Siam Garden Thai Restaurant in Torbay

We last visited this restaurant 20 years ago when we lived locally so as we were back in Paignton we decided to return with some friends….testament to the restaurant still being open and still being amazing but what was unbelievable was the same waiter was still there!! He said he had worked there for 22 years…not sure if he remembered me but I definitely remembered him because he was brilliant and made our evening very special!!! The food by the way is outstanding 👌👌👌

Fantastic service with food that matched we had a very special experience there, attentive but abstaneos Don’t miss this little treasure Definitely go back

We live locally and this is Paignton’s best Thai restaurant, always delicious never had a bad order in 5+ years. I’d recommend going outside your comfort zone and not getting what you usually do, some really great authentic Thai dishes here that shouldn’t be missed. Lovely food from lovely people.

Really excellent food, thoroughly enjoyed.

Not great, we had 1 starter, 2 mains, 1 rice & 1 noodles. The 4x stuffed chicken wings priced at £8.50, were dry & over done. The sweet & sour had little sauce & the chicken was over cooked. The plain noodles had veg in it not listed on the menu which isnt great. Overall I'm disappointed.

Super food as always and never too expensive..

Exquisite Thai food with delicate flavours. The steamed sea bass is the best I’ve ever had. The decor is lovely too…like a little trip to Thailand.

First time we have been there. The food was great. The service was good, not over intensive. We would definitely go there again when we are in the area.

Absolutely loved my order! The food was not just delicious but perfect in every way. Great job, and I’ll be coming back for more!

What a gem! All the staff are lovely and the manager had a great sense of humour. As for the food well.....we lived in Thailand for 6 years and find it very hard to find a restaurant that comes anywhere near as good as when we where there..This one does!! The price is very reasonable too. Thank you for the great food. kop Kun Kaa we will be back x

We enjoyed our dinner in the Siam Garden on Saturday 31 August. The food and service were good and we were given a warm welcome.

Very nice food at this restaurant, cant complain in this respect. Unfortunately spoilt by owners kids playing loudly on their own in next booth (discussing unpleasant kids things at 100% volume). Spoilt ambience, felt like we were in MacDonalds. When we complained, the owner, sat on seperate table, became defensive, almost agressive. Clearly the customer is not right in this respect. Very unsympathetic, my wife left half way through her main course.

Brilliant as always, happy to adjust to meet needs. Our go to fir takeaways over Chinese or others food is always so fresh to

I've been a couple of times and have stuck to the usual green curry order. This time we tried something different with steamed dim sum (excellent), pork neck (very good and well worth trying) and a lamb massaman curry. The lamb massaman was fantastic. Rich gravy, tender and tasty lamb. The potato in the curry created a rich gravy and the potato tasted great, holding all the flavour from the curry. The service was good. It was pretty quiet in the restaurant (a Tuesday) and only one person serving so with food and drink for a few tables meant a bit of running around. The food came quickly. The restaurant was nice and clean and well decorated with lots of Thai statues. Ambience was a bit quiet... could do with some music or something. But, this is a great restaurant and the food was good enough for me to try something different.

Best Thai food around and excellent service when I called to make and amendment, best chefs around and the food is consistently to a high standard

Fantastic food and lovely staff! The Pad Thai was delicious and the staff were very smiley and attentive. I would highly recommend!

Surprisingly, there weren't many reviews for the Siam Garden which is a shame as it's a bit of a gem. We've got into a habit of rating everything we do lately and we really don't give out good scores lightly, but we ranked this a 9/10. The food was excellent and the flavours and absolute delight. The duck curry sauce was amazing and the garlic rice is the best we have ever had. The staff are very friendly, the restaurant has a 5 rating for hygiene, and the service was excellent - food came remarkably quickly given the fresh ingredients. The Siam Garden is a little tucked away and not particularly well advertised we felt, but well worth seeking out and beautifully decorated inside with good use of mirrors to make it feel more spacious. Thanks for a lovely evening and terrific food.

Over priced and tasteless. Will not be back. Doesn’t taste of Thailand

We went on a week night, a table of 4. Food was excellent. We all had starters & mains. I had thai red curry with garlic rice. Brought what I couldn't eat home, which they packaged up for me. Absolutely delicious. Staff were efficient & helpful. We can't wait to return.

Absolutely fantastic. Amazing service and the food was awesome. Six of us had a mixture of starters, very yum! Main course was plentiful, duck curry was devine. We all had an amazing meal served by a most lovely young lady. Authentic decorated restaurant and a great atmosphere. Very realistic pricing. Thank you Siam Garden.

Absolutely disgusting tonight have ordered before and it’s been great. Tonight £50 and we’re not even going to eat it it’s that bad. Such a shame. Spoken with Siam and there is no offer of money off or another dish such a let down.

Ate here yesterday evening prior to theatre. The food and service were all excellent. We have visited before and can recommend the food highly.

The venue is nicely done out. The food is really tasty. The staff are really friendly and the price wasn’t too bad either.

Absolutely amazing 🤩 so much flavour and so fresh , 5 stars

Very authentic Thai restaurant. Friendly service and top notch food. Highly recommended.

can't beat it, so tasty!! I only get my Thai from here. not overly expensive and amazing quality.

Delicious food again and again, I’ve not ever eaten so much! Thank you Siam Thai Garden. 😋

My partner and I went for a thai food recently in this place. Even if it was Thursday was quite busy. My partner had a salad with duck. I went for Pad Thai with duck. The decorations are authentic Thai and also the staff are Thai. You should try this place. My partner thing is the best Thai in the area. He lived long time in Thailand.

Great food & lively environment

Been getting from this place for years and honestly best thai and people that run it are super friendly too, as someone who can only handle a mild to medium spicy they always take note and tone it down a bit for me with the hotter dishes.

The sticky rice arrived in a microwave bag and was tepid at best and was a very small portion (half a small plastic container, the masaman curry has a very poor flavour and was 50% liquid, the chicken was poor quality, the stirfry was cold...

First time we’ve ordered, following a friend’s recommendation. Food was really tasty and everyone enjoyed it

Distinctly average. Soggy. Overally sweet and no vegetables in my pad Thai essentially just a bowl of overcooked noodles with a few bits of tofu. Not worth the money at all.

Food was amazing; portions were generous and tasted authentic. The staff were very pleasant and efficient. I would definitely go back.

Delicious, the best Thai in Torbay

Top quality food really enjoyed our meal

Food was really nice and tasty great atmosphere and staff were really friendly def recommend

Situated near the theatre on Palace Avenue this is a lovely little restaurant serving delicious Thai food. Quiet out a season but worth booking online or on the phone at holidays and weekends. Friendly polite service, fully stocked bar and great food. On street parking or a pay and display car park is situated just off the other side of the park.

Went last night as a last minute decision and can say it was absolutely gorgeous food, I’ve eaten a lot of Thai food and this was up there with my favourites, Everything was so tasty; and the lady and gentlemen looking after us were lovely. If I come back down to Paignton and will be going back :)

Amazing food, fresh tasting, great portion size, good pricing.

Really good just eat wouldnt use any other. Siam garden thai is fabulous stunning flavours goid authentic and quality food

They were accommodating, the food was delicious, particularly the spicy squid appetiser.

Always delicious excellent service

Excellent food, great price. Wish Thai staff greeted me in Thai

Delicious as usual. Never disappoints

first time ordering from here, I read alot of good reviews. Firstly my Thai green curry was extremely watery and my rice was almost sticky and stuck together like a packet rice both of these not what I’ve experienced before from a Thai, and they arrived cold alongside cold satay skewers. My partner had chicken pad thai which he really enjoyed and was the only hot dish that we had arrive . So overall quite disappointing.

Ordered our takeaway whilst in taxi from airport. Everything worked well and the food was fantastic.

The best place for an excellent Thai meal, never disappointed, brilliant chef and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Absolutely great on everything, loved it 😁

So glad to have tried this, will be our goto Thai from now on, looking forward to dining in soon

Always enjoy food from this restaurant and highly recommend..

Great food, and pleased to let Greg P know there now seems to be plinky plonky ambient music playing. Enjoyed the food and the waitresses were very good.

Been here a few times now the food is great and the ladies working there were very attentive

Always head for this delightful establishment every year when I'm visiting family. Traditional decor. Excellent service. Sublime food.

After a day on the steam train and river cruise we went back to Paignton for food. . This is a great place a 5-10 min walk from the pier. Great food and atmosphere.

Wasn't expecting such a good meal at a Thai Restaurant in Paignton. The pork neck and the duck in tamarind sauce were excellent.

Nr. 31 Seafood Salat. The most elegant dressing I've ever had.

The satay chicken was the driest thing I've ever attempted to eat. The fishcakes were just greasy at best. Pad rail was good though

The sauce was really tasty, however the beef was really chewy and the chicken didn’t taste right, so we didn’t eat any of the meat.

The worst Thai steak salad I’ve ever had. Gristle throughout, tough and chewy. Will not buy from here again.

Really lovely food, friendly staff. Perfect for pre-show meal.

Excellent service and excellent food

This is our go to restaurant when visiting the Palace Theatre .Lovely food ,attentive & friendly staff.Service is fantastic

Opening hours 11pm - rubbish!!! We turned up last night (16th June ‘23) @ 9.30pm and were told “we’re closed, takeaway only”. The place was empty. You would think that with reduced tourism and an empty restaurant they would have welcomed us in. Never again !!

Absolutely scrumptious. Everything we had from the starters to the mains was lovely and each dish tasted authentic and fresh not from a packet or frozen. Thank you

Best takeaway we have had for sometime 😋

Great food, fresh and tasty, delivered quickly especially for a Friday night. Will definitely order from here again.

Best Thai restaurant in the whole of Torbay and Teignbridge by miles. In fact it’s one of the best restaurants around here . The best thing is it’s a hidden gem also. The food is incredible absolutely 10/10 . Staff are very friendly and accommodating.amazing

First time used Just Eat and Siam Garden - great food delivered hot and ahead of time. Will definitely do it again

Just moved to Paignton. Ordered take away from Siam Garden for the first time. The food was excellent and the gentleman who took payment (owner) was really friendly and attentive.

Always a good meal and happy to accommodate some dishes to make less spice. Duck salad is always fresh and best dumpling

Great service and food, friendly staff, I would highly recommend.

Best Thai out there!!! Insane food!! Great service and delivery 😊

Delicious food. Not a long wait for delivery. Have used before, definitely will use again!

Excellent food and service would recommend to anyone that loves Thai food.

WHOEVER CREATED U, BLESS U, BCS U ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN COOK WELL IN PAIGNTON

Curries and rice were great, ordered 4 starters, all of which were very disappointing. Chicken was supposed to be boneless, but was boned. Prawns were over cooked with no flavour, not as described, and Thai fish cakes were inedible completely rubbery, the texture was disgusting.

Absolutely love this food. Always great food and excellent delivery! Thank you 🙏🏼

First time ordering from here, great service and even better food. Would definitely order again & recommend!

Great food and friendly staff. We have promised to go back again soon, and we will!

Excellent food delivered to our campervan. Very happy with quality & flavour. Will use again next time we're in the area.

Amazing food, quick delivery. Always a great meal 👏

Stunning place with beautiful authentic food, lovely portions cooked to perfection. Such lovely people and they create a great experience. 5 Star all the way ❤️

The most authentic Thai food I have found in the UK!

Great food however on this occasion one dish was not very warm and the other was extremely spicy and think a warning would have been good! All tasty but a little hot or cold!

Food was lovely however it was really odd as there was no music it was deadly quiet. We felt awkward because there was only 1 other couple in there and we had to whisper because they could hear us. Background music would give it some ambience and make for a more relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Smooth ordering and delivery - food very tasty, would definitely order again.

The food is always great and loved by the whole family. My husband is Thai and a harsh critic when it comes to buying Thai food, but he loves it!

Good tasty food, great service and friendly staff. Curry and stir-fry recommended but lot's of choice.

Sticky rice - microwaved so stuck together more than it should be & not properly cooked Chicken - really tough & chewy & off coloured, fatty bits. The red sauce was really runny & the veggies inside were or a poor quality. Fish cakes - really tough & chewy

Excellent meal for my birthday treat! I picked this restaurant, despite others being closer to me, because they had green papaya salad on the menu. It did not disappoint! The food was beautifully prepared, fresh and delicious. The best Thai I've had since moving to Devon. Highly recommend and know we'll be back again soon!

Lovely food and prompt delivery. Would go back again!

Really good as always, thanks

Fantastic quality and super tasty

The food is below the standard of quality of other Thai restaurants in Paignton. In particular the starters and Pad Thai was of poor quality.

Lovely atmosphere, amazing food and attentive staff.

Amazing food, fresh tastes, good portions, will definitely use again.

Pork dumpling starter was great, special fried chicken rice was really good, loads of chicken and nive and spicy, masaman curry really good flavour and just as expected, will order again

Lovely food. Hot - tasty and fresh

Gorgeous food - highly recommend!
