01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
A quick climb up to the 2nd floor of a building near Nakameguro Station leads into a space evoking the vibrant, casual feel of a local eatery in Thailand. Krung Siam offers a broad spectrum of Thai cooking balancing spicy, sour, sweet, and herbal profiles. A house favorite is thale phat phong kari, where mixed seafood is enveloped in a fragrant spice curry finished with fluffy beaten egg. Guests can also opt for phu nim phat phong kari, prepared with tender soft-shell crab that can be eaten entirely whole, creating a rich sauce that calls for white rice.
From Stir-Fries to Broth Noodles
For direct heat, the minced chicken stir-fried with holy basil—gapao rice—remains a reliable pick. Breaking into the soft-yolked fried egg tempers the fiery seasoning with rich creaminess, keeping each bite satisfying. Those seeking a gentler meal can turn to sen lek nam, medium rice noodles served in a clean, clear chicken-bone broth, or pad thai tossed with sweet-tangy tamarind accents. During the daytime, value lunch sets come accompanied by fresh spring rolls and soup, delivering a fulfilling everyday meal served at an efficient pace.
Relaxed Evenings with Small Plates and Asian Drinks
As dusk sets in, the dining room transitions naturally into drinks and snacks. Diners gather over Thai beers such as Singha, Chang, and Leo or original cocktails alongside crisp shrimp toast and grilled pork jowl (kor moo yang). Whether sharing multi-course banquet menus with a group or stopping by solo for a quiet meal, the venue adapts comfortably to many dining styles.
