Siam Casa Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Irwindale

I would’ve taken a picture of the dish, but it was gone before I even thought about having photographed it for y’all.

Hands-down, one of the best red curries I’ve ever had in a restaurant in years. I’ve spent nearly a decade of regular practice in my own kitchen attempting to perfect the traditional recipe red curry from scratch, which is often no small feat as some of the originally intended ingredients can be difficult to source in your average Whole Foods and Ken frequently only be found at places like Gus’ Community Markets found only in SF, a fantastic example of a gourmet grocery store carrying items sourced from all over the world that one simply can’t find anywhere else. We are all working from what is essentially the same traditional recipe when you talk about red curry, so frequently it is cutting corners, or making substitutions, that alters the outcome away from perfection that is obtained by using all the traditional, often Thailand-sourced ingredients sometimes very far away from that Perfect red curry, and today, for the first time in a long time, Siam Casa Thai cuisine, hit the nail on the head with today’s red curry, which they served me for lunch. Bravo, yawls red curry stands in a league of its own compared to most of the garbage, being paddled, and many other places I’ve tried all over...

We ordered mostly appetizers due to the fact that it had very few items that seemed okay 👍🏼 for me as a vegan can consume. I will say, we were blown away by the items we ordered and everything was fabulous. My daughter ordered chicken potstickers and she expressed that they were really yummy and would order them again. I ordered the golden tofu, which was excellent ❤️ It was fried perfectly, the way that I love eating tofu the most. The sauce that came with it was soooo good. If you're peanut allergic, unfortunately, this wouldn't be safe for you. Next, I ordered the spring rolls and wow! Fresh veggies are always a plus, but again, it was the peanut sauce that it came with, that just blew my mind. Yummy yummy. We also ordered orange tofu... Yes, orange tofu. What I loved was the thickness of the batter but felt that the orange flavor needed a little more flavor, but that was my only technical complaint. Lastly, we ordered coconut milk sticky rice with fried banana's, and wow, it was soo good. The fried banana was simply that, but delicious, then I loved the coconut milk sticky rice. The sticky and sweet wasn't too much, just right👍🏼. I reccomend if you're in this area or if you're looking for a good Thai restaurant, check this one out. You can tell that it is entirely family ran. Support...

I'm not normally in this part of town so we randomly chose this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised.

I had the Pad Thai. I know it's one of the most commonly ordered dishes at Thai restaurants, but realistically if they can't get that right, they shouldn't be in business. Well, this place got it right. In fact, it was some of the best Pad Thai I have ever had.

My wife had stir fried rice which she really enjoyed so we both had a nice experience.

The dining area was clean and nicely decorated.

I didn't visit the restroom so I cannot comment on that.

The restaurant is in a strip mall. We came in the late afternoon but there seamed to be ample parking.

The waitress was very nice but sometimes disappeared for a while.

All in all, I do recommend...
