Stunning! Fresh, bright flavors in all the food items I had.
✅The tom yum soup, while lighter on coconut milk than I am accustomed to, & sans mushrooms, was chock fill of lemongrass, lime, & just the right amount of chili flake.
✅The pad mee was so lovely with its vegetables crisp, vermicelli noodles with perfect bite, & a generous portion of chicken. I, in fact, could not finish the portion on my own.
✅I finished with the sorbet & found them delicious without being overly sweet.
Would absolutely return to Siam, & would recommend it to anyone.
The Table D'hote was delicious! The appetizer platter was so tasty & a real variety. Our crispy chicken & beef curry were amazing. Our server was wonderful. She was so helpful & honest in helping us with our ordering. I wish that I could remember her name because of how friendly & helpful she was.
If your looking for an amazing Thai place in Montreal, I'd definitely recommend Siam! I sat at the bar with my friend where I was served by the bartender. They were very friendly! We got the Kai Yang chicken & the green curry with braised beef, & from the first bite all I could say is WOW! Excellent choice for a cute date night or even for celebrations of any kind! I'll be coming back😄
I had a really great time at Siam. The food was really delicious, we ordered 3 different ones & shared, I can assure you they were all tasty. Fredrick was also quite nice, & he made the night more enjoyable for us with his presence & service. If you like spicy food, don't be afraid of Cashew Chicken.
My friend & I both had the sweet & sour chicken, a staple of westernized asian cuisine. I've had & I've cook this dish many times & know how it should taste. We were served a weird looking mixture in which the fried chicken was drowning. The batter, the sauce, & the chicken were neither sweet nor sour. A few minutes into the meal, we both look at each other & said'this is aweful'. On a positive note, the staff were very polite & the restaurant was nice. However, the food was a big disappointment & would not eat there again.
If you're lucky enough to have Oliver as your waiter, you will have an unforgettable dining experience!! He dilgently served my delicious gluten-free meal (chicken curry). Shoutout to Julianne who bartended with such finess!
The food was good, nice portion sizes, the prawn appertizer was very nice, & the beef massaman was tasty. The dumplings & chicken satay were ok, but not amazing.
The service, however, was a real struggle. It took over 25 minutes to get a drink, & we had had a lot of issues trying to get our waiters attention to order & pay the bill, the sangria was very nice & we would have stayed for more, but it was to hard to get service so we gave up.
It's worth a visit, good thai food, not a must visit though.

The skewers were good, the chicken was hard & so little I could practically count how many pieces were on it (& for almost $30) its not worth the price, not for the amount of food nor for the quality
Read many good reviews so our expectations were probably high. However, from the moment we walked in, the experience was good at best. We were shown to a table on the upper outer terrace covered in ants. We were moved inside at our request, but placed directly under the aircon outlet, so we were cold. The bottled beer I was served was beyond its best before date (only be a few days, so I wouldn't be mentioning this but for all of the other small things that just show a lack of attention to detail). A shared starter of Karee Puffs were really nice, but they came out on a bed of green leaves that were well beyond eating. They were dry, wilted & dead. I mentioned this to the server who didn't express any view & just shrugged his shoulders. The mains were tasty, but only warm, not helped by the aircon or the fact that we did not get new warm plates (our starter plates were left on the table). My wife had a red chicken curry (indicated at one chilli spice level) & I had the green beef curry (2 chilli), but there was no spice/heat in my curry at all. Overall, the venue looks great, & the food was tasty, but warm at best & very poorly presented. This experience was just not as good as it could have so easily been. Small improvements in attention to detail would make a huge difference.
I've been to Siam about four or five times now, & overall, I would say it's a solid, well-rounded restaurant. The space itself is elegant without being over the top. You can tell the restaurant is aiming for that more elevated dining experience, & in most ways, it succeeds.
Let's start with what keeps me coming back: the table d'hôte. It's kind of their signature offering, a generous spread of five to six starters, two mains, rice, & either tea or coffee to wrap up for 90$. It's a great format if you want to explore the menu in one sitting. You get variety, consistency, & good value for what you receive.
The appetizers are solid across the board. From crispy spring rolls & chicken satay to those coconut shrimp skewers & dumplings, everything comes out fresh, well plated, & balanced in flavour. The sauces are well thought out, sweet chili, peanut, nuoc cham, & the mango salad adds that much-needed crunch & acidity. It's not reinventing anything, but it's all well executed.
The real star, though & I don't say this lightly is the beef red curry! It's phenomenal. The beef is so tender it literally melts in your mouth, like butter on a hot skillet. The curry itself is rich, velvety, & full of depth. You get layers of flavour: creamy coconut, a punch of chili heat, those unmistakable notes of lemongrass & kaffir lime, all balanced in a way that hits the palate just right. I've had it every single time I've gone, & it's one of the few dishes I'd actually describe as addictive.
Now... the less exciting part. The table d'hôte hasn't changed in at least three years. Same starters, same mains, same everything. & while it's comforting to know what to expect, I do think the menu could benefit from a bit of seasonal rotation or at least one or two new additions. For a place that positions itself on the higher end, a little evolution would go a long way. When I go out for this kind of dining experience, part of the joy is in discovering new things... & right now, that's missing.
That's where the five-star rating drops a bit for me. It's not the quality, that's there. It's the lack of freshness in the offering over time.
The drink menu is solid but leans expensive. Cocktails are well made & beautifully presented, tropical, often layered with Thai flavours like basil, ginger, or mango, but again, it adds up quickly, especially if you're doing the full menu.
Service is generally great, professional & warm, & the pace is well managed. You can feel the intention of offering a more refined experience. That said, I did have one visit that really missed the mark. One of the mains came out bland, which was a shock given how flavourful the food usually is. The dish was genuinely disappointing, & unfortunately, the staff didn't acknowledge it or offer anything to make up for it, which, to be honest, was a bit of a letdown at this price point. But in fairness, it was a one-time thing out of several great meals.
Most recently, I brought my partner, who's from Asia & usually quite tough to impress when it comes to Southeast Asian cuisine. He was genuinely impressed, with the flavours, the attention to detail, & the plating. That reaction alone gave me some reassurance that despite the stagnant menu, the core quality is still there.
So yes, Siam is still a place I would recommend. The dishes are consistent, visually beautiful, & generally packed with flavour. It's just time for the menu to get the same kind of attention the plating & ambiance already do.
I was hosting a Bridal Shower for my friend & thankfully Siam offered a private room. They were extremely accommodating with us bringing our decor, setting up, & bringing in little treats. The staff were extremely welcoming. Oliver was funny, kind & went above & beyond for us & the group. (As you can tell in the photo- He had the soon to be bride & guests laughing the entire time).
Not only that, the food was AMAZING. We had ordered from the set menu. Which was extremely worth it. I had gotten the Chicken Satay skewers (Super tender & flavourful) & the Green Beef Curry. (The amount of meat was generous which is usually rare for fancy places). Both of these dishes were amazing & I've had lots of Thai food.
Other than our room, the interior of the restaurant was beautiful & had a massive buddha statue, which I loveee.
I am from out of town, so hosting an event in another city is hard, but Siam made it extremely easy for me & I did not feel judged or pressured by the staff with the amount of decor we had.
Would recommend 100%

Dinner for two, busy Friday night. Sat upstairs above the bar. Nice decor. Bit of a party atmosphere (several birthdays), background 2000s pop music. Could be considered noisy for some people. Food was excellent & beautifully presented (satay, papaya salad, green curry & chicken fried rice). Duck wontons were nice, but a bit less flavourful. Service was attentive & timely. Would go back.
It's been a while since I've had food that blew my mind. Siam is the best place to go if you love authentic yet elevated Thai food.
We had the duck wontons, khao soi & the Thai roasted chicken followed by the mango sticky rice for dessert. Each dish & element was unique & had levels of flavour.
Would definitely recommend this place for special occasions.
Just had our first experience at Siam loved the food our waiter Umair was really attentive & helpful. & also reccomended the red chicken curry & the green chicken curry which were both phenomenal!
First, before mentioning the food, I have to praise the service. Our server, Chloe, seemed to be the only one on the floor to serve countless tables. & unlike many servers who keep their eyes downcast so as not to notice your call, this young woman's eyes continuously scanned the floor to see who would need her next. A perfect representative for this employers business. The food was outstanding & abundant. I cannot eat spicy foods, but the chicken & peanut sauce had the kick without the heat. Absolutely delicious. My friend & I will be returning many times more. Thanks for a great evening Siam.
