Baan Siam

The worst khao soi I have ever had. It smelled like cat food and tasted just as bad. Plus it was terribly small portion which would have been disappointing had I liked it. Instead it went down the drain and I went hungry that night. $20+ tax and tip is a lot for soup, but abhorrent for a small size that is inedible.

My favorite Thai restaurant in DC. Unique and the dishes are full of flavor!

My boss recommended this place to me as I'm new in DC and hadn't found a good Thai restaurant yet (Thai is my favorite kind of food). I'd tried other options nearby, like Beau Thai, which were really disappointing. After learning of Baan Siam, we made a reservation on Resy the day of, but arrived a few minutes late to our reservation due to traffic. We called ahead to let the host know. They were very understanding and seated us as soon as we arrived. It was busy but not overly packed, which makes sense because they stop seating new customers at 9:00 (at least on Tuesday). Our waitress brought out a large bottle of water for our table immediately. She was very attentive but did not rush us. We were starving and able to order right away. Our food came out very quickly as did our drinks prior. The food was great- and the menu included authentic Thai meals I haven't seen on other menus ANYWHERE. Whether you like classic Thai dishes or are a more adventurous eater, there is something for everyone. If you're looking for a great Thai spot in DC, this may arguably be the best. My only complaint was the lights could have been dimmer, but it was a casual Tuesday night dinner, and the food/service was so great that it didn't matter to us. I will definitely be back.

Wow! This Thai restaurant is a hidden gem in the heart of DC. The menu offers a refreshing departure from the typical Thai restaurant fare, with unique and flavorful dishes. The Khao Soi was incredible - the perfect blend of spices and textures. The presentation was stunning, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend.

Very rude service!!!!!!!! Do not come unless you wanna to eat unhappy. The Asian women always ignore your request and never come to ask how’s your meal.

Full of flavor My fav was the mango salad Food was fresh and delicious

Outstanding! Excellent Service! Extraordinary & Very Polite Service! Outstanding Bar with Delicious frozen tropical adult drinks!!! Delicious Dishes! Please note that this is an extraordinary curry house Thai restaurant!!! Please make reservations. Go!!! You will definitely want to go back and try more dishes!

Why they assume tip is 20%? We only had a lunch and the food is not that good. All meals are too salty and too expensive.

Whoa baby that food is good! Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. Every item we ordered was top notch and authentic thai. I bet you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We got the Nahm dtok salad, Mango Salad, and Pork Satay for appetizers. I especially loved the combo between the 2 salads; sweet and spicy/savory. I had the khao soi and I'm a khao soi expert. This recipe has pickled bok choi and it's incredible! There were incredible balanced flavors and the chicken was so tender. The egg noodles are short so you can take easy bites without making a mess... if you've had khao soi before you know it can be messy and curry stains! The only knock is the crispy noodles on top were stale.. I wish they made those fresh to order... Our coconut ice cream desert was incredible, it came in a coconut shell!! Other than that the service was a little blah, our server didn't seem very happy, I hope someone can cheer her up! The atmosphere is a little sterile too, doesn't really feel very thai.

I had dinner with a friend at Baan Siam on October 1. We both had been wanting to try this place out due to the reviews and were looking forward to our visit. While the food was great and the employees who greeted us when we arrived were very friendly, our waitress ruined our experience. We had questions about the menu and since it was busy and loud, we asked her if she could please repeat the information. She raised her voice in the most uncomfortable and unpleasant way, which was embarrassing to experience in front of the other guests and it made us not want to ask any other questions. We ordered the same drinks so we wouldn’t have to ask any questions and avoided ordering additional food. I will not be returning and it is too bad because the food was delicious and the other staff were very nice.

We left with a very bad taste in food and service. The Asian woman server there was very rude Please be polite with customers who have allergies. overall a bad experience

Pretty decent food (on the spicier side so beware), very friendly staff, good atmosphere, and reasonable prices. Also try the coconut pancake dessert… amazing

Awesome 👍

Baan Siam is really, really, really good. I love Southeast Asian food so I’ve eaten at a lot of options throughout the DMV, and Baan Siam is my favorite Thai restaurant. I recommend it often, and I’ve taken many out-of-town visitors to eat here since it’s such a unique option that’s also easy to like for anyone who’s open to Thai food. The things we order most often are the Khao Soi, the shrimp and lotus root salad, and the fried enoki mushrooms. But, I’ve tried a bunch of other stuff and haven’t had a bad dish yet. The cocktails are also great and I find that they usually have a good draft beer list.

We walked in at around 5pm on a Saturday to grab a quick dinner before a flight and were on a tight timeline. Loved the atmosphere, spices and taste of the food, and how quickly the food came out. Our server (didn't get her name unfortunately) was courteous and attentive and had great recommendations that we ended up enjoying. Would have loved to stay longer to try the mango sticky rice, but would definitely come back and enjoy a longer, more relaxed dinner
