One lazy Sunday evening when Cole had a craving for Thai food, we decided to head to Makati to try out this unassuming Thai restaurant restaurant along Jupiter Street. But instead of ordering the usual fares such as Pad Thai and Tom Yum, we wanted to explore more of the Thai cuisine.
I can safely say that this is by far, the most authentic Thai restaurant in Manila. Fast becoming one of my go-to restaurants for my Thai cravings.
3.7 for this restaurant does not do it justice. Probably the only truly authentic Thai restaurant in Makati and one of the few in the entire country. The stewed pork leg is a must! This is what Thai food is all about, not just curries, pad thai and tom yum. They are moving to S Maison soon.
We were happy to discover this place after missing BKK so badly. Siamaroi is a little piece of BKK in Makati. It reminds us of our favorite restaurant in Langsuan (Madame Langsuan, formerly Madame Krok --- if you're ever in BKK near Portico in Langsuan Rd. you have to try them. You must.) Everything we ate was spot on. KaoKlupKappi, Nam Tok Moo (w/c Chef Nun customized to add vermicelli), Thai Basil Chicken, Crab fried rice, SomTum, and Chrysanthemum Tea. I would've wanted to try everything on the menu but will definitely come back another day.
Update: back another day and we got to try the Massaman Chicken Curry, Khor Moo Yaang, Yum Pak Bung Grop, Blue Boy Hale (super fun! My favorite item of the night), and more KaoKlupKappi, Som Tum and NamTok.
The joint is being run by a Thai husband and wife team, Chef Nun and wife Passon. We chatted them up in English interspersed with broken (and funny sounding) Thai. Staying here was a delight.
A hole-in-the-wall Thai place that rivals the best in the metro! Good tasting dishes from appetizer to mains to desserts and drinks prepared by a Thai cook at that!

As soon as we walked inside, we felt like we were transported to a Thai styled carinderia of some sort as the place felt so simple and cozy. We were immediately greeted by the owners, a Thai husband and wife, and they immediately made us feel welcomed with their inviting smiles and kindness.
With our group of 5, we decided to all get different items to try out as much as we could from their menu. Our orders consisted of Thai Bagoong Rice, Roasted Pork Neck, Tom Yum Kung, Pad Thai, Spicy Pork Salad, Morning Glory and the Thai Egg Custard in Pumpkin for dessert. My personal order from the group was the Spicy Pork Salad. When I put in my order, the Thai Manang eyes lit up and asked me if I wanted it spicy, or in her words “Thai Spicy". I laughed, with a bit of fear, and said “Filipino level spicy, please”. Something I later thanked myself for.
Every single dish we ordered had such a “wow" factor to it, from the plating, to the spice and the overall flavor. With regards to spice levels, there was nothing overbearing but just enough to playfully singe your tastebuds forcing you to always eat another bite. If I had to highlight or recommend any dishes, I’d definitely suggest you try the Morning Glory salad, Tom Yum Kung, and the Thai Egg Custard in Pumpkin.
This place is a hidden gem and sadly, it’s almost undetectable along the plethora of restaurants located on Jupiter Street in Makati. If you’ve been to this area, you know exactly what I’m talking about. But trust me, if you’re even a remote fan of Thai or spicy food, you owe it to yourself to give Siam Aroi a visit.

I ordered Green Thai Curry, Pork Garlic and Pad Thai. If you're not a fan of spicy food, I suggest you tell them to make it less spicy. Pork garlic was my favourite as the pork bits were flavourful. I suggest you get the family size serving cause their portions are good for 1-2 persons. Pad Thai was good, but it was spicy, which was kind of weird cause I know Pad Thai wasn't meant to be spicy. Green Thai curry smelled of Thai basil, which was heavenly, and you have an option if you want it in chicken or pork. I suggest you get the chicken because it just completes the whole curry experience! They accept delivery, but give it 45 mins until you get your order. Plus, they have a 10% delivery charge and they add P10 for every container used per order so take that into consideration when computing for your final bill.
This is authentic Thai food.
It reminds me of home cooked Thai meals I have tried in Bangkok.
The Pad Thai and Tom Yum is authentic and packs a lot of flavors.
The best part is a Thai lady cooks and prepares your meal.
The owner is very friendly always gives free dessert.
I think this is my favorite Thai place in Manila.
The food is as authentic as it can be! Tup we ordered that much and we were only 3. Hahaha we wanted to try everything. I specially liked the Tom Yung Gung soup best I ever tried in a while. Their Chicken Pandan is different from how we know it. The spicy squid and pork is goooood!😅 This is not for the weak stomach! Spicy all over!:-)
Siam Aroi transports you to Bangkok with all its Thai tchotchkes tat adorn the resto.
Thai Milk Tea was very good and it had a Buy 1 Get One Promo too! The tea was the savior when out taste buds were burning with the spiciness of the food.
We had Tom Yum Kung and Tom Kha Kai. The best Tom Yum we've had in Manila. Good balance of sweetness and spiciness with fresh shrimp. Tom Kha Kai - chicken in coconut milk was spicy but still so yummy. Spicy and sour hot soup that is so aromatic.
For mains we had Pad Thai and Chicken Green Curry. Pad Thai was good with a nice bite and egg, beansprouts and shrimps. The Green Curry had a lot of chicken pieces and eggplant. It was moderately spicy and very tasty.
Been reading about this placed for sometime. Hyped that I was going to try it. Got spicy seafood salad, pad thai, spring rolls and tom yum hot pot. All were pretty good. Serving size wasn't that big though. An order of pad thai would be good for one person. The hot pot was good for sharing. Food is pricey. Ambiance and service was ok. Definitely would try to go back.
PS. Cash only
Perfect place for a Thai fix. I love their bagoong rice cause it wasn't too salty. For our mains, we ordered the green chicken curry and roast pork neck. The curry was my favorite cause it was so good (I highly recommend it) and their roast pork neck also tasted so good and juicy and was light for the tummy. For the soup, we ordered tom yum and found it too sweet & spicy and I found it odd cause we opted for the "mild" level of spice.
I loved the food in this place.It brings me back to Thailand which I frequent so I can say I know whatnis good and authentic from not.We started out with Papaya salad with fresh crab.The Thai lady chef used brined alimasag because the fresh crab from Thailand was obviously not available.We had the nam tok moo(pork salad) which had strips of grilled pork,toasted rice bits and of course tossed in patis dressing.We had the bagoong rice and pad thai as well.The rice was good,I mean how can you go wrong with khao kluk kapi or bagoong rice as long as you use good rice and kapi(thai shrimp paste).The pad thai was a bit dry for me but flavorful.the fried chicken was also good.I'd say better than their grilled chicken which we also ordered.The stir fried morning glory was also good for our vegetable dish.The place had a weird smell though and I hope they get to address it because I love the food.Aroi makmak as the Thais would say!😋
This is a tiny, easily-missed hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant along Jupiter. Food was AMAZING. Their Roast Pork Neck was juicy and tender - a dish I did not expect to eat at a Thai restaurant. We ordered a lot:
1. Roast pork neck - this dish alone will make me come back
2. Pad thai - I found the noodles overcooked
3. Green curry chicken - very good! Just the right level of spiciness
4. Bagoong rice - you can actually taste the pork and it has enough sahog to make it a complete meal
5. Mango sticky rice - perfect dessert for the entire meal
There was only 2 of us so we couldn't order more but next time I'll try their Thai Iced Tea and the Tom Yum.
Serving size is just right - Asian sized. Dishes average on the 300 peso price point. Parking is easy.
Highly recommended!
Nice little hole in the wall that serves delightful Thai food. Try their signature pork dish it gave me a whole new wonderful Thai dish experience. The sautéed kangkong dish was the overachiever - perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked. This alone would keep me coming back.
This small restaurant serves authentic thai food. The best milk tea and tom yum noodles we had so far! We didn't regret that we spent minutes driving back and forth around the area because althought they have a big signage, it is not noticeable (or baka bulag lang kame lol). A bit pricey though but definitely a must try! - Elaine Taningco
The place is small but the food is great. I'll recommend their Pad Thai and Kor Moo Yang. The best so far compared to other restaurants. For dessert, try egg custard with pumpkin.
