Reviews
We came to The Old Siam Thai Restaurant with high expectations. San Francisco is a city that often excels in Asian cuisine, particularly South and Southeast Asian fare, and the restaurant’s venerable name suggested a place of tradition and authenticity. Unfortunately, our hopes were dashed once we encountered the reality.
The servers were friendly and accommodating, and the kitchen does offer some vegetarian options. However, the dishes bore little resemblance to authentic Thai cuisine—about as far removed as Chinese-American or Italian-American food is from its culinary roots. The flavors were bland, and more concerning, key elements of Thai cooking were missing altogether.
A clear example was the larb salad we ordered. A proper larb must include the distinctive crunch and flavor of toasted rice grains, an essential ingredient in the dish. Here, there were none. What we received was simply a chopped salad wearing the name of a venerable Northern Thai specialty but lacking its defining characteristics.
For what we paid, the experience was underwhelming and far from the authentic Thai meal we had anticipated. San Francisco has many wonderful spots for genuine Thai cuisine—sadly, based on our visit, this was not one of them.
As ordinary consumers, we are not paid or compensated in any way for this review. We hope the restaurant takes this feedback to heart and returns to the traditional flavors its name suggests.
I shared this with my boyfriend and it was just right for me.
We got catfish, it was a bit spicy but not too much. The fish was so good.
