Not too shabby. I guess this restaurant is consistent in terms of getting 3 stars. I would totally give 2 stars based on decor and how long it took to get our food. But, the people running the restaurant are SOOOO nice and they took the extra time to make me a special order that I can't just leave it at that.
This is a pretty mom and pops thai place. They have a karaoke machine, so watch out... you'd better not be around when Im around. Actually I didn't think this was the best thai place i've ever been to. To be completely honest, I've been to a LOT better places... but this is probably one of the few thai places in town..
THis place does take a long time to get the orders ready because they only have two people running the kitchen... so if you are really hungry, call ahead and pick up or something. yeah...
I'll come back again!
My opinion of this restaurant is somewhat nonchalant. Â I stopped in on a whim as I happened to be hanging out in the area while on the job. Â I went for sushi, and though I was pleased with what I got, it didn't really stand out. Â The restaurant itself isn't the nicest (anyone else experience an unusually bizarre odor permeating from the restroom?) but the staff was very friendly and the sushi was good. Â That said, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, and so may never return.
Review Source:Definitely a hole-in-the-wall with personality. I want to give 3.5 stars.
I would not really suggest to go here for sushi, but the Thai food is pretty good. My favorite thing we had was the spring rolls with tofu and cream cheese filling. We also had the baked scallops with mushrooms which sounded delicious, but was a little too mayonnaisey. The satay was good, perfectly cooked with just a little bit of curry, so you still can dip it in the peanut sauce without it overpowering. The seaweed salad has ***MUST TRY*** on the menu, but I didn't really understand why. They should move these stars to the spring rolls which deserve it more. As a whole, they have a huge selection of appetizers and soups so it's quite overwhelming when you are hungry.
For our dishes, the red curry was pretty solid, nice flavor. The pud thai (as it says on the menu) was good, but another dish with bell pepper and meat was a little too salty. Â All of the dishes are huge portions, so don't go overboard when ordering! The sushi was all ok. I would suggest getting cooked stuff here such as tempura, spider, or unagi rather than sashimi or plain fish rolls.
The one kind of funny thing about the menu is most of the names are changed to English friendly ones. I think most people who eat ethnic and world cuisine have staple dishes they can pick out by name, here it's can be tricky to figur out. Overall the real reason to go here is the karaoke. :) Stay late and the owners will sing with you and you can have a great time. They are so welcoming and friendly.
Overall, not a bad lunch. Nothing truly special aside from the miso.
You'll find this place in one of those old-time corner strip-malls, next to a Pawn shop. I have learned never to trust the facades of these places, no matter how run down and hokey they may be. You can find pearls in these gnarled old oysters.
Old Siam Thai Grill and Sushi Bar implies about food what "World Music" implies about music: just throw it together, people will go for it because it's exotic. While I have my opinions about the lumping together of distinct genres, food, music, or otherwise, I won't malign the food itself. This is not a fusion restaurant, mind you. That's a whole other creature entirely.
The waiter showed me to a table toward the back. In an empty restaurant, why do that? I don't know. I sat by the window, instead, nestled in with a nice little fountain and fake flora. The muzak was a funny mix of jazz, Asian pop, and klezmer music, near as I could tell. It was pleasant, not too distracting, and completely forgettable.
I came for the Pad Thai. I had a craving and Google Maps told me this was the best bet near work. A cursory look at the menu tells me that while there is a sushi selection, and some staple Japanese dishes, the focus really is Thai food. I ordered my noodles "medium," not knowing where that would fall in the range of spiciness, and opted for the soup, as opposed to the salad.
The soup was miso. It was actually some of the best miso I've had in a restaurant. It was your basic broth, tofu, onions and seaweed, but the tofu was more substantive than I've encountered, and the broth more flavorful (yet without being overly salty).
The dish came with an egg roll and a lime squeeze (nice touch). The egg roll was saltier than I would have liked; it's flavor didn't mesh with the noodles, so I saved the rest until later. The noodles were a good texture, with a nice flavor. They weren't sickly sweet, as some Pad Thai can be.
The spiciness was ... distracting. Medium was hot enough to get my attention and give me a good glow. My only problem with it was that I could also taste the spice, a little tinge of bitterness added to the lightly sweet and tangy mix. Â I suppose I could grow to love the combination, but it wasn't anything I am used to. Nevertheless, it was not an overwhelming element by any means.
