Service — grand Décor — grand Comfort — very Atmosphere — intimate and great for late night in particular the bar upstairs Food — grand … All was grand. and that’s exactly it. no real wow factor . Himself ordered ribs for starters were lovely. I had the prawn and mango salad which wasn’t great. queer taste from the salad whatever dressing they used. Prawns had a nice flavour but a lot of tail and not much prawn and quite chewy. thai green curry was quite mild. considering its the hottest curry. As «grand» as it was. It was over priced. Your just paying for the area its located in I think. I’ve had same quality for cheaper.

YES! Take me here every night! Love thai food and this place does not disappoint one bit… Great menu options including a fantastic early bird option. Food is generously portioned, well flavoured… Authentic, which I love! If seated by the window, you can look out across the pond at Dundrum Town Centre which has a nice water feature plus at night is light up really well. Otherwise, the dinning area away from the window offer you a really cosy, comfortable area. Staff are very attentive, service has been top notch whenever I visit here. Highly recommended and a place I like to go to when in the area.

So I came here and visited the Candlelight bar and I thought it was a really elegant space with plenty of cozy areas and good mood lighting. Lots of tables to over which to sit and chat and sip some of the creative cocktails. I tried some of the food too, the beef in red wine and ginger prawns both being two very tasty stand out dishes for me.

Very busy place indeed! But I loved it. The place is gorgeous and I was impressed by its decoration and finesse. I was here with a group of girls and we had the best time. The staff were very attentive and made sure all orders arrived at the same time — we were a big group of bout 14 ladies. The food was just amazing. I had vegetable spring rolls for starter and chicken massaman curry as main. Both were very very good and I totally recommend it. I was surprised that they had a nice selection of beers and I ordered a local Thai beer. Not very good actually and expensive(5.80300ml bottle). But the wine list was something to watch for — prices were reasonable. I believe this is a perfect place for a romantic dinner as well S2

I’ve been here a few times and loved it. The venue is gorgeous, the food is absolutely delicious, the service is great. Upstairs they often have a pretty good cover band and some special guests, if they are a little loud. There’s a lovely atmosphere in the place and the staff are really good to try and accommodate you if you don’t have a booking; that said it’s pretty packed at the weekends so definitely try to book in advance. It’s a little expensive but the food is worth it. One of my favourite places to eat in South Dublin.

Want here recently for my girlfriends birthday. And I was blown away by the beauty of the place. Everything was amazing. The service was first class, the food was tasty and the atmosphere was great. There were loads of veggie options with the choice of replacing meat dishes with tofu! Went ventured up to the candlelight bar after our meal and were entertained by a live singer while enjoying a few drinks from the wide range of drinks available on the menu! Most defiantly will be back when our wallets are full again!

Heard a lot about this place so decided to try it out. Lovely staff, great place in a nice location. However, I got the lunch 2 course meal here a few weeks ago, and was kind of disappointed. The my spring rolls and won tons my lunch buddy had were under cooked and had an odd taste to them. I got the green Thai curry for my main course, and I couldn’t finish it. Very strong flavour of lemongrass and too much thick vegetables. Yasmin rice was nice. I ended up swapping meals with aforementioned lunch buddy, a dark garlic and chilli chicken meal. It was better but kind of bland. Overall, I wouldn’t rule going back out but I’m not rushing to return. I would give 3 stars but the likes of Yum Thai in the city centre do better for a third of the price.

It takes a lot for me to say I really enjoyed a Thai Restaurant, but this Restaurant just fits the bill ever so perfectly I always order the Prawn Crackers with Orange Sauce for starters and the Chicken Satay for Main Course. Always busy so make sure you book a table in advance though! Overall always clean and staff are always readily available to help.

This place is nothing but perfect, they managed to give us a table with a good view although it was reserved an hour later, the staff were really friendly and the food didn’t take too long to come. Their Tom Yum was superb, one of the best I’ve ever had and the pad Thai was heavenly with really good filling portions. It was totally worth the money and totally worth another visit I highly recommend this place for Thai food lovers.

Siam Thai is a gorgeous restaurant in Dundrum. Perhaps the best located spot in the centre with a restaurant and and Candlelit bar overlooking the pond and the whole of Dundrum. The staff are ever so courteous and polite with an air of nonchalance that is quite refreshing in an often stressed out environment to see. The music was deafening I must admit in the candlelit bar once the pianist began so I might recommend sitting below if you want to catch up with friends or out on the balcony. Definitely push for the balcony though to avail of the fabulous views, of course space is limited out there but flirt with the beautiful waiters and you’ll get out there. The menu is on the pricier side of things with 10 – 15 Euro cocktails but they have early bird menu for you bargain hunters!

Went here for dinner and was somewhat let down. The décor of the place is beautiful — while not terribly Thai — and upmarket, but unfortunately the food doesn’t keep up with that. I was particularly disappointed with the fact that my panang curry was served with basil rather than Thai basil, which has a very different and distinct taste that really changes the overall taste of the dish. On top of that it was very poorly chopped and I ended up with whole flowers of basil in my dish. Overall the good was good, but not fantastic, and it certainly doesn’t justify the price tag. + decent Thai food, but nothing a good take away wouldn’t provide + great décor — can get very busy — some ingredients not authentic — very steep prices with mains over 20 Euros(outside of specials)

Hmmmmm used to love this place a few years back when it was always packed and buzzing. Sadly it’s now not as good in my view…

Siam Thai in Dundrum is a lot bigger than I expected it to be and it is very, very busy which, to me, took away from the experience of eating Thai food. Despite the many buddhas around the two-floor dining room, if you are expecting a moment of peace and calm — don’t! Nothing wrong with a busy restaurant(they must be doing something right) but at times it was hard to hear across our round table of six. Food was decent. Few places offer tasty tofu dishes, mine turned out to be pleasant and nicely flavoured. Prices are ok for dining out I suppose, but now that I think about it my tofu and garlic with vegetables was € 15(meat eaters will pay about € 17 – 18) and Jasmine rice was an extra € 2. Bit mean, no? It’s a little bit more than the price of a kilo of rice at the supermarket for a bowl of the stuff. As restaurants go, this is not bad, you kinda know what you are getting yourself into when you read the take-away style menu: fancy schmantzy décor, decent vino, Thai-flavoured food at reasonable dining out prices. Deserts were appetising but not at all Thai-themed, which was another letdown for me — cheesecake? Ok it’s a crowd pleaser but what does it do for the authenticity of the place and the alleged Thai chefs working in the kitchen? Look, go. It’s fine. Dundrum doesn’t have a big Thai population and clearly Siam Thai has found its target market here. It’s fine, I said, it’s just fine.

Had a lovely meal here on Wednesday. We were upstairs with only one other couple dining so it was nice and quiet. The waiting staff were very natural and friendly which cushioned the blow of being told they were out of the lemon sole I ordered. Went for the duck instead and it was very nice. Good selection of beers too. I would consider it a little pricey for what you get which means a 3 rather than a 4 from me. But definitely worth a visit.

The food was good but the service has slow. It has possibly changed by now or they may have been having a bad day.

Been here a few times and not disappointed yet. En route once again to what would prove to be an execrable movie, we booked a table for 3 at 8.15 having been told that was when the early birds began to depart. Sure enough, we rolled up on the dot, tiny reception area full of the hopeful and hopeless but we were immediately shown to a table in the centre of the room. The joint was leppin’ so booking most definitely required. There were three of us, daughter chose the Paad Thai, wife the duck sortofbarbecued and I also had duck, only different.(Memo to self — take notes next time). Excellent fried rice complemented the mains. Wine was a very potable NZ Pinot Grigio, which I hadn’t come across before and the bill for 3 was a tad short of € 95 with service very much optional. Service was efficient so we were in and out in just over an hour. Generous tip later, we went to said execrable movie of which the less said the better.

My boyfriend surprised me with a meal here as we both love Thai food. He rang ahead to book a table which I would recommend as it is often very busy. We got there at 6.40pm on a week night and the place was packed! We were in there early enough to get the early bird option which was just € 22 for 2 courses and tea/coffee or € 26 for 3 courses and tea/coffee. a bargain in my opinion! We had some white wine which was perfectly chilled and tasty. I had the chicken satay skewers for starter which is an all-time favourite of mine. The sauce was PERFECT! So nutty and delicious. I would definitely recommend it. My boyfriend got the tempura prawns which were also very nice with a very light tempura batter. For our main courses I couldn’t decide between the chicken papaya salad and the sole and mango salad so was delighted to hear they were out of papaya. I had chicken and mango salad. great mix of both items I wanted! The chicken was warm and well marinated and the shredded mango and carrot salad were lightly dressed in a delicious citrus sauce. The flavours were lovely and it was a nice change from the noodle options that I’m usually drawn to. My boyfriend had a duck red curry which was also delicious! The ambiance in Siam Thai is very cool and the artwork is lovely. The service is great and the food is very quick. If the weather is nice you can sit on the terrace overlooking the pond. The menu is a bit pricey but if you get there on time for the early bird it is definitely value for money. The food is always perfect and the service is efficient and professional. I’ll definitely be back soon.

Love it! We went for the early bird and had a glass of wine — as one does. We shared the crispy duck with the pancakes. Main course was beef in oyster sauce served with noodles. All was very tasty in good surroundings. Picky bit was we had to rush off to the cinema… and seeing the film I wish we had not bothered. Looking forward to going back… with more time.

If you like Thai Food this is a must for you. This is a very busy restaurant and I would advise booking ahead. The service is excellent and so speedy. We were seated for only about 10 minutes when the food arrived. Main courses are about € 18 euro plus € 3 for extras. The food is very tasty and good quality. There is a great selection of dishes on the menu and something for everyones taste. The seating is comfortable and classy. The candle on the table adds a personal touch. A window seat is very hard to get but brilliant if you get it. Even though the restaurant was full with people the beauty was that one was not roaring at each other across the table due to other customers chatters. So no hoarse throats leaving here. I am looking forward to my next visit. Next time I will visit the cockail bar up stairs
