    On the recommendation of a friend I tried this place and it was excellent! I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken and red curry chicken for delivery and both were extremely tasty and delivery was very fast! I only gave 4 stars bc I asked for coconut rice and got plain rice, which was a bit disappointing, but the flavour of the red curry more than compensated! I'm definitely going to order from here again!

    This is an amazing place to have dinner. I enjoyed eating here many times with my friends. Drunken noodle is so amazing, and it will beyond great when you have it with beef or seafood. Green curry and Goong Sarong are so wonderful too. This place is a bit noisy. However, overall environment is still good enough for a big party(8-10). Moreover, servers here are so friendly. Sometimes, They serve the wrong order. You just tell them, and they will change the food for you with no question.

    I ordered delivery via Grub Hub, which could be why I'm only going 4 stars? The delivery was 35 minutes after quoted time. Fried calamari was excellent 5 stars. I'm pretty sure it was homemade, cause was not your typical Sysco frozen junk. Chicken Pad Thai was 4 stars. Thom Yum Ka(?) was great, 5 stars. I'm about to heat up the leftover of it now....yum! The Baltimore Fried Rice w crab was a novelty worth trying, and went over very well with our group. The customer service was good and got all the food order correct, but forgot to send plates and napkins, which I called in specifically to request. It's minor, but did make for a small challenge to each, since I was at a hotel. Overall, the food was great! Check them out.

    Wonderful Thai restaurant in Baltimore. It was very busy on a Friday night, which was great, but not excessively loud. The interior is beautiful. The service was great, quick and came to refill drinks periodically. The food came out pretty fast. I had the Panang Tofu. It was delicious! There was lots of tofu, the curry tasted great. The dish came with a side of white rice and it was perfect to mix in my rice into my tofu and curry. My friend had the chicken khao Soi which looked like a soupy noodle. She noted that she hasn't seen that popular Thai dish at many other Thai restaurants in Baltimore, so she figured she'd give it a try. She said it was delicious and the portion was quite sizeable. For dessert we shared the mango sticky rice. Compared to other mango sticky rices I've eaten, this rice was much less sweet and much more gelatinous. I think it was a balanced dessert because the rice was warm and soft, and complemented the sweetness of the mangoes very well. The presentation of the dessert was top notch too. Definitely would recommend, just a few blocks away from Penn Station so very accessible.

    We tried this place because of the reviews and there was a deal on groupon. Boy were we disappointed. We paid $7.50 for the crispy spring rolls that only came in 3 pieces. Then the main entrees were really small portion with big plates. The service were slow even though it was fully staffed. Our food took over 30 minutes to arrive and the food did NOT taste authentic. Overall, it was not what we expected by the raving reviews.

    I've now been three times for lunch and have had enough food to say that I really love this place. The lunch special is a list of Thai favorites like Drunken Noodles (quite good) and spicy Thai eggplant...and some curries too...plus a small salad and fried spring roll for $10.99. Not cheap but it is a LOT of food and you can definitely take some back home or to the office. Unless, of course you just love to eat tasty Thai at lunch and just choose to pig out instead. The back of the menu has a long list of lunch veggie specials. The place was not crowded...nice fast waiter each time. Just about 3 blocks from the heart of the University of Baltimore campus. Tip: You need to ask for the little trio tray of chili pepper, chili sauce, and some kind of marinated hot hot hot pepper. They don't just bring it to you. Great place. I will be a regular.

    Became one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the area. I had the groupon which included two glasses of wine, one appetizer, two entrees. I liked how they had no restrictions what so ever to use the groupon. We had two entrees from the chef suggestions menu. We asked for mild spiceness and glad we did as they were pretty spicy being mild (in a good way). Portions were big as well. I will definitely come back!

    Best Thai food in Baltimore! Whenever I have a craving for authentic Thai food I go straight to Stang of Siam. This place does have delivery but only within a mile radius. Simple menu with traditional dishes. Favorites: - Papaya salad: spicy, crunchy, everything I look for in a papaya salad - Spicy beef salad: great chili flavor, one of my favorite items from any Thai place and this one does it right -Spring rolls: crunchy, not too greasy, delicious sweet Thai chili sauce -Baltimore crab fried rice: traditional fried rice with tons of flavor with Maryland blue crab as the protein, what could be bad about that TIP: if you're into spice,ask for hot sauce. It's a trio of red pepper flakes, chili oil, and garlic chili sauce

    Came with a Groupon (2 cocktails/wine, 1 appetizer, and 2 entrees) on a Friday night. We had to wait awkwardly in the front for a bit for someone to notice us and seat us. Inside was very nice though. They had nice dark purple walls and candles on all the tables. This would be a nice date night spot. After we were finally seated, we started off with the Tod mun goong for the appetizer. This was just mehh. Maybe because I didn't read the description that closely but it was minced shrimp that was deep fried and served with sauce. We also ordered a Mai Tai and a mango mojito. These were disappointing too. The Mai Tai was okay but the "mojito" was not anywhere near what a mojito should be. It was too sweet and tasted like it came from a mixer. For the entrees, we split the Duck Gra Prao and the Stang noodles. Now these impressed me! They were both on the signature menu and I can see why! The Duck Gra Prao was crispy duck with basil and garlic chili sauce. It was really flavorful and very spicy! And the Stang noodles were good as well. It reminded me of drunken noodles but with lots of seafood and veggies. It had mussels, calamari, scallops and shrimp. They definitely didn't skimp on the seafood! And this was spicy as well. Service was almost non-existent. Our waitress didn't check on us once after our food was brought to the table. At the end of our meal we wanted to try dessert, but our waitress was nowhere to be found. We eventually gave up, and when we finally flagged her down, we just got the check. The food was great, but the service was pretty bad, especially for the amount you'll spend here. I probably wouldn't come here again unless there was a Groupon and I was in the mood for mediocre service.

    Here I sit, eating someone else's pad thai and wishing it were theirs. The pad thai here is my holy grail. FRIED tofu on top of your chosen protein (I have no idea why no one else seems to realize that this is the only way to do it), copious green onions, just saucy enough... Living in Philly now, I desperately order and order again, each place further away from Stang's version than the last... Seriously considering a trip back down south just for their noodles. Oh, and curry puffs. Because apparently no one up here does those as deliciously, either.

    We would be arriving at BWI around lunchtime. For weeks, these St. Louisans planned to dine at another establishment near Stang of Siam after viewing it on the Food Network. But when we arrived gat the location, it was closed. So we had to find a place. I Googled nearby restaurants and the carload of midwesterners agreed on Stang of Siam. Best. Pad. Thai. Ever. A local diner gave us some suggestions. We had deliciously crisp, tasty spring rolls and an order of slightly overcooked calamari as appetizers. The breading on the calamari was excellent, as was the sauce. My mom had the chicken pad thai, and it was wonderful. My stepdad had the drunken noodles with shrimp. There was a complexity of flavors that was masterful, according to my stepdad. The aroma was simply amazing. We even asked the waiter what kind of basil they used. I had the shrimp pad thai. I consider myself a pad thai connoisseur, and i get it whenever it's available at a restaurant. The flavors were incredible. They included a generous portion of egg for this girl who always orders it with extra egg but forgot this time. I was pleasantly surprised. And the shrimp was cooked perfectly. That, plus the al dente noodles, plus the peanuts, green onions and sprouts...just wonderful. I added soy sauce and red chili sauce for additional flavor and heat. My mom told me she has never seen me eat an entire order. It was simply the best. I would absolutely go back for more.

    AMAZING FOOD!!!! The portions are nice and large!! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is good. I personally don't like peanuts so I got a Thai dish that had a "sweet Thai soy sauce" instead of a peanut sauce and it was amazing!!! I highly recommend this place. It's a little small so it may be better for a date night instead of a huge group dinner.

    Came here once at lunch and got a drunken noodle lunch special (comes with a little salad and roll). Our food came out really quickly; I thought that my noodles were really good and a good deal Came back to Stang for dinner a different day and ordered the drunken noodle again but this time it seemed like the noodles had been soaking too long and were big and floppy, in a bad way. All the vegetables were undercooked and crunchy more than I would like them to be (in both the tom kha and the drunken noodle) The service was slow and inattentive at dinner

    I've always been a fan of Stang. The food is always awesome, delivery times are a bit long but the food always arrives hot, and it's always flavorful and tasty. My only complaint is from the food I ordered tonight. The food took over an hour to arrive (but was still hot, so that's not much of a criticism as an unbiased observation), but the big thing is I have already pulled about half a dozen 6+" black hairs out of my Gang Masaman tofu. I spent over a decade in kitchens and I understand that things happen, but this is very off-putting and I probably will not be ordering from here again.

  • Elisa D.

    This was my first time at a Thai restaurant and having Thai food. My friend Jarrod brought me here. I was excited!!!! We ordered the Thai iced tea...DELISH!!!! We had the fried tofu for an appetizer. It took me a good while to pick something. I am very choosey...picky and like to stay with familiar things, but being that this was a first for me I knew I had to step out the box. I ended up ordering a dish with egg plant and tofu. This was a good choice because I like egg plant and tofu...still managed to stay in the "safe" zone. It was a very good dish. I didn't see it listed on the menu here tho. I will most definitely return!!!! Hopefully I can pull myself away from the dish I got and try something else.

  • Matt B.

    Not a bad little spot. I had the drunken noodles Thai ice tea and a beer and the bill was shy of $30. On the menu the drunken noodles were indicated as spicy which I didn't think they were. I am accustomed to hot Thai food where hot means you are crying so if you want your food spicy make sure to ask and don't go off the indicators on the menu. The Thai ice tea was good. Overall the menu seemed large and many options were available including vegetarian options. Will likely return.

  • Nicole J.

    I really tried to like this place.... I really did. But to the point where you're waiting over an hour for a PICK UP order??? That's messed up and unprofessional. The food is good but baltimore has a lot of great thai restaurants including thai landing, thai arrow, and elephant wok (great quality and even better prices). Also, stang of Siam is the kind of place that charges $20 corkage fee for BYOB. The point where they are ineffectively slow on food, service, and communication makes the whole dining experience lackluster. Save yourself from disappointment and go to a different restaurant.

    I like Stang of Siam food - too bad the service I received recently was TERRIBLE. We ordered pick-up through Yelp and showed up about 20 minutes after ordering (the website said 10-30 minutes). We then proceeded to wait a FULL HOUR, sitting in a cold area of the restaurant at a tiny table, watching other people be fed. At one point, one of the waitresses seemed to indicate that they had forgotten our food, but made no further comment. We were ignored - to the point where the people would even avoid looking at our table - for the entire hour. Obviously, good restaurants get busy, and I don't mind waiting if things are going crazy. But being ignored and basically shoved off into a corner on a not-very-busy night was offensive. The right way to handle this is to apologize, explain the situation, bring a glass of water, and to check in on us periodically - not to avoid the situation like a dog that has pooped on the floor. Of course, don't get me wrong, there's more than just a single incident of bad service to complain about. The street parking was virtually nonexistent, the corking fee is an extortionary $20, and the price of the food is pretty extreme. Stang of Siam has good food - but there are plenty other good Thai places in Baltimore I can go instead.

    Best Thai restaurant in Baltimore!! Some days the place were pretty crowded but I've never disappointed with their food. My favorite menu is fried rice. We had also had crispy string bean and seafood sizzling. They were amazing!

    Good but definitely not great Thai restaurant in the general downtown Baltimore area. It is a nice looking restaurant, the decor is charming and cute, nothing special but it makes you feel a little warm to be there. Service is just okay, staff is friendly enough but not overly attentive, they kind of leave you to your own devices after taking your order and delivering your food. They don't even really come back for the check without some prodding which isn't necessarily a bad thing every once ad a while. Food was just okay, calamari was nicely breaded with decent flavor, it also wasn't overly oily and the accompanying sauce had a nice zest to it. Main course was the pineapple fried rice, sweet and tangy, chicken was a tad dry but not horrible. Rice was fluffy and well prepared. While I'd never make the long haul to Baltimore just for Stang if I was in the neighborhood and seeking Thai, I'd give it a go.

    The lunch special is a good price and a good amount of food. The pad see ew was good but a little mushy (which I liked but I can see how other people might no like it). The cashew chicken was good, too, but was spicier than expected and was a little too fried. All in all it was good but not amazing, so maybe better for lunch.

    So glad I got to eat here on my visit home to Baltimore. I was craving Panang curry and this little, quaint place definitely hit the spot. It is soooo good!! Excellent ambiance, good prices, and a nice location. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends in Baltimore!

  • Maddie F.

    I just ordered delivery tonight for the first time and am so disappointed. It said it would be here from 75-90min which I completely understand after working a restaurant for years. But when I received my meal 2 hours later everything is cold and undercooked. The portions are ridiculous for when I paid - especially for the mango with sticky rice. Don't think I will be ordering again.

    If you drive past Stang of Siam and keep putting off a visit, save yourself and just go. The nice slate storefront represents some awesome authentic Thai cuisine. We called for reservations and they barely understood us. Great sign :-) We walked so didn't need to worry about street parking and could walk off our big dinner afterwards. Saturday early dinner is the time to go. Service was great because we were the largest party there and few other tables. This place beats out my other favorite Thai restaurant, Little Spice in Hanover, Maryland. I can't rave about the pad thai (I normally never do anywhere) or the edamame (which was still good). But everything else was to rave for and the bill so was cheap $60 for 6 people (we drank water). - Green Mango Salad - Green Papaya Salad - Edamame (standard, nothing special) - Chicken Fried Rice (awesome for a mellow stomach day) - Pad Thai (normal) - Drunken Noodles (awesome basil flavor and yummy fat noodles) - Duck Gra Prao - deep-fried crispy boneless duck, sweet basil, chili garlic sauce - Pla Lad Prik - fried fish flounder, chili basil sauce. crispy/light, must eat all fresh! We had a beef dish that was amazing too but I can't remember what it was. There was so much food. It's best to go with a big group so you can try more than 2 dishes.

    I was very pleasantly surprised when I came here for the first time yesterday. Things I really liked: -No wait time (We came on Tuesday around 6pm) -Food: We all ordered the Drunken Noodles, and even though we stuffed ourselves with the huge portion, it was incredibly delicious. We also got an order of the sticky rice with mango, which I highly recommend. -Price: It was a teeeny bit pricey, but if I had actually restrained myself and not eaten the whole thing, I could have easily taken half to go. -Parking: I had to drive around the corner, but I found free parking pretty easily. My friends and I somehow gravitate to asian food for our weekly get togethers, and this is definitely a spot we will keep in mind!

    Ordered Pad Thai hot but it had no heat at all. Ordered through eat24 on may 22. They never seem to get the spice right. The food is good but without the heat it's just not acceptable. I can understand the heat being to hot or not hot enough but to ask for it hot and you get it with no heat at all just ruins the whole dish I think I'm done with Stang.

  • Ann K.

    Thai decor with a trendy vibe. Although all the patrons were mostly not Thai, the fried rice and som Tum are pretty tasty with smoky aroma. Khaosoi is ok and creamy. A bit too sweet for me. It is a passable taste for the authentic foods and courteous service.

  • Angela Z.

    Food was great and flavorful - my friend and I split the chicken drunken noodles and chicken panang curry. I highly recommend the latter. The portion sizes were a little smaller than I expected for the price. The interior decorations are very in-theme and tastefully done, but I would recommend that if the restaurant has the budget, to remodel their bathroom. It was slightly dingy and just seemed out of place in such a nice establishment.

  • Minna W.

    Uhh.... my fiance and I drove 30 minutes from the County to try out what everyone's been raving about, but it was closed. At 8. On a Friday night. We called their number and no one answered. We had to trek back to the County to find something comparable to eat. We called again Saturday night to see if we could give it a second try, but we were told in broken English that the restaurant is closed indefinitely. We couldn't figure out why.... I hope it opens up again soon so we can give it a fair chance. I will update my review once we get to dine there.

    Great food; I order takeout from here all the time. I strongly recommend the tofu panag curry. (I normally order my curries with meat, but their fried tofu is really great.)

    (5)

  • Scott O.

    I love Stang of Siam. They have an extensive vegan/vegetarian section on their menu. The panang tofu and pad prig king tofu are my favorites, and the vegetarian curry puffs (with pumpkin) cannot be skipped. The service is friendly and helpful, although the kitchen can get understandably slow when they are busy. I think the prices are a bit high, but when I want great Thai, I'm willing to pay. The atmosphere is casual, but upscale, so Stang isn't just a take-out place, although they're good at that too.

  • Lina J.

    Best thai food in the city, hands down! I love their green curry...so delicious! It's my go-to whenever I go there (or order for delivery!) The thai tea and mango sticky rice are great additions to a meal as well. The actual restaurant itself is really nice -- it's somewhere I would take my parents for a casual dinner. So it is a little pricey, on a student's budget, I'd say it's an occasional splurge. Definitely worth it though, I will DEFINITELY be back!

    My compadre was fancying thai and although I had eaten at Thai Landing, Ban thai and Thairish previously, I hit up my handy yelp app and looked to see if there was anything out there I hadn't been to yet. In my search I discovered Stang (which I had no idea was even there!). So I suggested she meet me there. 1stly, Stang is in a mostly residential area of Mt Vernon very close to UB so parking is somewhat nightmarish in the evening. I parked several blocks away and walked in but my friend was circling blocks for greater than 15 mins before I suggested the Calvert St. bridge for her to try for spots. After I found a spot and walked up, I walked in to find a bustling delicious-smelling warmly light converted row house. Looked welcoming, and then I stood....and stood.....and stood. Several wait staff looked directly at me in the entrance and turned and continued their actions. Finally, after 10 mins, I was seated. The menu had a hodgepodge of cocktails in the regular menu and on a mini specials menu that didn't seem particularly themed towards the cuisine but a number of champagne-based cocktails peaked my interest. However I found the same lackadaisical service once seated as I found waiting to be seated. So I again began my waiting for a drink to be even offered...and I kept waiting. Finally a person acknowledged me and left to bring my Kir Royale. However she returned a time later to tell me "no champagne". So I asked for a dirty vodka martini. When I actually received it, It was well made and delicious. But I had to wait another eternity. My friend arrived and we ordered. Spring rolls to start, Tom Kha Gai soup, Beef salad, and shrimp pad thai. Spring rolls were fried well, nice dipping sauce. Tom Kha Gai was creamy flavorful, chocked full of chicken. I only had a small piece of the beef salad but the flavors were spicy, meaty, satisfying. My entree, the shrimp pad thai, had large well cooked shrimp, a nice amount of veggies throughout, noodles were cooked correctly, good flavor. Unfortunately there is more to a place than the food. With 3 other Thai places in the area with comparable food, easier parking, consistency of availability for products and good service, I probably won't be back here.

    We became quickly accustomed to our server's, "Errr, uh-oh," face during our visit. The first grimace came our way right off the bat when we ordered our drinks and they were out of Singha. Ah geez, the ole gal loves an icy Singha with 'er hot n spicy Thai food. Sing it wit me, "Singha beer, don't ask no questions... Singha beer, don't tell no lies..." No Singha. I was a lil disappointment there, but persevered, as I do, besides, other beers exist, and Stang's big colorful mugs of Thai iced tea are quite enjoyable. Then we ordered pumpkin curry puffs. I don't even know why? Such an appetizer ain't even typically up in my regular repertoire anyway, but no dice! They were out of em, we learned, with a sad shake of the head, "Nope." Ah, whatever, right? Most probably it was a fortuitous move in our favor. We ordered up Laab gai instead, and it was tremendously good- like some of the best laab in years. I tell you. The ground chicken and toasted rice salad was tasty, upmost. There was just the right balance of fresh lime juice, fish sauce, hot chiles, red onion, bright cilantro, and sweet mint. It was nice and spicy, just as requested. Happy bout that. I may have smacked the table a time or two over it, in a, "hell yeah," kinda fashion. In the midst of all this enjoyment our poor server had to come over and break more bad news... The whole crispy fish in chile garlic sauce was a no-go. They were outta whole fish. Crestfallen! Look, my crest is falling off. Ahhhh boy... Forlorn. Forlorna Doone. Whole crispy fish, with fishy tail in tact and lil fishy face a-lookin right at me; it's just one of my favorite dishes to split. I love it so, possibly making a spectacle of ourselves, cleanin them bones like a cartoon alley cat. Thai preparation with hot and garlicky sweet chile and Thai basil is just one of my favorites in life. But no.We ordered red curry instead. Now maybe you're wondering, why with all this bitchin bout lost loves from the sea and blah, blah, blah, on and on: Why are you claiming to be a fan of Stangof Siam, ole thing? I'll answer you: Everything we did end up eating here was damn delicious. That's why. I don't know what was up with all the outages. It was a Monday night. Maybe they had a busy, busy, weekend and no deliveries or something? I couldn't tell you. I could not tell. I can tell you that we enjoyed the hell outta our meal. I already rambled about the Laab gai. The red curry turned out to be quite tasty, even though not our first choice that night. Now let's talk about the Drunken Noodle. The one dish that we did order and was no ish at all was really fantastic the night we were there. You know that thing where you order Drunken Noodles from some sub-par place and it arrives in some kinda over-cooked starchy, sticky, mounded mass of nonsense that requires you to peel each noodle from the pitiful clump with your chopsticks, one by one. That ridiculous mission? Hey, not here. Not here! Every noodle was perfectly cooked and coated just right in silky sauce, spiked with chiles and fresh basil, and plenty of chicken and vegetables and everything good. So that made me happy. Oh, also, I appreciate that when I asked for some prik nam pla, that fish sauce concoction with fresh Thai bird chiles a-floatin', I was presented with the full caddy of Thai condiments including the roasted chile powder, chile paste, etc... I always dig that move, as I am a fan of heat and heat related condiments. I like a little of this and a little of that, so that's all I'm sayin. Through the apologies, service was sweet and smiley in this pretty little place with purple walls. After all, we really enjoyed our dinner despite our hearts and stomachs being set on another plan. Another meal at Stang would be in my mind to return, the next time we might roll through town.

    This place is super great, i LOVE the flavors of the curry. The panang curry is my favorite! The drunken noodles are also really good. Some weird things -- the Pad Se Ew is always bland w/ not enough sauce... then when I ask for extra sauce it's liek way too much. Also I have to say the prices are kinda expensive and the lunch special is not that cheap and for some reason you can only get like noodle dishes for lunch special? Idk strange. Either way though this place does some things really great

  • Brittany G.

    These guys get a 4.5 for quality of food but a 2 for customer service. The meal is always great. I really like the curry puffs, pad see ew, pad thai and pad eggplant with chicken. However, when a party of 2 asks to sit at an empty non reserved table, it is not appropriate to say, "No that is a 4 person table and bigger groups might come in later". Also, I have had them misunderstand my questions while ordering over the phone and mouth off on me. Since when should asking for the total cost, be met with "you know you are not our only customer, "...what?!? That response doesn't even make sense. In summary, the food is good...eat here if you can tolerate the potential for BS if not try Thai Landing on Charles. The food is not quite as good there but they are much more hospitable.

  • Sidney T.

    Food was pretty good, but the service sucked, so this is why they get 3 stars. I'm no legitimate Thai food connoisseur, but I enjoyed my meal because everything was fresh and flavorful. Basically, we waited forever for simple things like the check and drink refills. Plus, the waitress didn't even check on us. They really need to work on their customer service skills.

  • Francisco M.

    Very enjoyable meal. For appetizers we tried the chicken satay, the dumplings, and the mango salad- all were quite delicious. For the entrees we had the fried fish, fried duck, and the egg noodles with pork and egg. The fried duck was amazing and a little spicy. The $10 for some extra fried duck was totally worth it. We had the mango sticky rice for dessert and it was as good as those I have had anywhere else. Loved it. Will definitely be back.

  • Alison B.

    We used a groupon which made for an affordable date night. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The pad Thai was fantastic and the portion size was more than enough for tomorrow's lunch leftovers. Really the food was amazing and I would return, but the one little stickler was the bugs. We started our meal outside and I got bit three times, so we moved inside. Even inside there were a ton of fruit flies around the table. Other than that- very impressed!

  • Lola W.

    The service was so horrible I can't even review on the food. Dinner took two hours. And not an enjoyable two hours. We sat for 15 minutes before someone came over to us. Then the interaction was very curt and transactional. Mind you, we had a groupon, but I would think there would still be a level of customer service. At the end we waited for another 15 to 20 minutes wanting to leave, but no one came to us. I even stood up and stood there for a few minutes trying to get someone's attention. We ended up leaving $20 on the table to cover tax and tip. After we were outside someone ran down the street saying we had to pay. First, the tax we owed was like $3. We told her that we left money on the table. I certainly regret the tip.

    "In a town of blind people, a one eyed man is king." Went to Stang on a Friday around 9 for dinner with my dad. Got chicken satay and curry puffs, puffs were good would recommend. Satay was very bland and texture was off. Dad got basil fried rice, rice was a little crunchy but the flavor was excellent. I got Pad Thai, a bit sweet and saucy for my tastes and no vegetables or eggs to be seen. The weirdest thing was every single plate we were served on was wet and cold. How do plates get wet and cold? Overall, best Thai in Baltimore so far, but haven't found any Thai in Baltimore that impressed me yet.

    I went here for dinner at the suggestion of a friend. We started with the curry puffs which were a bit unconventional but fine and had a good dipping sauce of some variety. My friend ordered the drunken noodles and seemed to enjoy them. I went with a classic, Pad Thai and didn't remotely enjoy it. The noodle consistency was not very appealing and the sauce was not to my liking. I endured and ate a few bites so as not to draw attention to myself. They cleared our plates, mine with basically the entire entrée on it and then another staff member came over to see if it I had liked it or wanted something else. I wasn't really sure what was being offered and I didn't really want to order anything after my friend had already eaten, so I said I was fine, but I guess it was nice that they asked, even if the timing was poor. Anyway, I probably wouldn't return, the food was nothing special and the service was about the same.

    I have dined at Stang four or five times over the years and the food never disappoints. Service had been spotty in the past but seems to have improved Food is served in an intimate setting and portions are generous. On our visit this past Saturday we had the Stang Noodles, Vegetarian Drunken Noodles, Penang Tofu and Chicken Pad See Eew. All the dishes had great, fresh flavors and just the right amount of heat. We took home leftovers which were just as good the next day. I think this is one of Bmore's best Thai joints. Sweet basil and chili paste Compliment noodles You look good enought to eat

    Had driven by this place numerous times en route to work, so when the chance came to eat here for lunch I was eager to try it. I was not disappointed! My meal was spicy and flavorful with a nice balance of heat and acidity. The lunch special is a good deal!

    Pad Thai with shrimp! I normally do not like pad Thai and it's not a dish I order when I go to a Thai restaurant. However, sang of siam's pad Thai is absolutely amazing. Shrimp is perfectly cooked and the sauce is to die for! Wish I lived in Baltimore still so I can go get my fix of pad Thai.

    I've been to dozens of Thai restaurants and so often end up dismayed by the quality of the food, despite all external signs suggesting that it would be authentic and, most importantly, spicy! Thankfully, in addition to having a great location and atmosphere, Stang of Siam didn't disappoint in either regard. We went with a party of three and were seated in the upstairs balcony area, which has a pleasant view and diminishes some of the ambient noise from conversations below. I ended up ordering a green papaya salad (a personal favorite) with shrimp. My dinner companions went with a panang curry and a green curry, both with "seafood," which comprised shrimp, scallops, squid, and mussels. The papaya salad was great--well dressed, not overly sweet, and appropriately spicy. The shrimp had been deliciously charred on the grill. Unfortunately, there were only two of them and they weren't enormous, which is really my only complaint for the entire meal. Both curries were delicious as well, and everyone was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and abundance of the seafood elements. I'd highly recommend giving this place a try if you enjoy Thai cuisine. I'll certainly be returning to try more of their dishes.

    Really wanted to love this place. I ordered the Pad Thai and before i even took a bite the fish oil smell was overwhelming. The part that prompted me to write a review though was our poor service. Our waitress took our order and dropped off our food. Those were the only two times we saw her. We were never given napkins, utensils, or more water. All in all it was a really poor experience. I wonder if it's because we had a Groupon. The waitress just seemed like she couldn't be bothered.

    This is a review for an order I placed online. I ordered it for 7:45pm. At 8:10pm I called the restaurant. They said "I'm sorry, we are a full house, we are busy." My order finally arrived at 8:30pm. I ordered Pad See Ew...this was the most overcooked Thai dish I have ever had. It was seriously one of the worst noodle dishes I have had thrle displeasure of eating. Looks like the food in the restaurant is actually decent, it's just a shame that their delivery system sucks.

  • Ryan S.

    We have been here many times and have always been very happy with our meal. Tonight we ordered delivery for the first time and we're very pleased with the delivery time, temperature of the food, and the packaging. Very good restaurant for good Thai food. Delivery did not disappoint.

    I live not too far from this restaurant, so I've been here on several occasions. Overall, the food is pretty good. I really love their pad see ew and the drunken noodle. I also have enjoyed their Khao Soi and they tasted just like the ones I've had in Thailand. One qualm I have about the place is the cost. Each dish is typically between $12-15, which is a little too steep for thai food. Otherwise, I'd go back pretty frequently.

    Very good food. Service was good also, I had the drunken noodles with shrimp, felt kind of skimped on shrimp, i only had 5,not sure what happened to the rest od the shrimp, but it was very spicy and flavorful.My friend had the pineapple fried rice with shrimp. The presentation was nice, it came in a pineapple, i feel like she may have had the rest of my shrimp. lol. Drinks were pretty good. Also had the shrimp appetizer. I would return to try the red chili curry, another table had it and it looked interesting.

    Had great seafood Lemon grass soup and then a seafood with ginger and light soy entree. I do not eat white rice. My partner in crime had green curry chicken and white rice. The food was tasty, the service staff fast and friendly. I liked the heavy wooden chairs.

  • PP H.

    Drunken noodle is so amazing. Gang Ped Yang is also my favorite dish. It has lichee inside which is so delicious. Most of the food here are supposed to eat at the restaurant. Its taste better when it is fresh and hot. The bad side of the restaurant is sometime it was very crowded, so I had to wait so long. However, according to a good food so 5 stars.

  • Jayanta M.

    Time of visit: Multiple times Price: Moderate Portion Size: Moderate-to-Large Decor: Traditional Thai Food profile: Traditional Thai with occasional use of western ingredients (e.g., drunken noodles with salmon ) Service: Friendly Food wait time: 15 minutes Food quality: Very good If you like Thai food this is the place you need to visit. The service is friendly and the food is just awesome. Their seating area is not very spacious, so if you are planning to visit during busy hours try to call them and reserve. They have outside seating but only for summer/spring/fall weather. If you are a fan of Indian samosa, try their curry puffs. Make sure to try their soups, drunken noodles, fried rice, curries and pad thai. Apart from their food, I liked their colorful bowls/plates and the wooden menu card.

    (Delivery Review) Tonight, I didn't feel like cooking but I wanted something spicy, hearty, and asian. Missing my best friend's mom's cooking I had to get Thai. I was browsing through yelp and I have came across this place multiple times. So I gave it a shot. I wrote that I wanted my food very spicy, like I want to cry on my first bite. Also, I wanted to try someone new since I also felt adventurous. I got two dishes, Drukken Noodles with chicken and Pad Gra Prao with chicken (I really love chicken). I asked the drukken noodles to be really spicy and Pad Gra Prao to be hot. First when I ordered it said I would get it in 75-90 minutes. I was surprised I got food 30 minutes later. I was super excited cause I also got fried eggs to go with my spicy dishes (I really like eggs too), but under first impression of the food I was confused. I always have druken noodles and pad gra prao with ground chicken. Here I saw chicken slices. I also didn't smell the nice aroma of thick basil like I hoped. There were also tomatoes which made me cringe since the food looked completely different. What really threw me off was that there weren't Thai Green Chilli Peppers cut up into little circles, it was what looked like pepper seed you put on your pizza. NEVERTHLESS! I ate and tried the food. It wasn't what I expected, the flavors seemed more Americanized but I did have a runny nose and tears come out of my eyes. I preferred the Pad Gra Prao over the druken noodles but they definitely understood what I meant by really spicy. Yet, the food didn't look like my best friend's mom's home cooked meals nor did it taste close. I guess I'll have to wait till thanksgiving to have some authentic thai again but this place good. They have a nice twist to what I am used to and maybe the chef is someone from a different area, but I can say that it was nice to not cook still.

    I have ordered from here so many times. I really love their food. However the better piece of Stang of Siam is the service. It's ALWAYS with a smile and a humble approach that makes you appreciate the food that much more. I will continue to come here for Thai food as often as I can!!

    Went there twice for lunch in one month had the same thing, drunken noodle seafood is super delicious. The dish were very well prepared, they use fresh ingredients, and impressive presentation. Nice attentive staff, we told them we were on our lunch break and don't have much time and they were very accommodating. In and out in 45 minutes.

  • Neelam P.

    3 1/2* Service is pretty scattered and slow, but friendly. The decor is lovely, I was a fan of the huge wooden piece on the wall. Papaya Salad - not exactly like what I've had in Thailand. It needed more lime and more spice. Red curry w/tofu - this was slightly sweet but still spicy and pretty good. Would have loved some more tofu and wish I had the option for brown rice instead of white. Veggie drunken noodles - hubby said the noodle to veggies ratio was way off. The dish needed more noodles!

    (3)

  • Bobby H.

    Excellent drunken noodle! Much better than Thai Arroy in Federal Hill. This dish gets a 4.5/5. Girlfriend thought the Larb Gai was good. She would give it a 3.5/5. According to her it is on par with that of Thai Arroy. The Tom Yum Goong soup was not that great. It gets a 2.5/5. We ordered carry out. The inside of the restaurant is very nice. They try to be a little fancy. Entrees average around $13. So far its some of the best Thai I've found in Baltimore.

  • Courtney C.

    Vegetarians & vegans rejoice!! They offer egg free options in their noodle dishes to make them vegan. Their vegetables always taste fresh (sometimes a little crunchy, but who cares?) The pumpkin curry puffs are delicate and delicious! The veggie pad see ew is SO good. The curries are delicious. If you can't have soy, you can ask for a veggie option instead of tofu as your protein. The inside is pretty & quiet. The staff are friendly and they deliver!!

  • Joe M.

    This was a massive disappointment! I normally trust 4 and 5 star reviews, which is why I tried this restaurant in the first place. Anyway, the calamari appetizer was very salty, the drunken noodles were way too greasy, the food that my friend ordered had undercooked eggplant. I've had way better food at less expensive Thai restaurants!!! The food came almost an hour later and they came AFTER the two customers who were seated after us got their food! 1 star for great ambiance and good cocktails, but 1 star will not bring me back to this place. Thai Landing a couple blocks away is slightly better, though not much.

  • V T.

    It was hard for me to decide how many stars to give this place. The food is really good -- I've had the green curry (highly recommend), drunken noodles, garden vegetable rolls, and mango sticky rice (not always available, depends on whether mangos are in season). But their delivery service is atrocious, as other reviewers have mentioned. If you order delivery, expect to wait 1.5 to 2 hours before getting your food (even on a weeknight). The delivery guy told me that the best time to order is between 5 and 7pm so maybe that will help next time if I'm craving Thai food badly enough to try delivery again. It's best to dine in the restaurant and avoid the delivery altogether.

  • A. C.

    (8/12/2014) Got a take-out order during a torrential downpour, saved my day. Really enjoyed the spicy heat from the Drunken Noodles, although they were oddly too sweet. Thick fat rice noodles were decently squishy (as they should be). Duck Salad was probably a poor choice for take-out (my bad), deep-fried coating was soggy when I finally got around to eating, but strong, pungent, dressing (lots of ginger, onions, cilantro, lime juice). Tod Mun Goong (shrimp cakes) were crispy on the outside and moist tender inside, significant amount of some kind of filler, some shrimp chunks, pleasantly spiced. Pricey for a lunch deal (cheap lunch specials only available for dine-in), but I really enjoyed the food (had leftovers for the next day, too).

  • Frank S.

    Everything I've eaten here is top-notch. They offer a vegan version of many of the regular dishes (just replacing the meat with tofu, and be sure to order the Pad Thai without egg) and all have really impressed: fresh, flavorful, and prepared quickly. The prices are fair and the staff is friendly. The Basil Fried Rice Veggie, Pad Thai Veggie (without egg), and Drunken Noodle Veggie are some of our favorites. The location is quite convenient if you live in Mt. Vernon, and if you don't there's plenty of parking in the neighborhood.

    *Note: This is a review on ordering take out.* I ordered delivery, pumpkin curry puffs, mango sticky rice and steamed vegetables. It took about 45 minutes to deliver. There was a mistake with my order, I received regular curry puffs not pumpkin curry puffs. I disregarded it anyways since the restaurant already closed. The curry puffs were pretty good, still heated when it arrived. The mango sticky rice I had anticipated the most for since everyone on yelp raved about it. However I was disappointed. The mangos weren't as ripe and the sticky rice was a bit hard.. The coconut sauce was good though. The steamed vegetables were kind of bland. Not sure if I would actually come here to dine...

  • Thoibi H.

    We go here all the time and just for the food. Their Chicken red curry and Pad Gra Pao are especially amazing and I crave them ever so often. I also highly recommend the Tom Yum Goong soup for those who don't mind a lil sourness. So good! The drunken noodles on the other hand seem quite oily and so does the Pad Thai. The only con to Stang of Siam is the service, if you are unlucky you could get a server who may not fully understand what you are saying. Language does seem a barrier. We'd asked a female server to get us 1 soup and 2 bowls so we could split it and we got 2 soups in 1 bowl!! The funny thing is we didn't even realize it till we got the bill. Given how good the food is, we didn't really mind and did end up over eating because we had also ordered entrees.

    I ordered online, for delivery, at 7:30. Food arrived at 9:30pm. Good thing I wasn't THAT hungry... Maybe they were busy, but two hours is excessive regardless. (I live a mile away.) Not surprisingly, the food tasted like it had been sitting in a car for awhile and was obviously cold. Pad thai noodles were so overcooked by the time my food arrived, had to eat it with a spoon. The pad thai was too sweet. I had ordered it extra spicy; request denied. Fried rice had turned into a brick of rice. Flavor was nothing special and extra spice request also denied. Last dish we ordered was the Beef of Siam... Meh. Again, nothing special. I was expecting more than just one stalk of asparagus. My first experience with Stang of Siam... and probably my last. Unless I am really really really desperate. And even then, I don't think I'd risk a two hour wait for delivery.

  • Boss M.

    Def coming back here. Me & a buddy went Anthony Bourdain and tried a bit of everything. Haha well almost. First we started off with the Kanom Jeeb (dumplings) as an app. Very good and we have never ate any dumplings like these. Then we moved to Drunken Noodles w/ Chicken. Spicy & delicious no doubt! Also ordered the Stang Eggplant w/ beef. Again spicy and delicious. We were impressed at this point. Here is where I usually order a curry dish. But after a collaboration of ideas what to try next we both concurred that we'd go with the Roasted Duck & Pineapple Fried Rice. Haha like I said we went A.Bourdain on this place. Both dishes was amazing. The fried rice had HUGE shrimp in it with cashews and pineapple served in a pineapple bowl. Impressive and a must try even if it's a side dish. It's huge. Don't sleep on the duck either. Enjoy Stang of Siam!

    We will not order from this business again. Before I delve any further, I am leaving this review completely based on a delivery service and have never personally had a dinner service at this restaurant. Recently, my SO had ordered delivery from this restaurant using their online service. Our order arrived 20 minutes late (keep in mind, the delivery time was supposed to be 90 minutes which seemed very long in the first place considering we placed this order at 5:30 PM on an off night). When the driver arrived with the food, he decided to shake down my SO for a larger tip than the tip he received. He went so far as to comment on how my SO obviously looked like he made good money and should pay him at least a 20% tip. When my SO refused to be guilted into giving him more money, the driver angrily told him that we would never get any additional extra items from this restaurant again. This seemed very puzzling as we never have gotten any free things from them in the first place. The entire exchange was very unprofessional and no one should ever be bullied into paying some one a larger tip for bad service.

    Honestly, I wasn't expecting much since I thought I already knew where the best Thai place was back in California. But I was wrong. This place is probably one of the best Thai places on the East Coast. But I haven't been to any other Thai places over here to compare so take my words as you will. The place is beautifully decorated and ambience was a nice, low key, semi romantic setting if you're looking to bring a date here. The menus came in these wood panel type enclosures that you open up. I wasn't expecting much from the food since the decor was so nice but the food here was absolutely delicious and authentic as it gets. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the options, especially the vegetarian dishes. Don't leave without trying the mango sticky rice dessert.

  • Emma W.

    This is a nice option for non-divey Thai food. Their curries, pad thai and drunken noodles are wonderful. They're generous with fresh vegetables and the sauces are very well done - none of the mysterious brown flavor that so much bad Asian American food has... What is that? The space is almost wonderful. I think this place can't quite decide if it's a bar that serves Thai food or an upscale Thai restaurant. The chairs are crazy uncomfortable and the floor is a little overcrowded with not-quite-large-enough tables. It's a little pricey but the portions are generous. I definitely recommend this place for a nice dinner out and some tasty leftovers.

  • Jason F.

    Easily the best Thai place in Baltimore. Nice decor and a casual/classy atmosphere. I have been 2x now to Stang of Siam and have tried their soups, beef salad, curry puffs, pad thai, drunken noodles, one of their veggie rice dishes, and mango sticky rice. Their soups are all delicious and they have the best Thai iced tea. The beef salad is ok (elephant wok's is better) and the curry puffs are excellent, but no better than elephant wok. All of their entrees that I have eaten have blown away the local Thai competition. The mango sticky rice is good, but I like Thai Arroy's better. Stang of Siam is the gold standard of Thai food in Baltimore and is located close to bus stops if you want to avoid a potential parking headache. Elephant wok is a close 2nd and Thai Arroy would follow that. Don't waste your time with Thai Yum.

    Ok, so now I'm beginning to think my last rating wasn't fair. There is one server here that has always been pleasant. I believe his name is Jack. Bad service just always seems to leave a bad taste in my mouth but he makes the atmosphere in the restaurant nicer. Cheers to Jack

  • Claire Z.

    Mm, just OK. Really mediocre. Worst part about this place is the service. The first time I came there was chicken in my friend's vegetarian dish and they first tried to deny it, and then finally gave him a veggie-only dish (and no comp on food in case you were wondering). I came a second time to give this place another chance and my boyfriend and I were ignored for the first 10 minutes and we were awkwardly standing in the doorway. Finally I went up to the counter and it was like they finally noticed that we were there. They told us it was at least a 30 minute wait and we left. Never been back again and no inclination to give it another try!

    After not going here for a while after a bad service experience a few times at lunch, I gave it another shot at dinner and things improved dramatically. This is the best Thai food in Mount Vernon, hands down. It's cute inside and the pad-si-ew is some of the best I've had. My favorite will always be from a hole-in-the-wall shop in Silver Spring, but this place gives it a run for its money. It's well decorated inside, has a full bar, and had a wide selection on the menu. My boyfriend usually gets a curry and it's great! I am more of a noodle person though and their pad thai and si-ew is SOLID.

  • Tom V.

    Really nothing special and certainly not worthy of the rave Yelp reviews. We walked in and were seated. It took a good 10 minutes for the waitress to take our order. She took the order of people who had came in after us first. The "Daily Specials" menu looked like something you would see at a Dennys or an IHOP. The food came out fast, which we appreciated because we were both starving. We were clearly sharing our appetizer yet small plates weren't provided and neither were chopsticks. I hate eating with a fork and knife at an Asian restaurant I feel like it deducts from the fun of it. The appetizer was pretty good, nothing great. I got the Drunken Noodles and they were really good. The prices were very good as well. We ordered dessert and it was nothing special. I got coffee and it was some of the worst coffee I had ever had, it had a tangy flavor to it which I couldn't get over. Overall a very mixed experience. Positives: Cheap, Decent Food, Easy Negatives: Spotty service, tacky decor and menus, limited dessert menu, hit or miss food items.

  • Jen K.

    Now that I live in Midtown, I get food from Stang of Siam on average once/week. This is mostly because it is the closest restaurant to my apartment and I am incredibly lazy, but it's also pretty tasty. The *only* noodle dish that is/can be made gluten-free is the Pad Thai. I've asked about other rice noodle dishes several times just in case one server knew more than another, and this has always been their response. I also usually get the Tom Yum Goong soup (Lemongrass soup w/ Shrimp), which is generally good but very inconsistent with flavor and spice level. Last time I went I got the 'Yum Talay' glass noodle w/ seafood salad, and I really enjoyed it! They ambiance is nice, but on the down side, service is slow (for both dine-in and take-out) and just kind of odd...hard to explain.

  • Kevin K.

    Ambience: Cavernous spot, odd combo of paint and dark wood in the long dining room. High ceilings make it too spacious--prefer the feel at Thai Arroy. Service: Standard, curt but satisfactory. Drinks: BYOB Spring rolls - Thai Yum's are still the best. They can get soggy but best in city when fresh. Stang's never got soggy, just less flavor and not nearly the incorporation of the greens or mushrooms that Yum's shows. Chicken panang curry - decent flavor, not as good as thalay thai's was but not as watery as thai arroy's is (their regular curry is better though). Fewer vegetables and lower spice though, a few broccoli swimming in a murky yellow soup. Drunken Noodles - the highlight. Thai Arroy's get mushy and aren't spicy. These are perfect, the meat prevalent despite the intricate spice and heat. Onions are more incorporated than I've seen in Drunken Noodles.

    I've been dining in and ordering food from Stang for a few years now. In the last year the service and quality of food has been on the decline. My orders are frequently incorrect, veggies are usually raw and the staff is pretty snarky and unwilling to help. Tonight we were overcharged by about $5 after being served food that we barely touched. (It was really gross) It's unfortunate, because this place used to be great. On the plus side, it seems like the kitchen is at least still capable of dropping pre made appetizers in the fryer and taking them out before they burn. Thanks y'all.

    The restaurant is located on a street corner in mt vernon and has a temple like atmosphere inside. Parking is hard to come by at certain times. The drunken noodles with pork/beef - I loved it. I'm not a huge fan of spicy food so I chose the mild version. The licorice-flavored basil leaves with juicy tomatoes and crunchy peppers worked incredibly well in the garlicy sauce. This is definitely one of their signature dishes loaded with whatever meat/seafood you choose. Pad Prig King - string beans in chili sauce with sauteed chicken. The dish was good but nothing earth-shattering. Overall, a solid thai restaurant in the baltimore area. I have to try some other dishes, but the drunken noodles will definitely lure me back.

  • Yunlong L.

    The food is OK. The bad thing I experienced is I ordered a lunch special to go but they only have lunch special prices for dining in only. That is the most stupid thing I heard. I have to pay a dinner price for a to go lunch special. I strongly recommend Thai-landing ,which serves equivalent food and is very closed to Stang of Siam. Their service is really good.

    I was asked last night what i'd like to do today since we both had (most of) the day off. Figured since I had a morning "engagement", we'd at least do lunch, and for some reason, I wanted Thai. And hey, if some one is inviting me out, and picking up the tab, THANK YOU! Now, keep something else in mind: We are geeks who love walking around the city. And I am so fascinated by this "business/restaurant/bar inside a former row'home' ", so I was intensely enamored with the interior here. If you too love this kind of thing... check out how they've made a 70's style split level concept into something awesome. The food was fan-tab-ulous! We had lunch there. We both ordered the Thai Iced tea, which was very yummy and those mugs are pretty cool, too. Before our food order was taken, we were presented a small plate with a relatively unremarkable portion of very basic salad, but it was accompanied by a little fritter that I can't immediately describe, but it was really tasty. (slightly on the still oily side, but really yummy anyway. :) ) I ordered a lunch special, with Thai Eggplant. It had 2 little orange peppers denoting heat level, and wimp that i am, it did truly build by the time I had eaten all I could. Did I mention that even lunch portions are huge? My partner had panang (?) tofu, which had a creamy coconut curry sauce with a ton of broccoli and rice. Again, really really yummy. The saddest part was the fact that since we were out and about for the day, we had no way to effectively box up our leftovers and take them with us. I suspect that this is the type of stuff great leftovers are made of!

    Garb Lai salad tastes like dog. They forgot the jasmine rice completely. Asked for soy sauce: none. Pad Thai was not spicy AT ALL even though we specified medium spice. For $36 we ended up with bad Pad Thai and some spring rolls. Wtf.

  • Rags B.

    This was some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced and that's coming from a low-maintenance customer. It was a group of 4 of us and we were feeling cold from the A/C so we told the server that we were moving to another table. She didn't object to it but the owner or manager wasn't happy as evidenced by look on her face (this, after yelling at someone a few minutes earlier). Our food then took a long time to reach us and yet it was cold. We had to get our plates and utensils from our other table, which they never bothered to help us on. And then, when we pointed out these things, the owner or manager got defensive rather than apologize, saying that she was busy with other things. So, we left a 10% tip rather than our customary 20-25% tip. The server called us out on it, saying that we should leave at least 15% and thinking it was a mistake. We said it was on purpose. The owner/manager told us to not come back. That's fine by us; there are other Thai restaurants with excellent and HOT food that we'll be happy to patronize. Recommend you do the same.

    The food was soooo good. They gave nice size portions and almost everyone in our party couldn't clean their plate as hungry as we were. I ordered calamari as my appetizer and shared it with the table. Some loved it, but I didn't like that they were these huge thick rings that weren't tender. Calamari is supposed to be easy to eat and I felt like I just chewing and chewing with every ring. For my entree I got the Chicken Pad Thai with extra peanuts. It wasn't the best I had, but it came in a close second. I think if there were more tofu pieces it would've taken the number one spot. I have to agree with a review that I read that stated that the food was good, but the service doesn't measure up to the food. Although I made a dinner reservation for a large party before lunch, our table wasn't ready when we arrived. And when they originally seated us there wasn't enough room for everyone. They eventually moved us, but now we're the first thing you see when you walk in. And it didn't help that we were a boisterous group making it hard for the other patrons to hear one another. Beware: The reviews says that it's good for groups, but they only cut the check 7 ways unless you have a negotiator with you (like us). Call closer to the time plan to eat to make sure that they have the space for you too.

    I have been coming here for some time since the food is good. I have had one of the worst service experiences with friends last night. The older lady who served us was extremely rude and rushed us out. FYI the kitchen apparently closes at 9:30, not 10 p.m. as advertised. They will come to your table at 9:25 after you order drinks and apps to tell you there is 5 minutes to order entrees. Then they will put the bill on the table in the middle of your dinner and make loud noises as they clean up around you.Maybe she was just having a bad night?

    We were so excited to eat here having heard such wonderful reviews of the food. Sadly, the service was extremely slow and not very friendly- others came in and were served before us in fact. It took more than 30 minutes to even get two glasses of water. Sad, and we won't be back!

    I've lived in Mount Vernon for over a year and half, and JUST discovered this place a couple of months ago. I wish I knew about it sooner because I always had to satisfy my thai curry cravings at Thai Landing. Stang of Siam is definitely one of the best places in Baltimore for Thai food. I LOVE their drunken noodles. The best thing about this dish is the abundance of vegetables in it. They put more vegetables than noodles into this dish, and the veggies are crisp and crunchy and not overcooked mush. It's great. More recently, I tried their spicy basil fried rice and their panang curry - both were delicious. I'm craving some of that incredible panang curry right now. It's good thai food... definitely worth a try! Who knows... you may fall madly in love with the food like I did!

    Stang of Siam gave me a reason to never order Chinese again. The food is fresh, the service is great, and to top it off they are on the corner of my street (very dangerous to have something so good so close). I've now been there four times and I'm sorry I haven't written a review sooner. Each time I've gotten something different and have never been disappointed - how can food consistently be so good? Tonight I walked over from Charm City Yoga after class and picked up carry out (first time doing that). Sometimes there's a risk associated with ordering out versus eating in... Not at Stang of Siam. Trying to be at least slightly health conscious, I decided not to order my favorite dish so far, Duck Gra Prao (fried crispy duck in a chili sauce with sweet basil); Instead I ordered the chicken version of Pad Gra Prao. The basil sauce was not very thick or heavy, and instead had a liquid consistency (but not soupy - it had just enough sauce). The dish was spicy, but not overbearing enough to mask the flavor. There were just enough green peppers and onions to compliment the dish, but neither the chicken nor the vegetables were lacking. It was served with a side of white rice, which I mixed in with the dish as I ate it. The picture I took doesn't do it justice, honestly. But the flavor is there, I promise. Again, trying to be health conscious I didn't order the spring rolls that I normally do. However, that order comes with three rolls with a light and zesty duck-sauce like sauce. They are enough to split between two to three people. Though they are packed with flavor, they don't leave your fingers with a greasy residue like your typical egg/spring roll. And to top off the delicious food, the atmosphere is calm, the service is good, and the food comes out quickly and prepared to order. I got really lucky living next to such a tasty place. I will never order Chinese take out again!

    I came here with a group of folks and everything we got was pretty good. We started off with the platter appetizer dish. It came with chicken satay (i've def had better at other restaurants), fried fish cakes and fried calamari, both of which were just OK- I did like how they provided 4 dipping sauces- fish sauce, peanut sauce, this honey dipping sauce and a vinegary sauce which were all good. The green papaya salad was NOT GOOD!!! There was absolutely no flavor, and it tasted like a bunch of greens were doused in fish sauce and nothing else- we were going to complain and ask they take it back to the kitchen but were too hungry to do so. Our entrees though were all really good- the drunken noodles, the other sweeter noodle dish, the panang curry with tofu, and the basil chicken fried rice were all good. We also got their mango with sticky rice for dessert, I prefer white rice versus black rice, but it was unique at least.

  • Samantha G.

    Ok, the food is still excellent, but I have to update my review to say that they no longer deliver to Hampden. I called them the other night, super hungry, psyched to order my usual dishes, even thinking I'd splurge on some dessert, only to hear "We don't deliver to you anymore. Too far." WHAT?!?! There is literally no decent place nearby to get Thai food, and I'm an 8 minute drive from their restaurant, IF that- especially at night and if you take Falls rd. I'm crushed, Stang of Siam :( You shouldn't have gotten me hooked, showing up at my doorstep with a big smile (and I tipped well) if you were going to quit on me. Now I see that Friend Kitchen just introduced a new Thai menu and I may have to try it out...

    Stang of Siam is one of our family favorites in Baltimore restaurants!! Since my first review of this restaurant, I have been back here with my family at least four other times. Both the food and the drinks are incredible! The portion sizes are huge, we usually order one or two entrees and share them family style between the three of us. On one visit, we really wanted sticky rice for dessert, but mangoes were out of season, the chef was kind enough to provide us the sticky rice, but insisted in adding a scoop of coconut ice cream on top - OMG - it was AMAZING!! Really, we are going to see if they will give us that option again! I know we will be heading back to Stang of Siam soon! See you there!!

    A solid 3.5-star experience - although half stars aren't allowed here. We went on a Saturday night without a reservation, were told that it would be 20-30 minutes to get a table, but were sat within 10, before we even got our drinks from the bar. The service was great. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was trendy and enjoyable. The mai tais and teas were fantastic. And they have a really cute upstairs area for large groups. Now the reasons for 3 instead of 5 stars: 1) I read another review of the drunken noodles, which I ordered, that stated they were super spicy. I would have to disagree. I even asked for extra spicy (given that I actually enjoy a case of heartburn after dinner). My friends, who were also in attendance, said that they have been many times before and the level of spicy on any given night depends purely on who is in the kitchen. 2) Another review stated that the mango sticky rice dessert was an absolute must-do. Unfortunately they were so busy that our food took a bit of time to arrive and we didn't have time for dessert before our show (total time from order to arrival of food was close to 40 minutes). 3) Their chairs were extremely uncomfortable. This may seem like a weird notation but the fact that I noticed how incredibly sore my ass was by the time I left, even though the mood was good so it was registered as a lighthearted comment, just says that it was obvious they needed padding or something. Still, I will definitely be back...and I will try to leave enough time for the mango dessert next time!

    Opted for the green chicken curry, spring rolls, Thai iced tea and mango sticky rice. Everything was well-prepared and tasty. Spicy but not overly so. Informal atmosphere. Good date place.

  • Gene L.

    The best thai food I've had in Baltimore. Thai restaurants nowadays are a dime a dozen, but this place stands out. The only reason I give it 4 stars is the service is unreasonably slow. It kills me a little to rate it lower because of how good the food is across the board, but I can't imagine what takes so long to bring the food out. I judge thai restaurants now on their drunken noodles, and this place has consistently had one of the best. The pad thai, pad see ew, and other thai staples are just as good. If you're craving thai food, definitely order carryout from this place. The food is ready in 15 minutes.

    Food was absolutely awful (not edible- ended up throwing it out), and service over the phone was even worse. To top things off? Possible credit card fraud - pretty sure they used my card for other purchases as i had to cancel it soon after i made a purchase at this restaurant.

  • Jarrod F.

    Yay I'm the 100th review!!! So I work very close to stang of siam and I probably eat here once a week on average. First off, this is not your standard Thai cuisine. This is special little spot and I'd rate it as the best Thai restaurant in Baltimore, hands down. In terms of layout, the place looks clean and sleek. It's located off the beaten path and it feels like a restaurant that deserves your attention. Not only did the owner spend years gutting the place and redoing every inch but he did a swell job. I just wish the bar in the back was a bit bigger so that more than 3 people can sit on it at a time. The food is eclectic, unique and very Thai. The stang noodles and everything off the special menu is absolutely delicious. The soups are superb, spring rolls are crispy and delicate and the shrimp pot sticker thingies are totally rad. I've never had a bad meal here. Stang has one major flaw.. it's service. The people here can be a bit aloof. Sometimes they forgot stuff, like my credit card. But hey, their nice people so I can't be too harsh.

    Finding this restaurant was quite easy! This was a great welcome back to land food after eating cruise cuisine for a week. The location is beyond Chase St situated on a bother facing the inner harbor side. Parking by there is side street parking so be prepared for parallel parking. Walking inside this quaint eatery is open wide and warm. The rich chocolate browns calm your hunger as you are greeted by staff who escort you to seated tables. Sit by the window and look out on the streets, sit by the bar with a large flat screen TV, or upstairs in an upper den eating area. There is large art wall decor and soothing music. The tables adorned with flowers. The menu unlike I've ever seen are wooden covered menus with various art. Open it to see a variety of Thai food. The service was quick, friendly, and the food was played well and fresh! The meal was delicious and tasty. When in town, I will have to return!

  • Kerry P.

    Excellent restaurant. They have vegetarian options for lunch - most of which can be made vegan. The people working here are delightful. They cheerfully greet you and bid you farewell when you leave. The food was incredible. Lunch includes a little salad and a little something like a wonton I forgot to ask the name of. The accompanying peanut sauce was terrific and spicy. We got the eggplant and tofu, and the drunken noodle with tofu. Fabulous! The waitress was very careful in thinking about what was in the dish to make sure we could eat it. We will happily choose this restaurant again!

  • Julie S.

    Like the food but Delivery is always a terrible experience. Has taken a full 90-120 minutes each time we've ordered (we live only 1 mile from the restaurant) and we always have to call at the 90 minute mark and complain. I should've learned my lesson the last few times but we're just desperate for good delivery food! Definitely not worth the wait though...always feel ravenous by the time it arrives and sometimes it can arrive cold since they only have one driver and as the lady on the phone said "he had a thousand orders to deliver." Way understaffed on delivery drivers. Only order if you have 90 minutes before you'll be hungry and don't mind reheating....also the lady on the phone is rude and could care less people are waiting so long. While I was on hold she answered another line and I could hear the whole conversation - someone else complaining they had been waiting over 90 minutes. This is commonplace there but they obviously do nothing to change it. A shame.

  • Judy L.

    The Pad Thai is pretty authentic. One of the most authentic Pad Thai's I have had on the east coast. Their red curry is also very good. Unfortunately, the Pad See Ew was overdone and the noodles were too soggy and the ratio of salt/sweet was off. Otherwise, delicious. I always stop by if I am passing through Baltimore.

  • Kris L.

    Downgraded to 3.5 stars after coming here a few more times...service and food were just not consistent to my first visit! The ambience: clean and classy...yet at the same time it was friendly, welcoming, and fun. They use a lot of colors in their decor and plating which definitely adds to the warm welcome. The food: --the Apps were amazing : I loved the Curry Puffs (perfectly light, puffy, and sweet), Chicken Satay (i never had an opinion about chicken satay because it's chicken satay but here it's HEAVEN), Goong Sarong (shrimp in deep fried rice paper? u cannot go wrong) *notes on my return visit a few months later they were out of most of their appetizers! --the Entrees:everyone loved their dish and we had 8 different things! Favs were the pad thai (simple but delicious) and the green curry (amazing balance of flavors! spot on people) --the Desserts: the mango sticky rice was a huge disappointment (rice was way underdone and hard), but the custard was out of this WORLD. i could see myself going back just for that dessert The service: spotty. Three of our orders were brought out incorrectly and they accused us of ordering things wrong instead of just fixing them....disappointing!

    Stang of Siam... I was wavering between three stars or four stars, but I opted to be generous and go with the four stars. The food here is fantastic. There's no other way to describe it. It's probably got the best Thai cuisine in Baltimore. The spring rolls here are classic, but I've learned that the Goon Sarong is a better, more adventurous pick. The mango salad is legit, with just the right amount of spice. The Pad Se-Ew is the best I've ever had -- it's flavorful, soft, and perfectly oiled. And the Basil Fried Rice was surprisingly good as well. However, I'd skip the Thai drinks. Both the Thai iced tea and the Thai coffee tasted like pure sugar water, which is very different than what I'm used to. Overall, there's no denying that the food here is amazing. I was contemplating three stars only because service is quite lacking. For the whole first floor (which was constantly busy), there was only one waitress and one helper who'd deliver the ready-made food. I kind of feel sorry that she was the only server, but it is what it is. This place seems to be busy up until closing hours.

    Stang of Siam has great food. Best place for Thai food in Baltimore at the moment. It is perfect for birthdays, causal business dinners, and any other situation where you want to sit and chat for a while. That is because the food takes a long time to come. Regardless of whether you are in a packed restaurant, or one of two tables between standard meal times, the food takes a long time to come. Initially this was frustrating, but the food is worth it. The Duck Salad is one of my favorites. Its a nice portion for an appetizer. It is tangy, and tasty. The noodle dishes are all good, cannot go wrong with either the pad thai, pad see ew, or the drunken noodles Deserving special mention is also the pineapple fried rice. Not only is it great, but it come in a cored half pineapple. Again, best place for Thai food in Baltimore.

  • Food L.

    Great location and food was great! This may turn out to be one of my local favs until I can find something better - which I doubt will be anytime soon. The Thai fried rice was good and so was everything else we had. I'll definitely be back soon!!

  • Nichole B.

    Boy oh boy. What can I say but yummo. The best thai food I have tasted in Baltimore yet. I went for lunch last friday and you get alot for 10 dollars. Everything is good, from the spring rolls, the won ton soup, the beef salad, the gra prao seafood, the drunken noodles. There is always the right amount of spice for yoru palate. And yes the major plus is the BYOB, lemme say it again folks, BYOB. The decor is amazing, from the deep chocolate painted walls to the amazing asian sculptures in the windows. And I would even recommend this place for a quiet cozy date night with your beau. Also another plus is that it offers an plethora vegan delights for the non carnivores. So meat eaters and non meat eaters can dine in harmony. The location is great because you have the convience of liqour stores nearby such as Calvins. I think it is a great addition to the Mount Vernon neighborhood, now the residents have more food choices on the Calvert street side. I hope they stick around for a long time.

    Five stars not for its supremacy or incomparable food, but it's consistently good service, good food and accessible/affordable lunch options if you're gun-shy about paying for dinner [which is worth it btw]. I've tried many things on a fairly large menu and I can't say anything was singular but all were fairly solid and appreciable. The one gem here though is the "Sticky rice with mango." [dessert]. Don't visit without trying that.

  • Kelly L.

    I have to admit, when the restaurant first opened, the food was good but not great. I've gone back a few times since because it's affordable, open late, and located near my house. I must say every time I eat here, the food gets better and better. It is also vegetarian and vegan friendly, which is a huge bonus! If you're vegan, they don't use fish sauce in any of their veg dishes (just be sure to ask for no egg). I highly recommend the Tofu Pad Thai, Pad Prig King Tofu, and the Drunken Noodles with Tofu. Trust me you will no regret it!

  • Ed W.

    First off - food was excellent! Had the salmon panang curry. Sauce was great, the salmon had an unexpected crispiness to it which I liked, and the vegetables were fresh. If I had any issue, it would be that the asparagus in the dish seemed a little too firm. The service was okay, no real complaints. It wasn't very crowded and our food seemed to arrive when it should have. It was freezing in there though! Even after drinking some jasmine tea, I had to put my coat back on. Our waiter and the bartender were wearing their coats while working. Seemed a little ridiculous.

  • Joseph K.

    In the words of Larry David, this place is "Pretty good...pretty pretty good." I love the environment. Very modern, simple, yet elegant, yet casual at the same time. Love how they use their space. Love the upstairs area..love the colorful lively bar area in full view. All of the following had a different type of meat (chicken, beef, pork are the same price seafood is greater) The noodles were a good texture, chewy, slimy..like good thai rice noodles. The flavors were great and powerful. The portion sizes are great. (except the rice that comes with curry ....miserably small portion of rice) Prices are a little steep in my book, but overall it's not too bad for thai food in the area. All the meats were cooked ok. ..nothing overly tender or amazing, but good infusion of the flavors Please family style to get the most out of this place ..take bits of everything. 4 dishes + 1 app for 4 22 year old men. We were full. One more dish would have definitely been overkill. 1) Fried calamari - I love the extra crispy crust on this. Use your hands because it'll break with a fork. The calamari was a little inconsistent. Some were overcooked and too rubbery. Others were perfect. The peanut chili sweet sauce is...the bawsss souusseee I could drink this for days. 2) Stang noodles chef special - a seafood pad see ew/drunken noodle type dish. I would expect lots of places to skimp on the seafood. But it had a decent amount. 3 large mussels, 3.5ish medium scallops (huge + in my book), and a few squid. Great stuff. 3) pad see ew - This was a slight disappointment. People in my party haven't had much pad see ew and so weren't comparing to other pad see ews they've had. Strictly based on taste, we all agreed it was too sweet and too salty. Almost too much flavor. If I had to eat this by myself, I wouldn't even get through half of it. I'm hoping it was a fluke ...I might have to get it again sometime because it is my favorite dish. It's probably the worst pad see ew i've had, just too overwhelming, but in the end still decent. 4) Panang curry - too much coconut milk for me. Might just be preference. Hid the spiciness WAY too much. Decent flavor, good amount. Miserably small portion of rice though ...really sad actually ..no way someone could handle that much curry (especially with that milk) and cut down on the richness with such a small portion of rice. 5) chicken basil fried rice- Not an overwhelming flavor of basil, but in the end it was slightly mundane. It was good but it didn't explode in my mouth. Not a 5 mostly because of the small rice portion for the curry, the over coconuty flavor of the curry, and the excess sweet and salty flavor of the pad see ew. But a very solid 4, on the verge of a 4.5 At the end of the meal I forgot to put a squeeze of lime on everything. I had to do it for some of the smaller left over bits and it was amazing. Sqeeze that lime!! goes great with the richness of all the flavors. Will be back for more!!

    Deemed the best Thai in Baltimore by many a friend, I'm not as big a fan of Stang. I find some of the dishes too sugary or too salty. The only times I drop by Stang is during the weekdays for their $10 lunch special.

  • Hansoo J.

    The ambiance is very somewhat mysterious yet inviting. The dinning area is enclosed in dark wood and surrounded by several stone buddha statues. However, it is also very open and well lit. The menu was well-organized and even has a section filled with vegetarian options. Our table ordered green curry with chicken, panang curry with chicken, and pad gra pao with chicken. The green curry was slightly milder than the panang but both were excellent. They had the right balance of smooth coconut milk and robust spices. The ginger or galangal flavor was subtle and added just the right amount of bite. I would highly recommend these dishes. The pad gra pao was ok. The flavors were good, but not really noteworthy. It didn't taste significantly better than a something I could get elsewhere. The dish was also a bit too salty and could have used a more robust chili flavor. The portion size was also a bit lacking for the price. My one major complaint about the food was the rice. First of all, the rice portion that comes with the food is super small. The ration of curry to rice is about 3-to-1. Second, extra rice costs $2.00! I'm not a fan of asian restaurants charging for rice in general but $2.00 is crazy. In summary, this is definitely a great place for Thai food and as close as it gets to authentic in Baltimore. However, I would recommend going here with a other people in order to get a wide sampling of the restaurant's offerings.

    this place is great. we ordered take out. the drunken noodles were great! not too oily but not as spicy as usual. we also got the pad see ew which was good. it looked exactly like the drunken noodles but it was sweet. the red curry looked like yellow curry. you can taste the coconut and sweet. will come again!

  • Nicole E.

    Great food, great service, and BYOB! That's right, the place is awaiting its liquor license (they think it will take about two months) and is allowing guests to BYOB in the interim. There is a liquor store right next door (Calvins) for your convenience. The place is already out of the ordinary - crowded in Midtown Belvedere on a Wednesday! Thai food isn't my first choice, but the pad thai was flavorful and delicious. I wouldn't recommend the Tom Yum Goong; it smelled amazing, but tasted like a bowl of lime juice. My friends enjoyed the spring rolls and the edamame was a perfect temperature without too much salt. The place is in an old row house. There is seating on the a second floor loft (think a shrunken XS meets Marie Louise).. Everything is brown and appears dark and drained, but the waiter was nice. The owner has two places in DC so there is hope for longevity, and a much needed new neighborhood Thai institution.

  • Ben B.

    I hate to buck the trend of 5 stars, but that doesn't at all mean this place isn't excellent. I admit, I was a little skeptical. It's kind of off the beaten trail, yet is still doing the whole upscale, fancy-shmancy look, which threw me off a bit. But the place delivers. I had the drunken noodles, which was not only an enormous portion, but it was excellently spiced and cooked. $12 is about average for thai, but the portion was very generous. My friend got some tofu-related dish, which was also great. Tofu in a lot of thai dishes I've had can be a bit mushy and flavorless, but they really did a good job infusing the flavor into it, so it was a big hunk of tasty. Definitely recommend.

  • Rhonda S.

    This place is fab! I love going here for lunch. They have a pretty awesome lunch special, $10 for an entree, spring roll and soup or salad. However, thats dine in only. If you carry out its regular price. This places measure up well to my other go to Thai, Navi Thai in Wheaton, Where this place gets it wrong is on service. Carryout service has usually been cold and borderline rude. There also always seems to be a problem. One day the credit card machine was down, the next time manager was late and apparently the employees only know how to cook or serve. They ended up closing the restaurant because no could work the register. Thank goodness my group had exact cash or else this restaurant would have been out of $50 bucks.

    Dinner on a Tuesday night with a friend - was more crowded than expected especially for a Tuesday night. We got drunken noodles with chicken and pad prik king with chicken - both delicious and highly satisfying. Service was timely and good. Food, as always, fresh and excellent. Will definitely go again!

  • Billy S.

    I agree with whoever said there was a lack of key (and honestly cheaper) ingredients in some of their dishes. I felt like my delicious (and spicy! which is good for me) drunken noodles barely had any noodles...? Carb friendly I guess. They were still very good, and I would suggest trying them. The calamari is just not good, I highly suggest NOT getting it. Barely cooked rings of tastelessness. I have also gotten the pad thai and asked for it hot and it was barely mild compared to the hotness of the DN. The chicken pad thai was still delicious, esp. what I took home and added sriracha to. I have gotten delivery (I am lazy) and it took about an hour on a weekend night, which is to be expected. All in all pretty solid Thai food for a semi-reasonable price right in my neighborhood. I will def be back.

    My absolute favorite restaurant in Baltimore! Baltimore, like most other small cities, lacks a high bar for restaurants. Given that, I believe this restaurant exceeds my expectations. The intimate atmosphere and delicious dishes create a quality dining experience. Staff can be bit more friendly though.

    My favorite Thai place in Baltimore. I've never had a dish that I didn't enjoy. The sauces are always flavorful, and the portions are just right. (Although more is always better because you can always have leftovers the next day) The only downfall I would say is that there isn't enough space in between the tables. I'm a huge fan of Thai iced tea and I would give theirs a 6 out of 10. I need to find a good Thai iced tea spot in Baltimore ASAP.

    With the cold weather settling in, my friend and I decided to go on a spontaneous quest for some hot soup. We had originally planned on going to Mekhong Delta, only to be mildly devastated when we discover that they weren't open on Mondays. While still reeling with disappointment, I remembered that once on an ill-advised walk from Peabody to Penn Station, I had came across this small corner-restaurant and logged it away for future reference. Coincidentally, we ran into another friend who mentioned that the food here was bomb so we decided that if we couldn't have pho, some curry would make an acceptable alternative. We weren't disappointed. For such a small store-front in the semi-middle-of-nowhere, Stang of Siam delivered. Rating Breakdown: 2/2 Stars for Taste - My friend ordered the Cashew Shrimp while I ordered the Green Curry with Beef. My curry came with eggplant and tender bamboo shoots, SO GOOD. My mouth was in ecstasy. The giant shrimp were succulent while the light coat of batter stayed crispy in the red sauce. We also ordered Thai Iced Coffee and Iced Tea. While I wasn't a fan of the iced coffee, the iced tea was delicious. Everything was authentic, none of that fake Spring Fair fare. 1/1 Stars for Value - Thai food tends to be on the expensive side, so i was resigned to spend a bit more. Each dinner entree was about $13-16, depending on what kind of meat option you chose. Speciality dishes ran at from $16-20. With one entree and a drink each, my friend and I ended up paying about $21 each, including tax and tip. 1/1 for Customer Service - Our friend told us to expect a bit of a wait, but we were seated immediately upon entering. The waiters were very friendly. When I asked one for advice on which curry I should choose, she patiently answered all my questions. The food came quickly, water glasses stayed full, all was good in the 'hood. Bonus Star because I would definitely come here again. It's kind of a "thai" (ahahahaha I crack myself up) between here and Thai Landing for me right now. Stang of Siam has a barfront and a more of a modern feel. I definitely recommend trying both of these places and finding your own preference, because both are simplyamazing!

    Ordered delivery--absolutely delicious and was on time. Will order Thai from here every time. Yum!

    Food here is solid. Personally I think you can find just as good quality Thai food at Thai Arroy on Light Street. Every time I've ordered here for pick up, I've been told the wait time which varies between 10-20 minutes-WHICH IS NOT TRUE! I've had to wait 10-30 minutes in addition to the wait time given to me over the phone. I would appreciate some honesty and have them give me a more accurate wait time, so I'm not just standing their at the restaurant watching everyone else eat. Their lunch specials are cheap and great...if you want to enjoy, just make sure you have nothing scheduled shortly after lunch because this restaurant is highly understaffed and will take a long time for your food to come out.

    Newly opened, Stang has a colorful array of thai yumminess. Yes, I said yumminess. I strolled in on Tuesday evening and ordered the Pad Gra Prao- Seafood. Savory and delicious with every bite. Currently they don't have a liquor license, so the plus is....BYOB! That's right bring a bottle in while you dine. They also boast an awesome lunch menu.

    We have passed by Stang several times since it has opened, and have usually been intimidated by the crowd inside. The full tables in addition to some of the Yelpers' comments here about slow service made us cautious about going. An expiring Living Social coupon finally forced us to act, and are we happy we did. Service and wait time: I know that in the restaurant business every night is different, and I have no doubt that some of the other Yelpers had to wait for their food. Last night, however, with a full dining room, our three (that's right, three) waitresses were prompt, friendly, and helpful. Appetizers (curry puffs, special pumpkin version is just amazing with silky smooth texture and nice sweet pumpkin flavor) came out in about 5 minutes, then entrees came out about ten minutes after we were done with those. Your results may vary, but service was prompt. Food was probably best Thai we've had in Baltimore. (As a reference, best Thai I've had was at a little hole-in-the-wall on Kapahulu Ave near Ono's in Honolulu that I think is closed now and second best is at Rice in DC.) The real surprise was the mango and sticky rice. Plenty of flavorful mango surrounding a mound of black rice topped with a sauce that seemed like thinned and way less cloying sweetened condensed milk. The thing about the black rice is that it retains a little bit of body, so that the dish is not the typical mound of glutinous starch you get at most Thai joints. This mango and sticky rice is by far the best we've ever had.

    Last night, I came home from work exhausted and decided it was definitely a dinner delivery kind of night. I hadn't yet tried Stang of Siam and since they were available through Eat24Hours.com , I thought I'd give it a go. I'm SO glad I did! For an app, I got the chicken satay. I can never pass up peanut sauce! The chicken was thinly sliced, well-cooked, and came with a small container of slightly-too-sweet peanut sauce and another of pickled vegs. Overall, a decent start to the meal (even if a bit pricey). For my entree, I opted for the shrimp pad thai. Overall, this dish was quite solid. The portion was generous (big enough to share, if you're having starters and/or dessert) and came with a container of chopped peanuts and a wedge of lime to squeeze on top. Some pad thai has no flavor, but this one had a subtle sweetness and really satisfying chew to it with the inclusion of the sprouts and pieces of fried tofu--to say nothing of the 8 or so large shrimp perched around the edges. Eventually, I set the noodles aside and decided to try dessert. I got the Stang's custard, each component of which had come individually wrapped. There was a patty of black sticky rice; a square of taro custard, which was rich and sweet; a small container of coconut milk sauce, which added a hint of saltiness to balance it out; and another small container of a crunchy topping that I couldn't place but which was quite tasty. Being a fan of leftovers, I had also ordered a container of medium-spicy drunken noodles with beef, so this afternoon, after having skipped breakfast, I decided to dig into that treasure. All I can say is DEELISH! Perfectly cooked, expertly seasoned, and just spicy enough to have a bit of a kick, the noodles were accompanied by slivered onion and pepper, sweet halved cherry tomatoes, and basil leaves, along with tender-thin slices of beef. I would order this again and again! I'm sure that dining in at the restaurant provides an even better experience food-wise, but even for delivery, I was very pleased with all my choices--as well as with the leftovers they yielded! I'm looking forward to making this a regular choice for delivery (and in-person dining) in the future!

    I have been here now twice, both for dinner. It's a small place but the ambiance is nice and cozy with Buddhist-related decor. The food: - Appetizer: Chicken satay was good. Liked the peanut sauce and pickled chopped veggies as well. - Soup: Tom yang goong was tasty, but I like mine hotter (temp-wise) and spicier. It was a bit mild and lukewarm. Still, 3 big plump shrimps in the soup are a plus. - Entrees: Pad see eew is a bit on the sweeter side, but still good. Stang noodle has a good amount of seafood (shrimp, mussel, and squid) and overall very tasty! My friends had beef panang curry and chicken green curry. Both were flavorful. They could serve a bigger portion of rice though. - Service: The wait staff are a bit slow. It's hard to catch their attention to get more water, order other things, request a check, or even pay. Still, the servers are nice and try to accommodate customers. Definitely will come back for another dinner, try out their lunch menus, and recommend to my friends :)

    Solid flavors and pricing -- not necessarily my favorite in town but I would recommend as long as parking isn't an issue and if you're nearby. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to go here though

    Great new Thai addition to bmore. Food excellent, decor best in town, service was fine. Went for the chicken basil -excellent. Also seafood drunken noodles were excellent. Edamame a tad over cooked. Not quite as good as Thai restaurant in greenmount but the neighborhood is much safer. Give it a shot!

  • Derek I.

    The reigning champ of tastiest Thai food in Bmore! Tip: Position yourself comfortably towards the HDTV at the bar because you are going to have to WAIT a while---but it is sooooo worth it! Thai beef salad = neutral. The beef was tender and well-marinated however the rice vinegar dressing overwhelmed the otherwise solid dish. Soup = excellent. The savory Tom Kha Ghai (coconut) hits the spot on a frigid Bmore night. Though the soup is presented in a very wide and shallow bowl so it gets cold quickly--so just ask for it extra hot! Curries = superb. The curry-to-vegetable ratio is perfect. We had the massaman and green curries were uber-flavorful, creamy and hearty. Noodles = solid. Topped with fresh vegetables, the pad-see ew had the right amount of heat and the soy-base sauce had near perfect balance of sweet, sour and saltiness. Drunken noodles were not as good---we did not care for the sauce as much however it was still good.

    They had a little bobble with some turnover of staff in late December/early January, but they seem to be back and better than ever. This may be the Thai place that Baltimore has been waiting for. Thoughtfully prepared and presented Thai food in a beautiful space, reclaiming a little-used corner of Mt. Vernon. Not a thing wrong with that.

    WORST DELIVERY SERVICE EVER!!! I placed a delivery order through Eat 24 and when the delivery driver came to the lobby, he called me and told me how he wouldn't deliver to my unit. I asked him why not and he had the nerve to tell me how he didn't have time to do this b/c he had other orders...even though he was already in the lobby and my unit was just an elevator ride up...keep in mind, this is HIS JOB!!! So, I tell him it's just an elevator ride up and then he raises his voice at me, and then tells me "Dude, I don't have time for your sh*t!!". Needless to say, I was pissed and told him to forget the whole order. I get a call from the concierge desk at my building, and the concierge tells me the delivery guy left my food anyway...right on the floor of the lobby between the elevators...where everyone walks through. So, I call Eat 24 and tell them what happened...of course, they refund all my money (including the friggin' tip I gave the delivery driver since it was a CC order). The good thing was, Eat 24 said they would have an Account Manager contact the restaurant to discuss the incident. But I wanted to call the restaurant too and let them know that this is completely unacceptable...the Manager/Owner said they "try to have people pick up the food in the lobby b/c of safety concerns for the drivers"...now, this would make sense if perhaps I lived in a bad neighborhood, but considering I live in a luxury high rise, I find this laughable at best. Needless to say, I tell the owner what the delivery driver said and she finally got it...they'll "talk to the driver"...whether this happens or not, I'm not holding my breath. I refused to eat the food and threw it away...it's funny how I never seem to have a problem ordering from other places where their drivers actually understand that they have to actually complete the whole "delivery" part of the process as part of their jobs. With delivery drivers like this (at Stang of Siam), I might as well get my food myself!! I mean, seriously, why the hell would I want to pay someone to half-deliver my food to me, then give me grief??!!?? Stang of Siam - here's a message for you: Do you honestly want a delivery driver to represent your restaurant who is as rude, stupid and unfriendly as the DBag who delivered my food to me??!!?? Who knows how many other people he's pissed off half-delivering your food?? To other YELP readers: Beware of the horrendous delivery service here!! This restaurant definitely stays true to their name...they really are the "Stang" of Siam...order here, and you will get STUNG! There are plenty of other restaurants that will deliver you food in a timely fashion, all the way to your front door, and be courteous at the same time. I know, what a novel concept huh? But don't take my word for it...BUYER BEWARE: order here at your own risk!

    Food is still good, and the lunch time menu is very reasonable. But the price of green tea was ridiculous. I happened to know which brand of tea they use and how much it cost, and charging $3 for a tea bag is a total robbery. Even Starbucks charged less. Next time I will just ask for a hot water and bring my own tea bag; it's the same tea and mine cost the tenth of what they charge.

    Really confused about the hype. A lot of reviews criticized the sparse decor and slow service, but praised the food. Our experience was the exact opposite! We went for lunch on a rainy Saturday afternoon, hoping for some spice to cheer us up. They didn't have the dish Colin originally wanted, so he settled for the Pad See Ew and I ordered the Pad Thai. Both of our dishes were ridiculously sweet. They were even sweeter than the Thai iced tea, which tasted like it had three desserts worth of sugar in it. I know both those dishes can lean toward the sweeter side, but the amount of sweetness we tasted made the meal almost unbearable. On the upside, the service was very attentive and our food was prompt. Also, I thought the wooden check presenters were pretty unique.

  • Brian A.

    Stang of Siam was good but not spectacular. I visited in hopes of finding my favorite Thai joint in Baltimore. Instead I now have a three way "Thai" between Stang of Siam, Thai Restaurant, and Thai Arroy. We ordered Thai Iced Tea, Pad Thai and Pad see Ew. Thai Iced Tea was delicious, creamy and a little spiced. The Pad Thai was standard but good but a very slight and strange after taste bothered me. The Pad see Ew was delicious. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. The interior is nice but everything is brown, a little color might be nice. The lighting is dark and makes for a more comfortable date environment than Thai Restaurant or Thai Arroy but the price is slightly higher.

    I saw so many reviews of this place, and as its right by my house we decided that we would go there for the SO's birthday. We got the app combo and a tofu noodle dish. I dont know that I loved it, but I liked it enough. The prices are similar to other places around the area-- the mango mojito was not as yummy as the lychee martini? And I had the SO finish my mango drink while i sipped on his drink. The room was uber crowded -- they tried to shove as many tables in the place as they could (it seemed that way anyway). It looked like it was hard for the waitresses/waiters to get to the tables.

    Great place! Been here three times in the past couple of months - twice for dinner and once for lunch. The lunch special is great ($10 for entree plus soup and spring roll) and the menu is very vegetarian friendly. Service has been impeccable every time. The servers are attentive and keep your water glass full, which is crucial when you eat something spicy like their drunken noodles! I've been there towards the end of the night with some friends, and the servers gave us more hot water for our tea - without being asked - even though we were the last party and they must have been ready to close up. Very nice. It's the little things. The space is lovely and there are lots of nice details, like the wooden box that they bring your bill in. Food is delicious, but minus one star because it's a bit heavier than I like my Thai food. The tofu seems a little greasy to me. If I could give half stars, I'd give this place a solid 4.5. Pretty good for Thai, and great for Thai in Baltimore.

    The food was delicious. It was made and delivered in a very timely manner. The staff was nice and receptive. We split the Panang Curry, with tofu and the Pad eggplant with chicken. Some of the best Thai food I have ever had. It was decorated beautifully, it is in a renovated Mount Vernon row house, but the space has been opened up.

  • N H.

    Best Thai in Baltimore, hands down! Freshly made and unbelievably delicious. Tod Mun Goong was the best I've ever had anywhere. Garden Herb Roll was crunchy, fresh & bursting with flavor. Panang Tofu was peanutty & wonderfully spicy, and the standard Pad Thai did not disappoint with an added smokiness from grilled chicken. Yummmm!! Oh, and the service was excellent too, even though it was a busy, hot Saturday night.

    Wow, what a change! :-( During the Christmas holiday this restaurant was closed for "renovations" so once the New Year (2012) started, we decided to go once again to this favorite restaurant of ours. What a difference. The staff is all new and not nearly as good as before. They were inattentive, slow and unorganized. I'm not sure what happened to this place but we sure won't be attending as we have prior to these changes. In 2011, it was a stand out, now... not so much. Shame... Hopefully they'll turn this around.

    Oh, never underestimate the power of a solid Thai restaurant. I have been to Stang of Siam for both lunch and dinner and am so grateful to have this little gem only a mile from my work. Dinner selections offer an extensive menu selection in hearty portions. For lunch you can select entrees in slightly smaller portions and for $10, they are served with a cup of soup and two small spring rolls. A wide portion of both the lunch and dinner menu is vegetarian-friendly. You can't beat that! The tom yum tofu soup is by far my favorite appetizer on the menu and definitely doesn't skimp on the delicious lemongrass flavor! It's offered with other ingredients such as seafood for those of you who need to fulfill your carnivore cravings. The pad see ew (wide noodles with egg and a slightly sweet soy-based sauce) is my absolute favorite! The green curry, drunken noodles and pad thai are all delicious as well. I've also heard the basil fried rice is pretty amazing. The restaurant boasts a very nice minimalist design inside, although it can be very quiet at times. There are nice little touches such as the wooden boxes they bring your check in. The staff members are always super-friendly. I am never disappointed when I leave this place!

    Stang of Siam has saved me from Federal Hill! Until now, I used to only go to Federal Hill to get my Thai food fix but Stang of Siam not only does the trick but it is absolutely delicious. Not only are they delicious but they have a special vegetarian menu which helps cut down my menu reading time. I had the vegetable red curry and the herb garden rolls. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. The herb rolls were super refreshing. Often times when I have eggplant in my curry dishes, I find that they are smushy but these were cooked to perfection and paired with tasty fried tofu in a rich and flavorful red curry. I also liked the ambiance. It was simple, yet sophisticated, and all brown decor(my favorite color, just a bonus!) The prices are what you would expect for a Thai restaurant in Baltimore but being a student I'm stoked that they have an awesome lunch special which I plan to go back for. The server told me that 7 days a week, they have a lunch special that includes spring rolls, soup, and lunch entree w/ rice for 10$. A pretty good deal if you ask me! Welcome to the neighborhood, Stang of Siam!

  • Patty P.

    The best Thai food I have ever had. Went here on a Saturday afternoon. I was surprised because the place was empty. We were the only people there. For our appetizer we had the Goong sarong shrimps wrapped in rice paper. Very good. My favorite part of the meal was my entree of Pad gra prao with beef - spicy with great flavors of basil and chili garlic sauce. My husband had the Drunken noodles - which were good by not as good as my dish. I can't wait to go here again.

    What an amazing location for a party! I love the delicious food and calm atmosphere here so I decided to invite friends for a birthday dinner on a Friday night. The staff was as helpful as could be with planning and was very flexible as my guest list grew. Despite the large size of our party (nearly 20 people), the evening went off without a hitch with food and drinks coming quickly and an adept waitstaff handling everything with the charming calm that comes with experience. There was some confusion with the checks, but that is to be expected with such a large party. So far the best restaurant experience in Baltimore.

    The first thing I noticed about this place is its dark, and rather cold interior. The large buddhas around the place were cool (especially their wooden buddha menus), but the overall atmosphere just felt somewhat uninviting. Or maybe it was because of the lady who served us, who barely, if ever at all, smiled. I ordered their drunken noodles (as you do when you come to Thai restaurants, ha) and although the plate and setup was really pretty, the noodles were just way WAY too oily! My (only) favorite thing about this place is definitely their mango sticky rice which was so pretty and super tasty :) If I ever have to come to this place again, I'd probably just stick to their desserts.

  • L. T.

    This saddens me because it was one of my favorite new restaurants. Went for a treat tonight, and found the entire menu had changed, and much for the worse. Where's the larb tofu? The fried tofu the staff suggested instead was poorly prepared - soggy in the middle and an uninspired sauce. The soup has become "wonton soup." Nearly everything has become more and more generic - the spring rolls seem like they were prepared from frozen. A reviewer below mentions that they've lost staff in recent months, and whomever they lost were the talented ones. Now if only I could find out where they now work...

    Let me start of by divulging that my sister and I are those jerks who like to take her 2 year old with us wherever we go (including restaurants) for the usual reasons: he likes to eat, he needs to be exposed to people, he needs to learn how to act in public, etc. So this weekend we were all feeling a little under the weather and I really wanted some Tom Yum soup, so we went to Stang of Siam for lunch. The waitress was very patient with my nephew (in his defense he was not acting horrible, which is totally in his repertoire, but he was "chatting" with us and looking around at the other patrons a bit, and playing with the table decor). The food was really good (pumpkin puff appetizer was crazy amazing!!!!! chicken fried rice was a hit with everyone at the table; ginger chicken was tasty, but not the best ginger chicken dish I have ever had) . My only issue, was that the waitress seemed to be extremely preoccupied with everything else except our table. She chased a guy down who steals every single "open" sign they buy and put out (she did not unfortunately recover the sign); she cleaned and chatted. I had to ask for my tea twice, and the other waiter ended up refilling our water when he saw us thirstily looking at him refill his tables' glasses. Other than growing very thirsty from the lack of beverage service, our visit was pleasant. I did order the mango sticky rice to go, and was disappointed when I got home and opened the container. They really skimped on the rice, which I would imagine is the cheap portion of the dessert, so I think they could have really given more. Also, they use oyster and fish sauce in a lot of their dishes; as someone with a seafood allergy I find it hit or miss with Thai restaurants, whether they use the sauces in everything, or offer it on the side. So be warned if you have a seafood allergy! However once I made them aware of this issue, they were very accommodating and helpful with suggestions. Bottom line: The Tom Yum worked and I am cured! Also, the food was tasty, the service was ok, they are accommodating to people with food allergies (just be wary), I will be back!

    Oh Stang, I am conflicted. Your food is very good (4 star food), yet your service is soooo slow (2?). We've been to Stang 3-4 times, and every time, the service is so slow. I would avoid if you are in a rush. The mango dessert is amazing. Dishes are a little overpriced for dinner. Ended up with 4 because when you're yelping, you are generally looking for food quality.

    Nice ambience, dark wood all around, pleasant servers. Stopped in before my bus ride home and shared chicken pad see ew, steamed crab/chx/shrimp dumplings and a few glasses of Riesling. It was fast (for a nice restaurant) and tasty. A sip of Thai iced tea was a nice finish. I'm a bit spoiled by the endless amounts of amazing Thai restaurants in NYC but this is definitely great for the area.

    I'll agree that Baltimore has a lot of Thai places, but few great ones. I don't understand the hype with the places in Fed hill, so was happy to try out Stang. Decided to do takeout but didn't realize they had a website. Anyways, luckily found a parking spot across the street and was surprised by the modern urban/asian decor. The guys running the place were welcoming and friendly. I typically rate thai places based on their shrimp/chicken pad thai and chicken green curry. Took these to go in addition to the beef salad. Overall, I was extremely happy with the dishes. Flavorful, decent portion sizes. I'll definitely go back. But, I was informed that they don't take reservations, are typically too busy to have takeout available on Fri/Sat. It's great to see another solid addition to the Baltimore food scene.

  • Matthew L.

    I often come here for lunch. The pad thai is quite good, and you get a free little salad and spring roll with each meal. I forget the name of the rice noodle soup I got last time, but it was amazing. I'd say its the best thai food in baltimore , and last time I was in, the manager even let me use her iphone charger because my phone had died.

    Great food. I've gotten Pad Thai with chicken on both my visits & it was a little bit of a wait once we put our orders in... but delicious once the plates arrived. Plan to be patient and order a soup here so you're not waiting, starving, smelling everything delicious being set down around you. I like both their Tom Yum & Tom Kha Gai soups. Oh and I should mention - one of our Baltimore Wings Night crew had the pineapple fried rice, and it was served inside a hollowed-out HALF pineapple. A delicious surprise, and she loved the flavor of the dish. I'll certainly go back and recommend it to others. The decor is dark and swanky, to boot.

    This is a nice, solid Thai place. The food was very yummy and the ambiance is nice. I was tempted to give it a 4, but the service was just not good.. I know they were understaffed but it took a while to be acknowledged and when we were finally sat it took a very long time to have anyone come take our drink orders.. I had to get up and ask for menus and water. Once we did order the food came quickly and, like I said, it was great! The other reason it's only a 3 though is that it's pricey.. I suppose coming from NYC where I used to live and Thai restaurants were everywhere and cheap then I understand.. just not as much competition. I'll definitely go back but maybe not on the weekends.

  • Craig M.

    The food is great. They are understaffed and wait times can be long despite open tables. Waiting to be seated is awkward - no designated area, wait staff often doesn't acknowledge you, takes forever. Still, food is worth it. But seriously, hire more people.

  • Jayson H.

    I have to agree with other recent reviews of poor, slow service. Several menu options not available (and not warned in advance), having to repeatedly request water, spice tray, etc, and super slow pace mean I won't be back any time soon. Still easily the best Thai food I've eaten in Baltimore. However, it is a bad sign when 1/3 of the customers who walk in the door leave before they order or before they get their food. Is this place under new management? No plans to go back any time soon, regardless of how the good the food was.

    Absolutely fabulous! Thai is by far my favorite cuisine, but living in Baltimore, finding good Thai is certainly not easy, frustrating even. But Stang of Siam is as good as it gets- the food is very well prepared, fresh, & full of carefully blended flavors done just right. The atmosphere & decor are beautiful, tasteful, & relaxing. The staff couldn't be more friendly & attentive. I'm sure I'll find my self going here several times a week, it's that good!

  • Catherine S.

    Had dinner last night with a group and we were all pleasantly surprised by this place. We were a little overwhelmed by the menu at first but eventually made some choices. Wine selection was good- small but thoughtful list. The cocktails were fun and interesting as well- the ginger martini was a big hit at the table. The tom kha gai soup had a really complex flavor. I only had a bite but would happily order it next time I go. The spring rolls and goong sarong were both fried perfectly and were not remotely greasy. The chicken satay came with a homemade chunky peanut sauce that was a really nice touch. I ordered the basil fried rice with shrimp, which had a decent amount of heat and a ton of flavor. The shrimp were a nice size and were cooked perfectly. One of the favorites at the table was the gang ped yang, which is a signature dish. We all kept stealing the red curry sauce, it was so good! The pineapple fried rice was deceptively simple but had a great depth of flavors- a little smoky but sweet. (A really nice option for those that don't want an overtly spicy meal.) We finished with the mango sticky rice, which was just the right size and not too sweet. In terms of service, we were sat upstairs in the loft area, so we were a bit removed from the kitchen and there were some slight delays. That said, I thought they did a decent job tending to us (a group of 7). Some of the entrees came out a bit staggered but we had enough to share between us to keep everyone happy. Just FYI, it can be kind of hard to find parking here so give yourself some time if you have a reservation. It's not a dealbreaker by any means- I'd happily come back here and plan to do so soon!

    I was very impressed with this restaurant. the staff was nice, the menu is huge! The decor/ambiance of this place and the quality of the food is on par with what you would expect at a pricey restaurant but the prices are phenomenal. I took myself and three others out to treat and would up spending well under 100! I was quite thrilled about that. I had coconut curry and tasted a bite of every ones dish, one had pad Thai, one a sea food combo, and one a beef dish...all were awesome.

    A generous 4-star rating. The food has been consistently good and it always tastes fresh even when food is cooked in oil. I was lucky enough to enjoy their lunch special which was a great deal but no longer available. Pricing is typical for Thai food. Wait staff has is responsive though I've never been when near capacity

    I've had the drunken noodles and green curry and both were delicious, with fresh ingredients. I also love their mango sticky rice. The staff was friendly, the decor is pleasant, and the location is far more convenient for a North Baltimorian than the Federal Hill places. It's our new go-to Thai place.

    In short: The food is delicious, the drinks are tasty, the decor is pleasant. If the staff were as good, they'd get five stars. Sat down, admired the menus and dark wood furnishings, and waited the requisite ten minutes until our server came by to ask if anyone had taken our order. (Chairs are VERY straight-backed, by the way.) Ordered a trio of cocktails, plus our soups, salad, and some noodle dishes in case we didn't see anyone for another 10 minutes. Oddly, the soups arrived first (after another ten minutes), delicious but lukewarm. Then the cocktails, which were fun, well made, and reasonably priced. The curious timing of food-before-cocktails made perfect sense once we finished our soups, because that's when our server returned bearing three bowls of... soup. Not thinking fast enough, we pointed to the three empty bowls on our table, and he took the new soups back to the kitchen. Sadly, those new bowls were steaming with hot soup (very tasty at lukewarm - imagine how good it would be if hot!). Moral of the dinner: if your soup is cold, just hide the bowls on another table and wait a few minutes. Our noodle dishes (pad see ew, pad kee mao, and pad thai) were all tasty and satisfying. After our meal we received a check, quickly followed by a discussion of what desserts were- and were not- available ('custard' and 'everything else,' respectively). We ordered a custard and put a credit card on the bill. Why came back was a dish of warm custard (interesting, and nothing like the custards I'm used to), and a receipt which we signed. Then came a second bill, just for the custard. A custard which, it should be noted, came with both a side of whipped cream AND a parsley garnish. That dessert could represent the entire meal: good food worth exploring, but distracted by unpredictable service. In this case the custard is, umm... I guess the food, and the parsley garnish represents... the servers? But the servers where rarely there when you wanted them, so shouldn't the parsley represent the timing, and the servers would be... a missing spoon or something. Yeah, I never said it was a good metaphor.

    We ordered the crispy fried duck and steamed dumplings filled with crab meat, chicken, and pork. We did not eat in so cannot comment on service to that extent. As soon as we did arrive however our food was ready to go. Our attendant wasnt the most patient or endearing, but got the job done and responded to our requests for additional to go items without attitude or delay. The lighting was relatively dark, but cozy. I would certainly return for the food and suggest to friends and readers.

    this may or may not be my first yelp review since i permanently moved here to Baltimore, back in June--this in and of itself should say something. since i live about 2 blocks away, i've been tracking Stang's progress for a while now, and it pains me to say that i only got around to actually eating at Stang until yesterday. and, that i plan on going back in about an hour for their AWESOME lunch special (every day!). prior to Stang, Thai Arroyo was my go-to for Thai in Baltimore (their mussels is still my favorite anywhere). but, for this part of town, Stang is a very welcome addition to the burgeoning white-collar dining scene of northern Mt. Vernon. my girlfriend and i each got the lunch special--$10 every day, includes tom yum soup and 2 spring rolls. we started with the fried calamari appetizer, which i was a huge fan of--incredibly crispy (panko), no residual oiliness, and the texture of the squid was perfectly tender. i ordered Drunken Noodles with pork as my lunch entree, and it was incredibly satisfying. all this, for a mere $10! Stang really backs up the quality of the food with its pleasant decor and service. overall, a very satisfying dining experience, and one that i will certainly be frequenting.

    It's common knowledge that I'm in a long term love affair with Thai Arroy. I cheated yesterday ... and I don't feel bad about it! Stang of Siam came so highly recommended by so many different people that I had to rush over for a late lunch and try it out for myself. First of all, the place itself it exactly perfect. The decor was well done; from the chunky wooden block tables to the minimalistic buddahs and uniquley carved menu holders. We also found this place to be very child friendly. My six year old ordered a pineapple juice that they decorated with fancy little swirled orange slices. They also had styrofoam cups with lids and staws, a big plus when you're dining with a child. My husband and I both ordered the green curry with chicken, he requested tofo added to his which they accomodated for a $2 charge. My daughter ordered the chicken satay. I'm going to compare our food experience to Thai Arroy because that's the best it gets for me so far. My husband thought the vegatables in the curry to be fresher than those at Thai Arroy. But he didn't find the sauce to be quite as creamy, which he preferred. I really couldn't tell a difference in the taste or spice in my dish. It really seemed exactly the same, which of course I was very happy with. However there were no little corns in the dish and I like those. I'm also not a huge fan of eggplant in my green curry and I had eight big chunks to pass across the table. Now the chicken satay was a huge difference. The chicken skewers were very small and I was surprised to see they were yellow. Which explained the fact that they tasted like mustard. I would not order that again. My daughter ate it but only because she covered them in the accompanying peanut sauce. So over all I did find Stang of Siam to be very much like my first love, Thai Arroy. If I were on this side of town I'd eat here again.

    Nice option for Thai in the Mount Vernon area. Standard spring rolls, pad thai, red curry, massaman. I would recommend this place to quench any Thai cravings. Not great, not bad. They do have cool wooden menus.

    If you like really spicy Thai food- this is your place. Their drunken noodles are the spiciest I've had in the area and their portions are really big!!!

  • Ayon J. R.

    Typically, Thai places focus only on food and not on decor or service. At least in Baltimore. Stang of Siam has a really nice interior and the food is certainly better than average. Now, they should focus on improving their service. The service isn't bad at all. It's just not as good as you'd expect at this price range.

  • Joshua G.

    That was fantastic. I got a very spicy vegetarian green curry. I've finally found Thai food to love in Baltimore. Perhaps now, after several years living in this city (and several Thai restaurants), I can finally begin to allow myself to feel truly at home here.

    I'd been here once before with a girlfriend and shared the pineapple fried rice which was yummy and the service was decent. I went here last night for valentines day after MUCH deliberation on where to go to the point of causing me actual anxiety. It was bad. The waiter took our order quickly but the people sitting next to us dint get water for 45 minutes after they asked for it. About an hour after we ordered the waiter brought out three dishes, one for my table ( where we had two people) one for another table that had two people at it and one for another table with two people sitting at it. The next round of plates didn't come out for, no exaggeration, 10 minutes. At that point neither of our food was hot. My boyfriend ordered the chicken prig king and the chicken was tough (like worse than the chicken you get from a carry out or foodcourt Chinese) and my shrimp were tough. Neither of us finished our meals despite being very hungry by the time our food arrived. This guy really didn't deserve a tip and I never say that. maybe try this place for lunch but definitely not for a romantic dinner.

    I had high hopes for Stang of Siam. I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't impressed either. The lighting is very dim, and it was very cold inside. Service wasn't the best. I only got an appetizer and soup. Spring rolls - fine. Soup - nearly inedible. I'm hoping it was just an off night, and that things will go better next time I visit.

  • R M.

    We really enjoyed Stang of Siam - good food, nicest decor of any Thai place in Baltimore, and Mt. Vernon makes it convenient from most spots in Baltimore. My favorite dishes were the Tom Kha Ghai soup (coconut soup with chicken) and Sweet Basil Chicken. The Pad Thai was good, as was the green curry with shrimp. Didn't enjoy the papaya salad (we wanted the mango salad but they were out). One comment - Stang of Siam is a few blocks off the beaten path in Mt. Vernon.

  • Lauren N.

    We had made reservations to come to Stang of Siam for a party of 6 ppl at 8:30pm. I had read many great write ups and reviews, but I must say I was left feeling disappointed. Upon arrival we were quickly brought to the upstairs dining area. It took approximately 30 minutes to even be greeted by the waitress. We ordered drinks and apps immediately, but she did not return for another 30 minutes. At that point the waitress only brought half of the drink orders and still no food! My husband had to go downstairs to the bar in order to get the other drinks..not sure what the issue was. Once we got our appetizers everything was very delicious. I would highly recommend the steamed dumplings! My friends ordered the curry puff and it was not all that exciting, just a large fried puff filled with a dense curry filling. We then placed our order for dinner which was kind of difficult because the waitress did not even understand what we were ordering. We had to point to everything on the menu. The dinners did not take as long to come out and were also very beautifully plated and delish! I will only mention the choices that were memorable.. Mango salad was incredible with shavings of green mango over lettuce with toasted peanuts, steamed rockfish, steamed tofu and egg noodles, and lastly the Baltimore crab fried rice was awesome. Giving this a 3 star review solely based on the presentation and quality of the food. Will return to try again..hopefully we will get better service next time!

    Oh, Stang of Siam. They're food is tasty, no doubt about it. The drunken noodles in particular are excellent. The restaurant itself is aesthetically pleasing and always lively. They're customer service stinks. I get that they're successful and always busy -- I'm glad for them. But for take-out in particular they are extremely slow, and don't make any attempts to make up for it. When placing a takeout order, they always tell you it'll be ready in 20 minutes. I give them an extra 20 minutes before heading over. Then I wait for another 20-35 minutes in the restaurant, while they ignore me. At this point it's happened enough that it's my own fault - I should either not order from them or give them over 1 hour for my order. Much of this slowness I think they could make up for by giving more realistic estimates, or by at least being a little apologetic and offering you water while you wait at the bar for your order, but they don't do either of these things.

  • Allison H.

    This was difficult to rate, because the food was EXCELLENT. However, the service left a lot to be desired. My friends and I were seated in the middle of the restaurant and felt rather ignored the entire time we were there. The food took a long time to come and the waiter never asked how things were or if we needed anything else. I will eat here again because of the delicious pad thai, but I will probably get take-out next time.

  • Grace W.

    The ABSOLUTE WORST SERVICE I have ever experienced in my life. We went with a big party, sat upstairs. Took forever for someone to talk to us. We ordered drinks, they took 30 MINUTES! Not exaggerating. And our friends that ordered mixed drinks didn't get theirs for another 15 minutes. Still, no water at this point either. We put in our food, 1 person got both of her dishes at the same time and the rest of the food came here & there with LOTS of time in between. While we were experiencing this horrible service, the table next to us, a couple, was so irate and complaining to the manager about their service as well, so it wasn't just us as a big party. I have to say, the food was OUTSTANDING! I feel so terrible for the kitchen, they make delicious food and the experience gets ruined by the service. I hope they get their sh*% together because I would really like to go back there. Maybe I will try it again on a week night when it's less crowded. No mater what...there is never any excuse for bad service.

  • Lylian R.

    Okay, so it was my first time there and this place was AWESOME. I didn't get anything too adventurous - just my thai fave red curry chicken (Panang Chicken) and it was perfect. Just the right amount of spice and coconut milk. I've eaten a lot of red curry and have even made it at home. This is definitely on my top 5 list so far. We also had the chicken curry puffs as an appetizer. Oh my God! We couldn't stop eating them, they were SO good! They are like little empanadas (like meat pastries/patties) with a flaky dough, filled with chicken, onions, potatoes and curry (blended), and they come with this "cucumber relish" which is diced cucumber along with some other diced vegetables (maybe bell peppers?) in this light, sweet, cucumber-y liquid sauce. Mmmm, truly a little piece of heaven! I will be going back again and again. NOTE: We ordered take-out, so I have no idea how their service is, but the restaurant itself is nice and relatively small. Dim lighting, peaceful setting, and a full bar.

    I went here for lunch today and it was great! They have a $10 lunch special that includes two spring rolls, soup, and a selection of entrees. The food was AMAZING and the wait staff was very attentive. I ordered beef in chili sauce and it was perfectly spicy. I liked the sauce so much that I actually used the rice that came with it as a vessel for sauce. Really, this place deserves 4.5 stars- I took half a star off because the chairs were pretty uncomfortable. Will be back for sure.

  • Brooke M.

    I love Thai food and I've been looking forward to trying this place out for awhile. Finally got the chance the other day, and I was pretty happy overall. We got the Larb salad, which was spicy, tart, and pungent- just like it should be. For entrees we had the Drunken Noodles and Green Curry, both with chicken. The Green Curry was excellent. Very flavorful, not too thick or too thin (I hate a watery curry!) It was quite sweet, and I can see how some might consider it too sweet, but in the context of our meal (with the very tart salad and kind of bland noodles) the sweetness was welcome. The Drunken Noodles don't hold a candle to the one's from Thai Arroy, unfortunately- but I've yet to comes across any that do. They were fine. Nice big flat noodles (slightly overcooked, maybe) with a spicy roasted/caramelized flavor. They're better than some I've had, but just lacking a certain intensity and depth of flavor that keeps me dreaming about the one's from Thai Arroy whenever I'm hungry and craving Thai. But I'll be going back here for the curry and to try some other things. The space is beautiful, as well- definitely a step up in ambiance from the other local Thai places. Dark wood, high ceilings, the Thai elements more "elegant" than "ethnic" (in a good way.) it seems like it would make a good date spot. I believe I read they're owned by a restaurant group from DC? It shows.

    The lunch special is a great deal. $10 for an egg roll, soup of the day and an entree. It's JUST enough food which is nice. You don't walk away wishing you had more or feeling over stuffed. I had the drunken noodles with beef and it was AMAZING. The beef was a little crispy on the outside but still juicy. The noodles were cooked right and the best part is, it was nice and spicy. Not so spicy that it made you cry but JUST spicy enough that it tasted great and had a really good kick to it. I can't wait to go back and order it again!

    (5)

  • K C.

    So my comments basically match what everyone else has been saying. The food was great (and I thought very reasonably priced) - had drunken noodle, red curry, and this fried duck dish. Without drinks, it only came out to ~$40 for 3 people, which again for dinner, is great. I thought this place was better than Thai Restaurant (in Charles Village). With that said, oh my god the SERVICE. The staff was actually very nice, but extremely disorganized and the food was coming out at snail pace. I think we waited 1.5-2 hours for our food - my friends and I were neither too hungry nor in a rush, so we took it in stride, but I can imagine it was an extremely frustrating evening for a lot of customers. I don't know what it's like on other days, but DEFINITELY don't go on Friday night until they figure this out...

    Had lunch here on MLK day. The dining room has a simple, modern style. The eat in lunch special was great: Tofu soup, spring roll and an entree for ten bucks. I had the Pad ginger beef, and my wife had the Drunken noodles. Both were fantastic. We both had thai iced tea which was delicious. We are really looking forward to returning for dinner very soon.

  • Sara K.

    Went there for lunch. Asked waitress to recommend something not too sweet. She recommended several items, one of which was Stang Noodles. Picked that. Food was not bad but something was still lacking. The noodles were still somewhat sweet. Had asked spice level to be medium but in my experience it was very high (I eat east and south asian food regularly so my spice tolerance is pretty decent). Portion was huge and the seafood was quite good. I really wanted dessert afterwards but they didn't have any. Overall a good to ok thai place.

    This place was so much better than I expected. We chose it for its convenience. I found a parking spot (free) right outside of the restaurant door (def a +.5 of a star for that). I ordered the drunken seafood noodles. There was way more seafood than the price dictated. Service was a tad slow, one server for the entire room, but the food quality was off the charts. So, moral of the review is, come in here with mediocre expectations, and you may be pleasantly surprised.

  • Robby B.

    Stang of Siam was a treat. Solid food. Service wasn't spot on but we still had a great time. Ambiance was nice, with some cool statues. The painted wooden menus were nice as well. There was a TV at the bar with sports on, which I feel took away from the vibe a bit, but what do I know? I wanted a nice hoppy, bitter beer because I think they go so well with spicy thai food, but they only had boring mainstream beers (Call me a beer snob. I dare you!). They had a cool selection of specialty mixed drinks for 9 or 10 dollars each, but I didn't try any. We started off with the fried calamari ($7). It had super crunchy breading that was borderline too much. The calamari itself was slightly rubbery and they didn't include any legs. The accompanying sauce was great. Tangy (orange?) taste and it also had tons of chopped peanuts in it. The whole group shared 4 dishes. The chicken panang curry ($12) was good, but not great. It was very coconutty and sweet, which I liked. It became a little cloying over time though. There wasn't much chicken or veggies actually. Maybe worse, there wasn't enough rice for all the good curry goopiness. Additional bowls of rice were apparently $2 each. Not cool. Chicken basil fried rice ($12 I think) was very good. Not mushy like from a crappy takeout place, but still moist. Basil flavor and spice on top were very apparent. We ordered pork, but chicken was served. Whatever, the rice was the star of the show. Stang Noodles ($17) were awesome. Noodles were nice and spicy, but overly not so-- which is good for those who can't handle super spice (like me). There was a lot of good seafood: scallops, shrimp, and mussels. and squid. Scallops and squid were especially good. Tasty crisp veggies as well including red pepper and green beans. Beef pad see ew was pretty good ($12). It was sweet and had strong flavors. There was a slightly fishy aftertaste. The beef was simple and not great, but the noodles were tender and tasty. A few service gaffs: I hope it was a fluke, but my appetizer plate was not fully cleaned. Also, our waiter didn't bring chili sauces like we requested until much later into the meal. We were almost finished so it was kind of a waste. Sometimes our waiter was hard to track down. Otherwise, the food came out quickly and the staff was friendly. Prices were great considering portion size and quality of the food. I'll be back. I really want to try one of their spicier curries, maybe red or green and their lunch special.

    Best Thai is this area. Have yet to have a bad meal here. The curry puffs are awesome and flavorful but not too spicy. The calamari is crispy and not rubbery. I love the spring rolls and the delicious dipping sauce. I also had the panang curry with chicken which was excellent served with white rice. Other had pad Thai, pad see ew and thought it was excellent ! They have two upper levels for larger parties and to rent out. Staff is very courteous and helpful. Parking can be tough in this area! Desserts were surpisingly great as well. All around very solid Thai food !

    This is an excellent Thai restaurant with charming decorations, a warm atmosphere and terrific curry and noodle dishes. In my opinion it's nearly as good as the best Thai places in Queens, NY and better than many of Manhattan's Thai restaurants. My only criticism is the straight backed chairs which my wife and I found uncomfortable.

    The food is solidly mediocre, however the portion sizes are enormous. I usually get Thai food at one of the other Thai places nearby. If you want excellent Thai food, go to Thai Restaurant on Greenmount Ave in Waverly. If you want better Thai that will deliver, go to Thai Landing a few blocks away on Charles St.

  • Eric L.

    The food is excellent here, not too spicy right off the menu. We had massaman tofu, beef with basil sauce and drunken noodles. All were solid and portions generous - a tad bit too much coconut milk for our tastes in the massaman. The service is quite slow, it took 45 minutes for our food to arrive, but it was quite busy. In the top 3 Thai restaurants in the city (Thai and Thai Arroy round out our list).

  • Latanya J.

    I just wanted Thai food w/o any drama, so I braced for the service especially because it was pretty crowded. (Also kind of scared by the mixed reviews, but I'm glad I took a chance to go.) What I found was an exhausted waitress who still cleared a table for me and set me up with a wonderful drink that brought back great childhood memories: Thai tea (yum). The advice to face the HDTv was great and now on to the food. I had the appetizers: Chicken satay, dumplings, and spring rollls all served hot and 4 delicious sauces: plum sauce, peanut, vinegar/sugar sauce, and of course soy sauce. After polishing the apps off and resisting licking my fingers, I moved on to the main course. I went with the recommendations to play it safe: Pad See Ew. The combination of noodles, broccoli and eggs were lip smackingly delish. It was really amazing! I will be back for a round of curry. Thanks Yelpers for the great advice.

    I got take-out here for the first time after several people recommended this place. To put it simply, I was not disappointed. I got the Drunken Noodles with Chicken and it was delicious with just the right amount of spicy.

  • Lia D.

    We came here on a Friday at 8 with no reservation. Although they were packed, they accommodated us with a very short wait. I tired the mango salad, which was excellent! My husband got papaya salad with shrimp. Now, usually they give you those tiny cute little ones. Instead, he got a skewer with regular shrimps on it, but only 2. So for $2 extra, he got 2 regular sized shrimps. Not cool. Anyways, I ordered my usual ka prow with tofu. I asked my usual annoying question if they'd hold the bell peppers and they happily did (and gave me a beautiful assortment of other veggies). Delicious basil, and lots of it! My husband got shrimp pad thai and said it was good, but not his favorite (thai elephant wok is).

  • Vicky D.

    As far as I'm concerned, no restaurant can hold a candle to Thai Arroy in Fed Hill. Although Thai Arroy is still my absolute favorite Thai restaurant in Md (although let's face it, I haven't bothered to try that many other ones), Stang of Siam is probably a close second. The restaurant decor is beautiful and the location is in a nice neighborhood not too far from the Lyric. We came here for dinner before seeing Louis CK (hilarious) at the Lyric and found them to be pretty accommodating. I'd definitely make a reservation ahead of time if you're going for a show though.

    My wife and I needed to attend a meeting not far from this place. We were pressed for time, so we ordered takeout from here. The food was amazing. We shared a chicken satay, I had the beef salad, and my wife had soup. As mentioned, the food was very good, and I would go back ONLY if the service was better. We ordered way ahead of time, again, because we were pressed for time. Upon arrival, our order was not ready. Those at the counter said that all of the cook staff were eating. What restaurant would have all of the cook staff eat their dinner at the same time? It did not seem to me that they were interested in providing good customer service. The staff of this place appeared not to give a rip and not caring enough for their customers. This place may have the most amazing Tai food in the city, but if the staff does not motivate me to want to come back, then why should I?

    My favorite Thai restaurant in Baltimore! I love coming here. Service is great, the food is delicious (order the green curry with chicken- it's delicious!), and the price isn't too bad. They're located on St. Paul Street, a little removed from other restaurants on Charles but they're worth the little trek. (And FYI- there's two hour free street parking on St. Paul and Calvert Street during the week before 8pm and it's free on the weekend). They also have great lunch specials and portions are huge- I always have leftovers for the next day.

    Visited for the second time and will be going back for more. All of the dishes we tried were great. Fresh tasting, great presentation, and good timing make it an enjoyable experience. Adequate follow up attention to refilling drinks is always a plus. Had the basic pad Thai once with chicken and this time shrimp, yummy!! Chicken cashew had a tang to the sauce which was too much for my table mate but I was happy to exchange dishes and share. I loved it. And there was still plenty to bring home! Had the wrapped shrimp for appetizers along with the MUST HAVE curry puffs. Cannot wait to go back!

    Delicious drunken noodles! Pad Thai with shrimp is also delish, but too sweet overall The decor is lovely--great date atmosphere--and the drinks are pretty alright--but the kitchen has got to be all kinds of dysfunctional... every visit has had a foul-up in some way (though maybe its the service? I think it's the kitchen, I'll explain...) 1st visit--birthday--very nice service, but not good about checking back on us... like they'd forgotten us--and after finishing our appetizer, it was a long, long time before our food came out... as if the ticket was forgotten in the kitchen or something... 2 of our party were displeased with their meals, but not overly so... 2 of the dishes were cold coming out, whereas 2 were hot 2nd visit--ordered carryout--came to pick up 10 mins after they said it would be ready... I ordered 2 things, 1 drunken noodles, and 1 something similar, basil jae? they did not have one of the 2... they said it would take 15mins tops... I had to wait in-house for an additional 50 mins for the second entree, this is no joke! I watched the clock above the bar the entire time.. I had flag down waitstaff to check with the kitchen, and they were more or less scared to go back and see what's up... that's how it seemed. No one ever alerted the manager to this funk, which I also thought was weird... I'm not an incredible cook, but I know I could have cooked that dish in less time than they did, it was so unbelievable 3rd visit--5 folks eating in on 4th of July (not busy in house, I think it was 5pm)--3 of us got pad thai, one got dumplings of some sort, and the other got pad see ew--one of the pad thai orders was never put into the kitchen, I'm certain--after the 4 plates came out, we had to wait (as our food cooled off considerably) for the 5th meal to be made... we thought it would be "right out" but the waitress didn't check in the kitchen, it seemed, and I had to wave her over to ask about the dish... then she said it would be right out, but it was another 15mins before it came get your shit together, Stang, I want to love you!

    First time trying this restaraunt and I will definitely be back! I had chicken and shrimp drunken noodle. It had the perfect amount of spice and flavor, lots of veggies (perfectly cooked not soggy) and a pretty good portion size. I even have some to spare for a snack tomorrow. It was a 40 minute wait for pick up but I ordered before I left work so it was ready by the time I arrived. I will recommend to friends!

    Food: 3.5; Ambiance & Service: 4 stars. My hunch on Stang of Siam is that their Signature dishes are *AWESOME* - unfortunately, I went for an old staple, the Pad See Eew (my favorite) and while it was definitely delicious, was nowhere close to the top of the Pad See Eew Hall of Fame. On the up side, the broccoli was clearly fresh (not frozen) and it was still tasty. Unfortunately, the sauce wasn't caramelized right and the tofu was over-fried. BUT! I loved the ambiance - Stang is nestled in a cute corner of Mount Vernon, just a block away from all the "hustle and bustle" and they really go the extra mile to make it a sweet retreat. Lovely servers and the food came out fast. Perfect Date Night - I'll be back to try one of their Signature Dishes for sure!

    I see all of these 4 and 5 star ratings and I wonder if, somewhere, somehow unbeknownst to me I have offended the cosmos, because this is without a doubt the worst Thai food i've ever had. . . OR they don't slip the psychotropic drugs into the carry out that they give to their sit down customers, because I want whatever it is they're having. Maybe we hit it on a bad night - it's very possible - while the Pad See Ew had a pleasant flavor, I have become accustomed to noodles that are more firm, not mushy, and have succumbed slightly to the high temperature, creating a very pleasant meld with the sweet soy. Something that is not a water mess. Despite it's pleasant flavor, I have to say that this is the first time that the very appearance of a dish has ever inspired revulsion. The Cashew Chicken was unlike any thai food i've ever had . . . ever. It was devoid of ANY flavor that would make it distinctively a thai dish, unless, of course, you are one of those who are accustomed to the sugary syrupy dishes that some people believe typify asian cuisine. And don't get me started on the spring rolls. Holy moly. we shared one, the other two made their way, along with the rest of our meal, into the trash. Given the other reviews, I am open to trying it again on another night, at which time I will revise rating, provided that Yelp adds the ability to select a negative number.

    Food was very mildly flavored...white washed...certainly not good Thai food...just like standard Thai takeout. But its also very expensive for what you get. So, food is 3 stars, minus one for lack of value.

    Came here with my brother the other day when visiting Baltimore. We came at the end of lunch, and we ordered panang curry and the pad thai (pretty standard Thai cuisine). The location is off of Calvert Street, and it's not hard to find at all since the storefront is quite large. Just an FYI: The lunch specials were all $10, and they come with a soup or salad and spring rolls. Well, the panang curry was especially good, but the pad thai was just average. I have had better pad thai in other restaurants, but it's not like this stuff was terrible. It was just okay. The panang curry, on the other hand, was excellent! Perfect flavor. The interior decor is very "Thai," but the restaurant is much smaller on the inside than what you would think judging from the exterior. The menu holders and the check holders were both really cool wooden boxes with these Thai deities (I'm assuming?) on the covers, which is a nice touch too. All in all, I highly recommend getting the panang curry! I haven't sampled any of the other dishes here besides the panang curry and the pad thai, so this review is based simply on those two dishes. Not bad. Give it a shot :)

    I'd give it 3.5 stars. Yelp unfortunately doesn't do half stars but a full 4 would be overstating things a bit. We were seated quickly enough, since we had a reservation. We also went early (5:30) so it was pretty quiet. I had the drunken noodles, and they were really good, pretty spicy. However, for the price (I think I paid ~$15 including tax & tip), I guess I was expecting a little better. That said, I am used to a lot of small Asian restaurants in the NJ/NY area that offer much better food for lower prices so my view may be biased. A disappointment was the tea they served. My friend (who I went with) and I are both big tea drinkers, and we were a little disappointed to see that the tea they served was the same cheap tea bagged tea he bought once as an experiment and that we both wrote off as "not that good." Given that a small cup cost $3 (borderline Starbucks), we fully expected a pretty decent cup of tea. If I'm in the area or craving Thai, I would definitely go again, but I wouldn't specifically plan to go there.

    This place is FANTASTIC. My boyfriend and I have eaten here twice so far (once dine-in and once take-out), and both times we were blown away by their amazing food. For appetizers, we got the Garden Herb Rolls (which I'm always a fan of) and the Curry Puffs (which were extremely good!!). For the main dish, I got the Pad Thai while my boyfriend got the Drunken Noodle, and our meals were so mouthwateringly delicious that we barely shared with eachother! We did, however, talk about the food for days afterwards, and when we finally went back a second time, we had to get the exact same thing. The dine-in experience was perfect. The low-lighting creates an intimate ambiance, the decor is beautiful and tasteful, and the waiter was very friendly and attentive. Also, I had a couple of Thai iced teas, which I thought were really good. This restaurant is a wonderful find, and we will be back again and again.

    I'm not quite sure whether to give this place a 3 or a 4. The Pad See Ew and Pad Thai were delicious. The Thai Iced Tea was out of this world. The menus were executed awesomely (folded wooden boxes with Thai-inspired artwork on the front) and the service was friendly and to the point. Maybe it was the over-all feeling of the place? It was fairly lacking. The wooden carvings mounted on the wall were beautiful, but the dull brown walls made everything feel drab and lifeless. I somewhat felt as if I should've been wearing a monk's robe and munching on some hardened bread and cheese. Not to mention that it was chilly inside. My suggestion is if you like Thai food, give it a try. My other suggestion is if you're affected by looks and feels, this place is worth a try but there are cozier places in the area with just as wonderful Thai cuisine. One of my favourites would be Thai Restaurant in Waverly- a hidden treasure. All in all, I gave it a 4 because, ultimately, the food is what I'm reviewing.

    I'm happy to announce that i've found my favorite Thai place in Baltimore. I had never heard of this place, and found out that they opened about 2 months ago. Stopped in for a quick lunch and it was quite convenient that the place was only a couple blocks from Penn Station. I decided to go with the Lunch special, and decided to go with the Pad Thai(since this is the best way to judge a new Thai place). While i've had better Pad Thai in other cities, for Baltimore, it's probably the best i've had. It was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and took some time to prepare. I'm glad I came, and will definitely be back soon to try the other dishes. If you like spicy, try the Drunken Noodles, as everyone else there was raving about it. OH, and they serve Fat Tire Ale. It's a great beer from Colorado. Haven't seen it featured in any restaurants outside of SF so this was a nice compliment to my meal.

    While there are quite a few Thai places in Baltimore, I think Stang of Siam might be the best. It's located on an average looking corner of Calvert Street but once you go inside, you'll see the decor is really nice. It has a slightly upscale look... but it wasn't stuffy or pretentious either. I had the pad thai here. It was very flavorful. It had the right amount of sweetness and saltiness, wasn't overly greasy, and had a good amount of meat thrown in too. The service here was pretty good too. I missed the lunch special time by a few minutes but they gave me the lunch prices anyways... without me even asking! They just told me, "Normally, the lunch special ends around 3:00 so keep that in mind for next time!" And yes, there will be a next time. When I have Thai cravings, you'll find me here! It may not be the best Thai ever, but it certainly is the best Thai in Baltimore and therefore gets a 5 stars from me :D

    So I was in a Thai mood and recalling the amazing drunken noodles, I decided to give this place another chance on a weekday. The place was much less crowded for dinner, and I had the same server who, to my great surprise, smiled the entire time--big change. I kept it simple and just ordered Thai tea and an entree. My friend and I were served quickly and the food was just as good as I remembered. The tea was nice and creamy and the drunken noodles as saucy as I prefer (lots of veggies in this dish too which is a plus). Overall, I must say that I stand corrected. Stang of Siam is a great place to eat, but be careful of times when the restaurant is crowded.

  • Ishan D.

    This place has pretty decent food but is pretty over priced for what it is. It benefits from having weak competition in the area, but for $14.95 you'd expect there to be more than 4 pieces of shrimp in an order of drunken noodles (they charge $2.00 extra over the usual $12.95 for shrimp). On taste and quality I'd give this place a solid 3 stars. But they consistently overcharge for their food and fail to provide adequate value for the price.

  • Teenie M.

    TERRIBLE service and bad food. I ordered take out from here and the lady got our order wrong. She said the food would be ready in 35 minutes and we had to wait 50 because they forgot the salad. When we asked for peanuts on the side they charged us an extra $4. Now on the food. The papaya salad had way too much fish sauce and for the price it was very small and not fresh. Then I moved onto the tom yum soup which had a very foul smell, no flavor, and just two pieces of shrimp. Seeing as just the soup and salad were more than 14 combined it was def not worth it. I also ordered the drunken noodles and thought I expected them to be oily they were literally swimming In oil to the point where it made them inedible. They had good flavor but seeing the puddle of oil was a turn off. Overall would not recommend this place to anyone. I eat Thai food a lot and this is definitely sub par.

    So I've been plotting with friends on how to beat their system. The food is really good here. Like best Thai food in Baltimore good, but their service SUCKS!!! Like get up and walk out kind of sucks. It's funny that you have to have a snack before you go because your meal will take 90 minutes to hit the table. I love a nice meal and good conversation, but I don't always have 3 hours for a meal. You know it's bad when on a nice day you consider not eating out side because they might forget you're there. My new plan is to call in a carryout order, and when I show up to pick it up tell them I just want it plated and will eat there. Wish me luck.

    Best Thai is this area. Have yet to have a bad meal here. The curry puffs are awesome and flavorful but not too spicy. The calamari is crispy and not rubbery. I love the spring rolls and the delicious dipping sauce. I also had the panang curry with chicken which was excellent served with white rice. Other had pad Thai, pad see ew and thought it was excellent ! They have two upper levels for larger parties and to rent out. Staff is very courteous and helpful. Parking can be tough in this area! Desserts were surpisingly great as well. All around very solid Thai food !

    The food is solidly mediocre, however the portion sizes are enormous. I usually get Thai food at one of the other Thai places nearby. If you want excellent Thai food, go to Thai Restaurant on Greenmount Ave in Waverly. If you want better Thai that will deliver, go to Thai Landing a few blocks away on Charles St.

  • Eric L.

    The food is excellent here, not too spicy right off the menu. We had massaman tofu, beef with basil sauce and drunken noodles. All were solid and portions generous - a tad bit too much coconut milk for our tastes in the massaman. The service is quite slow, it took 45 minutes for our food to arrive, but it was quite busy. In the top 3 Thai restaurants in the city (Thai and Thai Arroy round out our list).

  • Latanya J.

    I just wanted Thai food w/o any drama, so I braced for the service especially because it was pretty crowded. (Also kind of scared by the mixed reviews, but I'm glad I took a chance to go.) What I found was an exhausted waitress who still cleared a table for me and set me up with a wonderful drink that brought back great childhood memories: Thai tea (yum). The advice to face the HDTv was great and now on to the food. I had the appetizers: Chicken satay, dumplings, and spring rollls all served hot and 4 delicious sauces: plum sauce, peanut, vinegar/sugar sauce, and of course soy sauce. After polishing the apps off and resisting licking my fingers, I moved on to the main course. I went with the recommendations to play it safe: Pad See Ew. The combination of noodles, broccoli and eggs were lip smackingly delish. It was really amazing! I will be back for a round of curry. Thanks Yelpers for the great advice.

    I got take-out here for the first time after several people recommended this place. To put it simply, I was not disappointed. I got the Drunken Noodles with Chicken and it was delicious with just the right amount of spicy. I hope to dine in next time to get the full experience and to try other things on the menu...who knows, maybe my 4 starts will turn to 5!

    We came here on a Friday at 8 with no reservation. Although they were packed, they accommodated us with a very short wait. I tired the mango salad, which was excellent! My husband got papaya salad with shrimp. Now, usually they give you those tiny cute little ones. Instead, he got a skewer with regular shrimps on it, but only 2. So for $2 extra, he got 2 regular sized shrimps. Not cool. Anyways, I ordered my usual ka prow with tofu. I asked my usual annoying question if they'd hold the bell peppers and they happily did (and gave me a beautiful assortment of other veggies). Delicious basil, and lots of it! My husband got shrimp pad thai and said it was good, but not his favorite (thai elephant wok is).

    As far as I'm concerned, no restaurant can hold a candle to Thai Arroy in Fed Hill. Although Thai Arroy is still my absolute favorite Thai restaurant in Md (although let's face it, I haven't bothered to try that many other ones), Stang of Siam is probably a close second. The restaurant decor is beautiful and the location is in a nice neighborhood not too far from the Lyric. We came here for dinner before seeing Louis CK (hilarious) at the Lyric and found them to be pretty accommodating. I'd definitely make a reservation ahead of time if you're going for a show though.

    My wife and I needed to attend a meeting not far from this place. We were pressed for time, so we ordered takeout from here. The food was amazing. We shared a chicken satay, I had the beef salad, and my wife had soup. As mentioned, the food was very good, and I would go back ONLY if the service was better. We ordered way ahead of time, again, because we were pressed for time. Upon arrival, our order was not ready. Those at the counter said that all of the cook staff were eating. What restaurant would have all of the cook staff eat their dinner at the same time? It did not seem to me that they were interested in providing good customer service. The staff of this place appeared not to give a rip and not caring enough for their customers. This place may have the most amazing Tai food in the city, but if the staff does not motivate me to want to come back, then why should I?

    I'm not quite sure whether to give this place a 3 or a 4. The Pad See Ew and Pad Thai were delicious. The Thai Iced Tea was out of this world. The menus were executed awesomely (folded wooden boxes with Thai-inspired artwork on the front) and the service was friendly and to the point. Maybe it was the over-all feeling of the place? It was fairly lacking. The wooden carvings mounted on the wall were beautiful, but the dull brown walls made everything feel drab and lifeless. I somewhat felt as if I should've been wearing a monk's robe and munching on some hardened bread and cheese. Not to mention that it was chilly inside. My suggestion is if you like Thai food, give it a try. My other suggestion is if you're affected by looks and feels, this place is worth a try but there are cozier places in the area with just as wonderful Thai cuisine. One of my favourites would be Thai Restaurant in Waverly- a hidden treasure. All in all, I gave it a 4 because, ultimately, the food is what I'm reviewing.

    I'm happy to announce that i've found my favorite Thai place in Baltimore. I had never heard of this place, and found out that they opened about 2 months ago. Stopped in for a quick lunch and it was quite convenient that the place was only a couple blocks from Penn Station. I decided to go with the Lunch special, and decided to go with the Pad Thai(since this is the best way to judge a new Thai place). While i've had better Pad Thai in other cities, for Baltimore, it's probably the best i've had. It was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and took some time to prepare. I'm glad I came, and will definitely be back soon to try the other dishes. If you like spicy, try the Drunken Noodles, as everyone else there was raving about it. OH, and they serve Fat Tire Ale. It's a great beer from Colorado. Haven't seen it featured in any restaurants outside of SF so this was a nice compliment to my meal.

    While there are quite a few Thai places in Baltimore, I think Stang of Siam might be the best. It's located on an average looking corner of Calvert Street but once you go inside, you'll see the decor is really nice. It has a slightly upscale look... but it wasn't stuffy or pretentious either. I had the pad thai here. It was very flavorful. It had the right amount of sweetness and saltiness, wasn't overly greasy, and had a good amount of meat thrown in too. The service here was pretty good too. I missed the lunch special time by a few minutes but they gave me the lunch prices anyways... without me even asking! They just told me, "Normally, the lunch special ends around 3:00 so keep that in mind for next time!" And yes, there will be a next time. When I have Thai cravings, you'll find me here! It may not be the best Thai ever, but it certainly is the best Thai in Baltimore and therefore gets a 5 stars from me :D

    So I was in a Thai mood and recalling the amazing drunken noodles, I decided to give this place another chance on a weekday. The place was much less crowded for dinner, and I had the same server who, to my great surprise, smiled the entire time--big change. I kept it simple and just ordered Thai tea and an entree. My friend and I were served quickly and the food was just as good as I remembered. The tea was nice and creamy and the drunken noodles as saucy as I prefer (lots of veggies in this dish too which is a plus). Overall, I must say that I stand corrected. Stang of Siam is a great place to eat, but be careful of times when the restaurant is crowded.

    This place has pretty decent food but is pretty over priced for what it is. It benefits from having weak competition in the area, but for $14.95 you'd expect there to be more than 4 pieces of shrimp in an order of drunken noodles (they charge $2.00 extra over the usual $12.95 for shrimp). On taste and quality I'd give this place a solid 3 stars. But they consistently overcharge for their food and fail to provide adequate value for the price.

    TERRIBLE service and bad food. I ordered take out from here and the lady got our order wrong. She said the food would be ready in 35 minutes and we had to wait 50 because they forgot the salad. When we asked for peanuts on the side they charged us an extra $4. Now on the food. The papaya salad had way too much fish sauce and for the price it was very small and not fresh. Then I moved onto the tom yum soup which had a very foul smell, no flavor, and just two pieces of shrimp. Seeing as just the soup and salad were more than 14 combined it was def not worth it. I also ordered the drunken noodles and thought I expected them to be oily they were literally swimming In oil to the point where it made them inedible. They had good flavor but seeing the puddle of oil was a turn off. Overall would not recommend this place to anyone. I eat Thai food a lot and this is definitely sub par.

    Stang of Siam gave me a reason to never order Chinese again. The food is fresh, the service is great, and to top it off they are on the corner of my street (very dangerous to have something so good so close). I've now been there four times and I'm sorry I haven't written a review sooner. Each time I've gotten something different and have never been disappointed - how can food consistently be so good? Tonight I walked over from Charm City Yoga after class and picked up carry out (first time doing that). Sometimes there's a risk associated with ordering out versus eating in... Not at Stang of Siam. Trying to be at least slightly health conscious, I decided not to order my favorite dish so far, Duck Gra Prao (fried crispy duck in a chili sauce with sweet basil); Instead I ordered the chicken version of Pad Gra Prao. The basil sauce was not very thick or heavy, and instead had a liquid consistency (but not soupy - it had just enough sauce). The dish was spicy, but not overbearing enough to mask the flavor. There were just enough green peppers and onions to compliment the dish, but neither the chicken nor the vegetables were lacking. It was served with a side of white rice, which I mixed in with the dish as I ate it. The picture I took doesn't do it justice, honestly. But the flavor is there, I promise. Again, trying to be health conscious I didn't order the spring rolls that I normally do. However, that order comes with three rolls with a light and zesty duck-sauce like sauce. They are enough to split between two to three people. Though they are packed with flavor, they don't leave your fingers with a greasy residue like your typical egg/spring roll. And to top off the delicious food, the atmosphere is calm, the service is good, and the food comes out quickly and prepared to order. I got really lucky living next to such a tasty place. I will never order Chinese take out again!

    I came here with a group of folks and everything we got was pretty good. We started off with the platter appetizer dish. It came with chicken satay (i've def had better at other restaurants), fried fish cakes and fried calamari, both of which were just OK- I did like how they provided 4 dipping sauces- fish sauce, peanut sauce, this honey dipping sauce and a vinegary sauce which were all good. The green papaya salad was NOT GOOD!!! There was absolutely no flavor, and it tasted like a bunch of greens were doused in fish sauce and nothing else- we were going to complain and ask they take it back to the kitchen but were too hungry to do so. Our entrees though were all really good- the drunken noodles, the other sweeter noodle dish, the panang curry with tofu, and the basil chicken fried rice were all good. We also got their mango with sticky rice for dessert, I prefer white rice versus black rice, but it was unique at least.

  • Samantha G.

    Ok, the food is still excellent, but I have to update my review to say that they no longer deliver to Hampden. I called them the other night, super hungry, psyched to order my usual dishes, even thinking I'd splurge on some dessert, only to hear "We don't deliver to you anymore. Too far." WHAT?!?! There is literally no decent place nearby to get Thai food, and I'm an 8 minute drive from their restaurant, IF that- especially at night and if you take Falls rd. I'm crushed, Stang of Siam :( You shouldn't have gotten me hooked, showing up at my doorstep with a big smile (and I tipped well) if you were going to quit on me. Now I see that Friend Kitchen just introduced a new Thai menu and I may have to try it out...

    Stang of Siam is one of our family favorites in Baltimore restaurants!! Since my first review of this restaurant, I have been back here with my family at least four other times. Both the food and the drinks are incredible! The portion sizes are huge, we usually order one or two entrees and share them family style between the three of us. On one visit, we really wanted sticky rice for dessert, but mangoes were out of season, the chef was kind enough to provide us the sticky rice, but insisted in adding a scoop of coconut ice cream on top - OMG - it was AMAZING!! Really, we are going to see if they will give us that option again! I know we will be heading back to Stang of Siam soon! See you there!!

    A solid 3.5-star experience - although half stars aren't allowed here. We went on a Saturday night without a reservation, were told that it would be 20-30 minutes to get a table, but were sat within 10, before we even got our drinks from the bar. The service was great. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was trendy and enjoyable. The mai tais and teas were fantastic. And they have a really cute upstairs area for large groups. Now the reasons for 3 instead of 5 stars: 1) I read another review of the drunken noodles, which I ordered, that stated they were super spicy. I would have to disagree. I even asked for extra spicy (given that I actually enjoy a case of heartburn after dinner). My friends, who were also in attendance, said that they have been many times before and the level of spicy on any given night depends purely on who is in the kitchen. 2) Another review stated that the mango sticky rice dessert was an absolute must-do. Unfortunately they were so busy that our food took a bit of time to arrive and we didn't have time for dessert before our show (total time from order to arrival of food was close to 40 minutes). 3) Their chairs were extremely uncomfortable. This may seem like a weird notation but the fact that I noticed how incredibly sore my ass was by the time I left, even though the mood was good so it was registered as a lighthearted comment, just says that it was obvious they needed padding or something. Still, I will definitely be back...and I will try to leave enough time for the mango dessert next time!

  • Gene L.

    The best thai food I've had in Baltimore. Thai restaurants nowadays are a dime a dozen, but this place stands out. The only reason I give it 4 stars is the service is unreasonably slow. It kills me a little to rate it lower because of how good the food is across the board, but I can't imagine what takes so long to bring the food out. I judge thai restaurants now on their drunken noodles, and this place has consistently had one of the best. The pad thai, pad see ew, and other thai staples are just as good. If you're craving thai food, definitely order carryout from this place. The food is ready in 15 minutes.

    Yay I'm the 100th review!!! So I work very close to stang of siam and I probably eat here once a week on average. First off, this is not your standard Thai cuisine. This is special little spot and I'd rate it as the best Thai restaurant in Baltimore, hands down. In terms of layout, the place looks clean and sleek. It's located off the beaten path and it feels like a restaurant that deserves your attention. Not only did the owner spend years gutting the place and redoing every inch but he did a swell job. I just wish the bar in the back was a bit bigger so that more than 3 people can sit on it at a time. The food is eclectic, unique and very Thai. The stang noodles and everything off the special menu is absolutely delicious. The soups are superb, spring rolls are crispy and delicate and the shrimp pot sticker thingies are totally rad. I've never had a bad meal here. Stang has one major flaw.. it's service. The people here can be a bit aloof. Sometimes they forgot stuff, like my credit card. But hey, their nice people so I can't be too harsh.

    Finding this restaurant was quite easy! This was a great welcome back to land food after eating cruise cuisine for a week. The location is beyond Chase St situated on a bother facing the inner harbor side. Parking by there is side street parking so be prepared for parallel parking. Walking inside this quaint eatery is open wide and warm. The rich chocolate browns calm your hunger as you are greeted by staff who escort you to seated tables. Sit by the window and look out on the streets, sit by the bar with a large flat screen TV, or upstairs in an upper den eating area. There is large art wall decor and soothing music. The tables adorned with flowers. The menu unlike I've ever seen are wooden covered menus with various art. Open it to see a variety of Thai food. The service was quick, friendly, and the food was played well and fresh! The meal was delicious and tasty. When in town, I will have to return!

  • Kerry P.

    Excellent restaurant. They have vegetarian options for lunch - most of which can be made vegan. The people working here are delightful. They cheerfully greet you and bid you farewell when you leave. The food was incredible. Lunch includes a little salad and a little something like a wonton I forgot to ask the name of. The accompanying peanut sauce was terrific and spicy. We got the eggplant and tofu, and the drunken noodle with tofu. Fabulous! The waitress was very careful in thinking about what was in the dish to make sure we could eat it. We will happily choose this restaurant again!

  • Julie S.

    Like the food but Delivery is always a terrible experience. Has taken a full 90-120 minutes each time we've ordered (we live only 1 mile from the restaurant) and we always have to call at the 90 minute mark and complain. I should've learned my lesson the last few times but we're just desperate for good delivery food! Definitely not worth the wait though...always feel ravenous by the time it arrives and sometimes it can arrive cold since they only have one driver and as the lady on the phone said "he had a thousand orders to deliver." Way understaffed on delivery drivers. Only order if you have 90 minutes before you'll be hungry and don't mind reheating....also the lady on the phone is rude and could care less people are waiting so long. While I was on hold she answered another line and I could hear the whole conversation - someone else complaining they had been waiting over 90 minutes. This is commonplace there but they obviously do nothing to change it. A shame.

    The Pad Thai is pretty authentic. One of the most authentic Pad Thai's I have had on the east coast. Their red curry is also very good. Unfortunately, the Pad See Ew was overdone and the noodles were too soggy and the ratio of salt/sweet was off. Otherwise, delicious. I always stop by if I am passing through Baltimore.

  • Kris L.

    Downgraded to 3.5 stars after coming here a few more times...service and food were just not consistent to my first visit! The ambience: clean and classy...yet at the same time it was friendly, welcoming, and fun. They use a lot of colors in their decor and plating which definitely adds to the warm welcome. The food: --the Apps were amazing : I loved the Curry Puffs (perfectly light, puffy, and sweet), Chicken Satay (i never had an opinion about chicken satay because it's chicken satay but here it's HEAVEN), Goong Sarong (shrimp in deep fried rice paper? u cannot go wrong) *notes on my return visit a few months later they were out of most of their appetizers! --the Entrees:everyone loved their dish and we had 8 different things! Favs were the pad thai (simple but delicious) and the green curry (amazing balance of flavors! spot on people) --the Desserts: the mango sticky rice was a huge disappointment (rice was way underdone and hard), but the custard was out of this WORLD. i could see myself going back just for that dessert The service: spotty. Three of our orders were brought out incorrectly and they accused us of ordering things wrong instead of just fixing them....disappointing!

    Stang of Siam... I was wavering between three stars or four stars, but I opted to be generous and go with the four stars. The food here is fantastic. There's no other way to describe it. It's probably got the best Thai cuisine in Baltimore. The spring rolls here are classic, but I've learned that the Goon Sarong is a better, more adventurous pick. The mango salad is legit, with just the right amount of spice. The Pad Se-Ew is the best I've ever had -- it's flavorful, soft, and perfectly oiled. And the Basil Fried Rice was surprisingly good as well. However, I'd skip the Thai drinks. Both the Thai iced tea and the Thai coffee tasted like pure sugar water, which is very different than what I'm used to. Overall, there's no denying that the food here is amazing. I was contemplating three stars only because service is quite lacking. For the whole first floor (which was constantly busy), there was only one waitress and one helper who'd deliver the ready-made food. I kind of feel sorry that she was the only server, but it is what it is. This place seems to be busy up until closing hours.

    Stang of Siam has great food. Best place for Thai food in Baltimore at the moment. It is perfect for birthdays, causal business dinners, and any other situation where you want to sit and chat for a while. That is because the food takes a long time to come. Regardless of whether you are in a packed restaurant, or one of two tables between standard meal times, the food takes a long time to come. Initially this was frustrating, but the food is worth it. The Duck Salad is one of my favorites. Its a nice portion for an appetizer. It is tangy, and tasty. The noodle dishes are all good, cannot go wrong with either the pad thai, pad see ew, or the drunken noodles Deserving special mention is also the pineapple fried rice. Not only is it great, but it come in a cored half pineapple. Again, best place for Thai food in Baltimore.

    Great location and food was great! This may turn out to be one of my local favs until I can find something better - which I doubt will be anytime soon. The Thai fried rice was good and so was everything else we had. I'll definitely be back soon!!

    I had high hopes for Stang of Siam. I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't impressed either. The lighting is very dim, and it was very cold inside. Service wasn't the best. I only got an appetizer and soup. Spring rolls - fine. Soup - nearly inedible. I'm hoping it was just an off night, and that things will go better next time I visit.

    We had made reservations to come to Stang of Siam for a party of 6 ppl at 8:30pm. I had read many great write ups and reviews, but I must say I was left feeling disappointed. Upon arrival we were quickly brought to the upstairs dining area. It took approximately 30 minutes to even be greeted by the waitress. We ordered drinks and apps immediately, but she did not return for another 30 minutes. At that point the waitress only brought half of the drink orders and still no food! My husband had to go downstairs to the bar in order to get the other drinks..not sure what the issue was. Once we got our appetizers everything was very delicious. I would highly recommend the steamed dumplings! My friends ordered the curry puff and it was not all that exciting, just a large fried puff filled with a dense curry filling. We then placed our order for dinner which was kind of difficult because the waitress did not even understand what we were ordering. We had to point to everything on the menu. The dinners did not take as long to come out and were also very beautifully plated and delish! I will only mention the choices that were memorable.. Mango salad was incredible with shavings of green mango over lettuce with toasted peanuts, steamed rockfish, steamed tofu and egg noodles, and lastly the Baltimore crab fried rice was awesome. Giving this a 3 star review solely based on the presentation and quality of the food. Will return to try again..hopefully we will get better service next time!

    Oh, Stang of Siam. They're food is tasty, no doubt about it. The drunken noodles in particular are excellent. The restaurant itself is aesthetically pleasing and always lively. They're customer service stinks. I get that they're successful and always busy -- I'm glad for them. But for take-out in particular they are extremely slow, and don't make any attempts to make up for it. When placing a takeout order, they always tell you it'll be ready in 20 minutes. I give them an extra 20 minutes before heading over. Then I wait for another 20-35 minutes in the restaurant, while they ignore me. At this point it's happened enough that it's my own fault - I should either not order from them or give them over 1 hour for my order. Much of this slowness I think they could make up for by giving more realistic estimates, or by at least being a little apologetic and offering you water while you wait at the bar for your order, but they don't do either of these things.

    This was difficult to rate, because the food was EXCELLENT. However, the service left a lot to be desired. My friends and I were seated in the middle of the restaurant and felt rather ignored the entire time we were there. The food took a long time to come and the waiter never asked how things were or if we needed anything else. I will eat here again because of the delicious pad thai, but I will probably get take-out next time.

    We really enjoyed Stang of Siam - good food, nicest decor of any Thai place in Baltimore, and Mt. Vernon makes it convenient from most spots in Baltimore. My favorite dishes were the Tom Kha Ghai soup (coconut soup with chicken) and Sweet Basil Chicken. The Pad Thai was good, as was the green curry with shrimp. Didn't enjoy the papaya salad (we wanted the mango salad but they were out). One comment - Stang of Siam is a few blocks off the beaten path in Mt. Vernon.

  • Grace W.

    The ABSOLUTE WORST SERVICE I have ever experienced in my life. We went with a big party, sat upstairs. Took forever for someone to talk to us. We ordered drinks, they took 30 MINUTES! Not exaggerating. And our friends that ordered mixed drinks didn't get theirs for another 15 minutes. Still, no water at this point either. We put in our food, 1 person got both of her dishes at the same time and the rest of the food came here & there with LOTS of time in between. While we were experiencing this horrible service, the table next to us, a couple, was so irate and complaining to the manager about their service as well, so it wasn't just us as a big party. I have to say, the food was OUTSTANDING! I feel so terrible for the kitchen, they make delicious food and the experience gets ruined by the service. I hope they get their sh*% together because I would really like to go back there. Maybe I will try it again on a week night when it's less crowded. No mater what...there is never any excuse for bad service.

  • Lylian R.

    Okay, so it was my first time there and this place was AWESOME. I didn't get anything too adventurous - just my thai fave red curry chicken (Panang Chicken) and it was perfect. Just the right amount of spice and coconut milk. I've eaten a lot of red curry and have even made it at home. This is definitely on my top 5 list so far. We also had the chicken curry puffs as an appetizer. Oh my God! We couldn't stop eating them, they were SO good! They are like little empanadas (like meat pastries/patties) with a flaky dough, filled with chicken, onions, potatoes and curry (blended), and they come with this "cucumber relish" which is diced cucumber along with some other diced vegetables (maybe bell peppers?) in this light, sweet, cucumber-y liquid sauce. Mmmm, truly a little piece of heaven! I will be going back again and again. NOTE: We ordered take-out, so I have no idea how their service is, but the restaurant itself is nice and relatively small. Dim lighting, peaceful setting, and a full bar.

    I went here for lunch today and it was great! They have a $10 lunch special that includes two spring rolls, soup, and a selection of entrees. The food was AMAZING and the wait staff was very attentive. I ordered beef in chili sauce and it was perfectly spicy. I liked the sauce so much that I actually used the rice that came with it as a vessel for sauce. Really, this place deserves 4.5 stars- I took half a star off because the chairs were pretty uncomfortable. Will be back for sure.

  • Brooke M.

    I love Thai food and I've been looking forward to trying this place out for awhile. Finally got the chance the other day, and I was pretty happy overall. We got the Larb salad, which was spicy, tart, and pungent- just like it should be. For entrees we had the Drunken Noodles and Green Curry, both with chicken. The Green Curry was excellent. Very flavorful, not too thick or too thin (I hate a watery curry!) It was quite sweet, and I can see how some might consider it too sweet, but in the context of our meal (with the very tart salad and kind of bland noodles) the sweetness was welcome. The Drunken Noodles don't hold a candle to the one's from Thai Arroy, unfortunately- but I've yet to comes across any that do. They were fine. Nice big flat noodles (slightly overcooked, maybe) with a spicy roasted/caramelized flavor. They're better than some I've had, but just lacking a certain intensity and depth of flavor that keeps me dreaming about the one's from Thai Arroy whenever I'm hungry and craving Thai. But I'll be going back here for the curry and to try some other things. The space is beautiful, as well- definitely a step up in ambiance from the other local Thai places. Dark wood, high ceilings, the Thai elements more "elegant" than "ethnic" (in a good way.) it seems like it would make a good date spot. I believe I read they're owned by a restaurant group from DC? It shows.

    The lunch special is a great deal. $10 for an egg roll, soup of the day and an entree. It's JUST enough food which is nice. You don't walk away wishing you had more or feeling over stuffed. I had the drunken noodles with beef and it was AMAZING. The beef was a little crispy on the outside but still juicy. The noodles were cooked right and the best part is, it was nice and spicy. Not so spicy that it made you cry but JUST spicy enough that it tasted great and had a really good kick to it. I can't wait to go back and order it again!

  • K C.

    So my comments basically match what everyone else has been saying. The food was great (and I thought very reasonably priced) - had drunken noodle, red curry, and this fried duck dish. Without drinks, it only came out to ~$40 for 3 people, which again for dinner, is great. I thought this place was better than Thai Restaurant (in Charles Village). With that said, oh my god the SERVICE. The staff was actually very nice, but extremely disorganized and the food was coming out at snail pace. I think we waited 1.5-2 hours for our food - my friends and I were neither too hungry nor in a rush, so we took it in stride, but I can imagine it was an extremely frustrating evening for a lot of customers. I don't know what it's like on other days, but DEFINITELY don't go on Friday night until they figure this out...

    Had lunch here on MLK day. The dining room has a simple, modern style. The eat in lunch special was great: Tofu soup, spring roll and an entree for ten bucks. I had the Pad ginger beef, and my wife had the Drunken noodles. Both were fantastic. We both had thai iced tea which was delicious. We are really looking forward to returning for dinner very soon.

    Wow, what a change! :-( During the Christmas holiday this restaurant was closed for "renovations" so once the New Year (2012) started, we decided to go once again to this favorite restaurant of ours. What a difference. The staff is all new and not nearly as good as before. They were inattentive, slow and unorganized. I'm not sure what happened to this place but we sure won't be attending as we have prior to these changes. In 2011, it was a stand out, now... not so much. Shame... Hopefully they'll turn this around.

    Best Thai in Baltimore, hands down! Freshly made and unbelievably delicious. Tod Mun Goong was the best I've ever had anywhere. Garden Herb Roll was crunchy, fresh & bursting with flavor. Panang Tofu was peanutty & wonderfully spicy, and the standard Pad Thai did not disappoint with an added smokiness from grilled chicken. Yummmm!! Oh, and the service was excellent too, even though it was a busy, hot Saturday night.

    Oh, never underestimate the power of a solid Thai restaurant. I have been to Stang of Siam for both lunch and dinner and am so grateful to have this little gem only a mile from my work. Dinner selections offer an extensive menu selection in hearty portions. For lunch you can select entrees in slightly smaller portions and for $10, they are served with a cup of soup and two small spring rolls. A wide portion of both the lunch and dinner menu is vegetarian-friendly. You can't beat that! The tom yum tofu soup is by far my favorite appetizer on the menu and definitely doesn't skimp on the delicious lemongrass flavor! It's offered with other ingredients such as seafood for those of you who need to fulfill your carnivore cravings. The pad see ew (wide noodles with egg and a slightly sweet soy-based sauce) is my absolute favorite! The green curry, drunken noodles and pad thai are all delicious as well. I've also heard the basil fried rice is pretty amazing. The restaurant boasts a very nice minimalist design inside, although it can be very quiet at times. There are nice little touches such as the wooden boxes they bring your check in. The staff members are always super-friendly. I am never disappointed when I leave this place!

    Stang of Siam has saved me from Federal Hill! Until now, I used to only go to Federal Hill to get my Thai food fix but Stang of Siam not only does the trick but it is absolutely delicious. Not only are they delicious but they have a special vegetarian menu which helps cut down my menu reading time. I had the vegetable red curry and the herb garden rolls. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. The herb rolls were super refreshing. Often times when I have eggplant in my curry dishes, I find that they are smushy but these were cooked to perfection and paired with tasty fried tofu in a rich and flavorful red curry. I also liked the ambiance. It was simple, yet sophisticated, and all brown decor(my favorite color, just a bonus!) The prices are what you would expect for a Thai restaurant in Baltimore but being a student I'm stoked that they have an awesome lunch special which I plan to go back for. The server told me that 7 days a week, they have a lunch special that includes spring rolls, soup, and lunch entree w/ rice for 10$. A pretty good deal if you ask me! Welcome to the neighborhood, Stang of Siam!

    The best Thai food I have ever had. Went here on a Saturday afternoon. I was surprised because the place was empty. We were the only people there. For our appetizer we had the Goong sarong shrimps wrapped in rice paper. Very good. My favorite part of the meal was my entree of Pad gra prao with beef - spicy with great flavors of basil and chili garlic sauce. My husband had the Drunken noodles - which were good by not as good as my dish. I can't wait to go here again.

    What an amazing location for a party! I love the delicious food and calm atmosphere here so I decided to invite friends for a birthday dinner on a Friday night. The staff was as helpful as could be with planning and was very flexible as my guest list grew. Despite the large size of our party (nearly 20 people), the evening went off without a hitch with food and drinks coming quickly and an adept waitstaff handling everything with the charming calm that comes with experience. There was some confusion with the checks, but that is to be expected with such a large party. So far the best restaurant experience in Baltimore.

  • Lucy X.

    The first thing I noticed about this place is its dark, and rather cold interior. The large buddhas around the place were cool (especially their wooden buddha menus), but the overall atmosphere just felt somewhat uninviting. Or maybe it was because of the lady who served us, who barely, if ever at all, smiled. I ordered their drunken noodles (as you do when you come to Thai restaurants, ha) and although the plate and setup was really pretty, the noodles were just way WAY too oily! My (only) favorite thing about this place is definitely their mango sticky rice which was so pretty and super tasty :) If I ever have to come to this place again, I'd probably just stick to their desserts.

    I'll agree that Baltimore has a lot of Thai places, but few great ones. I don't understand the hype with the places in Fed hill, so was happy to try out Stang. Decided to do takeout but didn't realize they had a website. Anyways, luckily found a parking spot across the street and was surprised by the modern urban/asian decor. The guys running the place were welcoming and friendly. I typically rate thai places based on their shrimp/chicken pad thai and chicken green curry. Took these to go in addition to the beef salad. Overall, I was extremely happy with the dishes. Flavorful, decent portion sizes. I'll definitely go back. But, I was informed that they don't take reservations, are typically too busy to have takeout available on Fri/Sat. It's great to see another solid addition to the Baltimore food scene.

  • Matthew L.

    I often come here for lunch. The pad thai is quite good, and you get a free little salad and spring roll with each meal. I forget the name of the rice noodle soup I got last time, but it was amazing. I'd say its the best thai food in baltimore , and last time I was in, the manager even let me use her iphone charger because my phone had died.

    Let me start of by divulging that my sister and I are those jerks who like to take her 2 year old with us wherever we go (including restaurants) for the usual reasons: he likes to eat, he needs to be exposed to people, he needs to learn how to act in public, etc. So this weekend we were all feeling a little under the weather and I really wanted some Tom Yum soup, so we went to Stang of Siam for lunch. The waitress was very patient with my nephew (in his defense he was not acting horrible, which is totally in his repertoire, but he was "chatting" with us and looking around at the other patrons a bit, and playing with the table decor). The food was really good (pumpkin puff appetizer was crazy amazing!!!!! chicken fried rice was a hit with everyone at the table; ginger chicken was tasty, but not the best ginger chicken dish I have ever had) . My only issue, was that the waitress seemed to be extremely preoccupied with everything else except our table. She chased a guy down who steals every single "open" sign they buy and put out (she did not unfortunately recover the sign); she cleaned and chatted. I had to ask for my tea twice, and the other waiter ended up refilling our water when he saw us thirstily looking at him refill his tables' glasses. Other than growing very thirsty from the lack of beverage service, our visit was pleasant. I did order the mango sticky rice to go, and was disappointed when I got home and opened the container. They really skimped on the rice, which I would imagine is the cheap portion of the dessert, so I think they could have really given more. Also, they use oyster and fish sauce in a lot of their dishes; as someone with a seafood allergy I find it hit or miss with Thai restaurants, whether they use the sauces in everything, or offer it on the side. So be warned if you have a seafood allergy! However once I made them aware of this issue, they were very accommodating and helpful with suggestions. Bottom line: The Tom Yum worked and I am cured! Also, the food was tasty, the service was ok, they are accommodating to people with food allergies (just be wary), I will be back!

    Oh Stang, I am conflicted. Your food is very good (4 star food), yet your service is soooo slow (2?). We've been to Stang 3-4 times, and every time, the service is so slow. I would avoid if you are in a rush. The mango dessert is amazing. Dishes are a little overpriced for dinner. Ended up with 4 because when you're yelping, you are generally looking for food quality.

    Nice ambience, dark wood all around, pleasant servers. Stopped in before my bus ride home and shared chicken pad see ew, steamed crab/chx/shrimp dumplings and a few glasses of Riesling. It was fast (for a nice restaurant) and tasty. A sip of Thai iced tea was a nice finish. I'm a bit spoiled by the endless amounts of amazing Thai restaurants in NYC but this is definitely great for the area.

    Great food. I've gotten Pad Thai with chicken on both my visits & it was a little bit of a wait once we put our orders in... but delicious once the plates arrived. Plan to be patient and order a soup here so you're not waiting, starving, smelling everything delicious being set down around you. I like both their Tom Yum & Tom Kha Gai soups. Oh and I should mention - one of our Baltimore Wings Night crew had the pineapple fried rice, and it was served inside a hollowed-out HALF pineapple. A delicious surprise, and she loved the flavor of the dish. I'll certainly go back and recommend it to others. The decor is dark and swanky, to boot.

  • Amanda C.

    This is a nice, solid Thai place. The food was very yummy and the ambiance is nice. I was tempted to give it a 4, but the service was just not good.. I know they were understaffed but it took a while to be acknowledged and when we were finally sat it took a very long time to have anyone come take our drink orders.. I had to get up and ask for menus and water. Once we did order the food came quickly and, like I said, it was great! The other reason it's only a 3 though is that it's pricey.. I suppose coming from NYC where I used to live and Thai restaurants were everywhere and cheap then I understand.. just not as much competition. I'll definitely go back but maybe not on the weekends.

    (3)

  • Craig M.

    The food is great. They are understaffed and wait times can be long despite open tables. Waiting to be seated is awkward - no designated area, wait staff often doesn't acknowledge you, takes forever. Still, food is worth it. But seriously, hire more people.

  • L. T.

    This saddens me because it was one of my favorite new restaurants. Went for a treat tonight, and found the entire menu had changed, and much for the worse. Where's the larb tofu? The fried tofu the staff suggested instead was poorly prepared - soggy in the middle and an uninspired sauce. The soup has become "wonton soup." Nearly everything has become more and more generic - the spring rolls seem like they were prepared from frozen. A reviewer below mentions that they've lost staff in recent months, and whomever they lost were the talented ones. Now if only I could find out where they now work...

    I have to agree with other recent reviews of poor, slow service. Several menu options not available (and not warned in advance), having to repeatedly request water, spice tray, etc, and super slow pace mean I won't be back any time soon. Still easily the best Thai food I've eaten in Baltimore. However, it is a bad sign when 1/3 of the customers who walk in the door leave before they order or before they get their food. Is this place under new management? No plans to go back any time soon, regardless of how the good the food was.

  • Rebecca M.

    Absolutely fabulous! Thai is by far my favorite cuisine, but living in Baltimore, finding good Thai is certainly not easy, frustrating even. But Stang of Siam is as good as it gets- the food is very well prepared, fresh, & full of carefully blended flavors done just right. The atmosphere & decor are beautiful, tasteful, & relaxing. The staff couldn't be more friendly & attentive. I'm sure I'll find my self going here several times a week, it's that good!

    Had dinner last night with a group and we were all pleasantly surprised by this place. We were a little overwhelmed by the menu at first but eventually made some choices. Wine selection was good- small but thoughtful list. The cocktails were fun and interesting as well- the ginger martini was a big hit at the table. The tom kha gai soup had a really complex flavor. I only had a bite but would happily order it next time I go. The spring rolls and goong sarong were both fried perfectly and were not remotely greasy. The chicken satay came with a homemade chunky peanut sauce that was a really nice touch. I ordered the basil fried rice with shrimp, which had a decent amount of heat and a ton of flavor. The shrimp were a nice size and were cooked perfectly. One of the favorites at the table was the gang ped yang, which is a signature dish. We all kept stealing the red curry sauce, it was so good! The pineapple fried rice was deceptively simple but had a great depth of flavors- a little smoky but sweet. (A really nice option for those that don't want an overtly spicy meal.) We finished with the mango sticky rice, which was just the right size and not too sweet. In terms of service, we were sat upstairs in the loft area, so we were a bit removed from the kitchen and there were some slight delays. That said, I thought they did a decent job tending to us (a group of 7). Some of the entrees came out a bit staggered but we had enough to share between us to keep everyone happy. Just FYI, it can be kind of hard to find parking here so give yourself some time if you have a reservation. It's not a dealbreaker by any means- I'd happily come back here and plan to do so soon!

    I was very impressed with this restaurant. the staff was nice, the menu is huge! The decor/ambiance of this place and the quality of the food is on par with what you would expect at a pricey restaurant but the prices are phenomenal. I took myself and three others out to treat and would up spending well under 100! I was quite thrilled about that. I had coconut curry and tasted a bite of every ones dish, one had pad Thai, one a sea food combo, and one a beef dish...all were awesome.

    A generous 4-star rating. The food has been consistently good and it always tastes fresh even when food is cooked in oil. I was lucky enough to enjoy their lunch special which was a great deal but no longer available. Pricing is typical for Thai food.

    I've had the drunken noodles and green curry and both were delicious, with fresh ingredients. I also love their mango sticky rice. The staff was friendly, the decor is pleasant, and the location is far more convenient for a North Baltimorian than the Federal Hill places. It's our new go-to Thai place.

    (5)

  • Josh A.

    In short: The food is delicious, the drinks are tasty, the decor is pleasant. If the staff were as good, they'd get five stars. Sat down, admired the menus and dark wood furnishings, and waited the requisite ten minutes until our server came by to ask if anyone had taken our order. (Chairs are VERY straight-backed, by the way.) Ordered a trio of cocktails, plus our soups, salad, and some noodle dishes in case we didn't see anyone for another 10 minutes. Oddly, the soups arrived first (after another ten minutes), delicious but lukewarm. Then the cocktails, which were fun, well made, and reasonably priced. The curious timing of food-before-cocktails made perfect sense once we finished our soups, because that's when our server returned bearing three bowls of... soup. Not thinking fast enough, we pointed to the three empty bowls on our table, and he took the new soups back to the kitchen. Sadly, those new bowls were steaming with hot soup (very tasty at lukewarm - imagine how good it would be if hot!). Moral of the dinner: if your soup is cold, just hide the bowls on another table and wait a few minutes. Our noodle dishes (pad see ew, pad kee mao, and pad thai) were all tasty and satisfying. After our meal we received a check, quickly followed by a discussion of what desserts were- and were not- available ('custard' and 'everything else,' respectively). We ordered a custard and put a credit card on the bill. Why came back was a dish of warm custard (interesting, and nothing like the custards I'm used to), and a receipt which we signed. Then came a second bill, just for the custard. A custard which, it should be noted, came with both a side of whipped cream AND a parsley garnish. That dessert could represent the entire meal: good food worth exploring, but distracted by unpredictable service. In this case the custard is, umm... I guess the food, and the parsley garnish represents... the servers? But the servers where rarely there when you wanted them, so shouldn't the parsley represent the timing, and the servers would be... a missing spoon or something. Yeah, I never said it was a good metaphor.

    We ordered the crispy fried duck and steamed dumplings filled with crab meat, chicken, and pork. We did not eat in so cannot comment on service to that extent. As soon as we did arrive however our food was ready to go. Our attendant wasnt the most patient or endearing, but got the job done and responded to our requests for additional to go items without attitude or delay. The lighting was relatively dark, but cozy. I would certainly return for the food and suggest to friends and readers.

    this may or may not be my first yelp review since i permanently moved here to Baltimore, back in June--this in and of itself should say something. since i live about 2 blocks away, i've been tracking Stang's progress for a while now, and it pains me to say that i only got around to actually eating at Stang until yesterday. and, that i plan on going back in about an hour for their AWESOME lunch special (every day!). prior to Stang, Thai Arroyo was my go-to for Thai in Baltimore (their mussels is still my favorite anywhere). but, for this part of town, Stang is a very welcome addition to the burgeoning white-collar dining scene of northern Mt. Vernon. my girlfriend and i each got the lunch special--$10 every day, includes tom yum soup and 2 spring rolls. we started with the fried calamari appetizer, which i was a huge fan of--incredibly crispy (panko), no residual oiliness, and the texture of the squid was perfectly tender. i ordered Drunken Noodles with pork as my lunch entree, and it was incredibly satisfying. all this, for a mere $10! Stang really backs up the quality of the food with its pleasant decor and service. overall, a very satisfying dining experience, and one that i will certainly be frequenting.

    It's common knowledge that I'm in a long term love affair with Thai Arroy. I cheated yesterday ... and I don't feel bad about it! Stang of Siam came so highly recommended by so many different people that I had to rush over for a late lunch and try it out for myself. First of all, the place itself it exactly perfect. The decor was well done; from the chunky wooden block tables to the minimalistic buddahs and uniquley carved menu holders. We also found this place to be very child friendly. My six year old ordered a pineapple juice that they decorated with fancy little swirled orange slices. They also had styrofoam cups with lids and staws, a big plus when you're dining with a child. My husband and I both ordered the green curry with chicken, he requested tofo added to his which they accomodated for a $2 charge. My daughter ordered the chicken satay. I'm going to compare our food experience to Thai Arroy because that's the best it gets for me so far. My husband thought the vegatables in the curry to be fresher than those at Thai Arroy. But he didn't find the sauce to be quite as creamy, which he preferred. I really couldn't tell a difference in the taste or spice in my dish. It really seemed exactly the same, which of course I was very happy with. However there were no little corns in the dish and I like those. I'm also not a huge fan of eggplant in my green curry and I had eight big chunks to pass across the table. Now the chicken satay was a huge difference. The chicken skewers were very small and I was surprised to see they were yellow. Which explained the fact that they tasted like mustard. I would not order that again. My daughter ate it but only because she covered them in the accompanying peanut sauce. So over all I did find Stang of Siam to be very much like my first love, Thai Arroy. If I were on this side of town I'd eat here again.

    Typically, Thai places focus only on food and not on decor or service. At least in Baltimore. Stang of Siam has a really nice interior and the food is certainly better than average. Now, they should focus on improving their service. The service isn't bad at all. It's just not as good as you'd expect at this price range.

  • Joshua G.

    That was fantastic. I got a very spicy vegetarian green curry. I've finally found Thai food to love in Baltimore. Perhaps now, after several years living in this city (and several Thai restaurants), I can finally begin to allow myself to feel truly at home here.

    I'd been here once before with a girlfriend and shared the pineapple fried rice which was yummy and the service was decent. I went here last night for valentines day after MUCH deliberation on where to go to the point of causing me actual anxiety. It was bad. The waiter took our order quickly but the people sitting next to us dint get water for 45 minutes after they asked for it. About an hour after we ordered the waiter brought out three dishes, one for my table ( where we had two people) one for another table that had two people at it and one for another table with two people sitting at it. The next round of plates didn't come out for, no exaggeration, 10 minutes. At that point neither of our food was hot. My boyfriend ordered the chicken prig king and the chicken was tough (like worse than the chicken you get from a carry out or foodcourt Chinese) and my shrimp were tough. Neither of us finished our meals despite being very hungry by the time our food arrived. This guy really didn't deserve a tip and I never say that. maybe try this place for lunch but definitely not for a romantic dinner.

    Great new Thai addition to bmore. Food excellent, decor best in town, service was fine. Went for the chicken basil -excellent. Also seafood drunken noodles were excellent. Edamame a tad over cooked. Not quite as good as Thai restaurant in greenmount but the neighborhood is much safer. Give it a shot!

  • Nichole B.

    Boy oh boy. What can I say but yummo. The best thai food I have tasted in Baltimore yet. I went for lunch last friday and you get alot for 10 dollars. Everything is good, from the spring rolls, the won ton soup, the beef salad, the gra prao seafood, the drunken noodles. There is always the right amount of spice for yoru palate. And yes the major plus is the BYOB, lemme say it again folks, BYOB. The decor is amazing, from the deep chocolate painted walls to the amazing asian sculptures in the windows. And I would even recommend this place for a quiet cozy date night with your beau. Also another plus is that it offers an plethora vegan delights for the non carnivores. So meat eaters and non meat eaters can dine in harmony. The location is great because you have the convience of liqour stores nearby such as Calvins. I think it is a great addition to the Mount Vernon neighborhood, now the residents have more food choices on the Calvert street side. I hope they stick around for a long time.

    Five stars not for its supremacy or incomparable food, but it's consistently good service, good food and accessible/affordable lunch options if you're gun-shy about paying for dinner [which is worth it btw]. I've tried many things on a fairly large menu and I can't say anything was singular but all were fairly solid and appreciable. The one gem here though is the "Sticky rice with mango." [dessert]. Don't visit without trying that.

  • Kelly L.

    I have to admit, when the restaurant first opened, the food was good but not great. I've gone back a few times since because it's affordable, open late, and located near my house. I must say every time I eat here, the food gets better and better. It is also vegetarian and vegan friendly, which is a huge bonus! If you're vegan, they don't use fish sauce in any of their veg dishes (just be sure to ask for no egg). I highly recommend the Tofu Pad Thai, Pad Prig King Tofu, and the Drunken Noodles with Tofu. Trust me you will no regret it!

  • Ed W.

    First off - food was excellent! Had the salmon panang curry. Sauce was great, the salmon had an unexpected crispiness to it which I liked, and the vegetables were fresh. If I had any issue, it would be that the asparagus in the dish seemed a little too firm. The service was okay, no real complaints. It wasn't very crowded and our food seemed to arrive when it should have. It was freezing in there though! Even after drinking some jasmine tea, I had to put my coat back on. Our waiter and the bartender were wearing their coats while working. Seemed a little ridiculous.

  • Joseph K.

    In the words of Larry David, this place is "Pretty good...pretty pretty good." I love the environment. Very modern, simple, yet elegant, yet casual at the same time. Love how they use their space. Love the upstairs area..love the colorful lively bar area in full view. All of the following had a different type of meat (chicken, beef, pork are the same price seafood is greater) The noodles were a good texture, chewy, slimy..like good thai rice noodles. The flavors were great and powerful. The portion sizes are great. (except the rice that comes with curry ....miserably small portion of rice) Prices are a little steep in my book, but overall it's not too bad for thai food in the area. All the meats were cooked ok. ..nothing overly tender or amazing, but good infusion of the flavors Please family style to get the most out of this place ..take bits of everything. 4 dishes + 1 app for 4 22 year old men. We were full. One more dish would have definitely been overkill. 1) Fried calamari - I love the extra crispy crust on this. Use your hands because it'll break with a fork. The calamari was a little inconsistent. Some were overcooked and too rubbery. Others were perfect. The peanut chili sweet sauce is...the bawsss souusseee I could drink this for days. 2) Stang noodles chef special - a seafood pad see ew/drunken noodle type dish. I would expect lots of places to skimp on the seafood. But it had a decent amount. 3 large mussels, 3.5ish medium scallops (huge + in my book), and a few squid. Great stuff. 3) pad see ew - This was a slight disappointment. People in my party haven't had much pad see ew and so weren't comparing to other pad see ews they've had. Strictly based on taste, we all agreed it was too sweet and too salty. Almost too much flavor. If I had to eat this by myself, I wouldn't even get through half of it. I'm hoping it was a fluke ...I might have to get it again sometime because it is my favorite dish. It's probably the worst pad see ew i've had, just too overwhelming, but in the end still decent. 4) Panang curry - too much coconut milk for me. Might just be preference. Hid the spiciness WAY too much. Decent flavor, good amount. Miserably small portion of rice though ...really sad actually ..no way someone could handle that much curry (especially with that milk) and cut down on the richness with such a small portion of rice. 5) chicken basil fried rice- Not an overwhelming flavor of basil, but in the end it was slightly mundane. It was good but it didn't explode in my mouth. Not a 5 mostly because of the small rice portion for the curry, the over coconuty flavor of the curry, and the excess sweet and salty flavor of the pad see ew. But a very solid 4, on the verge of a 4.5 At the end of the meal I forgot to put a squeeze of lime on everything. I had to do it for some of the smaller left over bits and it was amazing. Sqeeze that lime!! goes great with the richness of all the flavors. Will be back for more!!

    So I've been plotting with friends on how to beat their system. The food is really good here. Like best Thai food in Baltimore good, but their service SUCKS!!! Like get up and walk out kind of sucks. It's funny that you have to have a snack before you go because your meal will take 90 minutes to hit the table. I love a nice meal and good conversation, but I don't always have 3 hours for a meal. You know it's bad when on a nice day you consider not eating out side because they might forget you're there. My new plan is to call in a carryout order, and when I show up to pick it up tell them I just want it plated and will eat there. Wish me luck.

    The ambiance is very somewhat mysterious yet inviting. The dinning area is enclosed in dark wood and surrounded by several stone buddha statues. However, it is also very open and well lit. The menu was well-organized and even has a section filled with vegetarian options. Our table ordered green curry with chicken, panang curry with chicken, and pad gra pao with chicken. The green curry was slightly milder than the panang but both were excellent. They had the right balance of smooth coconut milk and robust spices. The ginger or galangal flavor was subtle and added just the right amount of bite. I would highly recommend these dishes. The pad gra pao was ok. The flavors were good, but not really noteworthy. It didn't taste significantly better than a something I could get elsewhere. The dish was also a bit too salty and could have used a more robust chili flavor. The portion size was also a bit lacking for the price. My one major complaint about the food was the rice. First of all, the rice portion that comes with the food is super small. The ration of curry to rice is about 3-to-1. Second, extra rice costs $2.00! I'm not a fan of asian restaurants charging for rice in general but $2.00 is crazy. In summary, this is definitely a great place for Thai food and as close as it gets to authentic in Baltimore. However, I would recommend going here with a other people in order to get a wide sampling of the restaurant's offerings.

    this place is great. we ordered take out. the drunken noodles were great! not too oily but not as spicy as usual. we also got the pad see ew which was good. it looked exactly like the drunken noodles but it was sweet. the red curry looked like yellow curry. you can taste the coconut and sweet. will come again!

    Great food, great service, and BYOB! That's right, the place is awaiting its liquor license (they think it will take about two months) and is allowing guests to BYOB in the interim. There is a liquor store right next door (Calvins) for your convenience. The place is already out of the ordinary - crowded in Midtown Belvedere on a Wednesday! Thai food isn't my first choice, but the pad thai was flavorful and delicious. I wouldn't recommend the Tom Yum Goong; it smelled amazing, but tasted like a bowl of lime juice. My friends enjoyed the spring rolls and the edamame was a perfect temperature without too much salt. The place is in an old row house. There is seating on the a second floor loft (think a shrunken XS meets Marie Louise).. Everything is brown and appears dark and drained, but the waiter was nice. The owner has two places in DC so there is hope for longevity, and a much needed new neighborhood Thai institution.

    I hate to buck the trend of 5 stars, but that doesn't at all mean this place isn't excellent. I admit, I was a little skeptical. It's kind of off the beaten trail, yet is still doing the whole upscale, fancy-shmancy look, which threw me off a bit. But the place delivers. I had the drunken noodles, which was not only an enormous portion, but it was excellently spiced and cooked. $12 is about average for thai, but the portion was very generous. My friend got some tofu-related dish, which was also great. Tofu in a lot of thai dishes I've had can be a bit mushy and flavorless, but they really did a good job infusing the flavor into it, so it was a big hunk of tasty. Definitely recommend.

    This place is fab! I love going here for lunch. They have a pretty awesome lunch special, $10 for an entree, spring roll and soup or salad. However, thats dine in only. If you carry out its regular price. This places measure up well to my other go to Thai, Navi Thai in Wheaton, Where this place gets it wrong is on service. Carryout service has usually been cold and borderline rude. There also always seems to be a problem. One day the credit card machine was down, the next time manager was late and apparently the employees only know how to cook or serve. They ended up closing the restaurant because no could work the register. Thank goodness my group had exact cash or else this restaurant would have been out of $50 bucks.

    Dinner on a Tuesday night with a friend - was more crowded than expected especially for a Tuesday night. We got drunken noodles with chicken and pad prik king with chicken - both delicious and highly satisfying. Service was timely and good. Food, as always, fresh and excellent. Will definitely go again!

  • Billy S.

    I agree with whoever said there was a lack of key (and honestly cheaper) ingredients in some of their dishes. I felt like my delicious (and spicy! which is good for me) drunken noodles barely had any noodles...? Carb friendly I guess. They were still very good, and I would suggest trying them. The calamari is just not good, I highly suggest NOT getting it. Barely cooked rings of tastelessness. I have also gotten the pad thai and asked for it hot and it was barely mild compared to the hotness of the DN. The chicken pad thai was still delicious, esp. what I took home and added sriracha to. I have gotten delivery (I am lazy) and it took about an hour on a weekend night, which is to be expected. All in all pretty solid Thai food for a semi-reasonable price right in my neighborhood. I will def be back.

    The food is great, but you lost two stars on service. I hate to have to leave my seat to chase down a server. Next time ill try the bar, as friends recommend the service is much better.

    Deemed the best Thai in Baltimore by many a friend, I'm not as big a fan of Stang. I find some of the dishes too sugary or too salty. The only times I drop by Stang is during the weekdays for their $10 lunch special.

    I have been here now twice, both for dinner. It's a small place but the ambiance is nice and cozy with Buddhist-related decor. The food: - Appetizer: Chicken satay was good. Liked the peanut sauce and pickled chopped veggies as well. - Soup: Tom yang goong was tasty, but I like mine hotter (temp-wise) and spicier. It was a bit mild and lukewarm. Still, 3 big plump shrimps in the soup are a plus. - Entrees: Pad see eew is a bit on the sweeter side, but still good. Stang noodle has a good amount of seafood (shrimp, mussel, and squid) and overall very tasty! My friends had beef panang curry and chicken green curry. Both were flavorful. They could serve a bigger portion of rice though. - Service: The wait staff are a bit slow. It's hard to catch their attention to get more water, order other things, request a check, or even pay. Still, the servers are nice and try to accommodate customers. Definitely will come back for another dinner, try out their lunch menus, and recommend to my friends :)

    With the cold weather settling in, my friend and I decided to go on a spontaneous quest for some hot soup. We had originally planned on going to Mekhong Delta, only to be mildly devastated when we discover that they weren't open on Mondays. While still reeling with disappointment, I remembered that once on an ill-advised walk from Peabody to Penn Station, I had came across this small corner-restaurant and logged it away for future reference. Coincidentally, we ran into another friend who mentioned that the food here was bomb so we decided that if we couldn't have pho, some curry would make an acceptable alternative. We weren't disappointed. For such a small store-front in the semi-middle-of-nowhere, Stang of Siam delivered. Rating Breakdown: 2/2 Stars for Taste - My friend ordered the Cashew Shrimp while I ordered the Green Curry with Beef. My curry came with eggplant and tender bamboo shoots, SO GOOD. My mouth was in ecstasy. The giant shrimp were succulent while the light coat of batter stayed crispy in the red sauce. We also ordered Thai Iced Coffee and Iced Tea. While I wasn't a fan of the iced coffee, the iced tea was delicious. Everything was authentic, none of that fake Spring Fair fare. 1/1 Stars for Value - Thai food tends to be on the expensive side, so i was resigned to spend a bit more. Each dinner entree was about $13-16, depending on what kind of meat option you chose. Speciality dishes ran at from $16-20. With one entree and a drink each, my friend and I ended up paying about $21 each, including tax and tip. 1/1 for Customer Service - Our friend told us to expect a bit of a wait, but we were seated immediately upon entering. The waiters were very friendly. When I asked one for advice on which curry I should choose, she patiently answered all my questions. The food came quickly, water glasses stayed full, all was good in the 'hood. Bonus Star because I would definitely come here again. It's kind of a "thai" (ahahahaha I crack myself up) between here and Thai Landing for me right now. Stang of Siam has a barfront and a more of a modern feel. I definitely recommend trying both of these places and finding your own preference, because both are simplyamazing!

    Food here is solid. Personally I think you can find just as good quality Thai food at Thai Arroy on Light Street. Every time I've ordered here for pick up, I've been told the wait time which varies between 10-20 minutes-WHICH IS NOT TRUE! I've had to wait 10-30 minutes in addition to the wait time given to me over the phone. I would appreciate some honesty and have them give me a more accurate wait time, so I'm not just standing their at the restaurant watching everyone else eat. Their lunch specials are cheap and great...if you want to enjoy, just make sure you have nothing scheduled shortly after lunch because this restaurant is highly understaffed and will take a long time for your food to come out.

    Newly opened, Stang has a colorful array of thai yumminess. Yes, I said yumminess. I strolled in on Tuesday evening and ordered the Pad Gra Prao- Seafood. Savory and delicious with every bite. Currently they don't have a liquor license, so the plus is....BYOB! That's right bring a bottle in while you dine. They also boast an awesome lunch menu.

    We have passed by Stang several times since it has opened, and have usually been intimidated by the crowd inside. The full tables in addition to some of the Yelpers' comments here about slow service made us cautious about going. An expiring Living Social coupon finally forced us to act, and are we happy we did. Service and wait time: I know that in the restaurant business every night is different, and I have no doubt that some of the other Yelpers had to wait for their food. Last night, however, with a full dining room, our three (that's right, three) waitresses were prompt, friendly, and helpful. Appetizers (curry puffs, special pumpkin version is just amazing with silky smooth texture and nice sweet pumpkin flavor) came out in about 5 minutes, then entrees came out about ten minutes after we were done with those. Your results may vary, but service was prompt. Food was probably best Thai we've had in Baltimore. (As a reference, best Thai I've had was at a little hole-in-the-wall on Kapahulu Ave near Ono's in Honolulu that I think is closed now and second best is at Rice in DC.) The real surprise was the mango and sticky rice. Plenty of flavorful mango surrounding a mound of black rice topped with a sauce that seemed like thinned and way less cloying sweetened condensed milk. The thing about the black rice is that it retains a little bit of body, so that the dish is not the typical mound of glutinous starch you get at most Thai joints. This mango and sticky rice is by far the best we've ever had.

    Last night, I came home from work exhausted and decided it was definitely a dinner delivery kind of night. I hadn't yet tried Stang of Siam and since they were available through Eat24Hours.com , I thought I'd give it a go. I'm SO glad I did! For an app, I got the chicken satay. I can never pass up peanut sauce! The chicken was thinly sliced, well-cooked, and came with a small container of slightly-too-sweet peanut sauce and another of pickled vegs. Overall, a decent start to the meal (even if a bit pricey). For my entree, I opted for the shrimp pad thai. Overall, this dish was quite solid. The portion was generous (big enough to share, if you're having starters and/or dessert) and came with a container of chopped peanuts and a wedge of lime to squeeze on top. Some pad thai has no flavor, but this one had a subtle sweetness and really satisfying chew to it with the inclusion of the sprouts and pieces of fried tofu--to say nothing of the 8 or so large shrimp perched around the edges. Eventually, I set the noodles aside and decided to try dessert. I got the Stang's custard, each component of which had come individually wrapped. There was a patty of black sticky rice; a square of taro custard, which was rich and sweet; a small container of coconut milk sauce, which added a hint of saltiness to balance it out; and another small container of a crunchy topping that I couldn't place but which was quite tasty. Being a fan of leftovers, I had also ordered a container of medium-spicy drunken noodles with beef, so this afternoon, after having skipped breakfast, I decided to dig into that treasure. All I can say is DEELISH! Perfectly cooked, expertly seasoned, and just spicy enough to have a bit of a kick, the noodles were accompanied by slivered onion and pepper, sweet halved cherry tomatoes, and basil leaves, along with tender-thin slices of beef. I would order this again and again! I'm sure that dining in at the restaurant provides an even better experience food-wise, but even for delivery, I was very pleased with all my choices--as well as with the leftovers they yielded! I'm looking forward to making this a regular choice for delivery (and in-person dining) in the future!

    The reigning champ of tastiest Thai food in Bmore! Tip: Position yourself comfortably towards the HDTV at the bar because you are going to have to WAIT a while---but it is sooooo worth it! Thai beef salad = neutral. The beef was tender and well-marinated however the rice vinegar dressing overwhelmed the otherwise solid dish. Soup = excellent. The savory Tom Kha Ghai (coconut) hits the spot on a frigid Bmore night. Though the soup is presented in a very wide and shallow bowl so it gets cold quickly--so just ask for it extra hot! Curries = superb. The curry-to-vegetable ratio is perfect. We had the massaman and green curries were uber-flavorful, creamy and hearty. Noodles = solid. Topped with fresh vegetables, the pad-see ew had the right amount of heat and the soy-base sauce had near perfect balance of sweet, sour and saltiness. Drunken noodles were not as good---we did not care for the sauce as much however it was still good.

    They had a little bobble with some turnover of staff in late December/early January, but they seem to be back and better than ever. This may be the Thai place that Baltimore has been waiting for. Thoughtfully prepared and presented Thai food in a beautiful space, reclaiming a little-used corner of Mt. Vernon. Not a thing wrong with that.

  • Tania A.

    My absolute favorite restaurant in Baltimore! Baltimore, like most other small cities, lacks a high bar for restaurants. Given that, I believe this restaurant exceeds my expectations. The intimate atmosphere and delicious dishes create a quality dining experience. Staff can be bit more friendly though.

  • You-Nice J.

    My favorite Thai place in Baltimore. I've never had a dish that I didn't enjoy. The sauces are always flavorful, and the portions are just right. (Although more is always better because you can always have leftovers the next day) The only downfall I would say is that there isn't enough space in between the tables. I'm a huge fan of Thai iced tea and I would give theirs a 6 out of 10. I need to find a good Thai iced tea spot in Baltimore ASAP.

  • Renee C.

    The food was delicious. It was made and delivered in a very timely manner. The staff was nice and receptive. We split the Panang Curry, with tofu and the Pad eggplant with chicken. Some of the best Thai food I have ever had. It was decorated beautifully, it is in a renovated Mount Vernon row house, but the space has been opened up.

    WORST DELIVERY SERVICE EVER!!! I placed a delivery order through Eat 24 and when the delivery driver came to the lobby, he called me and told me how he wouldn't deliver to my unit. I asked him why not and he had the nerve to tell me how he didn't have time to do this b/c he had other orders...even though he was already in the lobby and my unit was just an elevator ride up...keep in mind, this is HIS JOB!!! So, I tell him it's just an elevator ride up and then he raises his voice at me, and then tells me "Dude, I don't have time for your sh*t!!". Needless to say, I was pissed and told him to forget the whole order. I get a call from the concierge desk at my building, and the concierge tells me the delivery guy left my food anyway...right on the floor of the lobby between the elevators...where everyone walks through. So, I call Eat 24 and tell them what happened...of course, they refund all my money (including the friggin' tip I gave the delivery driver since it was a CC order). The good thing was, Eat 24 said they would have an Account Manager contact the restaurant to discuss the incident. But I wanted to call the restaurant too and let them know that this is completely unacceptable...the Manager/Owner said they "try to have people pick up the food in the lobby b/c of safety concerns for the drivers"...now, this would make sense if perhaps I lived in a bad neighborhood, but considering I live in a luxury high rise, I find this laughable at best. Needless to say, I tell the owner what the delivery driver said and she finally got it...they'll "talk to the driver"...whether this happens or not, I'm not holding my breath. I refused to eat the food and threw it away...it's funny how I never seem to have a problem ordering from other places where their drivers actually understand that they have to actually complete the whole "delivery" part of the process as part of their jobs. With delivery drivers like this (at Stang of Siam), I might as well get my food myself!! I mean, seriously, why the hell would I want to pay someone to half-deliver my food to me, then give me grief??!!?? Stang of Siam - here's a message for you: Do you honestly want a delivery driver to represent your restaurant who is as rude, stupid and unfriendly as the DBag who delivered my food to me??!!?? Who knows how many other people he's pissed off half-delivering your food?? To other YELP readers: Beware of the horrendous delivery service here!! This restaurant definitely stays true to their name...they really are the "Stang" of Siam...order here, and you will get STUNG! There are plenty of other restaurants that will deliver you food in a timely fashion, all the way to your front door, and be courteous at the same time. I know, what a novel concept huh? But don't take my word for it...BUYER BEWARE: order here at your own risk!

    Food is still good, and the lunch time menu is very reasonable. But the price of green tea was ridiculous. I happened to know which brand of tea they use and how much it cost, and charging $3 for a tea bag is a total robbery. Even Starbucks charged less. Next time I will just ask for a hot water and bring my own tea bag; it's the same tea and mine cost the tenth of what they charge.

    Really confused about the hype. A lot of reviews criticized the sparse decor and slow service, but praised the food. Our experience was the exact opposite! We went for lunch on a rainy Saturday afternoon, hoping for some spice to cheer us up. They didn't have the dish Colin originally wanted, so he settled for the Pad See Ew and I ordered the Pad Thai. Both of our dishes were ridiculously sweet. They were even sweeter than the Thai iced tea, which tasted like it had three desserts worth of sugar in it. I know both those dishes can lean toward the sweeter side, but the amount of sweetness we tasted made the meal almost unbearable. On the upside, the service was very attentive and our food was prompt. Also, I thought the wooden check presenters were pretty unique.

  • Brian A.

    Stang of Siam was good but not spectacular. I visited in hopes of finding my favorite Thai joint in Baltimore. Instead I now have a three way "Thai" between Stang of Siam, Thai Restaurant, and Thai Arroy. We ordered Thai Iced Tea, Pad Thai and Pad see Ew. Thai Iced Tea was delicious, creamy and a little spiced. The Pad Thai was standard but good but a very slight and strange after taste bothered me. The Pad see Ew was delicious. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. The interior is nice but everything is brown, a little color might be nice. The lighting is dark and makes for a more comfortable date environment than Thai Restaurant or Thai Arroy but the price is slightly higher.

    I saw so many reviews of this place, and as its right by my house we decided that we would go there for the SO's birthday. We got the app combo and a tofu noodle dish. I dont know that I loved it, but I liked it enough. The prices are similar to other places around the area-- the mango mojito was not as yummy as the lychee martini? And I had the SO finish my mango drink while i sipped on his drink. The room was uber crowded -- they tried to shove as many tables in the place as they could (it seemed that way anyway). It looked like it was hard for the waitresses/waiters to get to the tables.

    Great place! Been here three times in the past couple of months - twice for dinner and once for lunch. The lunch special is great ($10 for entree plus soup and spring roll) and the menu is very vegetarian friendly. Service has been impeccable every time. The servers are attentive and keep your water glass full, which is crucial when you eat something spicy like their drunken noodles! I've been there towards the end of the night with some friends, and the servers gave us more hot water for our tea - without being asked - even though we were the last party and they must have been ready to close up. Very nice. It's the little things. The space is lovely and there are lots of nice details, like the wooden box that they bring your bill in. Food is delicious, but minus one star because it's a bit heavier than I like my Thai food. The tofu seems a little greasy to me. If I could give half stars, I'd give this place a solid 4.5. Pretty good for Thai, and great for Thai in Baltimore.

    This is an amazing place to have dinner. I enjoyed eating here many times with my friends. Drunken noodle is so amazing, and it will beyond great when you have it with beef or seafood. Green curry and Goong Sarong are so wonderful too. This place is a bit noisy. However, overall environment is still good enough for a big party(8-10). Moreover, servers here are so friendly. Sometimes, They serve the wrong order. You just tell them, and they will change the food for you with no question.

    I ordered delivery via Grub Hub, which could be why I'm only going 4 stars? The delivery was 35 minutes after quoted time. Fried calamari was excellent 5 stars. I'm pretty sure it was homemade, cause was not your typical Sysco frozen junk. Chicken Pad Thai was 4 stars. Thom Yum Ka(?) was great, 5 stars. I'm about to heat up the leftover of it now....yum! The Baltimore Fried Rice w crab was a novelty worth trying, and went over very well with our group. The customer service was good and got all the food order correct, but forgot to send plates and napkins, which I called in specifically to request. It's minor, but did make for a small challenge to each, since I was at a hotel. Overall, the food was great! Check them out.

    On the recommendation of a friend I tried this place and it was excellent! I ordered the drunken noodles with chicken and red curry chicken for delivery and both were extremely tasty and delivery was very fast! I only gave 4 stars bc I asked for coconut rice and got plain rice, which was a bit disappointing, but the flavour of the red curry more than compensated! I'm definitely going to order from here again!

  • Scott O.

    I love Stang of Siam. They have an extensive vegan/vegetarian section on their menu. The panang tofu and pad prig king tofu are my favorites, and the vegetarian curry puffs (with pumpkin) cannot be skipped. The service is friendly and helpful, although the kitchen can get understandably slow when they are busy. I think the prices are a bit high, but when I want great Thai, I'm willing to pay. The atmosphere is casual, but upscale, so Stang isn't just a take-out place, although they're good at that too.

    Wonderful Thai restaurant in Baltimore. It was very busy on a Friday night, which was great, but not excessively loud. The interior is beautiful. The service was great, quick and came to refill drinks periodically. The food came out pretty fast. I had the Panang Tofu. It was delicious! There was lots of tofu, the curry tasted great. The dish came with a side of white rice and it was perfect to mix in my rice into my tofu and curry. My friend had the chicken khao Soi which looked like a soupy noodle. She noted that she hasn't seen that popular Thai dish at many other Thai restaurants in Baltimore, so she figured she'd give it a try. She said it was delicious and the portion was quite sizeable. For dessert we shared the mango sticky rice. Compared to other mango sticky rices I've eaten, this rice was much less sweet and much more gelatinous. I think it was a balanced dessert because the rice was warm and soft, and complemented the sweetness of the mangoes very well. The presentation of the dessert was top notch too. Definitely would recommend, just a few blocks away from Penn Station so very accessible.

    We tried this place because of the reviews and there was a deal on groupon. Boy were we disappointed. We paid $7.50 for the crispy spring rolls that only came in 3 pieces. Then the main entrees were really small portion with big plates. The service were slow even though it was fully staffed. Our food took over 30 minutes to arrive and the food did NOT taste authentic. Overall, it was not what we expected by the raving reviews.

  • Roger H.

    I've now been three times for lunch and have had enough food to say that I really love this place. The lunch special is a list of Thai favorites like Drunken Noodles (quite good) and spicy Thai eggplant...and some curries too...plus a small salad and fried spring roll for $10.99. Not cheap but it is a LOT of food and you can definitely take some back home or to the office. Unless, of course you just love to eat tasty Thai at lunch and just choose to pig out instead. The back of the menu has a long list of lunch veggie specials. The place was not crowded...nice fast waiter each time. Just about 3 blocks from the heart of the University of Baltimore campus. Tip: You need to ask for the little trio tray of chili pepper, chili sauce, and some kind of marinated hot hot hot pepper. They don't just bring it to you. Great place. I will be a regular.

    Became one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the area. I had the groupon which included two glasses of wine, one appetizer, two entrees. I liked how they had no restrictions what so ever to use the groupon. We had two entrees from the chef suggestions menu. We asked for mild spiceness and glad we did as they were pretty spicy being mild (in a good way). Portions were big as well. I will definitely come back!

  • Mallory S.

    Best Thai food in Baltimore! Whenever I have a craving for authentic Thai food I go straight to Stang of Siam. This place does have delivery but only within a mile radius. Simple menu with traditional dishes. Favorites: - Papaya salad: spicy, crunchy, everything I look for in a papaya salad - Spicy beef salad: great chili flavor, one of my favorite items from any Thai place and this one does it right -Spring rolls: crunchy, not too greasy, delicious sweet Thai chili sauce -Baltimore crab fried rice: traditional fried rice with tons of flavor with Maryland blue crab as the protein, what could be bad about that TIP: if you're into spice,ask for hot sauce. It's a trio of red pepper flakes, chili oil, and garlic chili sauce

    Came with a Groupon (2 cocktails/wine, 1 appetizer, and 2 entrees) on a Friday night. We had to wait awkwardly in the front for a bit for someone to notice us and seat us. Inside was very nice though. They had nice dark purple walls and candles on all the tables. This would be a nice date night spot. After we were finally seated, we started off with the Tod mun goong for the appetizer. This was just mehh. Maybe because I didn't read the description that closely but it was minced shrimp that was deep fried and served with sauce. We also ordered a Mai Tai and a mango mojito. These were disappointing too. The Mai Tai was okay but the "mojito" was not anywhere near what a mojito should be. It was too sweet and tasted like it came from a mixer. For the entrees, we split the Duck Gra Prao and the Stang noodles. Now these impressed me! They were both on the signature menu and I can see why! The Duck Gra Prao was crispy duck with basil and garlic chili sauce. It was really flavorful and very spicy! And the Stang noodles were good as well. It reminded me of drunken noodles but with lots of seafood and veggies. It had mussels, calamari, scallops and shrimp. They definitely didn't skimp on the seafood! And this was spicy as well. Service was almost non-existent. Our waitress didn't check on us once after our food was brought to the table. At the end of our meal we wanted to try dessert, but our waitress was nowhere to be found. We eventually gave up, and when we finally flagged her down, we just got the check. The food was great, but the service was pretty bad, especially for the amount you'll spend here. I probably wouldn't come here again unless there was a Groupon and I was in the mood for mediocre service.

    Here I sit, eating someone else's pad thai and wishing it were theirs. The pad thai here is my holy grail. FRIED tofu on top of your chosen protein (I have no idea why no one else seems to realize that this is the only way to do it), copious green onions, just saucy enough... Living in Philly now, I desperately order and order again, each place further away from Stang's version than the last... Seriously considering a trip back down south just for their noodles. Oh, and curry puffs. Because apparently no one up here does those as deliciously, either.

    We would be arriving at BWI around lunchtime. For weeks, these St. Louisans planned to dine at another establishment near Stang of Siam after viewing it on the Food Network. But when we arrived gat the location, it was closed. So we had to find a place. I Googled nearby restaurants and the carload of midwesterners agreed on Stang of Siam. Best. Pad. Thai. Ever. A local diner gave us some suggestions. We had deliciously crisp, tasty spring rolls and an order of slightly overcooked calamari as appetizers. The breading on the calamari was excellent, as was the sauce. My mom had the chicken pad thai, and it was wonderful. My stepdad had the drunken noodles with shrimp. There was a complexity of flavors that was masterful, according to my stepdad. The aroma was simply amazing. We even asked the waiter what kind of basil they used. I had the shrimp pad thai. I consider myself a pad thai connoisseur, and i get it whenever it's available at a restaurant. The flavors were incredible. They included a generous portion of egg for this girl who always orders it with extra egg but forgot this time. I was pleasantly surprised. And the shrimp was cooked perfectly. That, plus the al dente noodles, plus the peanuts, green onions and sprouts...just wonderful. I added soy sauce and red chili sauce for additional flavor and heat. My mom told me she has never seen me eat an entire order. It was simply the best. I would absolutely go back for more.

    AMAZING FOOD!!!! The portions are nice and large!! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is good. I personally don't like peanuts so I got a Thai dish that had a "sweet Thai soy sauce" instead of a peanut sauce and it was amazing!!! I highly recommend this place. It's a little small so it may be better for a date night instead of a huge group dinner.

    Came here once at lunch and got a drunken noodle lunch special (comes with a little salad and roll). Our food came out really quickly; I thought that my noodles were really good and a good deal Came back to Stang for dinner a different day and ordered the drunken noodle again but this time it seemed like the noodles had been soaking too long and were big and floppy, in a bad way. All the vegetables were undercooked and crunchy more than I would like them to be (in both the tom kha and the drunken noodle) The service was slow and inattentive at dinner

    I've always been a fan of Stang. The food is always awesome, delivery times are a bit long but the food always arrives hot, and it's always flavorful and tasty. My only complaint is from the food I ordered tonight. The food took over an hour to arrive (but was still hot, so that's not much of a criticism as an unbiased observation), but the big thing is I have already pulled about half a dozen 6+" black hairs out of my Gang Masaman tofu. I spent over a decade in kitchens and I understand that things happen, but this is very off-putting and I probably will not be ordering from here again.

    This was my first time at a Thai restaurant and having Thai food. My friend Jarrod brought me here. I was excited!!!! We ordered the Thai iced tea...DELISH!!!! We had the fried tofu for an appetizer. It took me a good while to pick something. I am very choosey...picky and like to stay with familiar things, but being that this was a first for me I knew I had to step out the box. I ended up ordering a dish with egg plant and tofu. This was a good choice because I like egg plant and tofu...still managed to stay in the "safe" zone. It was a very good dish. I didn't see it listed on the menu here tho. I will most definitely return!!!! Hopefully I can pull myself away from the dish I got and try something else.

  • Matt B.

    Not a bad little spot. I had the drunken noodles Thai ice tea and a beer and the bill was shy of $30. On the menu the drunken noodles were indicated as spicy which I didn't think they were. I am accustomed to hot Thai food where hot means you are crying so if you want your food spicy make sure to ask and don't go off the indicators on the menu. The Thai ice tea was good. Overall the menu seemed large and many options were available including vegetarian options. Will likely return.

  • Nicole J.

    I really tried to like this place.... I really did. But to the point where you're waiting over an hour for a PICK UP order??? That's messed up and unprofessional. The food is good but baltimore has a lot of great thai restaurants including thai landing, thai arrow, and elephant wok (great quality and even better prices). Also, stang of Siam is the kind of place that charges $20 corkage fee for BYOB. The point where they are ineffectively slow on food, service, and communication makes the whole dining experience lackluster. Save yourself from disappointment and go to a different restaurant.

    I like Stang of Siam food - too bad the service I received recently was TERRIBLE. We ordered pick-up through Yelp and showed up about 20 minutes after ordering (the website said 10-30 minutes). We then proceeded to wait a FULL HOUR, sitting in a cold area of the restaurant at a tiny table, watching other people be fed. At one point, one of the waitresses seemed to indicate that they had forgotten our food, but made no further comment. We were ignored - to the point where the people would even avoid looking at our table - for the entire hour. Obviously, good restaurants get busy, and I don't mind waiting if things are going crazy. But being ignored and basically shoved off into a corner on a not-very-busy night was offensive. The right way to handle this is to apologize, explain the situation, bring a glass of water, and to check in on us periodically - not to avoid the situation like a dog that has pooped on the floor. Of course, don't get me wrong, there's more than just a single incident of bad service to complain about. The street parking was virtually nonexistent, the corking fee is an extortionary $20, and the price of the food is pretty extreme. Stang of Siam has good food - but there are plenty other good Thai places in Baltimore I can go instead.

    Best Thai restaurant in Baltimore!! Some days the place were pretty crowded but I've never disappointed with their food. My favorite menu is fried rice. We had also had crispy string bean and seafood sizzling. They were amazing!

  • Chris S.

    Good but definitely not great Thai restaurant in the general downtown Baltimore area. It is a nice looking restaurant, the decor is charming and cute, nothing special but it makes you feel a little warm to be there. Service is just okay, staff is friendly enough but not overly attentive, they kind of leave you to your own devices after taking your order and delivering your food. They don't even really come back for the check without some prodding which isn't necessarily a bad thing every once ad a while. Food was just okay, calamari was nicely breaded with decent flavor, it also wasn't overly oily and the accompanying sauce had a nice zest to it. Main course was the pineapple fried rice, sweet and tangy, chicken was a tad dry but not horrible. Rice was fluffy and well prepared. While I'd never make the long haul to Baltimore just for Stang if I was in the neighborhood and seeking Thai, I'd give it a go.

  • Desiree W.

    The lunch special is a good price and a good amount of food. The pad see ew was good but a little mushy (which I liked but I can see how other people might no like it). The cashew chicken was good, too, but was spicier than expected and was a little too fried. All in all it was good but not amazing, so maybe better for lunch.

  • Jenn H.

    So glad I got to eat here on my visit home to Baltimore. I was craving Panang curry and this little, quaint place definitely hit the spot. It is soooo good!! Excellent ambiance, good prices, and a nice location. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends in Baltimore!

  • Maddie F.

    I just ordered delivery tonight for the first time and am so disappointed. It said it would be here from 75-90min which I completely understand after working a restaurant for years. But when I received my meal 2 hours later everything is cold and undercooked. The portions are ridiculous for when I paid - especially for the mango with sticky rice. Don't think I will be ordering again.

    If you drive past Stang of Siam and keep putting off a visit, save yourself and just go. The nice slate storefront represents some awesome authentic Thai cuisine. We called for reservations and they barely understood us. Great sign :-) We walked so didn't need to worry about street parking and could walk off our big dinner afterwards. Saturday early dinner is the time to go. Service was great because we were the largest party there and few other tables. This place beats out my other favorite Thai restaurant, Little Spice in Hanover, Maryland. I can't rave about the pad thai (I normally never do anywhere) or the edamame (which was still good). But everything else was to rave for and the bill so was cheap $60 for 6 people (we drank water). - Green Mango Salad - Green Papaya Salad - Edamame (standard, nothing special) - Chicken Fried Rice (awesome for a mellow stomach day) - Pad Thai (normal) - Drunken Noodles (awesome basil flavor and yummy fat noodles) - Duck Gra Prao - deep-fried crispy boneless duck, sweet basil, chili garlic sauce - Pla Lad Prik - fried fish flounder, chili basil sauce. crispy/light, must eat all fresh! We had a beef dish that was amazing too but I can't remember what it was. There was so much food. It's best to go with a big group so you can try more than 2 dishes.

    I was very pleasantly surprised when I came here for the first time yesterday. Things I really liked: -No wait time (We came on Tuesday around 6pm) -Food: We all ordered the Drunken Noodles, and even though we stuffed ourselves with the huge portion, it was incredibly delicious. We also got an order of the sticky rice with mango, which I highly recommend. -Price: It was a teeeny bit pricey, but if I had actually restrained myself and not eaten the whole thing, I could have easily taken half to go. -Parking: I had to drive around the corner, but I found free parking pretty easily. My friends and I somehow gravitate to asian food for our weekly get togethers, and this is definitely a spot we will keep in mind!

    Ordered Pad Thai hot but it had no heat at all. Ordered through eat24 on may 22. They never seem to get the spice right. The food is good but without the heat it's just not acceptable. I can understand the heat being to hot or not hot enough but to ask for it hot and you get it with no heat at all just ruins the whole dish I think I'm done with Stang.

    Thai decor with a trendy vibe. Although all the patrons were mostly not Thai, the fried rice and som Tum are pretty tasty with smoky aroma. Khaosoi is ok and creamy. A bit too sweet for me. It is a passable taste for the authentic foods and courteous service.

  • Angela Z.

    Food was great and flavorful - my friend and I split the chicken drunken noodles and chicken panang curry. I highly recommend the latter. The portion sizes were a little smaller than I expected for the price. The interior decorations are very in-theme and tastefully done, but I would recommend that if the restaurant has the budget, to remodel their bathroom. It was slightly dingy and just seemed out of place in such a nice establishment.

    Uhh.... my fiance and I drove 30 minutes from the County to try out what everyone's been raving about, but it was closed. At 8. On a Friday night. We called their number and no one answered. We had to trek back to the County to find something comparable to eat. We called again Saturday night to see if we could give it a second try, but we were told in broken English that the restaurant is closed indefinitely. We couldn't figure out why.... I hope it opens up again soon so we can give it a fair chance. I will update my review once we get to dine there.

    We became quickly accustomed to our server's, "Errr, uh-oh," face during our visit. The first grimace came our way right off the bat when we ordered our drinks and they were out of Singha. Ah geez, the ole gal loves an icy Singha with 'er hot n spicy Thai food. Sing it wit me, "Singha beer, don't ask no questions... Singha beer, don't tell no lies..." No Singha. I was a lil disappointment there, but persevered, as I do, besides, other beers exist, and Stang's big colorful mugs of Thai iced tea are quite enjoyable. Then we ordered pumpkin curry puffs. I don't even know why? Such an appetizer ain't even typically up in my regular repertoire anyway, but no dice! They were out of em, we learned, with a sad shake of the head, "Nope." Ah, whatever, right? Most probably it was a fortuitous move in our favor. We ordered up Laab gai instead, and it was tremendously good- like some of the best laab in years. I tell you. The ground chicken and toasted rice salad was tasty, upmost. There was just the right balance of fresh lime juice, fish sauce, hot chiles, red onion, bright cilantro, and sweet mint. It was nice and spicy, just as requested. Happy bout that. I may have smacked the table a time or two over it, in a, "hell yeah," kinda fashion. In the midst of all this enjoyment our poor server had to come over and break more bad news... The whole crispy fish in chile garlic sauce was a no-go. They were outta whole fish. Crestfallen! Look, my crest is falling off. Ahhhh boy... Forlorn. Forlorna Doone. Whole crispy fish, with fishy tail in tact and lil fishy face a-lookin right at me; it's just one of my favorite dishes to split. I love it so, possibly making a spectacle of ourselves, cleanin them bones like a cartoon alley cat. Thai preparation with hot and garlicky sweet chile and Thai basil is just one of my favorites in life. But no.We ordered red curry instead. Now maybe you're wondering, why with all this bitchin bout lost loves from the sea and blah, blah, blah, on and on: Why are you claiming to be a fan of Stangof Siam, ole thing? I'll answer you: Everything we did end up eating here was damn delicious. That's why. I don't know what was up with all the outages. It was a Monday night. Maybe they had a busy, busy, weekend and no deliveries or something? I couldn't tell you. I could not tell. I can tell you that we enjoyed the hell outta our meal. I already rambled about the Laab gai. The red curry turned out to be quite tasty, even though not our first choice that night. Now let's talk about the Drunken Noodle. The one dish that we did order and was no ish at all was really fantastic the night we were there. You know that thing where you order Drunken Noodles from some sub-par place and it arrives in some kinda over-cooked starchy, sticky, mounded mass of nonsense that requires you to peel each noodle from the pitiful clump with your chopsticks, one by one. That ridiculous mission? Hey, not here. Not here! Every noodle was perfectly cooked and coated just right in silky sauce, spiked with chiles and fresh basil, and plenty of chicken and vegetables and everything good. So that made me happy. Oh, also, I appreciate that when I asked for some prik nam pla, that fish sauce concoction with fresh Thai bird chiles a-floatin', I was presented with the full caddy of Thai condiments including the roasted chile powder, chile paste, etc... I always dig that move, as I am a fan of heat and heat related condiments. I like a little of this and a little of that, so that's all I'm sayin. Through the apologies, service was sweet and smiley in this pretty little place with purple walls. After all, we really enjoyed our dinner despite our hearts and stomachs being set on another plan. Another meal at Stang would be in my mind to return, the next time we might roll through town.

    Best thai food in the city, hands down! I love their green curry...so delicious! It's my go-to whenever I go there (or order for delivery!) The thai tea and mango sticky rice are great additions to a meal as well. The actual restaurant itself is really nice -- it's somewhere I would take my parents for a casual dinner. So it is a little pricey, on a student's budget, I'd say it's an occasional splurge. Definitely worth it though, I will DEFINITELY be back!

    My compadre was fancying thai and although I had eaten at Thai Landing, Ban thai and Thairish previously, I hit up my handy yelp app and looked to see if there was anything out there I hadn't been to yet. In my search I discovered Stang (which I had no idea was even there!). So I suggested she meet me there. 1stly, Stang is in a mostly residential area of Mt Vernon very close to UB so parking is somewhat nightmarish in the evening. I parked several blocks away and walked in but my friend was circling blocks for greater than 15 mins before I suggested the Calvert St. bridge for her to try for spots. After I found a spot and walked up, I walked in to find a bustling delicious-smelling warmly light converted row house. Looked welcoming, and then I stood....and stood.....and stood. Several wait staff looked directly at me in the entrance and turned and continued their actions. Finally, after 10 mins, I was seated. The menu had a hodgepodge of cocktails in the regular menu and on a mini specials menu that didn't seem particularly themed towards the cuisine but a number of champagne-based cocktails peaked my interest. However I found the same lackadaisical service once seated as I found waiting to be seated. So I again began my waiting for a drink to be even offered...and I kept waiting. Finally a person acknowledged me and left to bring my Kir Royale. However she returned a time later to tell me "no champagne". So I asked for a dirty vodka martini. When I actually received it, It was well made and delicious. But I had to wait another eternity. My friend arrived and we ordered. Spring rolls to start, Tom Kha Gai soup, Beef salad, and shrimp pad thai. Spring rolls were fried well, nice dipping sauce. Tom Kha Gai was creamy flavorful, chocked full of chicken. I only had a small piece of the beef salad but the flavors were spicy, meaty, satisfying. My entree, the shrimp pad thai, had large well cooked shrimp, a nice amount of veggies throughout, noodles were cooked correctly, good flavor. Unfortunately there is more to a place than the food. With 3 other Thai places in the area with comparable food, easier parking, consistency of availability for products and good service, I probably won't be back here.

    This place is super great, i LOVE the flavors of the curry. The panang curry is my favorite! The drunken noodles are also really good. Some weird things -- the Pad Se Ew is always bland w/ not enough sauce... then when I ask for extra sauce it's liek way too much. Also I have to say the prices are kinda expensive and the lunch special is not that cheap and for some reason you can only get like noodle dishes for lunch special? Idk strange. Either way though this place does some things really great

  • Brittany G.

    These guys get a 4.5 for quality of food but a 2 for customer service. The meal is always great. I really like the curry puffs, pad see ew, pad thai and pad eggplant with chicken. However, when a party of 2 asks to sit at an empty non reserved table, it is not appropriate to say, "No that is a 4 person table and bigger groups might come in later". Also, I have had them misunderstand my questions while ordering over the phone and mouth off on me. Since when should asking for the total cost, be met with "you know you are not our only customer, "...what?!? That response doesn't even make sense. In summary, the food is good...eat here if you can tolerate the potential for BS if not try Thai Landing on Charles. The food is not quite as good there but they are much more hospitable.

  • Sidney T.

    Food was pretty good, but the service sucked, so this is why they get 3 stars. I'm no legitimate Thai food connoisseur, but I enjoyed my meal because everything was fresh and flavorful. Basically, we waited forever for simple things like the check and drink refills. Plus, the waitress didn't even check on us. They really need to work on their customer service skills.

  • Francisco M.

    Very enjoyable meal. For appetizers we tried the chicken satay, the dumplings, and the mango salad- all were quite delicious. For the entrees we had the fried fish, fried duck, and the egg noodles with pork and egg. The fried duck was amazing and a little spicy. The $10 for some extra fried duck was totally worth it. We had the mango sticky rice for dessert and it was as good as those I have had anywhere else. Loved it. Will definitely be back.

    We used a groupon which made for an affordable date night. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The pad Thai was fantastic and the portion size was more than enough for tomorrow's lunch leftovers. Really the food was amazing and I would return, but the one little stickler was the bugs. We started our meal outside and I got bit three times, so we moved inside. Even inside there were a ton of fruit flies around the table. Other than that- very impressed!

    The service was so horrible I can't even review on the food. Dinner took two hours. And not an enjoyable two hours. We sat for 15 minutes before someone came over to us. Then the interaction was very curt and transactional. Mind you, we had a groupon, but I would think there would still be a level of customer service. At the end we waited for another 15 to 20 minutes wanting to leave, but no one came to us. I even stood up and stood there for a few minutes trying to get someone's attention. We ended up leaving $20 on the table to cover tax and tip. After we were outside someone ran down the street saying we had to pay. First, the tax we owed was like $3. We told her that we left money on the table. I certainly regret the tip.

    "In a town of blind people, a one eyed man is king." Went to Stang on a Friday around 9 for dinner with my dad. Got chicken satay and curry puffs, puffs were good would recommend. Satay was very bland and texture was off. Dad got basil fried rice, rice was a little crunchy but the flavor was excellent. I got Pad Thai, a bit sweet and saucy for my tastes and no vegetables or eggs to be seen. The weirdest thing was every single plate we were served on was wet and cold. How do plates get wet and cold? Overall, best Thai in Baltimore so far, but haven't found any Thai in Baltimore that impressed me yet.

  • Virginia B.

    Really wanted to love this place. I ordered the Pad Thai and before i even took a bite the fish oil smell was overwhelming. The part that prompted me to write a review though was our poor service. Our waitress took our order and dropped off our food. Those were the only two times we saw her. We were never given napkins, utensils, or more water. All in all it was a really poor experience. I wonder if it's because we had a Groupon. The waitress just seemed like she couldn't be bothered.

  • Josh G.

    I went here for dinner at the suggestion of a friend. We started with the curry puffs which were a bit unconventional but fine and had a good dipping sauce of some variety. My friend ordered the drunken noodles and seemed to enjoy them. I went with a classic, Pad Thai and didn't remotely enjoy it. The noodle consistency was not very appealing and the sauce was not to my liking. I endured and ate a few bites so as not to draw attention to myself. They cleared our plates, mine with basically the entire entrée on it and then another staff member came over to see if it I had liked it or wanted something else. I wasn't really sure what was being offered and I didn't really want to order anything after my friend had already eaten, so I said I was fine, but I guess it was nice that they asked, even if the timing was poor. Anyway, I probably wouldn't return, the food was nothing special and the service was about the same.

    I have dined at Stang four or five times over the years and the food never disappoints. Service had been spotty in the past but seems to have improved Food is served in an intimate setting and portions are generous. On our visit this past Saturday we had the Stang Noodles, Vegetarian Drunken Noodles, Penang Tofu and Chicken Pad See Eew. All the dishes had great, fresh flavors and just the right amount of heat. We took home leftovers which were just as good the next day. I think this is one of Bmore's best Thai joints. Sweet basil and chili paste Compliment noodles You look good enought to eat

    Pad Thai with shrimp! I normally do not like pad Thai and it's not a dish I order when I go to a Thai restaurant. However, sang of siam's pad Thai is absolutely amazing. Shrimp is perfectly cooked and the sauce is to die for! Wish I lived in Baltimore still so I can go get my fix of pad Thai.

  • Greg S.

    I've been to dozens of Thai restaurants and so often end up dismayed by the quality of the food, despite all external signs suggesting that it would be authentic and, most importantly, spicy! Thankfully, in addition to having a great location and atmosphere, Stang of Siam didn't disappoint in either regard. We went with a party of three and were seated in the upstairs balcony area, which has a pleasant view and diminishes some of the ambient noise from conversations below. I ended up ordering a green papaya salad (a personal favorite) with shrimp. My dinner companions went with a panang curry and a green curry, both with "seafood," which comprised shrimp, scallops, squid, and mussels. The papaya salad was great--well dressed, not overly sweet, and appropriately spicy. The shrimp had been deliciously charred on the grill. Unfortunately, there were only two of them and they weren't enormous, which is really my only complaint for the entire meal. Both curries were delicious as well, and everyone was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and abundance of the seafood elements. I'd highly recommend giving this place a try if you enjoy Thai cuisine. I'll certainly be returning to try more of their dishes.

    Very good food. Service was good also, I had the drunken noodles with shrimp, felt kind of skimped on shrimp, i only had 5,not sure what happened to the rest od the shrimp, but it was very spicy and flavorful.My friend had the pineapple fried rice with shrimp. The presentation was nice, it came in a pineapple, i feel like she may have had the rest of my shrimp. lol. Drinks were pretty good. Also had the shrimp appetizer. I would return to try the red chili curry, another table had it and it looked interesting.

    Drunken noodle is so amazing. Gang Ped Yang is also my favorite dish. It has lichee inside which is so delicious. Most of the food here are supposed to eat at the restaurant. Its taste better when it is fresh and hot. The bad side of the restaurant is sometime it was very crowded, so I had to wait so long. However, according to a good food so 5 stars.

  • Jayanta M.

    Time of visit: Multiple times Price: Moderate Portion Size: Moderate-to-Large Decor: Traditional Thai Food profile: Traditional Thai with occasional use of western ingredients (e.g., drunken noodles with salmon ) Service: Friendly Food wait time: 15 minutes Food quality: Very good If you like Thai food this is the place you need to visit. The service is friendly and the food is just awesome. Their seating area is not very spacious, so if you are planning to visit during busy hours try to call them and reserve. They have outside seating but only for summer/spring/fall weather. If you are a fan of Indian samosa, try their curry puffs. Make sure to try their soups, drunken noodles, fried rice, curries and pad thai. Apart from their food, I liked their colorful bowls/plates and the wooden menu card.

    (Delivery Review) Tonight, I didn't feel like cooking but I wanted something spicy, hearty, and asian. Missing my best friend's mom's cooking I had to get Thai. I was browsing through yelp and I have came across this place multiple times. So I gave it a shot. I wrote that I wanted my food very spicy, like I want to cry on my first bite. Also, I wanted to try someone new since I also felt adventurous. I got two dishes, Drukken Noodles with chicken and Pad Gra Prao with chicken (I really love chicken). I asked the drukken noodles to be really spicy and Pad Gra Prao to be hot. First when I ordered it said I would get it in 75-90 minutes. I was surprised I got food 30 minutes later. I was super excited cause I also got fried eggs to go with my spicy dishes (I really like eggs too), but under first impression of the food I was confused. I always have druken noodles and pad gra prao with ground chicken. Here I saw chicken slices. I also didn't smell the nice aroma of thick basil like I hoped. There were also tomatoes which made me cringe since the food looked completely different. What really threw me off was that there weren't Thai Green Chilli Peppers cut up into little circles, it was what looked like pepper seed you put on your pizza. NEVERTHLESS! I ate and tried the food. It wasn't what I expected, the flavors seemed more Americanized but I did have a runny nose and tears come out of my eyes. I preferred the Pad Gra Prao over the druken noodles but they definitely understood what I meant by really spicy. Yet, the food didn't look like my best friend's mom's home cooked meals nor did it taste close. I guess I'll have to wait till thanksgiving to have some authentic thai again but this place good. They have a nice twist to what I am used to and maybe the chef is someone from a different area, but I can say that it was nice to not cook still.

    I have ordered from here so many times. I really love their food. However the better piece of Stang of Siam is the service. It's ALWAYS with a smile and a humble approach that makes you appreciate the food that much more. I will continue to come here for Thai food as often as I can!!

    Went there twice for lunch in one month had the same thing, drunken noodle seafood is super delicious. The dish were very well prepared, they use fresh ingredients, and impressive presentation. Nice attentive staff, we told them we were on our lunch break and don't have much time and they were very accommodating. In and out in 45 minutes.

    3 1/2* Service is pretty scattered and slow, but friendly. The decor is lovely, I was a fan of the huge wooden piece on the wall. Papaya Salad - not exactly like what I've had in Thailand. It needed more lime and more spice. Red curry w/tofu - this was slightly sweet but still spicy and pretty good. Would have loved some more tofu and wish I had the option for brown rice instead of white. Veggie drunken noodles - hubby said the noodle to veggies ratio was way off. The dish needed more noodles!

    Excellent drunken noodle! Much better than Thai Arroy in Federal Hill. This dish gets a 4.5/5. Girlfriend thought the Larb Gai was good. She would give it a 3.5/5. According to her it is on par with that of Thai Arroy. The Tom Yum Goong soup was not that great. It gets a 2.5/5. We ordered carry out. The inside of the restaurant is very nice. They try to be a little fancy. Entrees average around $13. So far its some of the best Thai I've found in Baltimore.

    Vegetarians & vegans rejoice!! They offer egg free options in their noodle dishes to make them vegan. Their vegetables always taste fresh (sometimes a little crunchy, but who cares?) The pumpkin curry puffs are delicate and delicious! The veggie pad see ew is SO good. The curries are delicious. If you can't have soy, you can ask for a veggie option instead of tofu as your protein. The inside is pretty & quiet. The staff are friendly and they deliver!!

    This was a massive disappointment! I normally trust 4 and 5 star reviews, which is why I tried this restaurant in the first place. Anyway, the calamari appetizer was very salty, the drunken noodles were way too greasy, the food that my friend ordered had undercooked eggplant. I've had way better food at less expensive Thai restaurants!!! The food came almost an hour later and they came AFTER the two customers who were seated after us got their food! 1 star for great ambiance and good cocktails, but 1 star will not bring me back to this place. Thai Landing a couple blocks away is slightly better, though not much.

    It was hard for me to decide how many stars to give this place. The food is really good -- I've had the green curry (highly recommend), drunken noodles, garden vegetable rolls, and mango sticky rice (not always available, depends on whether mangos are in season). But their delivery service is atrocious, as other reviewers have mentioned. If you order delivery, expect to wait 1.5 to 2 hours before getting your food (even on a weeknight). The delivery guy told me that the best time to order is between 5 and 7pm so maybe that will help next time if I'm craving Thai food badly enough to try delivery again. It's best to dine in the restaurant and avoid the delivery altogether.

    (8/12/2014) Got a take-out order during a torrential downpour, saved my day. Really enjoyed the spicy heat from the Drunken Noodles, although they were oddly too sweet. Thick fat rice noodles were decently squishy (as they should be). Duck Salad was probably a poor choice for take-out (my bad), deep-fried coating was soggy when I finally got around to eating, but strong, pungent, dressing (lots of ginger, onions, cilantro, lime juice). Tod Mun Goong (shrimp cakes) were crispy on the outside and moist tender inside, significant amount of some kind of filler, some shrimp chunks, pleasantly spiced. Pricey for a lunch deal (cheap lunch specials only available for dine-in), but I really enjoyed the food (had leftovers for the next day, too).

  • Frank S.

    Everything I've eaten here is top-notch. They offer a vegan version of many of the regular dishes (just replacing the meat with tofu, and be sure to order the Pad Thai without egg) and all have really impressed: fresh, flavorful, and prepared quickly. The prices are fair and the staff is friendly. The Basil Fried Rice Veggie, Pad Thai Veggie (without egg), and Drunken Noodle Veggie are some of our favorites. The location is quite convenient if you live in Mt. Vernon, and if you don't there's plenty of parking in the neighborhood.

    *Note: This is a review on ordering take out.* I ordered delivery, pumpkin curry puffs, mango sticky rice and steamed vegetables. It took about 45 minutes to deliver. There was a mistake with my order, I received regular curry puffs not pumpkin curry puffs. I disregarded it anyways since the restaurant already closed. The curry puffs were pretty good, still heated when it arrived. The mango sticky rice I had anticipated the most for since everyone on yelp raved about it. However I was disappointed. The mangos weren't as ripe and the sticky rice was a bit hard.. The coconut sauce was good though. The steamed vegetables were kind of bland. Not sure if I would actually come here to dine...

    We go here all the time and just for the food. Their Chicken red curry and Pad Gra Pao are especially amazing and I crave them ever so often. I also highly recommend the Tom Yum Goong soup for those who don't mind a lil sourness. So good! The drunken noodles on the other hand seem quite oily and so does the Pad Thai. The only con to Stang of Siam is the service, if you are unlucky you could get a server who may not fully understand what you are saying. Language does seem a barrier. We'd asked a female server to get us 1 soup and 2 bowls so we could split it and we got 2 soups in 1 bowl!! The funny thing is we didn't even realize it till we got the bill. Given how good the food is, we didn't really mind and did end up over eating because we had also ordered entrees.

    I ordered online, for delivery, at 7:30. Food arrived at 9:30pm. Good thing I wasn't THAT hungry... Maybe they were busy, but two hours is excessive regardless. (I live a mile away.) Not surprisingly, the food tasted like it had been sitting in a car for awhile and was obviously cold. Pad thai noodles were so overcooked by the time my food arrived, had to eat it with a spoon. The pad thai was too sweet. I had ordered it extra spicy; request denied. Fried rice had turned into a brick of rice. Flavor was nothing special and extra spice request also denied. Last dish we ordered was the Beef of Siam... Meh. Again, nothing special. I was expecting more than just one stalk of asparagus. My first experience with Stang of Siam... and probably my last. Unless I am really really really desperate. And even then, I don't think I'd risk a two hour wait for delivery.

  • Boss M.

    Def coming back here. Me & a buddy went Anthony Bourdain and tried a bit of everything. Haha well almost. First we started off with the Kanom Jeeb (dumplings) as an app. Very good and we have never ate any dumplings like these. Then we moved to Drunken Noodles w/ Chicken. Spicy & delicious no doubt! Also ordered the Stang Eggplant w/ beef. Again spicy and delicious. We were impressed at this point. Here is where I usually order a curry dish. But after a collaboration of ideas what to try next we both concurred that we'd go with the Roasted Duck & Pineapple Fried Rice. Haha like I said we went A.Bourdain on this place. Both dishes was amazing. The fried rice had HUGE shrimp in it with cashews and pineapple served in a pineapple bowl. Impressive and a must try even if it's a side dish. It's huge. Don't sleep on the duck either. Enjoy Stang of Siam!

    We will not order from this business again. Before I delve any further, I am leaving this review completely based on a delivery service and have never personally had a dinner service at this restaurant. Recently, my SO had ordered delivery from this restaurant using their online service. Our order arrived 20 minutes late (keep in mind, the delivery time was supposed to be 90 minutes which seemed very long in the first place considering we placed this order at 5:30 PM on an off night). When the driver arrived with the food, he decided to shake down my SO for a larger tip than the tip he received. He went so far as to comment on how my SO obviously looked like he made good money and should pay him at least a 20% tip. When my SO refused to be guilted into giving him more money, the driver angrily told him that we would never get any additional extra items from this restaurant again. This seemed very puzzling as we never have gotten any free things from them in the first place. The entire exchange was very unprofessional and no one should ever be bullied into paying some one a larger tip for bad service.

    Honestly, I wasn't expecting much since I thought I already knew where the best Thai place was back in California. But I was wrong. This place is probably one of the best Thai places on the East Coast. But I haven't been to any other Thai places over here to compare so take my words as you will. The place is beautifully decorated and ambience was a nice, low key, semi romantic setting if you're looking to bring a date here. The menus came in these wood panel type enclosures that you open up. I wasn't expecting much from the food since the decor was so nice but the food here was absolutely delicious and authentic as it gets. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the options, especially the vegetarian dishes. Don't leave without trying the mango sticky rice dessert.

  • Emma W.

    This is a nice option for non-divey Thai food. Their curries, pad thai and drunken noodles are wonderful. They're generous with fresh vegetables and the sauces are very well done - none of the mysterious brown flavor that so much bad Asian American food has... What is that? The space is almost wonderful. I think this place can't quite decide if it's a bar that serves Thai food or an upscale Thai restaurant. The chairs are crazy uncomfortable and the floor is a little overcrowded with not-quite-large-enough tables. It's a little pricey but the portions are generous. I definitely recommend this place for a nice dinner out and some tasty leftovers.

  • Jason F.

    Easily the best Thai place in Baltimore. Nice decor and a casual/classy atmosphere. I have been 2x now to Stang of Siam and have tried their soups, beef salad, curry puffs, pad thai, drunken noodles, one of their veggie rice dishes, and mango sticky rice. Their soups are all delicious and they have the best Thai iced tea. The beef salad is ok (elephant wok's is better) and the curry puffs are excellent, but no better than elephant wok. All of their entrees that I have eaten have blown away the local Thai competition. The mango sticky rice is good, but I like Thai Arroy's better. Stang of Siam is the gold standard of Thai food in Baltimore and is located close to bus stops if you want to avoid a potential parking headache. Elephant wok is a close 2nd and Thai Arroy would follow that. Don't waste your time with Thai Yum.

    Ok, so now I'm beginning to think my last rating wasn't fair. There is one server here that has always been pleasant. I believe his name is Jack. Bad service just always seems to leave a bad taste in my mouth but he makes the atmosphere in the restaurant nicer. Cheers to Jack

  • Claire Z.

    Mm, just OK. Really mediocre. Worst part about this place is the service. The first time I came there was chicken in my friend's vegetarian dish and they first tried to deny it, and then finally gave him a veggie-only dish (and no comp on food in case you were wondering). I came a second time to give this place another chance and my boyfriend and I were ignored for the first 10 minutes and we were awkwardly standing in the doorway. Finally I went up to the counter and it was like they finally noticed that we were there. They told us it was at least a 30 minute wait and we left. Never been back again and no inclination to give it another try!

    This is a review for an order I placed online. I ordered it for 7:45pm. At 8:10pm I called the restaurant. They said "I'm sorry, we are a full house, we are busy." My order finally arrived at 8:30pm. I ordered Pad See Ew...this was the most overcooked Thai dish I have ever had. It was seriously one of the worst noodle dishes I have had thrle displeasure of eating. Looks like the food in the restaurant is actually decent, it's just a shame that their delivery system sucks.

    We have been here many times and have always been very happy with our meal. Tonight we ordered delivery for the first time and we're very pleased with the delivery time, temperature of the food, and the packaging. Very good restaurant for good Thai food. Delivery did not disappoint.

  • M K.

    I live not too far from this restaurant, so I've been here on several occasions. Overall, the food is pretty good. I really love their pad see ew and the drunken noodle. I also have enjoyed their Khao Soi and they tasted just like the ones I've had in Thailand. One qualm I have about the place is the cost. Each dish is typically between $12-15, which is a little too steep for thai food. Otherwise, I'd go back pretty frequently.

    After not going here for a while after a bad service experience a few times at lunch, I gave it another shot at dinner and things improved dramatically. This is the best Thai food in Mount Vernon, hands down. It's cute inside and the pad-si-ew is some of the best I've had. My favorite will always be from a hole-in-the-wall shop in Silver Spring, but this place gives it a run for its money. It's well decorated inside, has a full bar, and had a wide selection on the menu. My boyfriend usually gets a curry and it's great! I am more of a noodle person though and their pad thai and si-ew is SOLID.

  • Tom V.

    Really nothing special and certainly not worthy of the rave Yelp reviews. We walked in and were seated. It took a good 10 minutes for the waitress to take our order. She took the order of people who had came in after us first. The "Daily Specials" menu looked like something you would see at a Dennys or an IHOP. The food came out fast, which we appreciated because we were both starving. We were clearly sharing our appetizer yet small plates weren't provided and neither were chopsticks. I hate eating with a fork and knife at an Asian restaurant I feel like it deducts from the fun of it. The appetizer was pretty good, nothing great. I got the Drunken Noodles and they were really good. The prices were very good as well. We ordered dessert and it was nothing special. I got coffee and it was some of the worst coffee I had ever had, it had a tangy flavor to it which I couldn't get over. Overall a very mixed experience. Positives: Cheap, Decent Food, Easy Negatives: Spotty service, tacky decor and menus, limited dessert menu, hit or miss food items.

    Now that I live in Midtown, I get food from Stang of Siam on average once/week. This is mostly because it is the closest restaurant to my apartment and I am incredibly lazy, but it's also pretty tasty. The *only* noodle dish that is/can be made gluten-free is the Pad Thai. I've asked about other rice noodle dishes several times just in case one server knew more than another, and this has always been their response. I also usually get the Tom Yum Goong soup (Lemongrass soup w/ Shrimp), which is generally good but very inconsistent with flavor and spice level. Last time I went I got the 'Yum Talay' glass noodle w/ seafood salad, and I really enjoyed it! They ambiance is nice, but on the down side, service is slow (for both dine-in and take-out) and just kind of odd...hard to explain.

  • Kevin K.

    Ambience: Cavernous spot, odd combo of paint and dark wood in the long dining room. High ceilings make it too spacious--prefer the feel at Thai Arroy. Service: Standard, curt but satisfactory. Drinks: BYOB Spring rolls - Thai Yum's are still the best. They can get soggy but best in city when fresh. Stang's never got soggy, just less flavor and not nearly the incorporation of the greens or mushrooms that Yum's shows. Chicken panang curry - decent flavor, not as good as thalay thai's was but not as watery as thai arroy's is (their regular curry is better though). Fewer vegetables and lower spice though, a few broccoli swimming in a murky yellow soup. Drunken Noodles - the highlight. Thai Arroy's get mushy and aren't spicy. These are perfect, the meat prevalent despite the intricate spice and heat. Onions are more incorporated than I've seen in Drunken Noodles.

    I've been dining in and ordering food from Stang for a few years now. In the last year the service and quality of food has been on the decline. My orders are frequently incorrect, veggies are usually raw and the staff is pretty snarky and unwilling to help. Tonight we were overcharged by about $5 after being served food that we barely touched. (It was really gross) It's unfortunate, because this place used to be great. On the plus side, it seems like the kitchen is at least still capable of dropping pre made appetizers in the fryer and taking them out before they burn. Thanks y'all.

    The restaurant is located on a street corner in mt vernon and has a temple like atmosphere inside. Parking is hard to come by at certain times. The drunken noodles with pork/beef - I loved it. I'm not a huge fan of spicy food so I chose the mild version. The licorice-flavored basil leaves with juicy tomatoes and crunchy peppers worked incredibly well in the garlicy sauce. This is definitely one of their signature dishes loaded with whatever meat/seafood you choose. Pad Prig King - string beans in chili sauce with sauteed chicken. The dish was good but nothing earth-shattering. Overall, a solid thai restaurant in the baltimore area. I have to try some other dishes, but the drunken noodles will definitely lure me back.

  • Yunlong L.

    The food is OK. The bad thing I experienced is I ordered a lunch special to go but they only have lunch special prices for dining in only. That is the most stupid thing I heard. I have to pay a dinner price for a to go lunch special. I strongly recommend Thai-landing ,which serves equivalent food and is very closed to Stang of Siam. Their service is really good.

  • Katie B.

    I was asked last night what i'd like to do today since we both had (most of) the day off. Figured since I had a morning "engagement", we'd at least do lunch, and for some reason, I wanted Thai. And hey, if some one is inviting me out, and picking up the tab, THANK YOU! Now, keep something else in mind: We are geeks who love walking around the city. And I am so fascinated by this "business/restaurant/bar inside a former row'home' ", so I was intensely enamored with the interior here. If you too love this kind of thing... check out how they've made a 70's style split level concept into something awesome. The food was fan-tab-ulous! We had lunch there. We both ordered the Thai Iced tea, which was very yummy and those mugs are pretty cool, too. Before our food order was taken, we were presented a small plate with a relatively unremarkable portion of very basic salad, but it was accompanied by a little fritter that I can't immediately describe, but it was really tasty. (slightly on the still oily side, but really yummy anyway. :) ) I ordered a lunch special, with Thai Eggplant. It had 2 little orange peppers denoting heat level, and wimp that i am, it did truly build by the time I had eaten all I could. Did I mention that even lunch portions are huge? My partner had panang (?) tofu, which had a creamy coconut curry sauce with a ton of broccoli and rice. Again, really really yummy. The saddest part was the fact that since we were out and about for the day, we had no way to effectively box up our leftovers and take them with us. I suspect that this is the type of stuff great leftovers are made of!

    Garb Lai salad tastes like dog. They forgot the jasmine rice completely. Asked for soy sauce: none. Pad Thai was not spicy AT ALL even though we specified medium spice. For $36 we ended up with bad Pad Thai and some spring rolls. Wtf.

  • Rags B.

    This was some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced and that's coming from a low-maintenance customer. It was a group of 4 of us and we were feeling cold from the A/C so we told the server that we were moving to another table. She didn't object to it but the owner or manager wasn't happy as evidenced by look on her face (this, after yelling at someone a few minutes earlier). Our food then took a long time to reach us and yet it was cold. We had to get our plates and utensils from our other table, which they never bothered to help us on. And then, when we pointed out these things, the owner or manager got defensive rather than apologize, saying that she was busy with other things. So, we left a 10% tip rather than our customary 20-25% tip. The server called us out on it, saying that we should leave at least 15% and thinking it was a mistake. We said it was on purpose. The owner/manager told us to not come back. That's fine by us; there are other Thai restaurants with excellent and HOT food that we'll be happy to patronize. Recommend you do the same.

  • Shante H.

    The food was soooo good. They gave nice size portions and almost everyone in our party couldn't clean their plate as hungry as we were. I ordered calamari as my appetizer and shared it with the table. Some loved it, but I didn't like that they were these huge thick rings that weren't tender. Calamari is supposed to be easy to eat and I felt like I just chewing and chewing with every ring. For my entree I got the Chicken Pad Thai with extra peanuts. It wasn't the best I had, but it came in a close second. I think if there were more tofu pieces it would've taken the number one spot. I have to agree with a review that I read that stated that the food was good, but the service doesn't measure up to the food. Although I made a dinner reservation for a large party before lunch, our table wasn't ready when we arrived. And when they originally seated us there wasn't enough room for everyone. They eventually moved us, but now we're the first thing you see when you walk in. And it didn't help that we were a boisterous group making it hard for the other patrons to hear one another. Beware: The reviews says that it's good for groups, but they only cut the check 7 ways unless you have a negotiator with you (like us). Call closer to the time plan to eat to make sure that they have the space for you too.

  • Mandy P.

    I have been coming here for some time since the food is good. I have had one of the worst service experiences with friends last night. The older lady who served us was extremely rude and rushed us out. FYI the kitchen apparently closes at 9:30, not 10 p.m. as advertised. They will come to your table at 9:25 after you order drinks and apps to tell you there is 5 minutes to order entrees. Then they will put the bill on the table in the middle of your dinner and make loud noises as they clean up around you.Maybe she was just having a bad night?

    We were so excited to eat here having heard such wonderful reviews of the food. Sadly, the service was extremely slow and not very friendly- others came in and were served before us in fact. It took more than 30 minutes to even get two glasses of water. Sad, and we won't be back!

    I've lived in Mount Vernon for over a year and half, and JUST discovered this place a couple of months ago. I wish I knew about it sooner because I always had to satisfy my thai curry cravings at Thai Landing. Stang of Siam is definitely one of the best places in Baltimore for Thai food. I LOVE their drunken noodles. The best thing about this dish is the abundance of vegetables in it. They put more vegetables than noodles into this dish, and the veggies are crisp and crunchy and not overcooked mush. It's great. More recently, I tried their spicy basil fried rice and their panang curry - both were delicious. I'm craving some of that incredible panang curry right now. It's good thai food... definitely worth a try! Who knows... you may fall madly in love with the food like I did!

    This place was so much better than I expected. We chose it for its convenience. I found a parking spot (free) right outside of the restaurant door (def a +.5 of a star for that). I ordered the drunken seafood noodles. There was way more seafood than the price dictated. Service was a tad slow, one server for the entire room, but the food quality was off the charts. So, moral of the review is, come in here with mediocre expectations, and you may be pleasantly surprised.

    Went there for lunch. Asked waitress to recommend something not too sweet. She recommended several items, one of which was Stang Noodles. Picked that. Food was not bad but something was still lacking. The noodles were still somewhat sweet. Had asked spice level to be medium but in my experience it was very high (I eat east and south asian food regularly so my spice tolerance is pretty decent). Portion was huge and the seafood was quite good. I really wanted dessert afterwards but they didn't have any. Overall a good to ok thai place.

    This is an excellent Thai restaurant with charming decorations, a warm atmosphere and terrific curry and noodle dishes. In my opinion it's nearly as good as the best Thai places in Queens, NY and better than many of Manhattan's Thai restaurants. My only criticism is the straight backed chairs which my wife and I found uncomfortable.

  • Robby B.

    Stang of Siam was a treat. Solid food. Service wasn't spot on but we still had a great time. Ambiance was nice, with some cool statues. The painted wooden menus were nice as well. There was a TV at the bar with sports on, which I feel took away from the vibe a bit, but what do I know? I wanted a nice hoppy, bitter beer because I think they go so well with spicy thai food, but they only had boring mainstream beers (Call me a beer snob. I dare you!). They had a cool selection of specialty mixed drinks for 9 or 10 dollars each, but I didn't try any. We started off with the fried calamari ($7). It had super crunchy breading that was borderline too much. The calamari itself was slightly rubbery and they didn't include any legs. The accompanying sauce was great. Tangy (orange?) taste and it also had tons of chopped peanuts in it. The whole group shared 4 dishes. The chicken panang curry ($12) was good, but not great. It was very coconutty and sweet, which I liked. It became a little cloying over time though. There wasn't much chicken or veggies actually. Maybe worse, there wasn't enough rice for all the good curry goopiness. Additional bowls of rice were apparently $2 each. Not cool. Chicken basil fried rice ($12 I think) was very good. Not mushy like from a crappy takeout place, but still moist. Basil flavor and spice on top were very apparent. We ordered pork, but chicken was served. Whatever, the rice was the star of the show. Stang Noodles ($17) were awesome. Noodles were nice and spicy, but overly not so-- which is good for those who can't handle super spice (like me). There was a lot of good seafood: scallops, shrimp, and mussels. and squid. Scallops and squid were especially good. Tasty crisp veggies as well including red pepper and green beans. Beef pad see ew was pretty good ($12). It was sweet and had strong flavors. There was a slightly fishy aftertaste. The beef was simple and not great, but the noodles were tender and tasty. A few service gaffs: I hope it was a fluke, but my appetizer plate was not fully cleaned. Also, our waiter didn't bring chili sauces like we requested until much later into the meal. We were almost finished so it was kind of a waste. Sometimes our waiter was hard to track down. Otherwise, the food came out quickly and the staff was friendly. Prices were great considering portion size and quality of the food. I'll be back. I really want to try one of their spicier curries, maybe red or green and their lunch special.
