come and was surprised that there is a HALAL’s logo in front of the restaurant 🥹🥹 Since I feel a bit difficult to find a Halal restaurant, I am so happy to find this place. A cozy-elegant and super clean place. I remember about the mirror beside our chosen-table, it was super duper clean, looks like no mirror anymore there. About a meals, it was really delicious. We ordered this four meals: • Mango Sticky Rice (my favorite!) • Thai Tea Iced • Beef Star Lover (Almond Beef) • Chicken Noodle Soup The portion actually too large for me, and I think I will take away the rest. But I love the taste of the Chicken Noodle Soup and make my bowl clean 👏🏻😄 Everything is good for us. Worth a repeat visit! 🥰

“Authentic Thai cuisine.”
Authentic Thai cuisine. We loved the ambiance and the staff. We were treated with a special dish specifically made for us by one of the key staff members. We visited as a group and were happily full when we left.

Love this place. 2nd times I’ve been here when I’m the area of Chicago. Food is fresh and delicious. Off minor street so a little quieter and cheaper than the main st. Food is amazing. We had chicken soup and appetizers. Pot stickers, crab Rangoon, vegi egg rolls and cucumber salad all which were great. They do add the 15% tip for you but let you k ow up front. I recommend.

“Star of Siam Restaurant has been here for ages and is a well known Thai food standby by both locals...”
Star of Siam Restaurant has been here for ages and is a well known Thai food standby by both locals and area employers (catering). We started with Gyo Tod (fried wontons) which were unique as you usually don’t see shrimp wontons on Thai menus! They were served with in-house made plum sauce and were generously filled. Very good delicious starter to dinner. We ordered Pad Ruam Mit (mixed vegetables) with chicken although you can have tofu or other meat choices. Also, Panang Nue (beef curry) which didn’t disappoint. Huge amount of beef in the rich flavorful curry! Both dishes offered generous amounts of tender meat and vibrant flavors. Notables: 1. If you like your dish spicy hot then you need to tell the server or you’ll get your dish served flat tasting (in my opinion). 2. Jasmin rice is extra and doesn’t come with your meal but the food was really good quality and generously portioned so it wasn’t a big deal. Restaurant was clean, service was excellent and friendly. Tables and booths are very roomy.
