In Short – The spacious room buzzes at lunch, and quiets down for dinner. Walls are deep maroon and orange; seating is at "islands," sunken tables with cushions. The menu offers more than 30 traditional Thai dishes. Spring rolls and satay as appetizers; for entrees, peanut sauce bathes beef curry, and coconut milk enriches spicy curry with chicken. Pad see eiw pairs wide, stir-fried rice noodles with beef, eggs and greens in sweet soy sauce.
Well, at it LOOKS like Thai

Ate dinner here with an open mind, given the variety of the reviews. The restaurant is decorated nicely, the seating is interesting, and the prices are very affordable. But the food is so poor you really should go somewhere else. It was a very disappointing dinner. I must give the food only one star. From the Tom Yum soup through the three entrees we tried, the food was sorely lacking in taste, heat, or passion. It's as if the dishes were prepared from photos of dishes at other Thai restaurants: it looked like Thai food, it just didn't taste like it. All the dishes were under-seasoned, lacking in flavor, and flat. That just should not be.
- Pros: Decor, seating
- Cons: Food
Fantastic Tom Yum Soup!!
by breakfastfruit
Giving a place one star simply because they won't deliver directly to your office door seems really unfair. However, I have never order delivery so I'll stay quiet on that. I've been to Singha 4 times so far and every time, I was extremely pleased. I HIGHLY recommend getting the Tom Yum soup -- SO delicious, just the right balance of lemongrass, basil, and spice (I think it's best with chicken). I also really recommend the Chicken Pad Ped (for you coconut curry lovers). Honestly, the Pad Thai (which tends to be a reliable thai dish) was not that great here, I recommend branching out. The service was great, the food delicious, and the prices totally reasonable. I definitely recommend going as a group and sharing a bunch of dishes.
- Pros: tom yum soup, chicken pad ped, service, prices
- Cons: pad thai
SAYS THEY DELIVER BUT THEY DON'T!
by alfamausy
The food is relatively good, but don't expect delivery to an office downtown. Their policy is to deliver to the front desk only. I called the manager and was told that was the policy for twenty years and was totally unapologetic. If I could go downstairs for my lunch, I would have. Clearly that's why I pay a substantial delivery fee and tip well.
