Siam Eatery

Had the chicken panang with brown rice and thai iced tea. Was absolutly delicious! Lots of chicken with crisp green beans and just a bit of spice. Portions were hearty. Service was quick and friendly.

As a fan of all thai food, I had to check this place out after walking past and getting a whiff of what was cooking inside. It did not disappoint. I don’t know what authentic Thai food tastes like, but I do know that this one was delicious. I tried both the green and red curry — vegetarian style (which was nice because a lot of Thai curries have fish sauces in them). They were both delicious! The smaller size is more than enough but I could definitely have finished the large. The only disappointment was that they don’t have tofu, but it was amazing without so can’t complain too much!

Ein kleiner netter Asia Imbiss im Herzen von London. Besonders der Service ist wirklich ausgezeichnet und sehr freundlich. Die Preise sind für Londoner Niveau ganz in Ordnung. Das Essen (hier: gebratene Nudeln) war wirklich lecker. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung!

Was probably most impressed by the service here — it was take away so perhaps I only saw too small of a sliver but they were just really knowledgeable, customer focused and friendly. That’s not always the case in the UK…
I had the green chili curry and my only regret was that I didn’t put more sriracha on it. It gets two chili signs but it was pretty mild IMHO. Bang for the buck its about on par with good, cheap eats in the strand/​covent garden area but then again, there are not many very tasty Asian/​SE Asian places worth visiting around here so I was pretty happy to find this one.
Definitely worth checking out — I would also recommend getting here closer to opening if you don’t mind having your lunch a bit early. There is no wait and the food is super fresh.

Tried this place for the first time today and loved it. The green curry is the perfect balance of savory and spicy. Some places only give you a little sauce and a ton of rice on the bottom, but not here. The regular size is more than enough food and definitely worth it. I’ll definitely be using my rewards card in the future…

Yum, great stuff here! I’ve been twice for their green curry /​brown rice bowl. Really filling –the small sized portion is more than enough. While the green curry says that it’s spicy, for spice eaters, it’s not really noticeable. Thankfully there is a lot of Sriracha /​Vietnamese spicy sauce on hand to add to your bowl.
I’ve also had the thai iced tea — large portion which was too much to finish. Really spot on (reminded me of what I’ve had in Chiang Mai for example) … but I guess the sweetness got to me by the end and couldn’t finish it.
You order at the counter — during lunch time be prepared to queue up out the door and onto the sidewalk. In the evening, it’s much less busy. Have eaten inside at some of their few tables once — squeezed in next to another couple. Close quarters, so maybe better to take it and eat outside somewhere (like Covent Garden!). Chopsticks on hand, plasticware, and the paper cups that the curry comes in. Even if you’re eating in, feels like your picnic-​ing. Keeps the cost down though — around 5 pounds for a vegetarian curry bowl.
Friendly service at the counter and curries come out quite quickly (the Thai Iced tea took an oddly long amount of time…). Unfortunately no restroom for patrons! I’ve gotten a frequent patron card … I’ll be back here for some cheap Thai curry right by Aldwych/​LSE/​Covent Garden.

My only regret is not getting more for take away. Some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. The Mussaman curry was delicious and the service was excellent.

Delicious inexpensive takeout. Green curry was amazing. Just like in Thailand.

I came here on a weekday at around 1 pm — the line wasn’t too long, and it moved very quickly which was a plus. It was pretty chilly/​rainy outside so I was immediately drawn to the rice hot pot and ultimately opted for the Chicken Ginger one (I believe it’s a Monday «special») with brown rice. Literally 5 minutes after I ordered, my food was ready! Not only was the service fast, but the food was hot and tasted great too. I have to say the topping (fried onion flakes?) wasn’t my favorite, but the stuff underneath — the chicken, ginger, and rice — was really good. And it was really filling. I got the regular size this time, which was enough for 1.5 meals so in that sense you really get a lot for your money (I think I paid around 7). The only negative is that the place is pretty small so you’ll likely have to take-​out, but other than that I loved my experience here.

I think Siam Eatery is as good as it gets for quick Thai food on the go.
The woman working was very helpful and patient with me as I scanned the menu for what to get. I settled on the Red Curry because the Green Curry just ran out — my fault, I came very close to closing. I also got the Banoffee (i think?) pudding dessert.
I got my food so quickly! I think I was in and out of Siam Eatery within 5 minutes. The food was also super super delicious! I got a regular size for the red curry, and it was more than enough to fill me up for dinner. The pudding was also a great ending to the meal.
5 stars for the yummy, quick food and the wonderful service! I will definitely be back soon to try more items on the menu.

Great place. Just a few seats but the food lives up to prior reviews. I loved the green curry and chicken ginger dishes. Great lunch spot

I lived in Covent Garden for a year, and Siam Eatery was my go-​to take away. Warm delicious Thai food, solid portions at a reasonable price for the area? Powerful combo!
Seriously, if this place launched over here in the student area of Philly, the kids would go nuts. I probably visited Siam 20 odd times over the year (enough to get through a punch card and land my girlfriend a freebie), and was never disappointed.
Staff are beyond incredibly friendly/​chill and will steer you towards your ideal choice if you need a suggestion. You won’t feel rushed here, and will only need to wait a minute for the end result. Small, but welcoming atmosphere.
To anyone that lives in the area and has only visited once… shame on you for not going back and trying out the rest of the amazing options (unless you heroically defeated all options in one sitting).
I pretty much exclusively had the Massaman (hearty) and Green (uhhh, green) curries, and nothing can fill the void at that price /​speed now that I have moved back to the U. S…

Such a great place! The food always tastes amazing and is so fresh. Different days with different meals available… Means that you start to plan your week and become a regular on certain days! Really friendly staff, good prices, and a good variety… You woont be disappointed with anything you have. There’s not much seating room inside… But you’ll make your colleagues jealous with the heat aromas coming from your lunch! Get the loyalty card… You’ll be back!

A lovely small thai restaurant. Not many seats /​choices but foods are great! Would love to visit there again!

We had the green curry with chicken tonight (and a little side of Sriracha) and right before leaving out decided to try the freshly fried prawns. The bomb. We’ll be back. Highly recommend everyone living/​working in the area to give it a try!

Delicious, fresh, no fuss, fragrant and bold flavored food. Great value for the size of the pot. Cheap, easy and cheerful in the theatre district.

We wandered past Siam Eatery after a chilly morning by the Thames, and decided to give it a go. The woman working the cash register was friendly and chatty, and when I had trouble deciding, she offered me a taste of the Duck Par-​Lo, which I ended up ordering. The soup was piping hot, delicious, and affordable at 5.65. The place is tiny though, so we were lucky we’d arrived after the lunch rush and could get a table.
Overall, a cute, cozy restaurant with great service and delicious food.

Went here on a rainy day to have some Thai food to warm me up. The food definitely was warming, I had the red Thai veg curry which was super spicy (for me) but very tasty. The café is very well positioned for Covent Garden but is off the beaten track so not full of tourists. They have a selection of different warm dishes, varying in spicy-​ness and meats. They also sell some lovely looking salads. The price is reasonable for Covent Garden with the veg curry costing £5 and salads £4.80. They also have a few seats inside and they don’t charge you extra to eat in which is great! The staff are lovely too and will advise you on what to have if you’re not a huge fan of spicy food (I only realised this after fighting my way through the red Thai curry though).
I went back again today and had a delicious satay chicken sandwich which was very yummy.
