Siam Food Company has been inspected 28 times since 2011. Inspectors last stopped by on Mar 24, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near five violations per visit.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, showing up 17 times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. The full picture is one of consistent compliance.
