The Old Siam

“Today I was really craving some Thai food, and I stumbled upon this gem. The entire staff was fantastic—so friendly and well-spoken, which made the experience even better. My server recommended the curry along with a side of rice, and both were spot on. The food was bursting with flavor, and the portion size was just right. On top of that, the ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a good meal. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely come back! One thing to note: they don’t accept tips through card payments, so be sure to have some cash on hand.”

“So lucky we meet the owner. Food is very amazing. Authentic Thai food. No doubt why they are the oldest Thai restaurant in York. Highly recommend”

“A little on the pricey side- would recommend going early for the early bird menu. Would recommend booking in advance if planning to go on a Saturday evening. Food is tasty. Nice atmosphere but can be chilly if seated by the doors. Great service- attentive and friendly. Only one toilet which is placed just outside the kitchen so if it’s occupied you will find yourself standing in the way of the staff and in front of other diners (I can understand this is not their fault but just to be weary of). Only thing we had which I wouldn’t recommend is the pad see ew as it didn’t have that nice smokey, charred taste to it. The pad kee mow was delicious (as was everything else)!”

“Best restaurant ever! Me and my partner visited here whilst on holiday in York as it was near our hotel. The staff were excellent from the minute we walked in - friendly and attentive. We went for the early bird menu. We shared the vegetable spring rolls and sweetcorn cakes which were very tasty. For mains we had the veg and tofu railway fried rice and the Thai red chicken curry. We both said it’s the best Thai food we’ve ever had! We had ice cream for dessert, they had some interesting flavours including yuzu and Thai tea which were both lovely! If you’re in York you need to go here! We will be back!”

“What a little Gem, first time having Thai food and it was all delicious we went at 6pm which was still in the Early Bird time where u got a starter, main course and a drink for £19.95. Beautiful flavours in the food and good sized portions. Service very good and its beautifully decorated. We will definitely be returning a d highly recommend ”
