About
A Taste of Bangkok in Makiki
Walking into Siam Square feels like stepping into a well-loved kitchen in the heart of Thailand. Located just moments away from the bustling thoroughfares of Honolulu, this spot has built a reputation for unapologetic spice and authentic recipes that avoid the typical tourist-trap modifications. The space is modest, often humming with the sound of clinking silverware and energetic conversation, making it a reliable destination for a quick, flavorful lunch or a relaxed dinner.
Signature Spice and Culinary Heritage
Chef-driven classics define the menu here. Regulars know that the Pad Thai carries a distinct, tangy balance that sets it apart from other spots in the city, but the real star remains the spicy green curry. Expect a generous pour of coconut milk that hits just the right balance between creamy and fiery. The aromas of crushed lemongrass and toasted chilies fill the room the moment you step through the door, signaling that the kitchen works with fresh, pungent aromatics rather than pre-made bases.
The Honolulu Experience
While the food is consistent, visitors should be prepared for the localized charm of the area. Parking can occasionally get a bit tight during the evening rush, so a little patience is required when maneuvering the lot. It is an ideal spot for groups who value substance over high-gloss decor. Whether you are craving a late-night Tom Yum soup to cut through the humidity or a robust curry to fuel your day, Siam Square captures the essential, unpretentious spirit of Southeast Asian street food culture right here on Oahu.

We had dinner at Siam Square and overall really enjoyed the experience. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, with a good selection of classic Thai dishes. Everything we ordered came out fresh and had that authentic taste we were looking for. The portions were also fair for the price, and the presentation was nice. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were friendly and attentive, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The only small downside was that service was a bit slow during peak hours, and it took a little longer than expected for some dishes to come out. Nothing major, just something to be aware of if you’re visiting when it’s busy. Overall, a really solid spot we would definitely come back to when craving Thai food in the area.

Customer service was great. I have never had Thai rice that was this bland though. The chicken lacked taste too.

Went late on a weeknight and got delicious Thai food. Staff was friendly and food came out quick. The flavors were good in the curry I got, Thai tea was also super delicious. Very reasonable prices for a high quality meal. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for Thai food in Honolulu.

Had summer rolls and drunkard's noodles (medium heat) with chicken. It was really good. The noodles were a little spicy but it didn't overwhelm the flavors. The summer rolls were fresh and a nice compliment to the noodles. Would definitely recommend.

The green curry flavors were excellent. I was so happy to find a Thai restaurant that properly prepares the eggplant used in curries—usually. I'm tired of undercooked, crunchy eggplant, and the frequent uneven slicing/chopping at many Thai restaurants. Two meals, it was perfect. At one lunchtime, it was as if a different cook had taken over. Similarly the pad Thai was good twice, but gummy noodles on that third day. TVs hang in the walls, usually playing music videos and I really didn't think these were necessary given none of the lunchtime patrons appeared interested in that. I think it's a bit pricey for lunch, but very tasty.

We’re visiting Siam Square Thai Restaurant in Honolulu and had the Tom Yum soup and the glass noodle salad. Both dishes were authentic, fresh, and full of unique flavors. You can really taste the quality and traditional Thai preparation. Great experience overall — we’ll definitely be back!

Do not skip dining here! Tucked in between an ABC store and the Surf Jack. Excellent service and delicious food. We had the spring roll to start and then red chicken curry with sticky rice and the chicken Pad Thai. Generous portions. I ate on my Pad Thai left overs for two days. I’m still dreaming about them!

Egg rolls and the dipping sauce were delicious as was the yellow curry. The rice was flavorless with some tofu tossed on which were also I seasoned. The restaurant was decorated beautifully and the servers were extra nice, my tip not for Vegan eaters

Best place in down town near water. Prices are great. Chicken pad Thai was great. Number 42 on the menu is peanut curry, but that’s the same as Penang curry. They said so if you like Penang just ask them for it.! we prefer veggie Penang of chicken. Fresh rolls were great, but they were missing basil, make sure you ask for basil and extra peanut sauce. The pad Thai was great, but you need to ask for lime wedges to squeeze lime on there for sure! Service was great. Music is great.

I went with a friend who is local and had a chance to meet to the owner. She was very pleasant and welcoming. We ordered 3 dishes two of which was very good. The third I didn't care for, but was my friend's favorite. Specifically we had Basil crispy pork. The flavor was great but I had to remind them that the crispy pork was not crispy and they happy fixed it. The second dish was a fish dish. They are on the 2nd floor and has a nice view of the street and a very easy walk from the beach. The restaurant is clean. Would I go back? Yes!
