I have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years (since it was at it's previous location across from the Westin). Their food has always been consistently delish! I try Pad Thai at other restaurants, it never comes close to House of Siam. The owner, I think his name is Joe, is an absolute doll. I have never seen him without a smile on his face. He is kind, warm and genuine. He is what makes the atmosphere at House of Siam great!

I read the previous reviwes and was exicted for tasty Thai food. I was very disapointed! We ordered a house salad and Pad CU. I have never had worse Pad CU. There was way too much fish sauce and the noodles were overcooked. Vegetables? No just stalks of what once was... and the house salad was nothing special. Perhaps they were having a bad day, perhaps.

They have delicious food!!! The pineapple rice is my favorite. The only thing that was a turn-off, was the bathroom smelt like sulfur downstairs.

I waited 2 hours for delivery on Valentines Day for two years in a row. Last year, there was a good reason - it was a wintery mess with sleet and freezing rain and I was happy anyone would deliver. This year, I'm not sure of the reason as the roads were clear as could be. I phoned the restaurant to inquire (after 1 hour 45 mins of no food) and the pleasant voice stated the driver was en route and requested my telephone number so the manager may call me back. The manager was very nice and requested I not provide the driver a tip,as he would pay him. It is by no means the delivery drivers fault for lack of proper staffing by the restaurant and found that to be a cop out for poor management. I can imagine it is the driver that would be screwed in this situation. The food is very tasty, however no food is worth a 2 hour wait anytime. I will not order delivery from House of Siam - unless I order at 3pm for an expected 7pm dinner. Cons: Delivery understaffed.

House of Siam has some of the best Thai food in Boston (which despite its great restaurants, tends to be lacking in great ethnic food - so take this with a grain-of-salt if you are from San Francisco or New York). The staff (esp. the owner) is always very welcoming and the restaurant is clean and cozy (small, but not by South End standards). Prices are about average for South End (this is not $5 food-court fare). I have ordered takeout many times and they have never messed-up my order. Only once have I had to wait longer than the stated 20 minutes (the night of a redsox game) and that was also the only time my food was luke-warm. My personal favorites would include the green-curry chicken and any duck-dish that they serve. PS If you ever have to wait too long for a table, try Mangia pizza across the street!

delicious, consistant and everyone i bring loves it. the owner always remembers me and is sweet and professional. on a cold day he insisted that i take a gratis hot tea before i went back outside. and for the south end it's a deal.

consistently great quality for pick-up, dining in, and delivery. Nice historic South End brownstone dining room, and service is always efficient and attentive.
