If you're looking for high-quality food, this is THE place. Authentic food that is made with fresh vegetables - by the time you're done, you'll be beyond satisfied and your stomach will certainly thank you. If you're from London or even further than London, take the drive to St Thomas - this food is 200% worth it. 👍

We loved Le Cafe Siam! The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. The service was extremely friendly, provided great recommendations and helpful in handling our 2 young children. The kids loved watching the resident fish. We will be back for sure.

I was craving for Tom yum Goong soup. It was perfectly cooked. All veggie and shrimps were fresh. The service was great with a very sweet woman. Very recommended place.

Why is this establishment in St. Thomas, Ontario, rather than in the celestial realms serving the Gods? Regardless of the culinary genre, this hidden gem on Talbot Street epitomizes authenticity. Never before have I experienced cuisine with such a harmonious blend of flavors. The ambiance is both warm and inviting, with decor that is a feast for the eyes. The food is absolutely extraordinary, showcasing meticulous attention to detail in both preparation and presentation. My respect to the chefs is immense; it is abundantly clear that they are masters of their craft. I am utterly astounded and fervently recommend this restaurant to any aficionado of Thai cuisine. This is not your run-of-the-mill eatery; this is luxury gourmet dining at Kentucky Fried Chicken prices. The staff was exceedingly gracious, and even the ice cream seemed to be divinely inspired. Thank you for the wonderful time and experience good sirs and mams. I will be returning soon :)

I am compelled to write my first review after dining with Le Cafe Siam. Food was delicious and authentic, ambiance was tasteful and represents the rich culture, people who run this place are a lovely family who treat their customers with great warmth and hospitality. As Asians we struggle to find a good Thai place and this is the best spring roll and pad Thai we’ve ever had in our 5 years in Canada. James the co-owner & co-chef is super knowledgeable about Thai food and it’s history. He and his brother cook with love and hold a high standard of the food quality and authenticity without compromise. We ordered 4 dishes and another to take home. Will definitely be coming back.

Enjoyed a delicious dinner at Le Cafe Siam. The atmosphere was just right - the restaurant was perfectly lit, relaxing music playing overhead and just a hint of conversation from other patrons. We were seated promptly, and had a few moments to peruse the menu over drinks. From appetizers to our main course, the food was exquisite. Amazing care was put into every dish, and the tastes and flavors were so enjoyable. Due to traveling, my wife and I have dined out a lot over the past couple of weeks, but this by far was the best dining experience we have had. If you're in the London / St. Thomas area, do yourself a favor, and try them.

This was a perfect day-time getaway from the hustle and bustle of life. I went here for a lunch date with my wife and we both loved it. The restaurant is absolutely stunning inside with artifacts straight from Thailand. Tables for 2 with a window view of Talbot Street and a picturesque interior design. We spoke to the owner James and he told us all about coming from Thailand and importing all the designs and artifacts around the restaurant. The food was amazing. Very authentic and delicious. Hands down the best green curry I've had in Canada. After a great meal we tried to pay and the owner was apologetic because of a single missing ingredient from the meals we ate. Don't worry a single ingredient didn't change the outcome of the meal! The meal was amazing and I will definitely be coming back.

I often jump back and forth between this and the other thai place in town (lotus Thai). Both great restaraunts. My regular order is about the same price at both places. Cafe Siam: - the food tastes more authentic, slightly fresher - portion sizes are a bit smaller - more flavor Lotus Thai: - food is a bit more bland, more so the fried rice and pad Thai - larger portion sizes - spring rolls are the best - somewhat greasy compared to Siam If I had a choice I would combine Siams flavors and freshness, with Lotus Thais portion sizes and spring rolls. Both A+ in their own way

True hidden gem in such a small town! I had ordered Pad Thai (veg option) and I loved everything about this place! Must try if you live around or just passing by. Personally, it was worth the drive of 50 km two-way. Parking: 2 hrs parking on street from Mon to Sat until 06.00 pm.

Some of, if not THE best Thai food I ve had outside of Thailand. Very authentic dishes. The Pad Thai and the Massaman are outstanding. Looking forward to trying other dishes. Panang is next. Atmosphere is very nice and the service is excellent in this small, family-run affair. I don t think St Thomas knows what kind of gem they have here.

My husband and I had dinner tonight at Cafe Siam. Everything was delicious. We had shrimp wraps as appetizer, mushroom and scallions with shrimp over jasmine rice, and shrimp pad thai. Can never have too much shrimp! There was not a dessert menu but Grace said the chef would make something he had been trying out which was vanilla ice cream infused with whiskey topped off with little candied medallions of his creation (I can t remember her exact description). So uniquely tasty. We loved it. Cozy atmosphere for intimate dining. Great service. Highly recommend this restaurant.

First time dining in today. Restaurant was beautiful and cozy inside. Staff was friendly and super helpful when choosing our order. Ordered the Authentic Pad Thai which is the best pad Thai Ive ever had! Looking forward to many more meals here! Parking: Street parking in front. Possibly parking available at rear but Ive never needed it as street spots are always available. Kid-friendliness: Has an upscale feel to it but its a family run business and sometimes their young daughter makes an appearance for a super cute mid meal interlude haha!

My husband and I went to Le Café Siam last night for the first time and we were very impressed. It is a cute, cozy place, very intimate and romantic and nicely decorated. The owners brought a small piece of Bangkok in our St.Thomas town. Service was impeccable; Grace and Megan were wonderful, quick, polite, patient and most importantly, they knew their food ! We were indecisive due to the many options they have, and we went with what it was suggested: amazing ! Very tasty, ton of flavors it reminded us the time spend in Thailand. The food is very authentic ! We are already planning to go back and try different things. See you soon. Thank you for accommodating us on a busy night. Parking: Parking in front of the restaurant.

Honestly the best Thai food anywhere except maybe Thailand. Everything is made completely fresh to order and takes time accordingly.

I had to update my review because my family and I have been coming here for years! This is the only place to go for Thai food. The food is always delicious and fresh, the quality is second to none. Everything on the menu is delicious, Ive tried probably 85% of the menu. My favorites are the spring rolls, papaya salad, green curry, and green curry fried rice (yes i love green curry). The owners are wonderful. They always put a smile on my face with their delicious food AND humor. They also really care about and support the St. Thomas and surrounding community. We will keep coming back for years to come.

December 23, 2023

First time food was good. Second time the 2 curry dishes were horrible. They were so watered down they had zero flavour and were undercooked, the veggies were still raw. The hot sauce was so salty I vomited. Not sure if its worth trying again. What really sucks is first time was not bad.

We had take out. The flavor was good but the ingredients of the meal were less than appealing... We ordered red curry and the only vegetable was slices of mostly green and some red peppers that were uncooked. We were very disappointed. It came highly recommended but now apparently new owners have changed the menu. We will not eat here again.

Le Cafe Siam never disappoints. I ve brought many family and friends here over the last 15 years and not one of them had a bad experience. Favourite dish is yellow curry.

Our team of 12 ordered take out for a dinner meeting we had last week. Each month we choose a different independent restaurant in the city. Supporting local is important to us. Le Cafe Siam will definitely be on our repeat list. Everything was perfect! Our large order was filled with care and enthusiasm. The food was absolutely delicious and all 12 meals were devoured. The service was amazing. You can tell that their little restaurant is their pride and joy. From the smiles on their faces and their warm demeanour; to the delicious, well executed dishes on their menu, Le Cafe Siam truly cares about your dining experience with them. If you haven t been, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Le Cafe Siam, we will be back! First Optometry Dietary restrictions: I have a shellfish allergy but am unable to have a lot of the dishes (shrimp, shrimp paste etc). They took the time to ask me what I liked and customized a dish to suit my needs. They also suggested a dish I could try in the future. Thank you for truly listening and for treating my allergy as a creative challenge instead of a nuisance.

Our first visit to Le Cafe Siam, wow, what a great little restaurant. From the moment we entered the restaurant. We were welcomed by our waitress. She was very knowledgeable on the food and drinks. Told us about some of the local craft beers they had available and gave us some information on the food and they could add or take away from some of the dishes if we didnt like something. We ordered Spring rolls for an appetizer, Cashew Chicken for one of the mains and the other main was Tropical fried rice, plus a side order of coconut rice. Everything was delicious. The service was also perfect, very attentive but not in your face. This will not be our last visit.

Good small atmosphere.the thai tea and spring rolls were amazing. I ordered the papaya salad and it was bland and had no spice to it. The curry was a bit bland and the pad Thai tastes like it was just fried in soy sauce and oyster sauce with no tamarind paste. Authentic atmosphere but not the food. All the authentic thai flavours ( lemongrass, chillies, galangal, tamarind etc) were just water down and bland. Definitely catered to the Caucasian crowd. i should have known since i was the only Asian in the restaurant the whole time. Stil on the quest for authentic Thai food in SWO.

This place, is like home. I ve gone to Le Café Siam: Thai Cuisine for over 15 years. I can t say enough about it. I ve tried a lot of their dishes over that time - and I don t think I can say one bad thing about the food, company, or staff. All of the books, history and stories. They have real items decorated all over the restaurant from Thailand. We re so lucky to have a place like Le Café Siam in St.Thomas - and I feel like there s still a lot of people that need to experience the culinary abilities that go on in the kitchen. Feels like you ve travelled across the world. I ve even gotten my wife now onto it, and she s super picky especially with different/unique dishes. One of her favourite dishes is glass noodle & yellow curry powder. She mostly orders it with an add on of shrimp. It s her go to. She also likes the soups, and shrimp wraps. And for myself, my most popular are Pad Thai, Soya-sauce & Chinese broccoli noodle, any of their curries, apps and soups. When I was younger we would always get Cashew Chicken, and coconut steamed rice. I wish I had pictures from everything I ve had. I usually dig right in and forget when it s too late to even think about it. Everything that they do, is done in house and authentic as it can possibly be, fresh daily And that s really hard to find, especially for the price. This place is truly a gem. 10/10. Pictured is the Pad Thai added shrimp, Chicken wings, and hand rolled spring rolls.

I was traveling through from out of town. They had empty tables in their dining room but refused to serve me in the restaurant. I asked if I could order take out and sit down at one of their tables and eat it. No. I was given no reason other than they didnt feel like it. Based on the other reviews their food must be very good. Its a shame this hospitality business no longer offers any hospitality. I am leaving St. Thomas feeling unwelcomed with no desire to come this way again.

I started out last year wondering about this place. My wife and I would always talk about it, but we never ordered. We decided to take the plunge one day and got their Pad Thai. It was hands down the best Pad Thai I have ever eaten. They have a good lengthy menu, so we have worked around it a little bit and have yet to be disappointed. The wife and I agree, the Number 41 dish is amazing! We won t go anywhere else for Thai. I can t wait until the day Covid is gone, or non existent so they can open up Dine In! One word of advice. If you want to get food from here. Call when they open as they get slammed pretty quickly! Will be back time and time again! Thanks Le Cafe Siam Family for always making our experience the best it can be! We went back again! Tonight we were invited to Le Café Siam: Thai Cuisine for dine in! They open in about 2 weeks or so for dine in for anyone wondering. (I think James Issara just wanted some practice) His daughter was our lovely waitress as you ll see in the pictures! (Posted with permission) Kept us smiling! We had planned to get out for our anniversary dinner for the last month or so, but had been super busy. Where to start? We started with Chicken Satay - Chicken Strips skewered and grilled, topped with a peanut sauce and served with a dipping tray. This was one of my wife s favourite appetizers! The peanut sauce felt so fresh and inviting and really popped with flavour! Very enjoyable! Saltyish with a hint of sweet in my opinion. We also got Kai Tod - Small Chicken Wings deep fried with herbs and garlic! It came with a Thai sweet and hot sauce. The wings were crispy, and succulent and the dipping sauce paired very nicely with them! We would get both of them again! From there we moved to the main course and decided to branch out a bit. My wife got the Pra Rama Lhong Song (Rama in the River) - it was a Sweet and salty sauce with rice (rice scooped in) and Broccoli and peppers. I enjoyed it, but maybe found it a bit sweet. (We switched meals) My wife was eyeing my Pineapple Curry with Pork. She found it quite delicious and that s why we both agreed to switch. I found it too sweet for me. It was still very good, all of it! James made our favourite for us to have/take home. The 41! Some even call it the 21! Whoon Sen Pad Phong Karee - which in English translates to Deliciousness. Just kidding! It should though! We got it with Pork and Shrimp. Utterly amazing! James and Megan Issara came out with Dessert after! Donuts with a condensed milk and it was warm, light and paired perfectly with the Chai Tea which was served warm and I thought was utterly amazing! Sweet and warm in a cool night with window seats! What more could you ask for in a cozy shop that has been revamped? Beautiful floors, new table tops, decor showing the beautiful Thai heritage. 100/10! When you get a chance, don t delay! Book those reservations. it s about the only way you ll get a spot! Let me tell you! It s worth it!!

Fantastic Thai food in downtown St. Thomas believe it or not! The best Thai food anywhere around here and London! There vegetables are always fresh, we love their curries. Coconut rice is super tasty! Big portions and great prices! Oh, and their Tom Yum soup is very unique and packed with different flavours!

Let me start by saying this is hands down the best Thai food I have had since I lived in Markham or Vancouver. My husband and I had tried this restaurant once years ago when we first moved to the area and had been wildly underwhelmed wth the rather... Westernized food. However we noticed tonight that their menu seemed to have changed since the last time we tried it, and we decided to try it again. We were certainly not disappointed! The food was delicious (and beautiful) as well as being far more authentic than anything else I have been able to get in the area. My husband I and had the red and yellow curries respectively, and both were delicious (though I would say there was far less heat than I am used to. I may ask if I can get things spicier next time) The service was very helpful and polite, and the covid pickup was streamlined and easy! I would definitely say if you are in the London area and craving some good Thai food, this is the place for you!

Visited on a recommendation from a friend from London whos spent time in Thailand, and who goes to St Thomas for take away. Ordered pad Thai, yellow curry, satay chicken, spring rolls, and beef with broccoli and oyster sauce, and it was beyond expectations. We will be back. THANK YOU!!

They made a fundraiser for our local outreach and I had the opportunity to taste one of their take out dishes, Holy Basil Pork with a side of rice and a bit of veggies. It was absolutely delicious! When my husband went to pick up our order he was very impressed with the friendly owner who is also a collector. We cant wait for things to open up so we can dine in!! Highly recommended.

First, I wish I had taken better pictures but when I smelled the food, I just couldn t focus! Let s start with the Coconut Rice, which is made perfectly with the right amount of stickiness and a hint of fresh coconut. The moment we opened the box, the fresh sweet smell of coconut burst into the air and filled the house. It was fluffy with the right amount of sweetness just a savoury wonderland on its own. Second, let s talk about the Pad Thai boy am I glad that this is the second time I ve ever had Pad Thai in my life and it was a heavenly experience! The peanuts are so fresh, they burst out too when you open the box! The aromas, the flavour, the onions, the noodles, down to the smallest detail was truly wonderful. I am not exaggerating! Last but absolutely not least and incredibly highly recommended and an absolute must try is the Kang Supparod Pineapple Curry Oy Vey! Now I know for a fact that I have to travel to Thailand to try their food in person because this curry alone had a world of flavours that is far to amazing to be able to put in words. I could probably just eat that for the next 20 years and be the happiest person on earth. Great job! The hype is real, this is THE spot for Thai food in Southern Ontario. Highly recommended and I will 100% return to try every single thing on their menu. Great job!

In my opinion, the best Thai food in Canada. Definitely in my top 5 restaurants. My partner and I have been to Thailand, learned to cook the food and I can safely say that this is the definition of real Thai food. If you havent tried it, get the massaman curry. You wont regret it. The service is prompt and when it isnt busy, they are usually happy to tell the stories of the dishes. When its busy, they arent as warm, but Ive never been treated with anything less than respect. To be honest, they could do everything but spit on me and I would still eat here, the food is THAT good.

This was our first and last experience at Le Cafe Siam. The food is fresh, delicious and authentic thai food, but the service is SO terrible which is a deal breaker for us. To keep it simple for anyone else, do not try to customize your dish in any way, shape or form. What you see on their menu is what you get and if you have any food allergies or an intolerance to spicy food, we highly recommend going elsewhere because they do not care. We called two days ahead and we had to call 17 different times before someone answered.

Cafe Siam does not water down their food to local taste buds. Yes, they have adjusted some, but not enough to remove from the awesome Thai cuisine.

I just love Le Cafe Siam. If you want to have Friday or Saturday take-out dinner make sure you call early. Quite often it gets so busy that they just cant fit in any more take-out orders. Which is a bummer, but just goes to show you how AWESOME the food is.

Le Cafe Siam is my most favourite restaurant of all time. Their cashew chicken and coconut rice are to die for. But I have also tried some of their other dishes and not one fails to satisfy. And, comparatively, the price range is very reasonable for such quality food. Just make sure you make a reservation ahead of time. Due to the fact that they are a favourite restaurant for alot of people, the facility is often filled to capacity.
