If you’re looking for a spot that combines incredible flavor with genuine hospitality, Mom’s Siam is it. It’s rare to find a place that feels like home, but the owner here makes it happen—they actually recognize me and already have my drink and food order ready before I even sit down. That level of service is hard to find.
The Standout Dishes
Fried Chicken Dumplings: A must-order starter. Perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with flavor.
Khao Soi: Hands down, super good. The balance of spice and creaminess in the curry broth is spot on.
Chicken Pad Thai (Pro Tip): This is a staple for me, but here’s the secret: add pineapples. It adds a sweet, acidic pop that completely sets the dish off and takes the traditional flavors to the next level.
Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, the food and the vibe here never miss.

This was my first time here. The vibe inside is nice and it's well decorated. Ordered from the drink menu and had an awesome drink. Both are meals were great, got the Bangkok Chicken and only stuck with level one of hotness. That was just enough to really enjoy the meal. Probably try 2nd level next time. Portions are big and our appetizer was delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive. I would go back.

Place was closed for a while because the staff went on strike. It re-opened. We ordered delivery tonight (1/17/2026). For the price, $22 + tax & fees, there was not that much food in the entrees. Decent quality, good flavors, but underwhelming for the price. I suppose the staff is now making a living wage! Previous experiences have been good. Always solid food and family friendly. Just not worth it for delivery.

I have enjoyed Mom’s Siam in the past and would call it one of my favorite Thai places in the city- not anymore. I ordered last night for the first time in a while and it was terrible. My husband got the Drunk’n fried rice with duck and he said the duck was extremely fatty. I ordered shrimp pad Thai, spicy and the shrimp was overcooked and rubbery, there didn’t seem to be any added spice to my meal as I requested. My order was missing the crushed peanuts and lime wedge and thankfully I checked my food and was able to get it from the host before leaving. We also ordered the steamed Siam dumplings appetizer and they were extremely dry inside. Given that Mom’s Siam is a bit more expensive than some other places in the city, I was really disappointed in the quality of the food.

The food and portions are very good.
No problem with service either. I was there, for lunch, with my coworkers last week. It was very cold inside. I didn't like that part. Everything else is fine. This is my 2nd time eating here. I'd definitely return.

I got food poisoning for several days from this locations chicken fried rice. I would not recommend coming here to eat under any circumstance. The food quality has gone down significantly.

Great food and great atmosphere. Lots of tasty menu items that can be made to the spice level you prefer. Bulgogi beef is an amazing choice as an appetizer or in bowl form and I'd recommend the Rockfish when available!

Came in late (10 pm) on a Saturday evening after catching a movie. This place was recommended by a co-worker and I’m so glad we decided to stop by. The service was quick and friendly, and the food was literally top notch AND QUICK!! When I tell you it wasn’t even 10 minutes between the time that we ordered to the time it was set before us! The flavor was on point and I LOVED the optional spice levels. The photos don’t give it justice.

I was told 10 minutes after I came in that they were “bagging up my food”, 20 minutes later the same guy tells me they’re “still working on it” then didn’t give me an answer as to how much longer it would take. VERY unprofessional. 10/29
