I ordered drunken noodles for delivery and one thing I appreciated so much was that it included not only a spring roll but also crab Rangoon! Typically I am left wishing I could replace the spring roll with a crab Rangoon (which most places do not do), but here I did not have that struggle. I also enjoyed how the food was still hot when it arrived. The noodles were consistent throughout. There have been times where l've ordered drunken noodles from other places and some parts are white since the sauce did not reach them. The texture was perfect; soft (like rice cakes) but not falling apart. The taste was really good, and it was not too spicy so you were able to capture all the different flavors including basil leaves, protein, and veggies. And speaking of veggies, they all tasted fresh and there was a good amount of them. The shrimp was a good size and cooked well, and the chicken was thinly sliced but not dry. The spring roll was crispy and the filling was tasty. The crab Rangoon was a bit different than traditional crab rangoons in that the filling had a curry hint to it and it was yellow-ish rather than white.

If you're looking for affordable, tasty, thai food, and fun this is the place to go! Every dish was flavorful and filling I especially liked the satay and the peanut sauce to dip. The Siam fried rice was everything I needed: lil bit of seafood, meat, vegetables and the tom yum soup was comforting. I loved the thai tea but they have so many interesting and fun drinks I definitely want to come back here and try them with friends

Great place, we went late afternoon and the place was mostly empty. They had a special lychee beer which was amazing. The chicken satay was cooked to perfection and the drunken noodles were perfect.

Decent food and great service. We showed up mid-afternoon and there was no one there except us. We were greeted by a friendly waiter who showed us where to sit. In terms of the food, the Pad Thai was decent, although I would have preferred more chicken. The prices were standard for Thai food and the area. Overall, would go back!

I came here with my parents on a day when the restaurant we’d planned to go to didn’t work out; we saw Siam Ginger on the walk back to our car and decided to stop in. So glad we did!!We got there right as the restaurant was opening for the day so we were the only ones inside during our visit. Our waiter was very friendly and accommodating. Our food came out quickly and the waitstaff was attentive throughout our meal.The food was also incredible! I had the pineapple fried rice, my mom had tom yum soup, and my dad had a curry (can’t remember which kind). We all loved our food and agreed that they were the best rendition of these dishes that we’d ever tried.The food was exceptionally flavorful and fresh-tasting. I’ve been thinking about the pineapple fried rice I had for months since my visit, it was that good ?. Also, my mom, who has ordered tom yum soup at dozens of restaurants over the years, said the soup at Siam Ginger was her all-time favorite because of its complexly-flavored and rich broth! My Thai iced tea was tasty as well.Overall, I had a great experience at Siam Ginger and cannot recommend their food enough! The affordable prices certainly don’t hurt either ?. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!!
I had only been once before and picked Siam Ginger out as a place to go to for Valentine's Dinner with my boyfriend. They made the occasion extra special with balloons, roses, free dessert and love songs. I appreciated the extra touches and was happy to see they offer cocktails now too. Their food is yummy and not too expensive - it was nice to reserve on open table for the holiday but I don't think they get too crowded anyway. I think it's a hidden gem in Union Square and I hope to return here more often!

Fun, no frills Thai place with a huge menu. Service was great and the drinks and dessert were delicious. Would recommend the mango fried rice, chicken Kra Pow, Crab rangoons (unique curry flavor in the filling), and the Tim Pang Cha Thai dessert. Very affordable too.

Phenomenal experience. The Khao Soi is spectacular. Full, deep, rich flavors. Great portion size. Friendly, humble staff and just an overall chill homey vibe. Pure magic.
My go to thai food in Somerville. Great crab rangoons and fried rice with a super cool staff.

Ate so often here at this place and loved it. Today i ordered a couple of soups and one of my soups was filled with sugar and extremely sweet. We had to throw it out entirely. Called the restaurant and she laughed it off saying thats how we prepare it which is not true. I've had this soup over so many years. Save ur money and go elsewhere

This review is about takeout orders. Between 2019 to mid 2022 they would've been 4 stars. When we moved to the area in 2019, Siam Ginger was our go-to for my thai cravings. I've never dined in, I usually do pickup orders since I live within walking distance. Their pad thai is our most frequently ordered item, other than that we get their spring rolls, crab rangoons, pineapple/ mango / somerville fried rice, the curries, drunken noodles, chicken noodle soup and wonton soup. I understand that the pandemic affected a lot of businesses to increase prices although during this time it peeved me to collect a new takeout menu to order from them later that same week to get a total that is more than what's calculated from the menu I got (and yes I factored in the tax). You can say that's a personal issue, but I collected another takeout menu upon pick up of my order and the prices were the same as my previous menu from earlier that week, why have them on display if they don't reflect your current prices?? So I started ordering online because the prices reflected were kept up-to-date. This was going fine till it became a REQUIREMENT to tip before you can check out an online order for pick up. Why am I tipping before I even get to experience anything? I haven't communicated with a person yet, which 8/10 times they're not very friendly when you go to pick up your order. I haven't seen nor tasted the food that I have ordered yet to know if it is up to par with the standards they've set for me because there have been times were the food isn't up to par but I'll try them again soon after and there back up to par. Anyways, let me not get into my views on the entitled tipping culture in this country.. I had taken a break from them for a few months and fast forward to March 2023 I decided to order a pad thai one day because I was craving it. When I took the container of pad thai out the bag I was confused if the container was always this size, it seemed a bit smaller than usual. I keep a collection of take out containers as extra tupperware which most are collected from Siam Ginger. So for comparison I took out one of the containers from a past order and they were not the same size.. So not only has the prices gone up, they've reduced size of the containers thus reducing the serving sizes!!! I used to be able to get 3 servings out of their pad thai, now it's about 1.25 servings (for myself only). Now we're in Jan 2024, with the last order being in March. My husband felt for a wonton soup and got it from here. It costed $7.50 with tax for it, understandable that it cost more now than it did the last time we ordered a wonton soup BUT they've reduced the container size for that as well!! It used to be an 18oz container which is filled to about 14-15oz line. Last night he received a 16oz container and it was only filled barely the 10oz line !! I'm surprised the wonton count was still 3 instead of 2, I wouldn't be surprised if those were smaller pieces than before! I should have taken a photo of it. If the food remained the same quantity and the prices went up I'd be very understanding but to increase the prices and reduce the serving size is absolutely upsetting, it's dishonourable!

Absolutely loved Siam Ginger!! It gets pretty busy in here but it's for a good reason. The interior is awesome with cool graffiti from local artists. The food was unreal with delicious flavors and spices. Can't wait to come back or do takeout.
