Ambient Thai restaurant offering generous portioned sized meals. Their roast duck red curry tasted delicious and hits the spot for anyone who enjoys that hint of spiciness. The siam orchid basket was crispy and each piece was coated with a nice thin layer of batter. I would have loved to try their sticky rice mango, but unfortunately mangoes were not available. Recommended.
One of Williamstown most favourite restaurants by the community, fresh authentic Thai food, served amongst well presented table settings and friendly staff. We tried it all š and didn't break the bank account
Admittedly the interior of Siam Orchid Thai Restaurant is a little dated and that in itself may be a little off-putting for some. My partner and I were in Williamstown for the weekend and decided on this restaurant as they had extremely good reviews.
Siam Orchid served a delicious array of authentic Thai dishes that made our evening even more magical. We started with the Mixed Entree, the Satay Skewers being the standout, followed by a large serving of Coconut Rice, Mussaman Beef and Chicken Pad Nammun Hoy.Ā
We finished our dishes feeling satisfied and delighted by the overall experience. Perhaps the only down-side to the evening was that they didn't have a full bar. When my partner ordered a Jim Bean and Coke, he received the premixed version as they had no spirits, other than the usual wine list.
Went here last night for a casual dinner with a friend after a craving for Thai food. Was a nice quiet place to go and that staff were very friendly apart from one person who really didn't look like they wanted to be there. We ordered roti bread with peanut sauce for an entree which took longer than it should have to come out considering how quiet the place was. To be honest, it wasn't the best tasting entree I'd ever had. The mains followed closely and were delicious. The coconut rice was amazing as were the noodles and red curry. All in all, is a great place to go for a nice meal which is very reasonably priced. Maybe it was a one off with the customer service of one of the waitresses and the time it took to bring out the entree.
Only had Siam Orchid for pick up and delivery so far, but yet to be disappointed. Staff are lovely, there's never a long wait time and it's very reasonably priced. The massuman curry is highly recommended, so too the Tom Ka Gai with its rich coconut taste!
Food is delicious! Their Thai green chicken curry is one of he best I've ever had! The decor is a bit outdated but the location, good food and friendly staff make up for that!
Walking in to the place, we certainly didn't expect this random restaurant to have given us such a great experience! Siam Orchid is your typical Thai restaurant, located along the stretch of other eateries in Williamstown. I was genuinely surprised by the food authenticity and how well priced our bill was by the end of the night. This is definitely the new favourite Thai place in my new hood! Best of all it's BYO so there you go ;)
Lots of flavour, colour and fragrance. The food here is what I would expect of a Thai restaurant. The staff are lovely and the food is great. From what I remember it's reasonably priced. Enjoy!
Good thai food in Williamstown. Service was attentive. Restaurant was busy and vibrant.
Menu includes fairly standard options, we had the whole snapper steamed with ginger and the fish was cooked beautifully, the dish would have been even bitter with some stronger flavours of sweet,sour and chilli.
Waited an hour for our mains.. but it sure was worth it! We got a few dishes and shared and everything was great. Loved the red duck curry. Would definately return here :)
Pleasant place for family dinners. Casual and comfy ambience. Good for a easy laid back dinner after a day at beach. The food is good but not great. Warm staff and good service. The Tom yum and the coconut ice cream dessert are amazing to try.
Best Ever Thai Food !!!!. This Thai restaurant is fantastic , Service , Food and Value is perfection . I cannot recommend this restaurant Highly !!!!
Fantastic you must try it one of the best restaurants in Williamstown always busy so Book in !!!
Tasty. Went for dinner, friendly staff, takes 20 mins if you order the deep fried fish. a couple of options for Thai beers. relaxing environment. worthy visiting.
Spiros & Cathy. We have been local regulars of this great Williamstown institution since 2003. The staff led by Tina a just so beautiful and wonderful. The food never disappoints and in particular am addicted to the no 44 Kao Pad Thai style fried rice and the chive type dumplings entrƩe. We are endorsing what is common knowledge as one of the best restaurants in Willi. and we hope that they are here for a very long time. They work so hard to please they deserve every success.
Love it go here all the time . Owner knows me by name when I ring up to book, so good. I've been meaning to positive review it for ages. Well deserved 10/10 !
Fresh!. I've visited Siam Orchid with a large group and another time with my husband, and both dining experiences were positive. The food is fresh, with a great variety, the service is impeccable, and it's very reasonably priced. Bookings are strongly recommended, especially for Saturday evenings.
Awesome Thai. We used to drive down to Laverton (yes Laverton, Fresh Chili Thai is the best ive every had, however over crowded), now given Siam another go, after trying it a couple of years ago, WOW. Great fresh Thai Food. Try the Penang sizzling steak, so tender, and the flavour
BEST THAI in Melbourne! Food is amazing. Pork spring rolls insanely delicious, pad ped pork full of flavour. Been going here to eat for 8 years and won't stop EVER!!!
Awesome food, great taste, will be going back for sure.
Nom nom nom!. I get Thai from Siam pretty much weekly. They offer fantastic food and great service. I can't eat Thai anywhere else, it's never as amazing!
The pad med mamuang is delicious!
Legit Thai food that tastes great and nails the sweet, salty, spicy, sour balance. The coconut rice was fluffy yet flavorsome, the stir fry chicken was like it was cooked in Thailand, and while the duck curry was a small serving, the curry was beautiful. Worth a stopover if in the area and/or craving good thai
Good authentic Thai food. I enjoyed the food here. Lots of nice fresh flavours. Service was good.
Great food, fresh flavours. Although quite crowded and very very noisy. Service was average, but overall I do recommend Siam Orchid, it's clean, fresh flavours are winners!
One of my favourite Thai restaurants, food it great, staff are polite and it's never a let down!
Fresh, affordable, fantastic. The staf are lovely, the food is fresh and tasty and it's very affordable. Highly recommend.
Very consistent excellent food. I have eaten here many times the food is always good & of a high standard, well priced. The staff are always polite, would have no hesitation recommending coming here for a meal I wish more restaurants where this consistent with quality of their meals
What a lovely meal!! I had the king prawn salad, really nice and light. 8 people and everyone loved the food

Love the food ... The must have is the Thai fried rice.. Always a good exp and fast service
Really enjoyed it. Beautiful sweet fluffy coconut rice, tasty entire of chive dumplings and a rich red chicken curry with real quality chicken breast. Good service and packed on a Saturday night. May not be street Thai food but great quality taste and good prices. Thumbs up!
Best Thai Restaurant in the WORLD!. Without a doubt! Mixed entree, seafood curry, stir fried vegtables with bean curd, 3 topping snapper, pad thai noodles, chive dumPlings. These are my favourites.
Great Thai. Have been coming here for many many years and always leave impressed
I have been to Thailand and eaten traditional Thai food many times, and some items on Siam Orchardās menu are not so traditional, but everything they do serve tastes delicious. We have always left feeling satisfied.
I have found some items a little too oily for my liking, but hey, itās Thai food!
Highly recommend.
Good Honest Aussie Thai. Our youngest calls the Siam Orchard "Akward Sam" , a term of endearment well deserved over many visits. Family friendly, the food is Thai cooked to the Australian palate. Everything is of consistently good quality at affordable prices. Nothing fancy , no bells and whistles and certainly no hatted dishes. But just the right stuff for a good, satisfying night out. Highly recommended.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm! :). Not a huge follower of Thai food, but this place has never served any food that I did not like.
Staff are polite and efficient 9/10.
Food is sensational (try the panang curry! and the coconut rice is to die for!!!!) 10/10.
Value for money 8.5/10.
Great lace overall - with the only down side being the wooden floors making the ambient volume a bit high, but in comparison to everything else - its not a concern :)
Nelson Place favorite. Polite service and value for money.
The dishes are nice. A little too westernised but still good.
Would probably go back as there is not much else worth it on Nelson Place these days.
BEST THAI IN MELBOURNE!. My partner and I have been going to Siam Orchid for years and we always bring friends and family when we get the chance because the food is always consistently great and the service is fantastic as you can really see it's run by a great family. I highly recommend the sizzling steak! Everything is great value as well.
Best Thai in Melbourne. Hubby and myself have been going to Siam for over 7 years now.. Have been to all Thai Restaurants around Melbourne and can honestly say that this one place is the best by far! This might sound weird but one of the reasons why i love this place so much is that meat and poultry that they use in their dishes is never fatty - by that i mean ive never had the unfortunate experience at Siam of having to bite into a piece of chicken gristle within my Panang Curry! For me, the slightest bit of fat or gristle in my food will put me off the entire meal!
The services is great, the owners are more than friendly and very welcoming and make us feel very welcomed every time we dine here. Prices are average and have never been disappointed with the food!
Look at the other reviews too, public opinion says it all. I have to say that this touristy part of Williamstown has very little to recommend it with respect to food on the whole. Over priced and poor quality have been the Richo family experience.
Siam Orchid is a notable exception to the above rule. We actually hadn't been there since the baby Richo was in utero nearly five years ago, but it was a consistent favourite back then. We returned with baby Richo very much in vivo and had a really good meal. Nothing fancy, just good solid curries, noodle dishes. The deep fried offerings were only mediocre (spring rolls, prawns etc) but we all came out feeling well satisfied and full. The brisk take-away business attests to a sound local reputation. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
Great Food. This is my favourite Thai restaurant. The satay chicken skewers are outstanding but all the food is really very good. The service is attentive if not the friendliest around. The meals are very well priced. I advise you book, it is always packed out.
One of the best eats on Nelson Place. Some of the best Thai food I have ever had. Siam Orchid is always packed out whenever I go. The chicken yellow curry is to die for- make sure you order it with coconut rice and some roti.
Not the most friendly staff I have seen; not so much rude, but they do seem very disinterested and unhappy. However don't let that get in the way of a good feed.
Great Thai food, best coconut rice
Love the food and service. Love the food, especially the curry puffs. Our waiter, David, was very nice, polite and good looking,
The food was really nice however their table service is not that crash hot. I'll be back though because the food was good!!!
Visited on Saturday evening with friends. The food is very tasty,well priced and the servings very ample. A must to visit.
I have missed the exceptional but yet affordable Thai restaurants in Sydney since moving to Melbourne a year ago. Hence imagine my ecstacy when I was introduced to Siam Orchid by a friend and I almost felt like I was dining in Newtown again. Tasteful decor, swift efficient service and the noise level was surprisingly acceptable for a busy Saturday night. The mains were well-timed and came all at once. We had roast duck red curry, grilled pork, fish with 3-flavoured sauce and papaya salad. Each dish was bang-on for the money and flavour. This is easily the best Thai food I have had in Melbourne for less than $25 per person.
I love the food everytime I go there! It is the same perfect standard everytime I just love the food so so so
Amazing food, reasonable value. Service seemed a bit slow, but the quality of the food and staff friendliness overcame that.
I have eaten here for over 6 years. I have found the service extremely good and polite. They always greet me by name and remember our order as well. There food is always of a extremely high standard and I must say I have never had a bad experience here. I recommend this very highly for food and service..
It's changed hands. Vegetarian/vegan restaurant, not cheap but good. Loved our desserts. Can't remember the new name right now.
