Good but not special.Quite pricey.Nice service. The lamb curry was very tasty.I would probably go elsewhere next time to ring the changes. No wow factor here.

Really enjoyed the food, but drinks and meal were overpriced in our opinion. There was also a discrepancy with the bill as we were charged more for our drinks than stated on the menu. We were told that the menu on our table was out of date by 2 years! To be fair we were eventually only charged as per the out of date menu, but it all seemed a bit amateurish. Also didn’t like the option to pay tips via the card machine which always seems like such a blatant attempt to avoid reward those who actually deserve the money.

We love coming to the Old Siam each time we are in York and are usually blown away by the quality of the food here. For whatever reason, this wasn’t the case on Saturday lunchtime. We selected from the lunch menu and all of the party found the food to be very salty (which we have never found before either here or in other Thai restaurants). The atmosphere was nice and the price was still good, but just not of the quality that we have come to expect at the Old Siam.

Lovely food & good service. There was a good choice of dishes available on the menu. The sharing platter starter was very nice, a lot of other people had also chosen it. My wife had the lamb shank, which had loads of meat on it. Good value for money.

Love this restaurant. Fabulous food and my favourite Thai in York. It was very warm in there as it's only fairly small but we'll worth a visit. Massamam was delicious and my hubby tried the soft crab which he really enjoyed followed by beef penang. All amazing flavours and beautifully presented.

Lovely food-we had the roasted duck red curry and king prawn green curry which were delicious.The pad Thai noodles were also delicious.The waitresses were all lovely,smiling,polite and nothing too much trouble.Only minor gripe was that they were very busy so took a bit of time to take our drinks order.

Lovely food. Just short of a 6 because the person serving us was obviously new to the job and had to be prompted to do things like supply fresh cutlery for the second course and top up the water glasses. I'm sure she will learn quickly but a little more attention to staff training would not go amiss.

Great atmosphere from the start, the staff were polite attentive and made us feel at home and relaxed. The food was great, flavoursome and plentiful. We had the B banquet for two £23.50 each and a bottle of monsoon valley that was ideal for easy enjoyable drinking. And before anyone comments on how in Thailand you could get the same meal for a fraction of the price Don't bother we know we could, but we are eating in York. Definitley recommend it.

The restaurant was freezing cold, none of the waitresses seemed to know which dishes were vegan so ordering anything became a faff and when the food came it was awful. Really greasy and fatty and since when did you put gherkins in sweet and sour?! What a weird flavour sensation! Won’t be visiting again that’s for sure!

We hadn't been here for several years as other thai or asian places had opened up in York but was nice to revisit and see the standard hadn't slipped at this stalwart restaurant. Food was fresh and tasty and reasonably priced. Our highlight was the soft shell crab starter. The choice of beverage is limited but its the food that is the focus here quite rightly. Our server got a bit confused and offered us pudding menus before we received our mains. This may have inconvenienced other diners but we were in no rush and took it all in good humour even when it took 15 mins to get the bill. We will definitely return.

The atmosphere is nice and the staff kind and fast. At the end, I and my friend had an interesting conversation with the restaurant owner . My main dish was good: rice with vegetables and chicken, with a delicate flavor of lemon. However, I have to confess I expected something more tasty from my previous Thai experience... maybe next time I will taste other things.

Nice food, staff etc. Lovely evening. The only downside was that it feels very tight - both in terms of space around the table and the number of individual dishes crammed onto the table.

Everything was excellent from the service to the food. On arrival we got water and Thai crackers, a cleansing wipe between courses and the food was sublime. We’ll definitely be returning!
