Dining room at Star of Siam, Chicago, ILStar of Siam, one of the first Thai restaurants in the city, is not free of complacency or carelessness. While it is a solid-enough option and some of the dishes are decent, it just does not always deliver. However, the soups are of note, especially the tom yum, and the chicken preparations---including stir-fried chicken with pea pods, cashews and straw mushrooms---are quite good. The chicken massaman is a winner, too, and the satay with its fab peanut sauce cannot be beat. Desserts are limited to ice cream, custard and lychee on ice.
