Sri Siam

I love Sri Siam when I'm visiting my grandma (she likes it too) in Morton Grove. Here are the reasons why:

Service: The server, Anna is always friendly and courteous. She offers water if you're waiting for a carry out order. She's the server, busser, cashier, order taker, and hostess so be patient people!

Price: Their pricing is in line with other Thai places in the area. But the best deal is the lunch special. You get an appetizer, soup of the day, and an entree from the lunch menu for only $6.95.

Food: Some Thai restaurants try to offer everything under the Thai food gamut and get it wrong. Sri Siam doesn't have the most expansive menu, but I appreciate it that. They know what they're good at making, and that's all they offer. I really like their noodles dishes and curry dishes. For noodles, Pad See Ewe and Pad Woon Sen are my favorites. For curry, I really like their green curry and Panang curry. Also, they offer brown rice as an option which is rare at Thai restaurants. ($1 for upgrade, but I don't mind).

You may ask if I love everything here, why doesn't get 5 stars? Well, being Thai, no one makes better Thai food than my family so I don't ever give out 5 stars to Thai restaurant. Biased, I know! :)

I have been coming here about a year now. The service is great, the girl always knows my order. Very friendly. I love their Panang Curry and Pad woon sen. You definitely should try it!

I would have to say that, although this place looks like a hole in the wall, don't let the looks fool you.  The food here is a tiny bit above average compared to other Thai restaurants in Chicago.  We ordered the lunch specials, which included a soup of the day, an appetizer, and an entree.  I asked if I would be able to substitute another soup other than the vegetable tofu they were serving, but our server said no.  I was even willing to pay for the substitution...
Anyways, I had the vegetable tofu soup, cucumber salad and green curry.  I asked to have the green curry spicy and it was definitely spicy.  It was not as green as you would assume a green curry would be, but the flavors were there.  The cucumber salad tasted like cucumbers... The vegetable tofu soup was a tasty basic soup, but vegetarians should watch out since the broth is made from chicken.  This is not listed on the menu and we would not have been sure if we hadn't asked the server.
My sister ordered the soup, crab rangoons and beef pad thai.  The crab rangoons were pretty good.  I would order the crab rangoons again for sure.  The pad thai was presented nicely but the taste was only average.  It was a little too sweet.
All in all, the food was slightly tastier than the average Thai restaurant, but nothing too special.  Although our server wasn't able to help me substitute the soup with another one, she was friendly and very attentive.  When we were done and were going out the door, all the workers thanked us for coming and bid us farewell...It was a good feeling!  I would come back here to try a few other dishes.
