My wife and I travel to Chicago at least twice a year for business. Star of Siam is one of the few restaurants we will ALWAYS go to, whenever we are in Chicago. The food is superb, the prices are very reasonable. Currently we have sampled about 2/3 of their entire menu, and we have yet to find a dish... more

Can't fault anything about the place. Nice feel to it. Food was excellent. Wine was nice. Service was faultless and it's pretty reasonable too. more

Their potstickers are the best I have ever had and the Pad Thai is very good too! I was sold when I tried their dishes at the Taste of Chicago. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere as well. more

Decent Thai food for a very reasonable price. I have only been here once, so I haven't had the chance to sample much on the menu. Next time I'm in Chicago, I'll make my way back here. more

The food here is amazing ... everytime we have Thai food now, we compare it to Star of Siam, and it always comes up short. The service is excellent, and the prices are terrific, esp. for downtown Chicago. Try the curries and the noodles - yum! more

After being served the food we were not approached by anyone from the staff to ask if everything was okay or if anything was needed. At the end of the meal we... more

Thai restaurants come and go but the Star of Siam should be considered somewhat of a Chicago institution. It's atmospheric, centrally-located downtown, fast and good. Not haute cuisine but great casual Friday stop before going to a play or whatever downtown. I used to go there all the time when I lived downtown 20 years ago and it's heartening to... more

The service at Star of Siam was excellent, very attentive and friendly staff. It was my little family and I going out for a dinner, I always worry about how the staff and other patrons react to a 4 month old. Minutes after we sat, I felt very comfortable there. now, on with the food.... For appetizers, I had the... more

We saw this place while waiting for the trolley to Navy Pier. We decided to eat there later that night. We had the Spring Rolls with plum sauce for starters, and then enjoyed the chicken Pad Kra Prao and chicken Panang. The Chicken Pad Kra Prao was excellent, having eaten Thai food from East Coast to the West Coast including... more
