    I love to eat good food I don’t care how much it cost. When you’re looking for some fine dining this is the perfect place for you to take a special someone or your family for all occasions. The seafood is fresh and all of the entrees are delicious. There is too many choose from I just order a bunch of them. When you work hard for your money sometimes you got to live and let the money work hard for you. Eat good and enjoy your life!

    Went there on a weekday and pretty empty. A lot of parking spots on venue. Good fried clam and can taste the authenticity of Cantonese style frying. The veggie and the pho were mediocre but came with a good volume. This is probably the best you can get in Cleveland when it comes to Cantonese food but still not impressive. The staff was very attentive and friendly.

    It has been way too long since I was at Siam Cafe in Cleveland. Jill and I had ; Bun Bo Huo Soup - spicy beef soup with fresh bean sprouts( good , very good), Vietnamese Spring Rolls with chili oil dipping sauce, Tod Mun - Shrimp and Chicken Cakes with chili cucumber dipping sauce - this was good but I would like it to be crispier versus the consistency of cornbread plus Stir-Fried Spicy Cabbage it was very spicy... Love this place for more authentic Asian food..

    It is a great and authentic Chinese restaurant, but always packed and noisy. Recommend the peking duck serving with soft buns and jellyfish as an appetizer.

    Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai. After a couple days of Thanksgiving leftovers, I was all pho it. A blogger I follow on Instagram posted some photos of the food at Siam, which led me to cure my hunger last night. There's basically nothing in sight around this place, but a hidden gem it is. Parking lot full. We were seated very quickly, and our order was taken promptly. Dishes: Vietnamese spring rolls - crispy, tasty, but nothing special. The sweet like clear rice vinegar dipping liquid was super yummy, just sweet tart enough, and much better than your average duck sauce. Seafood Curry - Squash, peppers, shrimp (good sized), mussels, scallops, eggplant, mushrooms, in a spicy Thai curry. $21. Not too spicy, good flavor, happy with the size of the shrimp. Comes with white rice. Peking Duck -While I half expected to actually see a half of a duck, this was already broken down and bao'd up for you with a smidge (could've used a lot more) of sauce and green onion. Crispy skin, and some tender duck pieces, some not. $22 String Bean in Garlic Sauce - Plateful of beans, with a healthy amount of garlic sauce coating. Was not disappointed with this dish. Flavor on point. I could eat this as a snack anytime. :) $10 We also had a couple glasses of wine and two Singhas. Bill came to $97. Seems steep for this kind of place, but we did drink a bit, and we'll have leftovers for another meal! UnFORTUNately no fortune cookies, lol

    This is, and will always be my favorite restaurant in Ohio. The quality of food and the warm hospitality is like nothing I've ever experienced. Each item on the menu looks absolutely stunning and begs to be tried. I'm a regular customer and I see why almost all the tables are always full. The staff is dedicated to their craft.

    September 2022: I used to see this building all the time when I was a student as Cleveland State University. However, I never gave it the opportunity to prove itself. Now, years later, I was still curious and had to give them a try. The restaurant sits on a relatively quiet NW corner of St. Clair and East 40th Street. The outside is decorated with bold hints of Asian influence including the various statues from the Chinese zodiac. Inside, the restaurant is spacious, clean and has plenty of tables to seat maybe a party of 80 people. I ordered the Vietnamese spring rolls as an appetizer, which came out promptly as 4 thumb sized, peefectly crispy rolls with a sweet, tangy dipping sauce with some chillies in it. The Pad Thai arrived later and was a delicious blend of chicken, shrimp, noodles, green onions, and chopped peanuts on top. It was very good, but not the best that I've tasted. I decided to wash it down with a jackfruit smoothie for dessert, which was good. Pros: * Good food, fast and friendly service. * Menu was assembled well and had Asian characters along with English subtitles and photo. There appears to be some sort of indexing system, but I did not use it. * Prices are reasonable for the quantity of food that was given. * There were many people coming in for pickup and Doordash, which is testament to their service and culinary skill. Some people (diverse crowd) sat inside in groups to seemingly converse over dinner. Very inviting atmosphere. Cons: * I am unable to think of any. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Conclusion: I will return in the near future. This restaurant is like a hidden gem for a date night or group lunch/dinner.

    Overall good experience at Siam Cafe for me, my husband, and two stepsons. I did not care for the quality of chicken in the sweet and sour chicken and the General tsos. Everything else we had was good.

    Food is good a little on the bland side. got general tso's, spring rolls and beef lo main. Spring rolls are really good. They have live crabs and fish in tanks so can't get much fresher then that. But yeah lo main is super bland I don't recommend, and tso's wasn't even spicy so kinda disappointed

    Lo0o0ove this place! I prefer to get the summer rolls with shrimp, siam wings, egg rolls and the general Tso chicken is amazing. Many more amazing dishes! Drunken noodles is also a favorite.I usually end up getting a coconut bubble tea,too.

    One of the best restaurants in Cleveland’s Asian town. A simple, easy to read menu, with options from all over Asia. The place is listed as a seafood restaurant but there’s plenty for meat eaters and vegetarians to choose from. The food is extremely affordable and full of vibrant flavors. I’ll be back!

    Please don’t waste your time or money. We were here on vacation and heard good things about this place. Called in an order and went in to pick up. We stood there and waited 35 minutes for 3 items. They were rude and just kept walking by us. I asked several times and was told it was being packaged. The cashew chicken was minus cashews. The veggie rolls had a weird ingredient included, not sure what it was. Fried noodles maybe. The steamed pork dumplings were just Ok. I honestly don’t understand how it received such good reviews. The food looked ok, but the taste wasn’t really all that great.

    Wow, so much to choose from. Almost nothing I recognized on the menu. So glad we shared 4 meals and appetizers. I feel you could eat here twice a month and still miss a lot of menu items. Gotta come back when frog legs are in season. 👍 Great experience.

    Delicious! We had a small Christmas party there and I loved every dish we had! Except the spicy ones, but I can't handle spice My favorite was the fried string bun! The sauce served with it is perfect

    The highest quality food in Asian town. The dishes are each so special. Better than any trendy hyped Ohio city or Lakewood spot. Go here now

    Calm dining experience with 5 star food! The wonton noodle soup was perfect and the chicken satay was delicious. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys Asian cuisine.

  • 5/5 Cynthia R. 1 year ago on Google
    Popular for a reason. Diverse menu of Chinese, Thai and other Asian dishes in a bright space. Fresh fish and seafood in tanks. To go and eat in. Desert selections, too. Wine menu available.

  • 5/5 Christopher K. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice Vietnamese Restaurant with Beef, Chicken and Seafood dishes. Their Soups are wonderful. And, many to choose from. They also have a nice selection of Asian Beers. Excellent Service as well.

  • 1/5 Sir Jason B. 1 year ago on Google
    Waited at least 30 minutes just to order a beverage and got it shortly before my food arrived. Ordered General Tso's Chicken with white rice. TONS of my entree came but they said it was Sesame Chicken...nobody ordered Sesame Chicken. Had to share the not enough rice with everyone else at the table even though we all ordered rice. After we were done we had to wait 30-45 minutes for the check. The staff seemed to favor Asian customers over EVERYONE else. Asian customers were grouped together and taken care of much quicker. I will NOT go back there.

  • 5/5 Emily L. 2 years ago on Google
    As a person who never really liked sweet and sour chicken, after coming to this restaurant, I've been craving it everyday. The chicken was both crispy yet very tender. I thought all the dishes tasted quite authentic. I would certainly go back here or order takeout here!

  • 5/5 Nick G. 10 months ago on Google
    Delicious meal and excellent service. We tried a few dishes to share and every one was delicious. Huge menu with something for everyone to love.

  • 5/5 Alisa C. 6 months ago on Google
    My all-time favorite place to eat in Cleveland. The service is fast, the food is hot and delicious, staff is attentive and friendly and prices are reasonable. We eat here regularly (once every 2 or 3 months) and have never been disappointed.

👍 March 2022: Stopped here for lunch on a comp from the Jack Casino. They gave me $30 that I used to get the Double melt, tots, vanilla shake, and chili to go. Pros: * Clean restaurant with a bar and plenty of TVs on the walls. * Friendly staff who were attentive to my needs. It was not very busy so...
