It seems like all the restaurants in Dix30 are cookie cutout restaurants in the square. Siam is one of the restaurants in the square that has a terasse. Located on the second floor, the decor was exquisite-meeting traditions of thai with modern elegance. We didn't need reservations to get a table- I don't think that's the case with any of the these dix30 square restaurants.
The menu is definitely pricey for the quality of food. Cocktails start at 11$, wines start at 16$ a glass. I originally ordered the night in thailand but they ran out of carnation milk. So I picked the mai thai- which was ok. The cocktails were definitely NOT the game player of Siam.
We ordered a taster sampler- that included 3 of each of the following-spring rolls (quite small), chicken wings, chicken skewers, coconut style shrimp tempura and spring rolls- for 39$ for the whole sampler- this was comparable to a KFC 5$ bucket. None of these flavours stood out- and for the price I was paying I would've appreciated more pieces and dipping sauce considering at cost- these guys are making a lot of money off this dish! Be nice!
For our mains: we did the cod yellow curry (3/5) the cod was well cooked and served on a bed of fried rice noodles (cute). The red duck curry (3/5) was served in a coconut cream sauce with lychees and pineapples- the duck was well done. The chicken cashew stole the show (4/5) I enjoyed the presentation in a metallic stir fry pan and the flavours were bold and not too spicy. The cashews and mushrooms in this dish were subtle.
A turnoff to most of these restaurants in dix30-the servers don't speak a word of English or poor attentive skills. We asked if the jasmine rice that comes with the dish is served in a traditional thai woven basket-waitress had nodded. This was not the case- we got jasmine rice served in regular bowls. I get this is not a big issue for most but, we ended up ordered an additional sticky rice for 1.00$ because she could not make a word of what we asked. Another server had to come in to rectify the situation and give us additional utensils.
Topping at 70$ pp, this was not worth any of it, too pricey for a fancy dining hall with mediocre quality food.
