Siam Square

Food was great. Normal thai. Not many dumplings compares to a Chinese order. Crab Rangoon was yummy, very spicy was just right for my spice craving. They use an outside service for delivery. Overall good stuff, but a bit higher prices than I had before.

Excellent place. Really authentic thai good. Great service.kudos!!! Ambience was great too. Liked the thai volcano in main dishes and fried ice cream.

After having lived in Bangkok for most of 2012, I ate at every Michigan Thai place I could find. This place’s dishes come pretty close to what I experienced in Thailand. It’s next to a cheap motel, yes, in a strip mall-​laden part of town, yes. But the food and service are consistently very good, plus the atmosphere (esp in the booths) is lovely. Try the tom kha gai soup for starters, and end with any dessert involving sticky rice :-)

The food was tasty fresh and good. I tried many thai restaurants and this is not the best. The atmosphere is cool cozy and service was really good. It didn’t take long to have your food served. The food come with good portions and average quality.

Positives:
— the red curry was flavorful and packed with vegetables
— chili sauce/​chili powder readily on hand
— prices were reasonable (we came for dinner).
— I would get the spring rolls again. They were above average, packed with vegetables. The Tom yum was about average.
Opportunity areas:
— Pad Thai: the pad Thai came out colorless and contained no vegetables. I have never seen Pad Thai look like that before. Being a Thai restaurant, I was hoping they would get this part down.
— service: there was only one other table at the restaurant. I had to get up three times to make a different request. But they were really good about getting us the bill quickly.
The place is in a hotel… and ambiance-​wise could use an upgrade. Siam wouldn’t be my first option for Thai, but good enough to satiate the craving.

Really solid place for Thai food. We ordered spring rolls, curry puffs, drunken noodles and green curry. We savored every bite. Only down side is it’s a bit hidden. But that won’t stop us from coming back!

By far the best Thai in the AA/​ypsi area. The staff is helpful and the food is perfection. MUST TRY pad pong karee crab or the salt and pepper calamari. If you’re really into spice, ask for some crushed fresh chile to add to your rice! The lunch specials are also solid choices. Don’t forget to the Tom yum soup and Thai Iced Tea. Don’t let the fact that this restaurant is connected to hotel turn you away! This place is a classic example of don’t judge a book by its cover. Seriously, the food is soooo good and Siam Square is seriously underrated.

Finally found my thai place in michigan. Dont let the hotel fool you this place is incredible! Its a shame I have to drive an hour to get it but its well worth it. Apps were great the place looks great but I know the look isn’t for some but the good from Apps to dessert were great. Exactly what I’ve been looking for since I moved from Kentucky.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Ypsilanti. Once inside the atmosphere is superb, the service is great, and the food always hits the spot and is consistently delicious. I love the Pad Prew-​Wan and the cucumber salad is refreshing and flavorful. They run specials during lunch hours.

I just ordered take out veggie tofu pad Thai here. It has no veggies in it and no flavor at all. The noodles are all stuck together and the tofu’s corners are really hard. I wouldn’t even take this if someone gave it to me for free. Yuck

Very much enjoyed our dinner here. The hotel is in complete shambles by this point; I really didn’t think it was even open anymore. However, Siam Square has a separate entrance and once you’re inside the atmosphere is very enjoyable. I did feel like the whole place needed a good wash down with some hot soapy water and a rag but I have a long history in hospitality and am particular about small details.
I will definitely be going here again and will probably bring friends.

It’s so worth it! Yes, the hotel that the restaurant is in is disgusting but the restaurant is cute and the food has never once disappointed after many visits. Love the curry… all of them!

It’s a really nice Thai restaurant. I love their iced tea, green curry, beef noodle and Tom yum soup! Price is also reasonable.

This food is unfortunately too greasy and small-​portioned (relative to price) to be worth it. The meat quality was lower than average and extremely fatty, even for the less-​than-​exciting east-​Asian food offerings in this area. I’m not sure I’ve been to a Thai restaurant more stingy with vegetables! Alas.

Awesome hole-​in-​the-​wall restaurant. I actually had thought it looked too sketchy and passed it, and then today, a co-​worker recommended this as the best thai. I went and it was GREAT. Do not judge a book by its cover! The server was very attentive and nice, and I asked for *spicy* penang curry. Boy did I get spicy. It was almost too spicy. I LOVED IT. The portion was a little small, but it was lunch time, so pretty inexpensive. I will definitely go back! I have finally found a good thai restaurant.
Update: i have since fried the pad Thai and spicy basil tofu. I think my favorite is the spicy basil tofu!

I’ve been here several times mostly for carry-​out but also to sit down and the food is pretty consistently really good. There have been one or two times when it wasn’t as good as in the past but like I said, more times that not, it definitely hits the spot.
Yes, the location is the not the nicest but once you get past that, the food is just good. I love the lunch specials. They’re a great value for the price. I love that you get a spring roll with dipping sauce, pad thai, and steamed rice. My go-​to is the Spicy Basil Leaves because it’s just that good. Beware of your spice level because it can be so spicy you’ll shed a couple of tears. The green curry is also good. Based on the recommendation of a friend, I tried the Crispy Roast Pork. It was flavorful but also seemed a little fatty so for this reason, I probably wouldn’t order it again.
The last time I went, I had the desserts. The mango sticky rice was good but wasn’t my favorite. I really enjoyed the fried ice cream and the blueberry rolls. Those were delish!
Bottom line: get pass the location and just try the food!

Don’t let the hole in the wall atmosphere scare you off! After seeing that every Thai place in AA had 3 stars we decide to take a chance & were pleasantly surprised. The food and service was great.
After walking in through the shady hotel lobby we were seated in a semi-​enclosed booth. It was roomy, but cozy. The decorations are very ornate, but beware the sound travels fast & loud throughout the restaurant.
Service was extremely quick. We ordered appetizers & drinks and they came within minutes at the same time we ordered our entrees. We had our entrees within 10 minutes. Our server was to be expected, a little quiet but friendly.
The food was delicious. It was definitely on par or above other Thai in the area. We ordered the Siam sampler for our appetizer. It was a variety of fried items, 2 pieces of each. The table favorites were the spring rolls, wontons (filled with chicken), and basic fried shrimp. The tofu piece lacked flavor and the sauce was fine but nothing out of this world.
For our entrees we ordered chicken Pad Thai and the chicken Pad Mee Sua. Both were medium plus, but honestly we could have ordered the hot as it wasn’t extremely spicy. Both were noodle dishes with egg & bean sprouts. I personally enjoyed the Pad Mee Sua better, but enjoyed both.
The only downside other than the hole in the wall atmosphere (which was actually more my style) was the prices. We had two beers, two entrees and the appetizer sampler which came to $ 50 including a tip. It wasn’t extremely high, but it could have been a dollar or two less per entrée.

As many others have said before me, do not be scared off by this place due to it’s location. Yes, it’s nestled beneath a somewhat shabby hotel off of the ever-​busy Washtenaw/​Carpenter intersection, but it’s worth the trip.
The restaurant’s interior is warm and intimate. There are little closed-​off booths that make for a private-​feeling dining experience. This would be a great date spot.
The service during my frequent trips has been extremely friendly and attentive. Water glasses don’t go unfilled, they box your food for you, and they’re accommodating to any dietary requests.
All of the fried rice dishes are delicious, the pad thai is delectable, and the curries are plated beautifully. I always get shrimp dishes, and the shrimp is always cleaned well and not overcooked or fishy.
I’d recommend passing on the rice paper rolls or «fresh spring rolls» as the menu lists them. They’re all cabbage and carrot with barely any substantial filling, and the peanut sauce they come with is more sugary than peanuty. Everything else is delicious, but this is disappointing as a rice paper roll fiend who has trouble finding them in Michigan!
The thai iced tea is perfect.
Highly recommend this spot for consistently delicious meals!

I’ve been here several times and am a fan of this restaurant! Yes, this place looks sketchy, primarily because you can’t see it (it’s behind a BP (I think) gas station and not to mention, apart of a motel. Also, because the restaurant is somewhat off of a busy street (Washtnaw), if you don’t turn at the light prior to the gas station (heading east), you’re going to have to do a u-​turn, after a couple lights.
Once you find your way to the restaurant entrance (which will be to your right, if your facing the motel), you might experience a little sensory overload with all the décor. They usually have specials on a board up front, so while you’re waiting to be seated, you may want to do a quick scan. The few times I’ve been here with my hubs, we’ve always been seated in the cute but über thin walls, decorative booths.
I like to believe that I’ve been to a fair share of thai restaurants in washtenaw county and some in wayne, and am impressed with a few of the dishes we’ve tried… so to me, this is by far the best I’ve been to. My favorite thai dish has always been the minced chicken with bell peppers and basil and realized a lot of thai places do not carry it in Michigan. The serving size is about two people, if you don’t order anything else, but have to admit, it’s not that great when it’s reheated.
Another favorite is the Thai Volcano (shrimp). The shrimps are pretty big and coated with a flour mix, that is crunchy and delicious with the sauce that comes with the dish. Only down side is they don’t give you many pieces maybe 6 – 7?
We’ve also tried the Kareen (sp?), which taste just like a samosa, that comes with a sweet sauce. I would say the only difference is that the outer part is a wonton, so there is more crunch around the edges. It was slightly greasy, but we probably would order it again. We also ordered the crunchy pork belly with veggies dish. It was a little too chewy for me and noticed my jaw getting a work out from the pieces (which are pretty big pieces). I probably wouldn’t get that dish again, just because it was very jerky like and rough.
Every time we’ve come, it’s always been really quiet and empty, but I’m really glad they’re still in business!

Stopped by Siam Square with my sister and my nephews for lunch… they are hidden inside a hotel by Washtenaw Ave… ignore the hotel as you might have second thoughts about going to the restaurant, but once you enter, you are transported to a different place.
We got seated and reviewed the menu… first things to order was fresh spring rolls… we went with pad thai with shrimp, peanut chicken, and couple of other dishes that I cannot remember…
The spring roll was okay… but my favorite dish there was the pad thai… their pad thai is made with tomato sauce; unlike the other places where they made it white. I don’t know what it is, but I just love the pad thai with tomato sauce.
The service was good. I give 3.5 stars for my overall experience here. Hope to return soon.
