Siam Cuisine

Excellent food, friendly staff, and reasonable prices! This restaurant is a winner :)

Everything was good .i bought the chicken curry. My buddy ordered the beef something. Which he enjoyed. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I did not get the check or it was not placed in the middle of the table. This is common behavior when 2 people are at a restaurant and the check goes to the other person. I guess it's a USA thing 4 out of 5 times. , go figure. Otherwise, the service was great.

The food is really good and healthy, a nice change from the many burger/pizza/fake Italian places which seem to be the only options around Truckee/Tahoe. The staff is very nice, not “overly friendly” like what seem to be the standards in the US which might be why their overall rating isn’t that high. Good prices too and fast service.

For Tahoe area, where food is super expensive, food here was reasonably priced. Service was fast which helps after a full day of skiing. Host was polite. We were happy for having our stomach full. Dishes had lots of vegetables which is always a plus. Paid for what we got.

Truckee’s Noodle Heaven - not sure what I would do without this place. I get crippling cravings for their Hangover Noodle with the chewy wide rice noodles, and Siam Cuisine has the cure. Whether dine in or take-out, it’s always done correctly. Many other places use incorrect noodles which results in disappointment, but Siam Cuisine always delivers the satisfaction. 100%

We had dinner here with friends & truly enjoyed the cuisine! ordered green curry chicken, spicy basil fried rice, spring rolls, satay. Highly recommend!

Took 5 minutes after parking in the plaza in the back to figure out that it was on the first floor which requires walking down a set of stairs on the side of the building. Plenty of seating and was no trouble to be seated for 2 people at 5:30pm on a Saturday weekend before July 4th. We were the only ones in the restaurant but in the next 30 minutes a couple more tables were seated along with some to-go orders. We ordered the papaya salad, Seafood suki soup, pad see ew (seafood). Food came out within 5-10 minutes and everything was super delicious. The papaya salad had a nice amount of spice and the papaya was very crunch and fresh. The seafood suki soup with noodles and lots of variety of seafood was a big hit with a warming and hearty broth. The pad see ew portions weren't big but packed full of flavor with bouncy wide noodles. Service was quick and friendly and prices are reasonable.

The staff were very attentive and accommodating. We had a party of four adults and two infants. The food was delicious and everything came out quickly! Portions could be bigger but in a place so close to Tahoe, it was a great find :)

The food tasted much better than I expected, only thing need to work on is the fried rice oily, and not much rice inside , The yellow curry was authentic and tasted amazingly good ! Tom yum was good too.

Very good Thai food and a spectacularly cozy restaurant right here in ski country. The food was great, but the Thai mango sticky rice is really probably the best, and fanciest I've ever had. We had Curry, soup and a fried rice dish and they were all excellent. If you like Thai food, you'll love Siam Cuisine. With lots of great options around Tahoe, it's hard to stand out, but this place really does

Yummy Thai food. Suspiciously fast food deliver after ordering; as if nearly everything was pre cooked and just heated up in a sauce pan. Good service. Cozy atmosphere.

Very good flavor 👌🏼 def recommend it. Food looks like any other Thai food but the flavor is amazing. Parking is very limited in the back. The entrance is also very tricky. We had to call to find out how to get in. Do visit for good tasty food.

SO Delicious! We had fresh rolls, pumpkin curry, drunken noodles, Thai basil, panang curry, Spicy eggplant all with chicken and beef. It was incredible flavor and cooked perfectly. The service is great and restaurant is nice inside. It is spicy so go for level 2 and add in spice. You’ll love it! Enjoy!

Excellent Thai food! It has become our tradition to come here the first night we are in town. We love the Pad Woon Sen, Tofu Vegetable Soup, Pork Fried Rice, Avocado Curry, and Mango Sticky Rice. The prices are very reasonable and there are good vegan options.

TINY Thai restaurant. Food is good- Pad Thai Special and Curry’s have great flavor. It can get very crowded so call ahead. The online ordering is flaky- it won’t often won’t show that it went through when it actually did.

Great food. The place is not very updated. Looks like they lost the heat system during the winter so that is a big inconvenience to all the dine-in. I normally get take-out orders. Be careful as during holidays or weekends can be very busy and orders can take closer to 1 hour.

This is my favorite restaurant in Truckee. I grew up in LA and my neighbors were Thai (they owned a restaurant). I'm very picky when it comes to Thai food. For an appetizer, I recommend crab ragoon. The green curry with eggplant and red curry with pumpkin are very good. I get the fried rice every time, though it tends to have too much white onion. The Pad See Ew is good but there is too much meat and not enough noodle. Chicken is their best protein. I think the beef is too tough/chewy. Pork is my second choice. I haven't tried the duck yet.

Had come in late after a long day at Tahoe. The staff was kind enough to let us in and served us a delicious meal. Had basil fried rice, drunken noodles which are a must try. 🤤 For dessert, we had mango sticky rice. Although the quantity was was a tad bit lesser compared to other restaurants, the taste was heavenly. Would come back soon!!

Small Thai restaurant located on a busy street. They are tiny and hard to spot even though they face the street. They have street parking and a parking lot behind the plaza but then I think you have to walk around the building to get to the front. The configuration of this complex is kind of odd. Came in for dinner around 6:45pm on a Saturday. We were the only patrons there but a few other parties did eventually trickle in. Service is not what I would call friendly or attentive, but they were fast and the food was delicious! We got the Spicy Basil Eggplant with pork (picked level 2 of 5 on spiciness level but didn't feel any heat), Hangover noodles with chicken, a small side of Jasmine rice, small sake (only 5 bucks!!), and some mango with sticky rice for dessert. Pricing was reasonable and portions were OK. Overall, thought this was a solid Thai place and we'd love to come back.

Amazing food, generous portions, ok-ish service. Spicy basil fried rice was epic. Also tried the pad thai and the hangover noodles, both good although the pad thai was a bit too sweet for our liking. Spice levels 3 and 4 are great!

Great food, but our order took over 2 hours to prepare, waited in the restaurant for over an hour because the estimate was way off. They should not be accepting orders if they're that backed up.

I haven't even opened my takeout box yet but I wanted to remember to review the service. I walked in wearing a mask, None of the staff were. But a few minutes later they all were. I found this very respectful and courteous. A few minutes later a pair of customers left and left something behind at the table. The waitress rushed out the door to catch them and bring it back. They seem like very thoughtful people

Gotta change my review from 5 stars. Avo rolls and rangoons were overcooked, curry was super thin with what seemed like steamed broccoli tossed in at the end, and 24 bucks for curry is insane. We got one curry, one entrée, and 3 sides for a hundred bucks to go. I realize prices are high everywhere, but this wasn't worth it.

I stopped by to get some vegetables fried rice. I clearly told the lady no onions white or green. Asked what comes in the fried rice and she told me it comes with corn, broccoli and carrot. I told her OK asked her to add tofu to it when I get my order I decided to open it before I leave the restaurant because I took it to go, and there was only rice and tomato, and then I had to repeat to her three times that I wanted vegetable fried rice and she looked at me as if she didn’t know what I was talking about clearly, what fried rice means. Then finally I get them to add the vegetables.

We did not have a good experience here unfortunately. We placed an order online and was told it would be a 45 minute wait. It ended up being a 2 hour wait. They told us they would call us but we were never called and we ended up having to check in on the order to find out it was ready. We ordered drunken noodle and curry with rice. Both were delicious, however the portions were small. The curry came with plenty of sauce and a large portion of rice, but very little meat and veggies. Unfortunately we were still hungry after spending $40+ on food here.

The food is good but we ended up waiting almost 2 hours for takeout on a busy holiday weekend night. Best avoided at these very busy times (note, the estimated ETA online or over the phone may not be accurate). Restaurant needs to have a better system. The ETA was 45 minutes when we called but it took closer to 2 hours in reality. Restaurant should stop taking order online and over the phone when they’re not able to service within a reasonable timeframe…

I am not one to leave a bad review but my family was disappointed with our order tonight. We placed an order online and it took 1.5+ for it to even be given to the driver. The food itself is not something I would come back for. The pad see ew was watery, had loads of black pepper (i’ve never seen this before), and one piece of broccoli. The sticky rice tasted like day old white rice that was reheated slightly and still had hard bits in it. The egg rolls were pretty basic and quite small for the price. Overall the pricing which is quite steep does not match the quality or quantity of food. This potentially could have been avoided if we would have read the reviews but I would not eat here again.

Good service! Ok food. Massuman curry had no color, no veg except onion and potato. Mixed veg dish was very good. Dishes cracked and cups were dirty - this is not ok! Also, by shredding the chicken and beef paper thin in curry’s you can give less and charge more. Not ok.

Great food but the service made for an awful experience. There midweek so things were t overly crazy or busy. Getting seated, receiving menus and even ordering seemed to take quite a while. Getting our food took even longer with my buddies chow coming out easily 10 minutes before mine. He received his meal not just cold but also improperly prepared. Kitchen seemed a total mess. Based on how my meal tasted, I’d go back. Based on the service, not a chance I’d be there again.

Called for pick up order, she was in rush to hang up. See the attached picture for drunken noodles; overdone vegetables and I can’t find a strand of noodles there; it’s all massed up/balled up; only way noodles get there is by heating the leftover from earlier because it is rice noodles. Price is not cheap and that’s understandable for being in Truckee and the location is great. But you can’t be selling reheated food.

We ordered from this restaurant via Door Dash. It might be better at the restaurant. They didn't allow for any substitutions which is hard when people have allergies. The food was also very slow to prepare and the dasher had to wait 45 minutes. The food was very bland, especially the Phad Thai which had 4 shrimp, noodles and sauce only. No peanuts, cilantro, bean sprouts, or any garnish.

I booked a reservation for 6:30pm. When we arrived, the place was PACKED. Barely any walking room. I managed to get a hold of one of the workers, and they said to wait 10 mins. Finally at 6:50pm we were seated. We ordered and did not receive food until 8:20pm. An hour and a half after!! They are extremely short staffed and if you’re that busy, then don’t take my reservation! We would’ve gone somewhere else. At least the food was good.

Really bad place to eat. Waitress are really horrible and really hard to catch them. I have ordered 15.yum woon sen and it comes with shrimp but they didn't provide. While I ask them they gave only a shrimp ......1 star even a lot for them

DoorDash said our order was ready, so I went to go pick it up. There was some sort of mixup about not seeing our order come in on a separate tablet for DoorDash, but in general they were totally overwhelmed and couldn’t keep up. I waited 50 minutes in the restaurant for our order. I saw multiple tables waiting on service for a long time. Please don’t take on orders or seat more customers in house if you can’t handle serving them at a basic level. I was really disappointed in the level of service and actions taken to correct the mistake made to our order. Food was decent though. I’m looking forward to giving it another try and hope for much improved service next time.

Ordered no meat tom yum. Had shrimp in that after specifically mentioning to make without one.. They took it back and brought new one but that also had shrimp again... Tom yum taste was not good as well. I have had Thai at multiple places even during rush hour but never faced such problem... Other food did not taste good as well. Also, there were too many take out orders and due to that priority for dine-in customers was low, hence slow service and bad service..

The worst experience ever! This place is just ridiculous. They have us waiting for one hour without food, and I had to ask for water, folk and napkins. I only get my appetizer and a drink in an hour. There were millions of togo order they cooked but they just deprioritize the dine-in. My kid was starving so I left some cash for the appetizer and drink and left.

Extremely unenjoyable! Firstly the decor and lightning is extremely dim and seems as if the restaurant is struggling to pay their electrical bills. I was surprised to see a restaurant use only paper plates. The waitress was really unprofessional. Took no less than 5 minutes to deliver our waters or even take our order. She screamed back to the kitchen while I was actively ordering my meal. Was quite snarky and didn’t exhibit a welcoming attitude. The food was very mediocre and I suspect a lot of their produce was overdue. General kitchen malpractice. Flavors were off and textures of the noodles were inedible hard. They attempted to overcharge the bill by sneaking an “extra noodle fee” of $5. Abysmal food that stains Thai cuisine really.

Waitress is incredibly rude and arrogant. Disrespectful attitude ruined the experience. Waited 10 minutes for waitress just to come and take our order. Paper plates?? What is the big idea? Food is quite problematic. Overpriced for below average grub. The noodles for Pad Thai was undercooked and tasted like a rubber band. The drunken noodle was like a mush and overcooked. Food not good. Avoid and save your money and dining experience.

Avoid this place if you’re hungry or on a schedule. I ordered for pickup via DoorDash, but the kitchen was clearly overwhelmed. They were balancing a packed dining room and a constant stream of delivery orders they couldn't keep up with. They should have paused their tablets, but they just kept taking orders they couldn't fulfill on time. To top it off, the food was just "so-so" and definitely not worth the headache.

Very disappointing experience at Siam Cuisine. We waited about 1.5 hours for our order, over an hour later than the estimated time. The restaurant was clearly overwhelmed — the entire waiting area was packed with people — yet they continued taking new orders. The food was not good. The noodle soup was extremely salty, and the Pad Thai was oddly sour and overly sweet. After such a long wait, we also found that one dessert was missing from our order. Long wait, poor food quality, and an incomplete order.

I ordered a shrimp pineapple fried rice and sticky rice with mango. Disappointing doesn't begin to say it: the fried was so sweet from added sugar (I think there was at-least 2tbsp sugar in it). Zero spices, only soy sauce and I could barely taste that. It was so flavorless - imagine eating pineapple shrimp fried rice with that much sugar and only soy sauce! The sticky rice was overcooked and there was maybe 4-5 spoons of it, that was it. This for 32 dollars. Very disappointed.
