Good food, good service, nice atmosphere. I've dined here on a number of occasions and the food is a good standard every time. A little short of space but manageable.

Specifically requested when booked that I did not want a table near the toilets or the kitchen. When we arrived we were shown the table where I did not want as per my request. I asked to be moved which to be fair was sorted immediately. Food very good

A small, traditional Thai restaurant within the York city walls. Very cosy with welcoming staff providing efficient service. We had mixed starters, green curry with chicken and duck stir fry between the two of us and all were excellent, nicely flavoured and just the right amount of chilli (for us at any rate).

Nice atmosphere, good Thai food and prompt service. A small restaurant that serves traditional Thai food and beers at a reasonable price in an area just out of the hustle and bussle of the centre of York.

I had a table for 5 people booked, when we are the restaurant was empty apart for a table of two.We stood around for a few minutes then were told our table was a small table for for with a chair on the end..not enough room for five very squashed.I asked for extra space as I had booked ?and the place was empty..more standing around .eventually an extra table was added so we could sit down.The food and drinks were ordered and arrived promptly, both were very good .Overall a good experience I would return and would recommend.

Bit disappointed, not the best Thai food I've had. Good service and atmosphere. The food was a little bland and my sticky rice was completely solid and I couldn't even get it out of the bamboo basket.

Very disappointing- we have been many times before and it was excellent, however this time the order was wrong, the presentation of the food was below par. The manager did reduce our bill and apologise (new members of staff), however we will not return. On the plus side the staff were very polite.

Staff were lovely, decor was fantastic and the restaurant was in a quieter part which was great as there were lots of stag and hen parties. The food was delicious, generous portions and had good flavour but could have done with a bit more heat as in chilli. However, my partner and I do enjoy hot food a lot so it might be our pallets. Good selection of drinks. Lovely to see a mix of people from couples to families with children.

Booked for dinner with my son who was visiting from London. Have been a couple of times before with large groups from work. We received a warm welcome and enjoyed great food. The service was excellent: attentive but not intrusive. Bill for starter, main, rice and a couple of beers was £50: good value. Looking forward to returning.

Food was good once it arrived. It took a while before our menus arrived - we had to ask for them. Everything was late arriving. At one point I think they had forgotten us. The food was very tasty. I think this was a blip on what is usually a very good restaurant experience.

Although they were helpful regarding my wife's wheat intolerance, when I mentioned that the king prawn and crab linguini was a bit tasteless they seemed uninterested. I did not mind still being charged full price but I expected some interest from the staff.

The position of the restaurant in York was good. Nice stroll from the hotel at Clifford's Tower. It is small (but not too small!) with friendly and courteous staff, excellent food and not expensive. Will definitely go back.

Great food, but restaurant was heaving with a large party and that made the service a little bit slow. Also, the interior and the rear of the restaurant was run a bit down, as were the toilets. But if you are looking for a super thai green curry, this is the place!

Lovely atmosphere, and staff even let me choose a table at the back of the restaurant that wasn't being used so my guest and I could have some privacy. Very attentive and polite staff, and the food was delicious and in generous portions. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant, and I will use again.

Visited York for a family Christmas get together and reserved a table at the Old Siam. We weren't disappointed; the food was fantastic and the attentive staff very professional. The atmosphere was buzzing and we had a great night!
