About Pasta Ama Siam Center

Pasta Ama (Pasta Ama, or Grandma's Pasta) is a Thai pasta chain, and this branch sits on the 2nd floor of Siam Center in Pathum Wan. A Wongnai reviewer describes it as an open-plan spot in the mall's dining area. Crowds keep coming here all year, years after the brand went viral on TikTok in the early COVID period. Expect a casual, busy mall room rather than a quiet dining room.

The menu mixes Western pasta with Thai flavours: carbonara with sriracha and an onsen egg, spicy stir-fried salmon spaghetti, a volcano-egg shrimp spaghetti, plus fried chicken, baked spinach with cheese and homemade cakes. Most pastas cost about ฿139 to ฿300, sides are around ฿130 to ฿150, and a 5% service charge plus 7% VAT is added. Wongnai lists it at ฿251 to ฿500 per person.

This works for a relaxed lunch or an early dinner while you shop at Siam. The food is shareable, and the Thai-style heat gives you something to talk about. On weekends a reviewer waited under five minutes for a table but about 14 minutes for the food. A weekday visit is calmer, and last orders are before the mall closes.
