Siam Cafe is one of the oldest Thai restaurants in Nashville, and it’s still going strong. Since 1976, they’ve been serving classic Thai dishes long before Nolensville Pike became the go-to stretch for global eats. Along with International Market, this restaurant was the first taste of Thai food for generations of Nashvillians. The prices also seem stuck in another time—all the curries and noodles are under $15, making this one of the most affordable places in town, full stop. Come for takeout and get some $7 som tum and an extra peanutty massaman curry, or lad nah noodles covered in a rich gravy for a super filling meal that’ll cost under $25.
