Siam Smiles in Matawan - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Meh. Very average. We have given this establishment 3 tries and we are done. The pad Thai is dry as can be. We had to add water to try and sauce it up just a little. The chicken is so dry it tasted microwaved, you know that dry overcooked texture. The sticky rice with mango is expensive and what you’ll get is half an underripe mango with a tablespoon sized heap of rice. Seems nice inside, everyone has been friendly to us. We’ve had some pretty amazing Thai food in NYC so maybe our bar has been set too high, but this just isn’t it. Oh well.

Great service and super delicious and authentic Thai food. After teaching English in Thailand 🇹🇭 and living there for over a year, I sometimes crave great Thai food. Siam Smiles did an excellent job! This visit for lunch I had a spring roll, Thai iced tea, crispy duck soup, and mango with sticky rice for dessert. Everything was amazing. I will definitely be back! The employees were super friendly as well - wonderful service.

It just gets better and better!

Sooo, we started eating and then I remembered oh yea, let me take pictures. Quick trip to NJ and found this gem. I will definitely return if I am ever in the area again. Good, flavorful food, cozy and friendly environment.

Very comfortable atmosphere, impeccable service, and delicious Thai food here in the West! Kudos 👏🏻

So great!! We really wanted pad Thai but didn’t want to make it. So we tried this place for pick up. And it was so delicious and competitively priced when I was looking. The interior is cool also. Really good. My new pad Thai place

🌟Best Thai food I eaten in New Jersey and my favorite hidden gem in Matawan. 🌟 This was the first time my friend and I tried Siam Smiles. Ohm, our waiter was really warm and welcoming. He helped us with all our questions and warned us how spicy their food are. We stick to mildly spicy for our order and glad we did. The menu has a unique layout and easy to read. We can tell they put a lot of thought and care on how food is presented based on the Thailand flag on our appetizers and how all our orders was on a replica of woven bamboo plates. My friend and I ordered Thai ice tea, chicken curry puffs, duck buns, duck noodles, calamari pad Thai, and Tom yum pizza. My favorite was the duck noodles and chicken curry puff. Everything was jam packed with flavor. We definitely recommend this place and will be back.

Good food . Ohm is very nice and helpful. Nice new thai place. Love the curry puff♡

Siam Smiles is fantastic, we absolutely love it there and have become regulars. The food is so delicious that we drive a half an hour to go there. The staff is so friendly and attentive, highly recommend this hidden gem in Matawan!

I had the chicken basil fried rice and Thai iced coffee. It was very delicious and the staff are very welcoming and nice! I had the chicken pad Thai last time as well and it was also great!

Exceptional service and top rated food. The guys are great and are so accommodating.

Absolutely stellar experience! I was originally nervous about trying a new place, however I was more than pleasantly surprised here! I saw their duck noodle soup and went to try it, but even as the server explained it was a lunch special and I wasn't in the timeframe she offered to ask the chef if they could perhaps make it anyway. I ended up ordering the duck over noodles and was cautioned it was spicy, which was a blessing to me who doesn't do spice well! She put in the order to be more mild for me, and when I asked for rice she asked me if I wanted it even though my main dish came with rice. These are both considerations a normal server wouldn't think of doing. Most just take your order and nod, and the consequence is yours if you didn't realize. Additionally she was more than attentive on keeping my water full- no need to call over. I tried this place because next door was a line to get in, and honestly I'm more than glad I did and will be coming back!

Best Thai food I’ve ever had! Would highly recommend if you’re in the area. We live in CT and are sad we can’t come more often. Pad thai and curry are what we had and were excellent but I’m sure everything else is great. Service was also wonderful - so friendly, welcoming, and funny. Thank you for a wonderful surprise!

Great customer service and yummy food

Past few times I ordered the Duck soup there was a few tiny shreds of Duck. Insulting. I mean For 20$ they can put some duck in the soup. Skimping on Duck.

Great food and great service. My only complaint is I wish they would pack the to go rice container a little more. Other than that food is fantastic!

Food was good and staff were very friendly!

The food is great. Love the curry puffs and mango sticky rice.

The food was very flavorful and tasty, I recommend dining here.

Had take-out from Siam Smiles. Ordered the Tom Kha wings, chicken pad Thai with fried chicken, and chicken Pad Khing. The wings were tasty. Nicely cooked with a flavorful gooey sauce covering them. The pad Thai was very, very dry and completely bland. Like they didn’t have enough pad Thai sauce and just gave me plain rice noodles. I had to add soy sauce, lemon juice, and chili oil, and it still wasn’t very good. The fried chicken was also sooo dry- way over cooked. Seemed like it had been cooked hours ago and sat under a heat lamp or something. My husband said the pad khing was “okay, good amount of ginger”.

Some of the best Thai food I’ve had since attending The Culinary Institute of America and living in the Hudson Valley and living in Louisiana for a year and going to Thai and Lao festivals. The Papaya Salad was one of the best Thai papaya salads I’ve had. The Turnip Cake Pad Thai was phenomenal, as was the Duck Noodles. Even the Coconut Custard for dessert was amazing. So good, definitely plan to go back and bring friends!

🌟 Dive into a world of flavors at Siam Smiles! 🍜✨ Indulge in authentic Thai cuisine that will transport your taste buds to the bustling streets of Bangkok! From aromatic curries to sizzling stir-fries, they got something to tantalize every palate. Visit them for a culinary adventure and let their dishes speak for themselves! #SiamSmiles #ThaiFood #AuthenticFlavors 🇹🇭🍴

Excellent food and especially our server Oho. He described the dishes perfectly. Very fresh and authentic meal. 10/10 recommend

Delicious and innovative food! I loved the tom yum "pizza" and the turnip cake pad Thai. We'll be back for sure!

Great Thai food in the area. We were a little nervous when the management changed recently and some menu items changed, but the new management has really picked up the baton and is running it well. They are also very accommodating for gluten free.

Fantastic food and service! We crispy duck in tamarind sauce is a must get. Couldn’t believe it was also boneless. Pad Thai, the mixed vegetables in peanut sauce and mango sticky rice were also phenomenal. Will be back again soon!

Delicious food. Excellent service.

Just had their curry puffs. Run don’t walk cause they’re that good!!!! Shrimp with red curry - yummmmmy!

We wanted to try a new place, on a Sunday evening, and choose Siam Smiles. What a great new find this was! We were greeted by Ohm who was very attentive, friendly, and has an awesome outgoing sense of humor. He was really attentive and happy, and continued to joke with us all night. We had the veg glass noodle soup (Jerd Woonsen), Pad Cashew (chicken, cashews, and veg in a light sauce), and mild Pad Preaw Whan (shrimp, veg, and more in a sweet and sour sauce). All these meals were unique, light, and tasted INCREDIBLE! We will be back... it has everything we could have asked for! Take a chance and you'll agree! Really REALLY fantastic meals, staff, and atmosphere!

Very very impressed with the service and blown away by how good the food was

My son Lucas loves this place almost as much as my wife and I. Great food and great service

The best Thai food we’ve had in the state of NJ. Their food (this covers so many dishes from their menu) is consistently made with amazing flavors and their owners are so nice and friendly. Never an issue with orders - whether pick-up through their website or dining-in. If you’re in the area, you’d be missing out terribly if you didn’t give this spot a shot.

We have been coming here for years but have not been back since the new owners took over. Honestly, we loved the OG Siam Smiles but the new owners have really stepped up the food and even the decor. We ordered curry puffs, fresh rolls, drunken noodles, ginger tofu. Honestly, we loved the original owner but I do think they have added a new level of complexity to the food. We eat a lot of Thai and are quite picky and this is one of the tops place in Jersey. Big plus because they can make most of the menu gluten free. So you won’t be stuck eating Pad Thai EVERY meal!!!!!

It was a very friendly welcome. It was a Sunday when we visited. It was very quiet. For a few seconds we thought that was the sign of food not being good. Turns out we were wrong. The food was delicious. Very authentic taste. Staff was heard speaking their native language, this is always a good sign when eating ethnic food. Also, the hot tea came in a cast iron kettle. A place that presents your tea in this manner has respect for the tea life. This is alway a positive sign for us. We had the traditional pad Thai and yellow curry. We also had one of their soups. Everything was delicious. It all tasted fresh. Spices were authentic. It did not taste like an American take on Thai food. We will be returning and would certainly recommend. The parking is in the back of the building. There was no rear entry so we just walked around to the front of the building.

Food was prepared with fresh ingredients. Perfectly seasoned. Some of the best Thai food I have had in this area.

After spending a month in South East Asia, I can tell you that this is the most authentic and delicious Thai food I have had outside of south east Asia. This place is my go-to restaurant for lunch. Highly recommended.

Takeout of chicken red curry, Pad Kee Mao(drunken noodle) and Pad Kratiem Prik Tai. Food was delicious, we could handle the spice level so we ordered Prik Tai hot and it was ok spicy. It took some time to pickup so order in advance as restaurant seem pretty busy. People running the place are very nice, but it took some time to order the dishes on the phone.

Our first visit was for lunch. The food was excellent! We would rate this place as our top Thai restaurant in Monmouth county. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Will return with friends.

wow - thai fried rice took me back to Bangkok. highly recommended

Drunken noodles are very flavorful! Very authentic Thai restaurant. Staff is friendly. Would recommend.

Good food with good service highly recommended

Absolutely love this restaurant! The food is authentic and delicious, and the service is great! We can’t recommend it enough!

My husband, toddler, and I stopped in here tonight for the first time to eat some dinner. We were brown away by the food and customer service. We got pad Thai, pad see ew, and Siam rice. Every dish was delicious, particularly the rice. The employees were beyond nice and friendly. We will definitely be back to try more dishes and support this restaurant. 5 stars all around!

Quite improved food quality compared to years back.

Great food and awesome service! Drunken noodles and papaya salad were amazing!!! Will definitely come back!

Kind service good food and nice music. Look forward to coming back

Experience the warm and welcoming service, accompanied by genuine smiles. Indulge in the delightful flavors of dishes that come close to the authenticity of Thailand's finest cuisine. Our top recommendation is the delectable Duck Salad, elegantly served in an edible crispy bowl, a true treat for your taste buds. For a unique twist, don't miss out on the enticing Thai Tom Yum pizza - a fusion delight that's bound to impress.

Went to Siam Smiles and ordered the chicken satay (best I ever had), pad kee mao and the Siam healthy dish (husband eating a little lighter but still tasty!). Service was excellent, the ambiance was pleasant and the food was delicious! Definitely going back.

Excellent Thai food. Waiters are always nice. We went there several times now and are always delighted.

The place, overall is not bad. Some appetizers we had were above average. That's pretty much all the positives though. The entrees themselves were not the best and would definitely say they were below average. At the same time, the place was quite expensive for the quality. Would be willing to try again at some point

Authentic Thai restaurant, they can alternate the spicy level according to your request. Try their Pad Thai, Green Papaya Salad and House Fired Rice...... also their appetizers.

A great place. Ambience, food, service all were excellent. Take out and Dine in. Great for date night too.

Food is incredible service is amazing.

we had a great experience. the service was great. waiter took care of us so well. water was always filled. he made sure the food was perfect to our liking. the food was great. leaving comments on what we ordered below. will definitely come back again. thai iced tea: 10/10 got four of them lol so yummy not too sweet just sweet enough tom yum chicken wings (medium plus spicy): 8/10 not that spicy for me but very yummy sauce perfect size wings veggie spring rolls: 10/10 crispy good size ones sauce was so good asked for extra lol beef pad kee mao (medium spice and hot spice): 10/10 these are also known as drunken noodles medium spice was perfect for us hot was HOT they are not shy with it but i personally loved it good mix of veggies too (peppers, onions, mushrooms)

Great food at great prices. Only Thai restaurant in the area. Hope you will try them once. I’m sure you’ll keep coming back!

What a pleasant experience. Every time. Quiet, quaint atmosphere with a very welcoming staff. They will take their time to explain the menu or if you have any questions, or if you are just completely undecided or overwhelmed with the menu (beautiful menus btw). I order takeout from here often and it never disappoints, and pretty reasonably priced for quality Thai. Some menu items I enjoy from Siam Smiles are: Red Curry (veggie and chicken), Pad See Ew (chicken), and Pra Ram. Highly recommend all three. Go visit these guys, you won’t regret it. Thank you, Siam Smiles! 🙂🙂

Great choice of music, atmosphere, customer service! The food is fresh, generous portions and delicious is an understatement!!! If you love Thai foods, this is THE PLACE !!!!!

Really great food and fast service me and my family will definitely come back and eat here. Best Thai food I've ever had. Really authentic and very delicious

My husband and I love this place. We try to get her in there at least twice a week if we could go every day we would but unfortunately we have to cook at home sometime lol I love their food always fresh delicious, and a very pleasant Time every time the stuff is great they treat us like gold can’t say enough❤️❤️❤️

The service was impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend Siam Smiles. Just remember if you like it Hot it’s Hot! Enjoy!

YUM. This place is the real deal. Nicest owner ever and the best pad Thai I’ve ever had. Delicious and fresh! Highly recommend.

Very courteous service, delicious meals, good prices. BYOB and a liquor store immediately next door.

One of the best Thai restaurants we have tried in last 25 years. And welcoming staff.

Love love love. Excellent food and service. Very clean!!

Picked up take out on my way home. Love me some Thai ginger stir fry and red curry!

Overall one of my favorite Thai restaurants near Old Bridge. The Food is very good, but the customer service is okay.

BEST AUTHENTIC THAI RESTAURANT IN NJ! New ownership as of fall 2022, and Thai lovers this restaurant is a must go to! I’ve tried so many Thai restaurants in NJ, and this place is by far the best one I’ve been to! The owners are warm and welcoming here too. So far I had the Mango chicken dinner, Pla Sam Rod, and Salmon in Choo Chee Curry. All the dinners were DELICIOUS! If you never tried Choo Chee Curry you have to try it! It’s a sweet and creamy curry, and it tastes AMAZING! If you want salmon or shrimp instead of the red snapper it comes with on the menu they can make it with the seafood of your choice. Make sure you try their Thai iced tea here. It’s so good! I absolutely love Siam Smiles. I Highly recommend dining at Siam Smiles in Matawan!

I ordered shrimp Pad Thai to go. Portions are good for 2 persons. The food tasted authentic (I have been to Bankok so I believe im qualified to offer my opinion on the matter). Staff are friendly and welcoming. I will definitely come back to this place when I visit Matawan again.

Please run don’t walk to support this small business it is top notch. Second visit this time done in. Food was amazing this time had the Tom Kha with shrimp. Absolutely delicious. Then I had the Siam noodles w shrimp no spice. Fantastic. Portions are bigger than the previous owners. Last time my take out was very spicy for a (3) but still awesome. These new owner really sweet welcoming and they scrubbed this place clean!A bit of redecorating and again even take out portions are larger. Everything was great just keep in mind spice for my take out I orders spice level 3 (1-5 scale). It was spicy! I powered through because it was that great. Looking forward to having this place on the weekly rotation so good.

Had lunch here. They were super nice. Foods not only taste great but it was a big dish with very reasonable price. Will be back for sure.

Take away was fast and delicious! Person that took our long, complicated order did such a perfect job.

Nice vibe and tasty food. Presentation was excellent too. I’d frequent this place if I lived nearby.

This restaurant got new owners in October of 2022 and the menu is soooo much better. They redid the dining room as well and it's a very nice dining experience. Comfortable music and good atmosphere. I absolutely recommend you give them a try. You won't be disappointed!

This Thai place is worth checking out. 👀 Every dish I’ve had here has so much unique flavor and taste. The classic Pad Thai dish packs a punch in each bite with their homemade sauce. My favorite was the Red Curry entree because you could taste the hint of basil and coconut.🍛 If you feel like treating yourself to dessert, the Sticky Rice with Mango was simple yet deliciously authentic.🥭 I highly recommend this place as the new owner will not disappoint your taste buds. The service is friendly and attentive. 😊

First time ordering and it was delicious!! Arrived quickly and perfectly hot. Fried app wasn’t soggy and everything was awesome! Definitely will order again!

Delicious Thai food with large portions! The staff was friendly! I got the Duck noodles which was super good and had a good amount of duck.

Best take out we have had in a long time. We ate everything we ordered no leftovers. Highly recommend.

Have come back since the new ownership and I can say the food is just as delicious.

Made an impromptu stop at this Thai restaurant for lunch and really had a great meal. The staff were accommodating and polite. Food was very tasty (spicy though, even when mild) and portions were large. Restaurant was unpretentious and pleasant. Not usually in this area but would definitely go back again. Recommend.

Just picked up a to go order and definitely found a new Thai spot! Got the pad Thai, pad see ew, and the massaman curry. Everything was hot and delicious! Can't wait to try their other stuff!

Dined here for the first time a few days ago and loved it! The decor and music are great but the best part is the food and incredibly friendly and helpful service. We shared a few laughs with the staff and appreciated their recommendations. Already planning to go back again very, very soon.

Siam Smiles is under new ownership as of October 1, 2022 so any reviews before that time are obsolete. We went on a cold day with some friends for lunch. This is a small strip center restaurant. The appetizers were plentiful for sharing and had good flavor. The Calamari Laab was sauteed just right and the the seasoning had just the right amount of flavor and heat.. The fresh roll and spring roll were also well flavored. Our lunch dishes were also plentiful and you can request the amount of heat you would like the dishes to have. Two of us had the Seafood Noodle dish - one mild and mine very hot. This is a noodle soup with shrimp, calamari, fish and lots of noodles. I would have liked a little less noodles and more broth and maybe a little bit more heat, but totally enjoyed the dish. My wife had the Pad Thai very mild. The dish still had a nice flavor and was more than enough for lunch. My friends and I enjoyed our lunch and would recommend this restaurant to all. Remember, reviews before 10/1/22 are obsolete since there is new ownership.

Seasoning was perfect on everything I had. Smaller than expected portion on apps but also not as expensive as other Thai restaurants. The flavor is perfect, service was great.

Ordered cashew chicken takeout from here tonight and I've found my new favorite Thai place in the area! The vegetables were fresh and cooked well, and the flavors were spot on. My order was ready quickly and the staff was so nice when I came in to pick it up. Can't wait to come back and try my other favorites!

Delicious food and great service. We will be back!

My husband and I absolutely love this place. We followed them from Highland Park because the food is delicious and the service is great! My favorite is Basil Thai Fried Rice with Chicken and my husband loves their Pad Kra Pao with Squid! 😊

What a great place the food was so delicious . I would definitely go back.

Wonderful atmosphere, service and flavor. Ordered Thai hot spice and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend.

The food was absolutely amazing! Authentic Thai with excellent flavor.

This is a wonderful small business. The service is very friendly and I really enjoyed my Pad Thai. The portion was large and the noodles were very flavorful. I eat Thai food often and I will return here when I’m in the area.

We have had the opportunity to order take out twice from Siam Smiles. What can I say? It’s family run and you can tell meals are cooked with not only the right mix of ingredients, but a lot of love and pride. The Curry Puffs are a delicious starter. Flakey and flavorful with morsels of curry kissed chicken. The chicken satay is deliciously marinated and tender and a favorite for both the adults and kids in our house. Red curry—-say no more! Perfectly spiced (your spice preference) with a great mix of vegetables and protein (shrimp is the choice here) that really suck up the aromatics of the curry and make it tough to draw the line as you attempt to save a bit for the next day (the struggle is real!). Pad kee mao is full of flavor and I like to get it kicked up a notch. The basil adds to the fresh taste with an earthy delight. This is a great spot and it’s worth stopping in. Meals are prepared with your taste in mind and realize you can’t rush perfection. The wait time may exceed your estimate a bit depending on the night but it’s worth the wait. I promise. Portions are terrific.

We've been going here for 6 years and intend to for many more. Delicious food and the kindest, sweetest family operates it. Pre-pandemic, they had a cozy dining area that we found good for either a date or a family meal. I hope that someday they can reopen the dining area!

Not authentic Thai food. Might as well buy Chinese food for a cheaper price. Snooty owner. Don't waste your money. There is another Thai restaurant on Rt 35 in Hazlet. People there are nicer, food there is superb.

This is hands down the best Thai food I have ever had and I have had a lot in my travels in Asia.

Clearly 5 stars. Authentic Home Thai cooking. It's like your Momma is cooking for you. Always fresh. Always delicious. And very fair prices. I have been eaten there for years. Trying all the time new dishes. Always tasty. Favorites? Everything! Spring rolls, Summer rolls, soups; Tom Yum Gai, and my favorite Tom Kha Gai or Shrimp. They make the best Pad Thai and fantastic fish, Duck or anything else. You owe yourself to try it and let's order often to keep them in business, as currently they don't have enough workers to open for eat in so they provide only pick up. Please support them and enjoy the best Thai food. Beyond recommended.

The food absolutely amazing, I especially enjoy the pad kee mow(think it’s number 18 on the menu) I recommend all my friends and family this place for its amazing food and costumer service.

A fantastic restaurant. The owner Judy is always warm and welcoming, the food is top notch, and the portions are generous. I've been a regular customer of Siam Smiles for years, and have never had a negative experience. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could!

By far, our favorite Thai place. Great food and an amazing family-run little gem.

I have tried many Thai restaurants in the area. Siam Smiles is definitely my favorite! The food is delicious and the hospitality is warm and kind. I'm excited to go back again and try something new.

Amazing! The lady that runs it is super sweet too. (My fav is curry puffs, massaman curry, pad Thai, and chicken satay.)
