If you’re looking for a reliable spot for Thai food in Chicago, look no further than Siam Country. Siam Country provides a somewhat familiar, yet long lost, old school Asian-American dining experience that has a unique charm and comfort. The relaxing string interpretations of older pop classics play through a speaker as koi fish circle in their tank. The owner is incredibly friendly and attentive and immediately comes to take your order as you arrive.
The menu offers up simple and delicious interpretations of all the Thai favorites. Their Pad Thai stands out as one of the best in the Lincoln Square neighborhood. It isn’t overly sweet and you can taste the subtle acidic hints of tamarind. The chicken satay appetizer had a delicate yet addicting flavor. The chicken skewers were marinated in a yellow curry sauce and served alongside a scrumptious peanut dipping sauce and a cucumber salad.
This is also a great place to get pickup or takeout food. I would recommend calling the business directly to place an order and see if you’re within the delivery radius. For those interested in taking public transit or biking, Siam Country is tucked underneath the Damen brown line stop, easily accessible by the 50 Damen bus line, and the sidewalk does offer bike parking.
