Siam Village Thai - Portland, Oregon

Cute hole-in-the-wall feeling spot, though it’s in a plaza. The service was stellar and the space was tidy. If you like spicy, ask for chilis on the side (they didn’t necessarily believe I wanted “Thai spicy,” and I get that). The papaya salad was the STAR of the show 100%, fresh, crunchy, and memorable - the peanuts are dry roasted and I absolutely appreciate that. Tom Kha tofu was good and so were the dancing string beans with chicken. The Pad Thai tofu could have been more flavorful but it was fairly standard. I had the jasmine tea (5/5) and my friend had the Singha - the head on the beer was thick but the price was fine. Would absolutely come here again for everything but the Pad Thai.

First time here and I’m happy I found this gem. Cute inside decor, loved the prompt food and great attentive service. Quality of food is great and price is fair . eggplant dish is super yummy and will come back for just that alone ! Sticky mango rice was also super good👍

We started with Thai Ice Tea, and crab puffs which were delectable. For our entree we had the angel eggplant with scallops and rice plus the drunken noodles with chicken. Everything was well seasoned, hot and prepared well.

We love this restaurant, definitely worth a visit!

We just moved into the neighborhood and were so hopeful for this to be our go-to Thai spot with all the good reviews we saw online, but unfortunately, we will not be coming back here.

I want to start off by saying the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and the staff was friendly. We were excited (and hopeful) for an authentic Thai restaurant.

Food:
Rice was not included with any of the entrees, including curry, which was a bit odd. The portions were fairly large, which justified the prices.

We ordered the papaya salad, Tom Yum noodle soup, basil fried rice, and crispy honey chicken with a side of sticky rice.

When we got our papaya salad, it was very refreshing but there was absolutely no spice, which again was odd. None of us have had a papaya salad without a little bit of spice, so that had us a bit worried about how the rest of our meal would go.
Tom Yum noodle soup should be a staple of any Thai restaurant and it was more sweet than sour and there was NO spice to it as well. It was nothing to fave about and again, I was super disappointed with my soup.

The basil fried rice had barely any flavor and we had to ask for spices to make the dishes more flavorful.

My husband enjoyed his crispy honey chicken, but his sticky rice came out in a heated zip-lock bag and it was INEDIBLE. When he took the rice out of the ziplock bag, the rice came out as a brick and you couldn’t stick your fork into it to break apart to eat. The brick of sticky rice deterred us from wanting to order dessert, which is unusual for my family at a Thai restaurant. We love our mango sticky rice, but we were not going to try it here given the dinner experience.

I was extremely disappointed in the food they served here. We have grown up eating Thai food all around the country and in Thailand, and I have never had Thai food that didn’t have spice and flavor, and not being asked the spice level for each dish.

Would not recommend if you know good, authentic Thai food.

Incredible, prompt and friendly service! Food is delicious! Our group was there to celebrate a birthday. We were so distracted by how wonderful every item was that we forgot to take photos until the generous mango sticky rice arrived.
We ordered crab cream puff, salad rolls, tom kah, red curry, and pad kee-mao. Thai iced coffee and Thai iced tea were also tasty. All dishes presented quickly after we ordered. It is so refreshing to receive such consistent, good service. We will be back! Thank you!

The place has a fantastic vibe with great interiors. The food was good with great taste. The menu pricing is a bit high and note that the side of rice is not included when you order curries.

One thing to mention - rice is not included with any item
A little bit expensive but overall great taste and ambience

I'm so glad I found Siam Village! I'm a huge fan of reviews and always check them before going somewhere new. This place does not disappoint. I had chicken mussaman curry, and it was the best I'd ever had. My family members also ordered curries, and we couldn't believe how much chicken was in the curries! I would definitely recommend Siam Village.
