The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
Thai Siam's unprepossessing exterior in trendy Finnieston disguises a warm and relaxing interior with a neutral colour scheme and Buddha artworks bedecking the walls. The Thai staff maintain a healthy banter with customers, while the cuisine is adapted a little to suit the Glasgow palate meaning it doesn't pile on the heat but the dishes are rife with fragrance of lemongrass and lime and served in generous portions. A starter of gai hor bai toey is a fragrant chicken breast wrapped and steamed in padana leaves a pleasant blend of flavours enhanced by sweet tamarind dip. From the mains, whole chargrilled sea bass is served in a foil parcel fizzing in its own juices with peppers and a lively tomato sauce – it's light and juicy with a perky chilli afterglow. The green curry is among the best in town. Fresh ingredients and energetic cooking are hallmarks of this enticing restaurant.

Very annoyed when I arrived at the restaurant with my mum who is in a wheelchair. There was barely enough space to actually get in to the restaurant, which I did think on the whole was cramped, and there was a pillar completely blocking the way to the toilet. This restaurant is misrepresenting itself when it states that it has wheelchair access. Only stayed because it was late and cold outside and we may have struggled to get somewhere else at that time on a Saturday night. Won't return

Just read the main review above and have to say it does not do the place justice. Ok, it would not win any design awards but as quite a dedicated couple when it comes to eating out we have found this place to be the best place for consistantly good Thai food in Glasgow.
I would say if you have not been befor you should really give this place a go.

Absolutely cracking restaurant. Easily one of the best places in Glasgow for food, comfort and service. The Yum Gai is fantastic. Highly recommended by just about everyone I know who has eaten there. Can be a little quiet early on - but definitely worth it for the good value pre-theatre menu. Top marks.

Having spent quite a bit of time in Thailand, this place gets my stamp of approval. The Tom Kha Gai is amazing. It can get a bit crowded but great service and great food make up for it. It stands head and shoulders above any of the other Thai restaurants in Glasgow.
