Hilo Siam Thai Restaurant

We were near Hilo in the afternoon and were interested in eating Thai for lunch as we ran of options. Hilo Siam was a nearby and highly rated restaurant which we found on Google and so we went there for lunch along with my family. We ordered Tofu basil fried rice, Chicken Basil fried rice and Chicken Pad Thai and the level of spice was hot which was way more than hot we find in other Thai food places but the food was yummy, portion size was good enough.

Tried this place while visiting Hilo and it’s fantastic! Small but fantastic food. We had the mixed seafood Tom yum dry, the Thai garlic shrimp, panang curry, shrimp fried rice, and pad Thai. Everything was amazing, and oh my god the prices were so affordable. The only downside is the shop does have a bit of a smell to it, which some might have a hard time with before the food comes in. But otherwise, 10/10 rating experience.

Each dish is made fresh to order and looks great, I saw every plate come out of the kitchen and wanted to try each one. I had mild garlic chicken and mild basil pork, both were tasty with just the right amount of heat. Dishes are affordable. The menu is huge and they even have specials under $12. The dining area is fairly spacious, booths on the edges with a few movable tables in the center, able to accommodate small groups. There was one man running the front. He is sufficient but not very pleasant. Overall this place is a good spot for Thai food.
