Ordering Thai food for the first time (or the fiftieth time) often comes down to one uncertainty: will this dish actually be spicy? Siam Thai Cuisine’s Lunch Combination and Fish/Shrimp Lunch menus already answer that question directly — most dishes carry a Mild, Medium, or Hot label right next to the name — and this guide pulls those ratings together in one place so you can order with confidence, whether you’re ordering off the lunch menu or using it as a reference for the dinner-menu version of the same dish.
Mild: The Safe Starting Point
For diners who want flavor without heat, the menu’s Mild-labeled dishes are the reliable choice: Chicken Or Pork Garlic Pepper ($15.50), Thai BBQ Chicken ($15.50), Imperial Chicken Or Beef ($15.50), Princess’s Favorite Prawns ($17.50), Pad See Ew Noodle ($15.50), House Fried Rice ($15.50), Princess In Green ($15.50, vegetable), and Shrimp And Calamari In Garlic And Veggies ($18.95). None of these rely on chili heat for their flavor — garlic, pepper (as in black pepper, not chili), and coconut milk do the work instead, making them a safe first order for someone new to the cuisine or ordering for a spice-sensitive table.
Medium: The Everyday Middle Ground
Most of Siam Thai Cuisine’s curry menu lands here. Yellow Curry Chicken ($16.00), Panang Chicken Curry ($16.00), Red Curry Chicken ($16.00), Green Curry Chicken ($16.00), Mas-Sa-Mun Beef Curry ($17.00), Moo Prig-Khing ($15.50), Mango Chicken And Cashew ($15.50), Panang Curry Shrimp ($18.00), Thai Lemongrass Chicken ($15.50), Stir Fried Chicken & Eggplant ($15.50), Pad Thai Shrimp ($17.50), House Shrimp Fried Rice ($17.50), and the Vegetable Lunch section’s Panang Tofu, Green Curry Veggie, Yellow Curry Tofu, Thai Lemongrass Veggie & Tofu, and Cashew Nut Veggie (all $15.50–$16.00) fall into this category. Medium dishes have real chili presence but aren’t built to overwhelm — a reasonable default for most first-time orders once you’re past the Mild tier.
Hot: For Diners Who Actually Want the Heat
For diners chasing real spice, the menu’s Hot-labeled dishes deliver: Chicken With Thai Basil ($15.50), Shrimps & Calamari Thai Basil ($18.50), Seafood Kee Mao Noodle ($18.50), Basil Fried Rice ($15.50), Sole Fish With Thai Basil ($18.95), and the Vegetable Lunch section’s Veggies & Tofu With Thai Basil and Eggplant In Spicy Sauce (both $15.50) are the clearest Hot-labeled options. Notice the pattern: dishes built around fresh Thai basil and chili tend to land in this tier more often than the coconut-milk curries, which mellow their heat with fat.
Using the Lunch Labels as a Dinner Menu Guide
The dinner menu doesn’t individually label spice levels the way the Lunch menu does, but the same dish names carry over, so the Lunch menu’s ratings are a reliable proxy. If Panang Chicken Curry is Medium at lunch, the dinner-portion Panang Curry Chicken ($16.95) follows the same profile. If Chicken With Thai Basil is Hot at lunch, the dinner version follows suit. This makes the Lunch menu useful as a spice-level reference even for diners who are only ordering dinner.
A Practical Way to Order for a Mixed-Spice Table
For a table where people want different heat levels, order one Mild dish (Thai BBQ Chicken or Pad See Ew), one Medium curry (Panang or Yellow Curry Chicken), and one Hot dish (Chicken With Thai Basil) family-style, with rice to share. That spread covers the full range without anyone needing to commit to a single spice level for the whole meal — and if a Hot dish turns out to be too much, a side of Thai Iced Tea ($5) does more to cut chili heat than water does.
