Siam Thai. Restaurant in Braintree

Excellent food. And the right amount. Would highly recommend. I had the Baisl and chill with chicken good and spicy just as it should be. We have been to Thailand 16 times. This is just what we would get in Thailand.

We heard the restaurant had reopened under new management and were really excited to visit and we were not disappointed! The food was incredible, the service was excellent. So happy to have a brilliant thai in Braintree! Would highly recommend!

Ordered a takeaway for collection and was very disappointed when I opened it to find there was hardly any chicken. Ordered satay chicken, coconut rice and a Thai red chicken curry. It was tasty but for £18 I got 5 small bits of chicken. I rang to complain, they took my phone number and got told they’d ring me back but I never got a call. Very disappointing for my first Thai takeaway.

Ordered over the phone spoke and was told 45 minutes. Called to the restaurant waited another 30 minutes to find they hasn’t even started cooking without even an apology. Other also complaining of the same treatment.

First visit for four of us to this very busy restaurant, which lived up to the recommendations from our local friends. Very warm welcome on arrival and attentive service thereafter. Our collective choice of dishes covered a wide range of tastes and with one exception were all stir fry. The standard of food was excellent and we will definitely revisit the restaurant when were are in Braintree next. The one thing I would add is that booking is a must at weekends.

Braintree’s hidden gem - tasty authentic Thai food with friendly quick service. We had the soup, pad Thai and red curry all very good. We will definitely be back.

I used to live the food here but tonight it all felt like someone had left it on their plate and it had been reheated. Bland satay, anaemic ribs, toast and sesame but no prawns… I won’t go on. I hope it was just an off day for them but £70 I’m not going back. What a shame but they’re lovely people and I wish them well.

The food was amazing and reasonably priced. All food was piping hot and so tasty. The service was fantastic and the restaurant is ran by lovely people. We will definitely be back very soon and recommending to all we know! Thank you!!

Have missed this lovely little restaurant , Had a lovely evening, Food excellent as always, Can't wait to vist again some time soon

We ordered a takeaway - there was a 30min wait for food which was probably because they were dealing with so many pre-ordered takeaway orders as the restaurant wasn’t busy, but we popped to sainsburys and did some food shopping to kill time! The mixed platter of starters were good value with nice choice of dipping sauces. the steak in the weeping tiger was nicely cooked, and large tail on prawns in the prawn phad thai. However, the PT sauce was browner and sweeter than i have had in other places (uk and thailand), more like a gravy, and it came with a lemon wedge rather than lime, and overall i was a bit disappointed with it. The crackers were free but were white chinese style rather than the denser (more golden) thai ones. Overall worth another try but skipping the phad thai!

Small restaurant, always welcomed with a smiling face. The food is fantastic in the restaurant (never done take away) and never had a bad meal will keep returning.

We stumbled upon Siam Thai whilst walking through Braintree looking for somewhere to have dinner. The restaurant is tiny but welcoming and had a very authentic Thai atmosphere. When we sat at our table it became apparent that everyone else in there appeared to be regular customers. The service was brilliant, attentive but not over powering. The food was divine, a perfect match of flavours and the portions were exactly the right size. I can't wait to eat there again.

Really nice and friendly service and good portions of food made our visit very good. Some of the specials were not available but other than that I would say this has exactly what you want if you want Thai food.

Lovely food and good service. Would recommend. The dim sum starter was really nice. Pad Thai and Masan curry were also cooked to perfection. Service was also 10/10.

booked table with no problem. very friendly service and food was excellent, we had shared platter for starters, sea bass and garlic prawns. Then topped off with tiger beer.

I have ordered from this restaurant in the past (in 2016 so may have changed hands) and had received good food. On this occasion when my wife went to eat her chicken curry the chicken was covered in fat, it made her feel really ill and she couldn't finish the meal. I rung the restaurant, not for a refund but just to make them aware however the lady on the phone was so incredibly rude to me, she called me a liar and said my wife must have eaten the duck... my wife doesn't eat duck (however their was more duck fat and skin than there was meat so that was awful too!). She was extremely unprofessional and out and out nasty on the phone. Would never ever visit this place ever again.

Served raw chicken with our takeaway. Dangerous and never visiting again. Spoke to restaurant who said they’d tell the chef - surely he should already know!

We’ve eaten in the restaurant on quite a number of occasions. The food was excellent the first couple of times. We have then had several takeaways.The food has gone downhill each time, it’s still “nice” food (despite being cold) but nowhere near what it was. The quality of the produce seems to be the same but the taste and cooking has deteriorated ie tamarind duck, used to be crispy with melt in the mouth meat, it’s now not crispy nor tender and the sauces are quite average . Every takeaway has taken over 2 hours to be delivered, if it’s arrived at all. Unfortunately the owners seem to find an excuse for each poor review which always blames someone else. They’ve been offering take away for a long time now and basically should get their act together. I had home cooked food in the freezer which I could have put in the oven rather than wait 2.5 hours for a cold meal costing £50 for 2 people. We like to support local businesses and should do at a time like this but sadly one too many poor meals and excuses too many.

We've been craving Thai and the closest restaurant to us is Siam Thai and thought we'd order even though there was a couple of negative reviews posted recently. Ordered on Friday and it was absolutely delicious, came fast and was hot.Thank you, we will definitely be returning.

I ordered my New Years Eve food here in the morning and they cancelled my order half way through the day because they had run out of seabass which was a fraction of my order. After phoning up and re-ordering and being dealt with by a rude and incompetent worker, my order was never delivered despite being informed that the driver had left. I am now left to cook my family dinner after preparing for a take away.

We ordered at 5 pm, we called a total of 47 times as they ignored our calls and when we got through we were lied to regarding delivery being on its way at 7pm. In the end we drove to restaurant at 9 pm and food hadn’t even been started.there were several others in the restaurant saying there delivery never arrived but was marked as delivered on just eat. Staff rude and didn’t apologise to anyone once despite over 4 other people in the restaurant also angry and fed up with poor service ! 4 hrs and we had to drive there and ask them where our food was as they failed to deliver or answer phone in 4 hours after hanging up on me but they were happy to take payment and lie. Worse service ever and food is not worth the wait. Thanks for ruining our evening. AVOID this restaurateur is over priced and have the audacity to have a minimum £35 delivery and be the most expensive Asian food in braintree when they can’t even deliver. I’d recommend Masefield over this shambles of a restaurant any day.

Visited yesterday with the 4 of us, thought we'd treat ourselves to a meal after lock down and we were not disappointed. The service was fantastic, everyone was attentive to my dietary requirements and made sure we were satisfied during our visit. The food was lovely, makes me so happy that we have an authentic Thai restaurant within the heart of Braintree. We couldn't go on holiday to Thailand as planned this year but this meal definitely satisfied our cravings.

Ordered a take away from Siam Thai tonight. We had weeping tiger. The steak was perfectly cooked, really tender and juicy. Definitely recommend.

Placed a simple delivery order at 7pm. Was due around 8pm. 8.30pm nothing. Called to check and was told was on its way and was last order!!. Still hadn't arrived 8.45pm. Called again, had phone put down on us and called to hear food was on way...!!! Arrived and was cold, waste of £35!! Avoid!

ordered a takeaway mixed platter starter 6.25 per person consisted of 1 s/toast 1 s/roll chicken satay 1thia f/cake and 1 tempura prawn worst to come ordered this green chicken curry for my wife mainly mixed peppers 4 tiny pieces of chicken for myself I ordered weeping tiger chargrilled sirloin beef that was really tough I have had this dish in a sit-down and it was perfect clearly not to bothered what they send out on take away total cost was 49 pounds totally wasted

If just two or maybe four brilliant, food tasty and good value, however we have used it for parties of up to twelve and they cannot cope, kitchen is too small, food comes out spasmodically, some are finished before others get the main course, sadly just cannot cope with large parties, if just two of you its great but don't let that fool you into taking others, you will be disappointed. Based on around 6/7 visits with others.

Decided to visit the local Thai restaurant to sample the food and to make the most of the Eat Out scheme. Had issues getting the table booked as the owner was demanding a deposit but didn’t want that to dissuade me!! Our booking was for 6pm and were warmly greeted to a quaint little place with 2 other people in the restaurant. Starters and drinks were ordered and arrived within 30 mins. These were a mixed bag with nice fishcakes, shop bought prawns (same ones as Tokyo Sizzle, see review) undercooked sweet corn fritters and over cooked squid. However we waited an hour before our main dishes arrived. These were 3 pad Thai, Tamarind Duck and seabass Choo Chee. The pad Thai were bland and dry with no hint of sauce. The seabass was ok although the accompanying sauce was good with a nice hint of heat. However the Duck Tamarind was missed and not received which for me is a cardinal sin! Was offered to have it cooked but considering it had taken so long for some noodles and fish I declined. After two hours we requested the bill which included the side dish for the duck and a 10% service charge without the deposit removed. Poor service and poor food, if you’re looking for a genuine Thai experience would recommend visiting Lek’s in Chelmsford market!!

Recently moved to the area, and can honestly say it’s the best food I’ve eaten out in a lonnnggg time. It really was a fantastic surprise to find such amazing food on our door step! We’ve booked to come back next week already. Couldn’t recommend the amazing staff and food enough!! I would give it more than 5* if I could

We’re new (ish) to the area and slowly going around trying different places. Booked this place as we enjoy Thai food and from the reviews had quite high expectations; well, we most definitely were not disappointed. Tiny, unassuming restaurant but well laid out to comply with the social distancing rules at the moment, the food was incredibly fresh and tasty and even the meat and veg had the taste of the marinade rather than just wallowing in the sauce. Really was blown away by this place and couldn’t recommend it enough, the Thai basil chicken was a particular favourite. So good that we’ve booked to go back next week with family! Great little find with this one and a real breath of fresh air after some poor Thai meals elsewhere.

Had a meal last week, to say it was good was an understatement. Best Thai food I have ever eaten, really tasty and the biggest tiger prawns I have ever seen. I took a work collegue whos wife is from Thailand and he said it was the best Thai food he had eaten outside of the country. High praise indeed. Will be back with my family.

Party of six for a Friday Evening treat. Everyone was delighted with the food and the service. We all had plenty to eat and the range of dishes gave everyone just what they wanted. Only drawback; Like so many modern eateries there is a marked absence of soft furnishings/curtains/carpets, so nothing to soak up the noise. Perhaps it's usually not a problem, but three men on the next table spent all evening trying to outdo each other. Sounded like builders, certainly made more noise then a JCB.

I ordered take away and I also ate in. Staff was super thoughtful without being too much and food was delicious every time! My fav place while in G Dunmow for sure.

Living in Braintree for 3 years now and so many times passed by the restaurant, we had such high hopes. Wife's b day and day off we went for lunch on a tuesday. we opened the restaurant and there was nobody else while we were there. the misses was a bit cold... the lunch menu was very limited, especially after reading so many cool reviews about so many different courses. the starters were really disappointing but the mains were actually pretty good, very generous portions and fresh. service was fine and price was ok too. definitely we need to try having dinner...

This was one of the best Thai meals I have had in the uk and now they deliver :) excellent service and the quality of food was exceptional.

First time visit with friends and will definitely be back, food was fresh and very tasty and there’s an excellent choice on offer. Reasonably priced for both food and drink.

Late lunch here nearing their closing time , we were immediately told no problem . Food was terrific and the service was great .Nice choice on the menu .Yes it’s small and perhaps a little basic regards furnishing but it’s well worth a try .Well done the staff , great lunch and we will be back .

Friendly staff slotted us in to the tiny restaurant and were attentive and helpful. The food was miles ahead of any other thai I have had in the uk very authentic. All freshly cooked so it isnt fast food but you get good food

After a torrid 30 wait at the white hart a stones throw away. Me and my partner rolled the dice on this small and unassuming thai place last minute. We were seated right away even though it was busy and bustling (like the streets of Chang Mai in late July) close tables as expected from an authentic Thai place. Tempura prawns, Homemade spring rolls and salt/pepper squid get things going and the taste rollercoaster was only just getting started. Each twist and turn of the spice infused delights truly grace the palate. Friendly staff who made you feel welcome, more as though a distant cousin has come to stay than a customer.The entrees had minds of their own, a plethora of intoxicating smells and sounds as the bubbling sauces entered the room. The slow roasted lamb massuman curry was perfectly balanced. The standout superstar however was the Tamarind Duck. This needs a second...Ok.Wow. I wanted to reverse time to experience it again however upon research, h.g wells didnt actually invent a time machine but wrote a book about what would happen I'd it did. Regardless, the duck was delightful.As a person who has spent over 4 weeks in thai land I know authentic thai food and this is it. (Probably doesn't Bush up to old chelmo Olga below but she's on a larry) Defo a go, so why not hop on your tuc-tuc from a few drinks down the old town road and have a fairly priced thai meal. Wine - Chilean Savinoun BlancPeace and loveWord to your tastebudsIt's got Chang Mai Vote

Ate here one lunchtime with husband. Lunchtime menu there wasn’t much choice but what we chose was very good so we decided to return to try the evening menu. Once again had a very good meal.

Really enjoyed the meal, fresh well cooked, full of flavour and tasted great, can’t wait to go again.

Overpriced awful food. Taste was awful and prawns and chicken both overcooked and rubbery. No one liked the food and will never use again

Myself and a couple of work friends had a delicious meal here! Menu variety a bit limited but gorgeous food! Will b back for sure

I have never fallen victim to service like this! Ordered food over the phone, One half of the meal was fine the other (Thai green curry and fish cakes) were revolting! Cold, watery and too much flavouring! About to eat 1/4 before feeling sick! Phoned restaurant and reported it, manageress on the phone - useless, rude, argumentative! Sent driver back to “collect, return for her to look” that’s what she said so I put back in containers, put in a bag and got ready, 25 minutes later arrived to collect. Driver clearly being fed what to say “my manager said you can have £5 and that’s it” WHAT THE HELL! Customer is always right! Clearly not with this restaurant! To save arguing I took the £5 and left it. I then went out to the chip shop as my meal from this restaurant from vile! On returning I noticed a carrier bag on our garden with our “returned” meal inside! The driver had decided to throw it on our garden instead of returning it as requested! When I phoned the restaurant again the manageress once again begun shouting! Talking over me and not letting me speak! I ended up hanging on her! I have never been so disgusted! How dare this restaurant think they don’t need to treat people fairly and take their money! I will be telling as many people as I can about this restaurant and hope to hear of its closing in the near future! Enjoy taking people’s money unfairly, KARMA will get you one day!

We booked a table for 4 at 9 pm when we arrived they told us another 45 minutes and they had our number and would call us this never happened so we question there reliability we went to dynasty instead which was better food any way

I come most weeks with my elderly mother who uses a wheelchair. It is my mother's favourite place to eat. The staff are always very helpful in arranging the seating for us. The food is delicious and the chefs chop my mother's order extra finely to make it easier for her to manage. All the staff are friendly and make us feel very welcome.

We have eaten in the restaurant (about a year ago) and found it a bit cramped. Was also a little off putting on my birthday meal when the couple next to us starting have a row...felt like the third wheel as we were so close I didn’t know where to look.

We tried to order through just eat after ordering a few times from here before, the order had been declined, we then called the restaurant directly to be told it was an error and to text our order over and they would process it it wasn’t a problem. After an hour we text the lady back to see how long our food would be and she totally denied any knowledge of the order! (despite having text messages accepting it) to be told that the delivery driver didn’t know where we were and they therefore couldn’t deliver our order after all!!! Yes have ordered THREE times before !!! Absolute joke !! Nearly 10pm and no food !! Thanks very much for absolutely nothing - needless to say we won’t be coming back again !! Also I suggest you brush up on your customer service and don’t call your clients liars !!! And get a delivery driver who is capable of driving 2.2 miles!!

We have been here a few times, today our anniversary, and every time the food tastes so great and fresh! The service is second to none and all for great value, thanks for having us, Phil and Angela Draper

The restaurant is small and not particularly inviting from the outside. Table legs are spaced to close together preventing the chairs from fitting under the table. One larger table was OK for us my wife being in a wheelchair. We had to raise the table with our trusty wooden blocks that we have handy for any restaurant where the tables are too low for a wheelchair user to sit at comfortably. It was a windy day and the door kept blowing open a little. This was fixed with a wedge, which made it difficult for the next customers to get in! Service was fine, staff friendly and the food was very good.

So disappointed with my takeaway!

Our first visit to this homely restaurant. We really enjoyed the food. The dim sums were amazing & the staff very kindly changed the wine for me as I found it too sweet. We would definitely recommend & visit again. Thank you.

Ordered delivery, was supposed to arrive in 7.50, arrived at 8.40 and food was totally ruined. I called on a number of occassions to ask where it was to be told its on its way and then they hung up. When I tried to complain they said I have customers to deal with and hung up. When the food arrived the meat was tough like leather and the fish was so dry. It was freezing cold and dry - stuck in throat. All ended up in the bin - the bit my husband did eat gave him bad stomach. Food in transit for 50 minutes. I live 4 minutes away.

We eat here on a regular basis, always fantastic food, freshly prepared, in our opinion the best Thai restaurant in the area If you haven’t tried this place then you are seriously missing out, Booking advisable

Another great visit to this restaurant, serving freshly cooked tasty food, served nice and hot on warmed plates. Warm and friendly welcome as always with efficient service. Love, love, love the Vegetable Tempura and Prawn Red Thai Curry. Well done guys, keep up the good work !

We had a lovely meal. The Thai green curry was delicious. Soft shell crab was tasty, and pad Thai and special curry nice. Only downside was the lack of heating. I had to keep my coat on during the meal.

I had booked a table for 4 at 19.45. We ordered our drinks (one each)and our food. The food has lovely can’t fault it. Then we wanted to order another drink only to be told we can’t have another drink as other people have booked our table. We hadn’t even been there an hour and we’re still on our main course. So what would have happen if we wanted to order desert would we have been allowed or we had wanted to order a bottle of wine? We left at 9pm. Never have I felt so rushed in a restaurant and not being allowed to order another drinks I will not be returning or recommending

We have been coming to this restaurant for a number of months now and the food is constantly tasty and authentic. Service is friendly and you never feel rushed despite the restaurant only being small.

We love this restaurant we had a takeaway but also have eaten within. Brilliant service and fabulous food.

We have been coming here since it opened a few years ago, after a couple of ownership changes, it still maintains it’s excellent standard of cooking.

First visit to Siam Thai. Made to feel very special. Food superb. Attentive but unobtrusive service. Very much recommend the sharers starter. Very good value for money.

Great first experience with Thai food. Great atmosphere, delicious flavour, and amazing staff. Would recommend to anyone.

Really bad food, unfriendly horrible staff.. Not recommended. Never again... I think this restaurant just getting worst..

This used to be one of our favourite places for lunch. Sadly on this visit the food was not up to scratch with over cooked chicken and over thick sauces with a lack of flavour being the main impression. Really disappointing also was the manager's attitude when we pointed out the discrepancy between prices advertised on the A board outside the restaurant and the price charged inside. This led to a bad tempered reaction from the manager and after a long discussion and a phone call to the owner we got a refund. There are strong competitors for Thai food in the area so having had a cosy lunch spoiled by substandard food and poor customer service I will be voting with my feet.

Met up with friends for a regular catch-up and once again the food, service and welcome was very good. The vegetable tempera is mouth watering, I could eat platefuls of it in one sitting, love the Prawn Red Thai curry too ! This little restaurant does takeaway food too, I haven't tried it yet but I expect it would be good too.

This place is a real gem, with the food tasty and the service friendly. From several visits, as part of a group of all-male friends, double dates and simply with my wife, the food and the atmosphere's high standards have been maintained. There are vegetarian options aplenty—rather than simply having vegetable-heavy plates, tofu is offered as a meat substitute in dishes that are typically for meat-eaters—and the Thai options extend to the drinks menu (the iced tea is just as nice as it is in Thailand).

I took my wife to this lovely little place for our 6th wedding anniversary. We had heard lots of good reviews and it did not disappoint. Freshly made, lovely, tasty food. Great service. We loved it. Highly recommended. 5 stars all the way.

Met up with friends for our regular catch-up here and once again found the welcome, food and service to be excellent. Despite being busy the young man providing the front of house service solely on his own did an excellent job. Food was really good, as usual - full of flavour, presented beautifully, served piping hot on hot plates - mmm perfect ! Thank you

Fabulous food cooked fresh to order Thai food doesn’t get better than this Small restaurant with only a few tables but don’t be put off, the food really is the star Will definitely be back

The best Thai food !! - excellent service, excellent food and nothing too much trouble, always a friendly welcome, eat here regularly highly recommend, if you like Thai food then you will LOVE Siam Thai Jumbo King prawn - Totally Yummy

Another visit to this nice little restaurant and once again the freshly cooked food was delicious, full of flavour, served hot by an efficient friendly waitress. Good selection of veggie and fish dishes on the menu.

A group of us went here midweek, a cosy little place so they happily rearranged the tables for us. Most of our group had the sharing platter with is great value and really fresh and delicious. I had the Jungle curry which was pretty spicy and again great fresh vegetables. Others in the group had Duck with Ginger, sweet and sour chicken, beef panang, noodles in the dark, and green curry. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food and we all said we would go back, oh and it was full so it may be advisable to book.

Me and my husband went to Siam Thai last night for the first time, as seen the place a couple of times when walking past, so thought we would try it last night, quite a small restaurant but the atmosphere inside is lovely, the family who run the restaurant were very attentive, the thai food was lovely all freshly cooked and a great choice, will definitely go back again , had a lovely evening here xxxxxx

Have visited this restaurant many times and it never fails to impress. The food is excellent and of good quality and how it is cooked in that tiny kitchen is amazing! I have sampled many dishes and have enjoyed them all: the curries, the stir fries, the noodles and the prawn, fish, lamb and beef dishes. The service is excellent. The restaurant is small so at busy times booking is essential and in the cold weather can be a little chilly so don't wear a strappy top! Excellent .

Well - as said earlier being thai married and have been visiting Thailand more than 20 times I consider myself qualified as a judge in Thai cusine.

I came here with my family on Valentine's Day. Excellent food and lovely atmosphere! Highly recommended!

Had a lovely meal... Very Nice indeed. It was a little chilly when we arrived. Good menu, service and value for money.

Visited this restaurant last night with friends and as on previous visits the food was so good - vegetable tempura, prawn red Thai curry, weeping tiger, chicken and cashew nut, all served freshly cooked, full of flavour and hot. Despite the restaurant being very busy with a large group we were served quickly by lovely friendly staff. Really like this place, the premises might be small but it's big in every other way - big on flavours, big on quality of ingredients, big on freshness, big on service.

Popped in on a Tuesday night. We were the only ones in the restaurant. It was a little chilly in there.

We loved the food. The menu is not as extensive as some Thai establishments but given the size of the restaurant and kitchen that is understandable. Service was prompt, food was lovely and the restaurant was about half full. The only gripe was a cold draught coming through the seating area about half the time we were there, presumably from a door being opened and closed out the back, but we didn't have the heart to complain since there were 2 heaters on the go!

Fantastic food, had santa special with lovely variety of dishes, all perfect fresh and great tasting. The weeping Tiger and red Thai curry are a must to try. Very good service. A must try.

Met up with friends for a meal and as usual the food was good, cooked fresh, served hot and service reasonably quick considering it was busy. My only gripe with this lovely little restaurant is that diners are not encouraged to linger. Whilst having our coffee and finishing our drinks, the floor was being mopped, front door wide open whilst the bin bags were being taken out, till being cashed up and it was only 9.50pm, closing time is supposedly 11pm. To sum up, food and service good, hospitality not so good.

It may be a small restaurant but it’s big on everything else. Food tasted fantastic and service great. Give it a look

So annoyed that it took me 3 years to come across this little restaurant. Up until now I have had to go to Lek's in Chelmsford market to get the real thing but no longer. We have been here many times both eating in and takeaway. Lunch menu is great value. Service is always great and food in general feels a lot lighter than a chinese and with more flavour

Lovely little restaurant. Happy prompt service. ✔️ Food was very nice. ✔️ Priced well well. ✔️ Just loved it 👍

Another nice evening meeting up with friends at this Thai Restaurant. The food is very good, love the Red Thai Prawn Curry mmmmmm delicious. Mid week the restaurant is not overly busy, staff are friendly, food is very good. My only bit of criticism is that the service is rushed and diners are not encouraged to linger, no offer of desserts or coffee, which I understand if the restaurant is busy and customers are waiting for tables but not when only six diners are in. Nobody wants a restaurant cleaning and closing up around them, unfortunately this has happened a few times. However, the food has always been very good, served nice and hot by friendly staff.

Read all the good reviews about this place so delighted we went on a Friday evening. Walked straight in with no booking on a Friday and we got a table, surprised we sat down. The place was empty which was a surprise, we were early but by the time we left at 8 pm there was still only 1 other couple dining...Strange.... The food was average, Thai food toned down for western palates and meat quality not great. The service was ok and the owner made the effort to speak to us. Overall we were disappointed as I always want places to do well and we have no Thai restaurants in Braintree, I hope this was just a glitch on a Friday night!

Tried this restaurant the first time and was impressed how authentic the food was. Didn’t expect it at all. Will definitely go again.

We had dinner here mid-week. The food was delicious, and extremely fresh. The service was friendly and attentive. This is really good Thai food. Delighted to have found it and will go back again and again.

We had a booking for 6.30pm on sat 23rd September ,we had family over from Ireland and had told them that the food at this restaurant was excellent. On arrival we were shown to our table .We ordered drinks and placed an order for our food, after 25 mins the waitress returned and apologised that our order had been lost which was very frustrating as we had spent a great deal of time trying to order the food in the first place. We then ordered again, with another round of drinks which then turned up a further 10mins later. During this time two different customers had returned to the restaurant with their takeaways as they had been given the wrong orders things were not going well. We waited another 30 mins then only one of our five starters turned up a portion of spare ribs, as you could imagine after waiting an hour we decided to call it a day. We told them that we had decided to leave which they excepted and the only good thing was we were told we didn't have to pay for the drinks but not an ideal start to our planed family night out. The overall atmosphere in the restaurant was of confusion not what you expect when dinning out .Would not go back. We managed to book a nearby restaurant for 9 o'clock which again wasn't ideal when you have a 10 year old in your party .

I will start off by saying the food is good here but it is sadly let down by the non existent service level (unless you are ordering by phone for takeout it would seem).We visited as a family of 5 for my daughters 20th birthday - the order was taken quite quickly but was followed by revisits back to the table to check the order was correct.Starters came - one was wrong which left one of our party to sit patiently whilst we ate only for him to receive his when we had all finished - not a great start .The mains were all good and tasty but we had to ask for cutlery and also had to ask 3 times for more drinks even though the staff seemed to be up in the kitchen area more intent In sorting out takeaway orders.Cutlery could do with being changed too - spoons looked like they had tea stains on them.No one during the whole meal came to ask us if everything was ok aswell which is a let down.Lastly we asked for the bill which came out quickly and whilst the credit card was going through , the lady walked off into the kitchen with the machine and credit card - most concerning.Shame as this restaurant could be a great place.

This small restaurant that does two services...1800 and 2000Hrs is just the epitomy of Thailand.The mixed starter platter was sublime, noting was left apart from the prawn tails and then we had the best part to come......Thai chilli chicken, Green pork curry, Pak choi and steamed rice........Wow, Wow, Wow and more Wow.The whole meal was served in such a pleasant , tasty , happy way.....even the waitresses little girl was helping... so sweet.Credit due to the Kitchen I just wished I could let them know personally, he was so hard working.we would love to return.

I have been to this restaurant a few times now. This evening my daughter and I ordered vegetable tempera, prawn red Thai curry and a vegetable Thai curry jasmine rice and sticky rice. Once again the food was very good, as was the the service. The wine list selection is good at reasonable prices. This is a lovely little restaurant that serves delicious Thai food served by friendly waiting staff.

We visited on 2nd September for an evening meal. The food and service were excellent and I highly recommend the the Panang Curry!My wife and I shared a starting platter, three main courses and rice with a few beers for less than £60, which I though was excellent value for money. It's a very cosy restaurant, so book early to avoid disappointment. I'll definitely be back!

Size matters, some may say. Siam Thai disproves thus. Small but cosy with exceptional, authentic, Thai food. In Thailand you ask for 'mais farang', meaning not western or not foreign. Thus will give you that extra boost of flavours. In Siam Thai, those flavours are always there. Love the restaurant, brilliant staff and, naturally, mouth watering food

So nice to have a great Thai restaurant in Braintree. The staff are so welcoming and the food is excellent.

Date night for my partner and I tonight and what a brilliant choice!We had individual starters although there are some to share and then I had a duck curry with jasmine rice and my partner had jumbo prawns with rice noodles in oyster sauce (See pictures)I haven't been to a Thai restaurant before so had nothing to compare it against but my partner has been to quite a few and said it was the best thai food he's had!We had ice cream for dessert and a bottle of wine to share all for £57 so it's reasonably priced too.The staff ae extremely friendly and eager to please where possible even if it means choosing something different from the menu specifically.The only tiny issue if any is that it is a very small restaurant so you will need to book as it gets very busy even during the week (we went on a Thursday evening) but the owners are looking to expand.They also do take away. All in all a fantastic evening with fantastic food at a reasonable price

Visited with some friends on Wednesday evening. Second time of visiting this restaurant, the food was good - Vegetable Tempura & chilli dip, Prawn Red Thai Curry and Sticky Rice. Friends had Sharing Platter and Weeping Tiger, which came out sizzling on a hot plate and smelt really delicious, they all gave it the thumbs up. Service a little under par, I think they forgot the rice orders, as the rice arrived some time after the mains had been served and my sticky rice was one solid ball of rice. Nice flavours to the food nonetheless.

Booked for a Saturday and the place was packed out. A very social restaurant.... in that tables for two are really tables for four.... separated by a few inches. Chatting to your neighbours is a given.Great fresh food cooked within sight and served by helpful staff.All a bit chaotic which can add to the charm or irritate, depending on your mood.Definitely will go again soon.

Just returned from a great meal with the better half for my birthday. I'll start with the bad/negatives... there aren't any, yes it's a small place the furniture isn't top notch but hang on........ the food is sooooooo good I mean really good much better than the Thai cottage in Witham and the Thai restaurants for dinner in Halstead or Chelmsford.. that now have a license so they sell alcohol rather than BYO like they used to but to be fair the alcohol is well priced and the staff friendly and attentive.... and now the food Wow and wow sooooo good

We reserved a table for 3 people Saturday 6th May 2017. When we arrived at 7.30 we were shown to our table and seated. We then sat for about 5 minutes only then to be told that the manager was not happy that our table had been already reserved. We were told to leave with no apology felt unwelcome!! ..
