Reviews Oishii Thai

We just enjoyed lunch at Siam Siam and will definitely be back. Our hunt for good Thai food has been disappointing so far, so we were pleasantly surprised to find this place in an unassuming strip mall. It is adjacent from the strip mall that Rivaj is located in, which is another favorite of ours. I had the unique opportunity during my studies to live in Thailand for about half a year. Once you get exposed to Thai food, you are constantly in search of those bright, balanced flavors that make it so unforgettable. With that in mind, I applaud this place for keeping authenticity in their food while still making obvious adjustments for the western palate. Papaya salad - this is the best papaya salad we have had outside of the city. Loved the abundance of whole peanuts (as well as some crushed ones) and the depth of flavor in the fish sauce. Definitely recommend this! Pad Thai (with Tofu) - I have had stellar pad Thai in the street markets throughout Thailand, so it is hard to find one here that compares. This version was a pretty good contender. The sweetness hits you first, with a hint on spice (we ordered ours medium). I worried it might be a bit too sweet, but contrasted against the tangy papaya salad, it was pretty good. I would definitely order again. Thai Beef Noodle Soup - if you have been to Thailand, you’ll know there are few things better than the noodle soup stands. The broth is like a warm hug, and you crave it even on hot days. Siam’s beef noodle soup was all the right balance of flavors in a bowl big enough to share. It is not Pho, but has similar characteristics to it. Both my husband and I were not as keen on the beef though, it was a little chewy, but the broth and noodles were good. Basil Fried Rice (with seafood) - the amount of seafood in this dish was impressive, huge ringlets of soft squid, shrimp, scallops (smaller ones), and fake crab (which I can live without) were perfectly cooked in flavorful rice, basil, and a prominent fish sauce base. My husband really enjoyed this - I was too full to try it but will enjoy the leftovers. So pleased to know there is a good Thai place outside of the city. Thank you for giving me a little walk down my Thai memory lane with these dishes. We will definitely be back to try more!!

I have been going to this place from the time it was on Dundee road. I always love the portion of food and the taste. Usually I try the pad Thai with veggies or tofu and curry fried rice with the similar options. It was a variety of different options for meat lovers. At the same time the vegetarian can get most of the dishes requesting to replace meat with veggie or tofu. Also the place is economical compared to other Thai restaurants I have been and their inflated prices post COVID.

Had a taste for something different. I love Thai curry, but decided to try something else. Went with the Chicken Balloon. There is a spicy sauce, it was mostly on the bottom by the time I got home. I like spicy, and this was strong, but not burn your mouth. I'm giving 4 stars because there was no vegetable in the dish and it wasn't consistently cooked. Most had a soft crust, some a crunchy crust. Will definitely go back and try something else. The staff was friendly and efficient.

I tried the Pad Thai here and Thai Iced Coffee. The Pad Thai was good and very flavorful. The portion was very generous and the food is very filling. The Iced Coffee was too sweet for my taste but still good. I can't wait to try more of the food here.

Even though I haven't seen the restaurant full, the food and service are amazing. Best Pad Thai dishes. Also, the apps are really great. Always a smile on the server's face. Will definitely continue to be customers.

I first ate here when they were located in Wheeling off Dundee Rd 2012-2015. I've moved to Utah and Make the 30 mile drive from the South Side of Chicago every visit, just to have rheir Curry Fried Rice. My fav. Every Thai restaurant I eat no matter where I go I order their Chicken Curry Fried Rice in the hopes it will be the same and I'm always disappointed. I'm happy to see Siam I still going strong! Hopefully they are open tomorrow (July 4th) while I'm in town for another visit 🤎

Nice, large servings at reasonable prices. Flavors were very good. Not pictured are Crab Rangoon and potstickers... Also delicious.

Nice booths to sit at, nice decor, clean, plenty of parking. The food is impeccable and I am agog at the lunch specials. So good, so inexpensive! Om nom nom!

Always good. I've been here for lunch, and dinner. On the weekend and during the week. The staff is very nice and the food is great.
