Reasonable people will inevitably disagree about what's "authentic" or "genuine" or even "real." Not so when it comes to Thai Siam's food, which is as close to "of or relating to Thailand and its peoples" as you're going to get in the Bible Belt. Their Pad Thai is not made from ketchup and the spiciness is not a condiment you add at the table. The food is inexpensive; the decor is modest and beside the point. Though the Lawrence restaurant opened in the fall of 2004, the owners have operated a Thai restaurant (Parsons, Kan.) for 13 years. Thai Siam also serves several common Chinese/American dishes like General Tso's Chicken and Crab Rangoon.

I love this place. Somehow the food tastes even better when they are in a bad mood.

I am not a big fan of the Chinese dishes, but their Thai dishes are the reason I am totally addicted. They will always make my curry vegan(i.e. without fish sauce) and they understand the meaning of "extra spicy". The veggies are always incredibly fresh, too.

Their hours changed a bit recently--they close from 3PM to 5PM most days, and are closed on Sunday.

They don't seem to mind last-minute orders a bit, but if you order close to closing time, get it to go.

Writing this was too much,,, I want Green Curry Tofu right now.

The best Thai food for the money in the region. Well worth sitting in a booth/tiny table. Very reasonable prices, very delicious food!

Thai Siam,

I think I'm done with you. Your food is good, but your service is truly awful. Last time I dined in, you brought food to the other three people in our party but failed to bring mine until long after they were done eating. I gave you one more chance last night, but waiting nearly an hour for a takeout order is ridiculous and rude. You'll now have one less customer to neglect.

So long.

Thai Subway! At least that is what I call it...I am from Thailand and I am telling you that this is probably the most authentic in the area. Very good food...much better than the 2 Thai rest. downtown. I will say this...stay away from the Chinese side of the menu...not their strongest...

Chinese and Thai cooking are very different styles....the Chinese side of the menu should be avoided. In other words if you want Chinese go to a chinese resteraunt...don't expect to drop in at Thai Siam expecting good Chinese food....it is a Thai Rest.

You aren't going to find better Asian cuisine in Lawrence aside from the pricier Scarlet Orchid. Best curry, noodle dishes, meat and preparation around. Amazing taste and quality (read: not fast food Asian like Jade Garden, which I still like.)

I love this restaurant. If I could figure out a way to afford it, I would eat here every day of the frickin' week. The menu's big enough...
