Siam Spice Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Sterling

I have been a faithful patrol of Siam Spice for years now. However, I am compelled to write a review now. In years past I have written a review giving glowing recommendation of this restaurant (on another platform). I even tried to put off this review in hopes my feeling would change. Well, the feeling of disappointment has remained. For years, I have always felt that I was getting value for dollar spent there. But sadly, like other restaurants, during 2020 (COVID impact) I have found their portion sizes dwindling. I bought a couple entrees last week, and was extremely saddened to see that, yet again, the portion size was reduced, even from the previous purchase a month before. The fried rice had always been filled to the rim of the container, this time it didn't even touch the sides of the container, and reached nowhere near the rim. The string bean with chicken entrée was in a smaller container than before, one that I would expect a side dish to be in, not an entrée. Before now, the container size was similar to the size of the rice container, but not now. When I opened the container, I was truly disappointed to see that the string beans could actually be counted. I expected the string beans to be the highlight of the meal, not the chicken. My prior experiences allowed me to have decent leftovers and this time, sadly, I was barely satisfied with the portion that was provided. While I sympathize that the coronavirus has adversely affected businesses, and I am doing my part to support local businesses by ordering take-away, but when the portion sizes get so drastically small and my satisfaction is reduced, I am left wondering whether I should continue to support that business. The taste of the food was still good, however, that...

Thai restaurant located in an unassuming strip mall that serves up some exceptional dishes but others marred by heavy amounts of American influence. I am a huge lover of the green papaya salad and this place does it well but is not exceptional. The fish sauce and balance of sweet, salty, savory, and spicy is not quite as authentic as I would have liked. The Pad see ew however was delicious with perfectly cooked flat noodles with delicious slices of beef mixed in between. This combined with the spicy sambal sauce on the side made for a delicious pairing. The fried shrimp was very middle of the road with large amount of doughy batter. The noodle soup was just ok with nothing exceptional or memorable. Service was fast and efficient. Prices are reasonable and it’s one of the few areas with passable Thai food so if you’re in the area and craving Thai, it’s worth a visit but don’t quite expect it to replicate a dinner experience like...
