Nice Owner, great desert

by Technoviking at Citysearch

I took a date there because it looked pretty cozy with the white table cloth and just a small place. The crab was pretty good that was recommended to me. The desert recommended was the sugar free homemade coconut ice cream. The owner(very nice) came by while we were eating desert and explained that his family in Thailand were ice cream makers by trade and not so much Thai food specialist. Great desert and the Houston Chronicle wrote and article on this resturaunt. My date and I were very impressed with this little place beside a liquor store in a shopping strip.

• Pros: unique deserts, good atomoshere, great owner
• Cons: so small the kitchen is too close

Food's Okay, If You've Got All Day...

by ellzebeth at Citysearch

Went to Thai Siam for an early dinner on a Saturday...about 6pm. Stopped in because we love Thai food,

and this place was one we had not tried yet. Restaurant is nice on the inside, and the servers were friendly,

but the food was average, and service painfully slow. For appetizers we ordered a soup and some new shrimp

rolls they have on the menu. The shrimp rolls were okay, but the dipping sauce had an odd taste to it. Just

to get the appetizers out took nearly 25 minutes. The Thai Tea was also not as good as I'm used to...a bit too

strong perhaps. Between the four of us, we only ordered two entrees, and that didn't come out until about 40

minutes after we placed the order. The place was not packed, so there's just no real excuse for the food taking

so long to come out. Lastly, even getting a hold of the check to pay and leave was time consuming. Overall,

we've had far better Thai food in Houston, and unless I had time to waste, and I do mean an extended period of

time, two hours or so...I wouldn't suggest going there.

• Cons: Service SLOW, prices a bit high

Best Thai food I have EVER tasted!!

Thai Siam is the yummiest place to eat in town! I have experienced other Thai restaurants but none of them compare to Thai Siam. The appetizers, particularly the crab meat cheese rolls are to die for! The house salad with peanut dressing is great and always fresh! The curries are very tasty and the noodle based dishes, (particularly the pad kee mao) are amazing! The service is wonderful, everyone is so nice and willing to help. The owner, John is great! He is the epidemy of customer service and aims to please everyone. I have never had a bad experience here and I know I never will. And for dessert, the coconut ice cream is SO yummy, and made fresh in the kitchen! The staff of Thai Siam are always so warm and friendly, it is always so nice to dine in! Thai Siam is highly recommended!!

• Pros: great service, amazing food, nice atmosphere, great price
• Cons: nothing!!
