I tried Siam delight last week and I already want to go back! The atmosphere is comfortable and cute, and servers were welcoming and attentive.
I had trouble choosing an appetizer (most things are fried and I wanted something steamed) and our waitress helped us choose dumplings. We got 10 dumplings for $5 and they were very good. I also got the wonton soup. I don't know what is in that broth but I've been craving it ALL week! My husband and I are going back tonight just so I can have the soup!
We also got the pad thai (delicious) and the fever chicken (also delicious and not too spicy.
The best thing about this place is $3 beers! nice! A small, but decent selection.
Siam Delight is easily the best Thai food I've ever had, out of soo many Thai restaurants. This was the first place I ever had Thai food, more than 10 years ago, and every other place since has been a bit of a disappointment.
I've been here more times than I can count - I love that their food is always fresh and never greasy or doused in too much sauce. Their Pad Thai is really exceptional and tasty, and Delight of Two, stir fries and the veggie rolls are all favorites. I've driven out here late at night in the cold and snow just to pick up 4 veggie rolls, they are so unbelievably addicting.
The atmosphere here is really cozy and friendly, although they do have a kind of amusing mix of artwork from classic paintings to a mini motorcycle mounted on the wall. Service is also really quick and the one time my waiter forget to bring a glass of wine, he gave my friend and I a glass each, on the house, gotta love it!
Ok...i've been going here for over 10 years. Can I just go right into their pad thai?? It is the best pad thai I've ever had. I've been to famous and well known thai restaurants in boston and nyc but cannot beat this local thai place in beverly.
As I eat this pad thai, I can hear the pad thai speaking to me saying....yes, eat me, I am the best pad thai ever. I rule all pad thais.
But I wouldn't be going here if that's the only thing this place offered. Their country fried rice and spice squid dishes are well known by any regular Sima Delight customers.
I love their atmosphere. It's trendy and warm. Service? not gonna complain. It's decent.
Though they raised the price recently, I would still consider this place on the cheaper side. But that's the not the only change in this restaurant. One day, I noticed the difference in my pad thai. I wondered what was going on. How can I tell? Because I've been eating this for 10 years. Sometimes, when I have huge cravings, i came to this place 3-4 times a week.
So when I asked around, I found out that they changed their chefs. I would have given 5 star, but now, with the chef change, it only got worse.
But don't worry Siam Delight, I did not disown you. Where are you, my original chef?? come back, ok??
Love this place!!! Had lunch here with three friends recently. I ordered the pad thai, it was very tasty! We ordered vegetable rolls and wontons as table apps and they also were very good and much to my happiness not greasy at all!!! The service was fantastic and I really loved the cool vibe of the resturaunt. If you are in the area and enjoy good thai food-don't miss this gem!
This place is great! As I'm sure a lot of others can attest to, I am always a little concerned about Asian restaurants in rural areas where there are actually no people of Asian decent. That said, this place was some of the best Thai food I've ever had.
The restaurant itself is situated in an oddly small building shared only with a dry cleaners, but the interior is gorgeous. Very modern and clean, and a giant HDTV playing video of beaches and things, not your typical sports or news, definitely a very relaxed environment. The staff were very friendly and lightning quick on just about everything.
As for the food, it was of the highest quality. I ordered their Pad Thai, which was excellent. It was very fresh and not dried out noodles, with some delicious tofu, and some unexpected veggies like zucchini and squash. I also ordered the Pad See-Ew which was also excellent. They have a great menu selection to satisfy anything you're looking for, even some with rice, glass and other non-local types of noodles.
Overall, a great and very affordable place, and right in downtown Beverly. I recommend their Thai Iced Coffee, they make it with Dunkin Donuts coffee, and its delicious!
My partner-in-crime recently moved to a new location that puts him right across the street from Siam Delight. We are both lovers of Thai cuisine, so this is one of the first places we've checked out. We were big fans of Thai Parima in Dracut, but due to his new location, that place is no longer practical to trek to.
Siam Delight lived up to Thai Parima pretty well on our first visit. It is very clean, and new looking inside. The art on the walls ranges from classic, recognizable works of art to a model of a motorcycle. It's a bit weird, but the place still looks nice inside. They might consider closing off the kitchen though. They've worked very hard to create a nice atmosphere, and having the kitchen wide open detracts from it.
Our server was pleasant, if not very talkative, and the service was very quick. We started with the Thai rolls, which were your run of the mill crispy rolls with veggies and chicken inside. What set them apart from other competitors was a delicious, semi-thick pineapple sauce that was for dipping. I'll always take any excuse to eat pineapple, so it was a hit with me.
On my first visit, I felt that I had to judge them by their Pad Thai and it was pretty good. What made Thai Parima's better, was their crispy chicken. I think if Siam Delight's chicken had been crispy, it would have been just as good.
The lunch prices were fabulous. We both got out for less than $10. You can't beat that. We'll be back, and I look forward to sampling other goodies from the menu.
I am having a love affair with Siam Delight. I love this place and living practically across the street has made it very easy for us to have regular Thai trysts--in my first month living in Beverly, I think ordered takeout here five or six times. The food here is top notch and is usually ready for pickup just minutes after I call in an order. So far my favorites are the Noodles on the Beach (pretty similar to drunken noodles at other restaurants) and the red curry. The prices are decent and the portions on most entrees are large enough to leave you with enough leftovers for lunch the next day. This place has very quickly become my go-to for those lazy Friday nights when I don't feel like cooking, or those lazy Tuesday nights when I don't feel like doing my grocery shopping, or those forgetful Wednesdays when I forget that I was too lazy to do my shopping on Tuesday and hence, have no food in the house...you get my point.
I'm not a pad thai lover, but I can eat theirs. My friends rave about their pad thai.
Very good thai food all around.
I particularly enjoy getting take out and walking over to the beach to eat it. It's just a short walk away and totally worth it.
Were we delighted? Mostly. Quite cozy for a large open room, and quite toasty on a frigid, snowy evening. Filled up fast and was fairly hopping right after we sat down around 6ish on a Saturday. Food was tasty, if nothing all too special, but hit the spot for exactly what we were looking for just then. Approved.
(Also, never got an answer about it's relationship to the adjacent Sam's Laundry next door. Which came first? The signage out front, with a dominant Sam's and an impossible to spot Siam, which led to us driving by blithely, twice, would swing in favor of the laundry. But the difference of the "i" compels...)
This place is great. The decor is vibrant but not over the top. The waitresses are quiet, but nice and very efficient. They have reasonably priced, tasty food that comes out so quick! I love their pad thai and recently just tried the crystal pad thai (clear noodles). The boyfriend always gets the drunken chicken. I'm definitely going to have to try noodles on the beach next time I go!
Best Thai place on the North Shore...best Thai place I've ever been to.
Portions are big, prices are reasonable. The staff is kind, especially if you're a regular. Every time I go back to the North Shore I try to go.
The decor is really odd, not fitting of what you might expect of a Thai place. Which is nice because it doesn't have all that cheesy "look we're an asian restaurant" feel.
So try it out, it is good. Trust me.
I just moved down the street and this place has been such a treasure! I love thai food, and imagine right at the end of the steet!? I got vegetable tempuras and they were huge and delicious.
The cashnew chicken was pretty amazing too, along with the pad thai. My first order was take out, and my second time at the restaurant that is really nice inside with a great atmosphere.
I feel like this place could be overlooked by the typical passerby, but stop next time it is worth it :)
I really do like this place not because it's the only tasty Thai place in my area but that you know what you'll get every time: good food at a reasonable price. Some have given negative responses because of a bad experience; but my goodness! can't a place make a mistake here and there? we are human beings. There's a famous quote, "you are as good as your last meal" and it's true. However, this famous quote is always being used by chefs/owners of HIGH END restaurants. Rightly so! If I pay 140.00 for a 12 course meal, i expect it to be FREAKING perfect. I hate to break it to those harsh critics out there but Thomas Keller, nor Eric Ripert, nor Charlie Trotter works or own this place. Just chill and give this place another chance.
After much complaining and with the power of Yelp, Siam Delight finally made me Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli dish and it was tasty (not amazing; nevertheless tasty). The crunchiness of the pork and the slight bitterness of the greens is a the perfect marriage. My only complaint about this specially ordered dish was the price: 9.25 for lunch is tad bit expensive. So PEOPLE PLEASE SPECIAL ORDER THIS DISH SO THE OWNERS PERMANENTLY ADD IT INTO THE MENU.
Looking for good Thai food in the North Shore is like roaming around in the Sahara desert: a long… Read more »
Hands down my favorite little place in Beverly
Siam has always been good. Nice atmosphere and great menu. Nice to see the menu changing from time to time.
Really good food and surprisingly busy for Cabot St, Beverly.
Casually trendy without pretense. Standard fare but freshly done and tasty.
A good choice when you're in the mood for Thai and in the local area.
A great find in Beverly. Stopped in for dinner one night last week and the food was delicious, service great, and atmosphere clean and cozy. There were plenty of Thai selections on the menu and our appetizer and main course were both fresh and well prepared. In the North Shore, this is the best Thai place we have come across. The inexpensive wine ($3.50 a glass) also made me cheerful. : ) If you like Thai food and are in Beverly, give it a try.
Seriously, this is the best Thai food there is on the East Coast.
I have been to Thai places all over Boston, Somerville, Brooklyn, and Manhattan and all fall short to Siam Delight.
The food is no where near healthy, but it is not overly oily nor salty like many other Thai places. Delight's Masaman Curry and Pad Thai are their best dishes, and ones I frequently bought while on break from school.
If you think you have tried the best Thai place somewhere else, take the trip to Beverly and be proven wrong.
Great food and a cool atmosphere. My girlfriend used to go all the time and now has gotten my hooked. There is not a lot of thai restaurants in the area but if there was I would come back here time and time again
Personally, I wish this place had been as great an experience for me as I was assured from many people that it would be. I found that even the dishes people had raved to me about weren't that great. There were lots of vegetarian options on the menu, which was nice but expected in Thai food. I just kept comparing it with Tamarind House in Cambridge which is - hands down - the best Thai food I've ever had. I tried some of the same dishes here that I'd had at Tamarind House and there was no contest - Siam Delight did not cut it for me.
The atmosphere was nice, very "neighborhoody". People seemed to be enjoying themselves. The restaurant and open kitchen appeared clean but I did find a three-inch long dark hair buried in my tightly wrapped Spring Roll. I'm just trying not to think about it.
All in all, I might try this place again but go with something other than what I got the last time (deep fried tofu, spring rolls, vegetable fried rice with pineapple).
My carnivorous boyfriend thought it was average, but, again, no comparison with Tamarind House.
I just moved to Beverly, so I'm Yelping the places I've tried as I try them.
I've eaten from Siam Delight twice now, once as takeaway and once in the restaurant. I don't know why, but I don't remember the takeaway - I think it was pad thai. It's hard to make a pad thai that I don't enjoy, and Siam Delight is no exception. I ordered it again when I ate there recently and they leave out the fish sauce for vegetarians! I thought this was a great touch.
I like everything about this restaurant - the service was quick and friendly, the lighting is great, everything is spotlessly clean. I don't really understand why we were the only couple there at 9.45 on a Saturday night, but maybe that's because the kitchen closes at 10.
If you go, I heartily recommend the vegetable tempura. The batter is perfect - not too heavy - and the vegetables are crisp and yummy. This is an outstanding appetizer and good enough to actually stand on its own as an entree if I wasn't already set on the pad thai.
I know other reviewers here have said that Siam Delight doesn't compare with other Thai spots in Boston, but sometimes I don't want to go to Boston to eat; sometimes I just want to take a five minute walk up the road and get me some noodle.
This place is consistently good. The crystal pad thai is very delicious, as well as the various curries. The Tom Yum soup has a bit too much lime juice in it...tasted artificial, very disappointing. I recommend it, but only for a lack of anything better in the area.
This place has great food and very fresh, and its very healthy if you don't order the fried stuff, I love Thai and before I knew about this place, I used to go into Cambridege, but why pay for the commuter rail, I'm a poor college student, so when I found this place I was happy. The waitstaff is always friendly and efficient. So if you want good thai go down to Beverly and support our local businesses.
I love Siam. Please don't let the location of this delicious Thai restaurant keep you away. It's clean and simple inside, and the food that comes out of that open kitchen truly is a Siam Delight. I highly recommend the pataya noodle, Noodles on the beach, panang curry, and also the golden triangles and veggie tempura appetizers. it's cheap too!
I have never been inside, I've always gotten delivery. They deliver to Beverly & Wenham. The food is fresh and flavorful. I'm partial to the drunken chicken. It's inexpensive for lunch, and moderately priced for dinner.
I do have an addition to make to this review. I ordered the drunken chicken over the weekend, got it delivered, and I must say, there was absolutely no flavor to it. I've always had good experiences here before, but this time it wasn't good. The tempura was fine, and my sister liked her pad thai, but the drunken chicken wasn't working.
****1/18/2008****
Another addition: Delivery took an hour and a half on a Friday afternoon. Not only do they charge $4 for delivery, they take forever. Do not get delivery here. If there was another Thai place close to my work, I would go there, but there isn't, so I am stuck. And they were not friendly when we called back. Then, they just stopped answering the phone. I repeat, DO NOT get delivery from here. I will not be getting delivery again, and will limit how much I go here. Outrageous.
The best Pad See You of all time. Absolutely amazing.
Spotlessly clean interior, enormous and expansive menu, prompt service. Food served piping hot and fresh. No overcooked vegetables here.
Only problem- their Thai rolls were too dry and thick. I'm partial to those at Spice & Rice in Cambridge. But I will be back again! Come and bring a group- delicious cheap eats.
Dank veggie Pad Thai. Dank Dank Dank. No fish sauce, no egg, no problem. I have literally ordered 5 of them this week (one was for a friend). Super fast pick up, and it's friggin $6.35. That's over $4 cheaper than the Kok in Salem. Although the Kok has a couple other veggies thrown in like bok choy.
Dankness.
Just went here for dinner. The Vegetable Tempura was amazing, the best that I have ever had.. We also had great Thai rolls that were very good. My husband had noodles on the beach that he said was very good. I had the Pad Thai that was amazing, there was enough sauce so that it wasn't too dried out like I find in a lot of Thai places. We were a little dissappointed that they didn't have a dessert menu. Maybe sometime in the future. Overall it was a wonderful meal and we will return in the very near future.
I haven't had enough Thai food to have opinion as to how this place rates among other Thai food restaurants, however the food I had today was delicious. Yellow curry shrimp with a side order of Thai rolls. Friggin' delicious. I've been trying to save money (and calories) by bringing my lunch to work and this place isn't going to help. I called in my order for pickup and it was ready when I got there and the person on the counter was quick and polite. They had parking which is rare on Cabot St. It looked like a nice place to sit down and have a few drinks.
Every time I drove by Siam delight I thought "Ooo, yikes a Thai Place attached to a dry cleaner?? hmm I don't know...." I never stopped in simply because I was being a snit about the location. (I am a dumb ass) Then last night after a few cocktails we decided we were famished and wanted food. We drove slowly down Cabot Street looking for snacks and spotted Siam delight. We went back and forth about whether we should check it out and decided to go in and peek at the menu. We were greeted by a super friendly server who gave us the menu to look at, along with a beer and wine list. They don't have hard booze, just beer and wine, but after a giant martini earlier (on a Wednesday) did I really need it?? The prices are insanely reasonable. $3 for a glass of wine??! $12 for a bottle? Sold, to the fat kid in the front! The restaurant is spotless. Seriously. Even the bathroom was absolutely immaculate. Quick service. Everyone was extremely friendly. The house style duck was phenomenal. We also got the noodle on the beach and our server made sure to ask if we wanted it spicy. (We did) It was so good! Big wide noodles with the best sauce, I am still thinking about them this morning. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes.
I enjoy myself here - I am partial to Noodle on the Beach (where do they get these names?) and chicken Satay. The veggies are never overcooked, and everything is tasty. We usually get take out - but when I've had sit down service it has been fine. Sometimes the service is a little odd. . .like three different people will bring various parts of your meal and you'll never see any of them again - and you'll have to flag down a 4th to get your tab. It's busy and local and enjoyable. . .a favorite standby for me.
Great food at a great price. Atmosphere is nice, bright and clean. The food is crisp with good taste. Recommended for lunch or dinner. As with most Thai restaurants, the wine list is not great. But the curry, the pad thai and other dishes are excellent and reasonable. A group of four can eat dinner and have a drink each for under $70.
yummy, yummy, yummy. This is a hidden gem! The wine prices are low, all the food I've ever had has been wonderful (at least 8 different dishes). They have the best Tom Yum soup ever and the yellow curry is perfect. The service could be improved but it is a great value for your money!

I know it's hard to find a place to eat in…
