Siam Thai — Restaurant in West Milwaukee

Pros:

Food was fantastic and the service was very friendly. Restaurant was clean and well organized, something that is sadly fairly uncommon among many smaller Asian eateries. Spice levels were as requested, with my chicken curry fried rice being very spicy without the often used 'douse it in red pepper' method that many places resort to when higher levels of heat are requested. Rice was cooked well and the portion was generous.

Cons:

The speed we received our food was horrendous. The restaurant was only around a third full and an order of curry fried rice and stir fried broccoli and beef took nearly forty minutes from order to table. Admittedly this was during a weekday lunchtime so it's possible there was a backup of take out and delivery but the delay was serious. If you're planning on going with any time of time restriction I'd suggest calling ahead.

Overall:

The food was good enough that I'll be going back, but the service was slow enough that I'll be calling ahead when I do. Perhaps it was a one time occurrence, but they need to realize that the working crowd coming in for lunch needs quick turn around. Not everyone has the luxury of taking as long as they want away from their job. If you're looking for a good Thai meal and aren't in a hurry this is a very...

To put it short, this place is awesome! This modest Thai restaurant is a little gem hidden in a big city. First off every dish is made to order, and the freshness shows from the golden, perfectly crisp egg roll wraps to the perfectly cooked vegetables in your dish. The flavors are amazing. They have some classic dishes, and their unique take on many familiar dishes insures you will have many favorits to choose from. From the Pho to the savory slightly sweet brown sauce you will not be disappointed. The serving size is perfect, for the price. I have found that anything I have ordered could be split between two leaving no leftovers, or if just for you, you will have lunch for tomorrow. The level of customer service is a rare find in this crazy world today. You will frequently find the owners out on the floor checking on customers, refilling water glasses and serving food right alongside the wait staff. The atmosphere is modern yet with a touch of culture. It is clean, and the tables are promptly cleaned after customers leave. Lovely decorative pieces on the walls and Asian music softly playing adds the authenticity you just might be looking for when dining at a...

Scheduled a takeout order. Order wasn't ready when I arrived.

• Beef Pho $12 - Noodles and veggies were packed in separate 5x5 styrafoam container. Broth was dark and cloudy, no pho flavor other than salt which I had to add more water to dilute the saltiness. Thick beef slices that were tough and overcooked. • Papaya $7 - Came in a small 16oz container, tasted of salt/fish sauce and lime; nothing special about their homemade sauce and didn't come with cabbage either. • Crispy Squid $8 - Came in the small 5x5 styrafoam container. Very small pieces. Not crispy but the flour texture is comparable to sweet and sour chicken. Not worth the price. • Ordered the side fried rice $5 and eggrolls $4. Both bland and tasteless.

Overall, overpriced for small portions of tasteless food. First time at the restaurant and most likely will be my last. The prices for the amount of food and the lack of flavor isn't...
