I ordered drunken noodle Didn't taste as authentic because it lacks flavors or spices. The staffs are nice

Recently moved to the area and needed a quick meal last night. My husband ordered chicken pad Thai from here since it was close and we think it's the best we've had...and we've had a lot of pad Thai. It's not oily like a lot are. The noodles are really good and it's white chicken that is super good. The chili sauce gives it some good extra flavor cause I don't like spicey. We ordered it again today along with cream cheese won tons that were equally delicious. We ordered take out both times but the outdoor patio looks nice and they have heaters. Service was fast and they were very nice. Will definitely be coming back here often. read more

They kindly agreed not to charge me, after I couldn't bare to eat their "thai green curry." Their green curry was "watered" down, and the vegetables in this curry tasted "stringy" as if they were just taken out of the freezer and quickly reheated. The rice was also stale. The only reason why I gave 4-stars, instead of 1, is because they kindly didn't charge me for this meal. Do *not* get the green curry here. read more

Delicious Thai food for great prices! We are repeat customers and love this place!

I love this place. I've been here over 10 times and know I'll always be getting a great tasting meal. The staff is always very friendly and always calls you by name when you come in. Can't say enough good things about this place. If you get the chance to try it, go for it. read more

We love this place. By far the best Thai food in the area and consistently excellent service. And it is very reasonably priced both lunch and dinner. Dining room is small but there's a nice little patio so you can sit outside. Be sure to try their Thai iced coffee! read more

This place is in the same center as my work so I stop by from time to time for a treat on my lunch. Their lunch special is $7.99 and comes with a free drink, salad, soup, wonton (once they gave me an egg roll instead) and an entree. The food is really good and for that price is worth coming back. They don't like to charge less than $10 on a card. It they have done it for me because I didn't know. The woman who is usually there is extremely sweet and gracious and I feel comfortable going there every time. read more

Finally! Good Thai food in South OC. Great service and reasonable prices will keep us coming back regularly.

This place has the best pad see ewe I've ever had. It's so good I actually eat the broccoli and I'm not a vegetable guy lol. I eat here several times a month. Fried rice is very good. Owner is very nice. read more

We didn't come here for a while. During that time, owner changed. But the food is still as good as before or better! The new owner is also super friendly. read more

Great food!! Love the Pad Thai and the Yellow Curry. They are the only things I have tried so far. But they are really good.

Best Thai food in the area! We were happy to find this place after trying other restaurants but now this is our go to. Always delicious and she's so friendly! read more

Amazing yellow curry! Best prices I've ever seen! Good for party's and I never have to wait long for my food :) read more

This plaace is soooooo bomb. I got the pad se ew beef and spicy shrimp fried rice . Definitely will be back. :) The lady at the register was super sweet as well.. read more

My family order from here pretty often we love it the food is great and we are always treated so well. The staff are so friendly and they always provide us with very hefty portions! read more

The food here is excellent. They have both Thai and Chinese food, which means a pretty extensive menu. I highly recommend the pad see-ew... it was delicious. It's also reasonably priced. Dinner for 2 had bigger portions, better taste, cost the same, and was ready just as fast as our dinner for 2 the night before at Pei Wei. Also, great customer service. The people working there (probably the owners, if I had to guess) were friendly and gracious. It's a very good option for Thai food in South OC. read more

I really like the food here. My two favorites are the Pad Thai and the chowmein. This is one of those "hole-in-the-wall" places so the atmosphere isn't anything spectacular. However, they are very quick on their service and the food is very delicious. I recommend this place over Pei Wei down the road. read more

This is my latest addition to the series of Yelp reviews and is for all the Thai food lovers in Orange County. I just had lunch here and the Pad Thai with chicken was an excellent choice for lunch. With just the right amount of spice it was very tasty and under $10. Well done on the service as well. Great find! enjoy Craig Taggart read more

My Thai friend recommend this place to me. Yesterday I tried their veggie egg rolls and pad Thai. It is so good. Today I tried their lunch special. It comes with a cheese wonton, salad and a drink! I ordered the red curry. It is so yummy! I'm so glad I don't need to go to irvine to get authentic Thai food. People at the cashier is very friendly and helpful! Will come back for sure. read more

My husband and I have tried every Thai place in South County (big and small) and none of them come close to the quality and flavor of the food at Siamese Express. It's just a little mom-and-pop place where the food is authentic, delicious, and reasonably priced. We've been going there for four years now. Our favorite must-orders: chicken satay, BBQ chicken, pad thai (shrimp or vegetable), won ton soup, and tom yum soup. They can make the food as hot or as mild as you wish. My hubby's a wuss, but I love kicking it up a notch with the little Thai peppers in fish oil. The restaurant is very casual and clean with diner-style, cafe-sized tables (two and four top) inside, and seating outside on the back covered patio. It's a perfect place to stop to eat when you're out running errands or to make a phone order and swing by to pick up food to go. read more

Favorite Thai place around! Amazing food, great friendly service. Food is made when ordered. Fresh seafood. Cold beer. Definitely a must have! read more

The quality of the food is absolutely excellent. I really don't think you could find a better place to eat this type food than Siamese Express. The owner really cares about the food and about you. I will never ever go to another Thai restaurant. read more

Good and quick delivery, yes, I said delivery in Aliso Viejo. I had the pad thai and some won ton soup. Perfect for a night in with the dogs! read more

Thanks to Yelp, I know there is decent Thai food in Aliso Viejo. My friend and I were going to have lunch and I asked her what she felt like having. She said she wanted Thai, so I told her I'd look up some places. The other two places I'd been to were not worthy of second visits, and I was more than happy to try a new Thai place. The place has a small interior, but a large patio. It looks like a total Mom and Pop place, which I appreciated. The woman behind the counter was a lot shorter, so I thought it was so cute how she had to come around to take my order. I ended up getting the lunch special #1: Chicken with chili pepper and basil (had my choice of fried rice or steamed rice). The price was $6.25, which was pretty reasonable compared to other places. For my drink, I got green tea, which came in a bottle. The thought of drinking warm green tea when it was nearly 90 degrees outside didn't sound like a good idea. My order came out in no time. It had two scoops of rice and an eggroll. The chicken slices were small, and I had to make sure I didn't mistake them for the mushrooms (I hate mushrooms). When I took my first bite, there was an explosion of spiciness. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! This is what I expect out of Thai food. It also wasn't greasy. Probably some of the best-tasting Thai food I've had in a while. Thanks Siamese Express! You've got a fan in me! How can I not when there's a "People love us on Yelp" sticker on your window? TIP: They accept all major credit cards. However, there is a minimum $8 charge, otherwise there is a $.30 surcharge. read more

This place is a little hole in the wall next to Peppinos and a Japanese restaurant. The food's ok. Not the greatest Thai food ever. I much prefer Thai Bite. Everything's kinda... stuck together. I always get the rard nah (or something like that). The portions are ok although I wish they were a bit larger. The prices are average. It's got a few tables inside and patio seating outside so not a great place for large groups. The people who work there are friendly. read more

A hole-in-the-wall, Mom & Pop place with friendly owners, and a wide variety of excellent Thai food. At most restaurants, I usually stick with only one or two favorites, but I've probably eaten at least 15-20 different dishes here, and nearly all have been "A"s", with the others getting a strong "B". So, don't be afraid to experiment with something new - Mary will cook it to your desired degree of spiciness, and it will be good! Also, tell them if you want something extra, like "add mushrooms", etc. My wife's a vegetarian who can eat almost any dish on the menu - she simply substitutes fried tofu for the meat. We both are bothered by greasy meals, often found at other Thai or Chinese restaurants, but we've never had a greasy dish here - in years. They just make good, fresh food. read more

I haven't written a review in awhile, felt compelled to after my visit here. As other negative reviews mention, it is under 'new management'. With that said, the people are cordial. However, I had Panang chicken curry. Chicken was overcooked and, most importantly, the curry did not have any flavor. Neither sweet nor savory. Just blah. I don't recommend their Panang chicken curry. I can't speak to anything else, but the end result of the Panang doesn't compel me to return, at all. read more

My go to Thai place. The staff is very friendly and eager to please. The Pad See Ew with chicken is so yummy and a really good sized portion. The yellow curry is also really delicious. I will definitely be back. read more

I used to come here all the time for my favorite curry dish because no other place made it so well and so delicious. In noticing the food was not quite the same recently - a spicy favorite of mine (Thai Yellow Curry), is no longer available with the same ingredients, I learned Siamese Express is under new ownership. Too bad because they were so good in the past. I hope they get in contact with the former owners and get some of their recipes. read more

Food tasted odd. Multiple flies in the outdoor sauces.

My friend is Thai and highly recommends, need I write more? Pad kee mow with chicken, pad Thai, the war won ton soup, and all the rice dishes are excellent. If you want "chicken chow mein" or Mongolian beef, go to Panda Express. If you want authentic THAI dishes, it's good and the prices are cheap. read more

I have eaten here twice in the last month trying to give the new owners a chance. Unfortunately, they did not retain the recipes of the old owners. The food is terrible. After eating here weekly for several years, I will not be back. Please come back Vee and Mary! We miss your great food! read more

I love everything about Siamese Express. Great food and great customer service. Pat went above and beyond just to accommodate us for my daughter's bday last week. I def won't stop coming to this place. read more

This is good place for take-out meal. The price is reasonable for the meals and the amount is good. Overall the food is not bad. I don't think I would enjoy the experience much eating at the restaurant. I would definitely order the food to go. read more

I've tried lots of other Thai food places around here, meh not so great but this place brought me back to my childhood I took my first bite and was trying to hold back tears of joy reminds me of the Thai food in the valley. The service was impeccable I want to cry 5/5 would come again read more

I wanted to try a new thai place in my neighborhood. I called ahead for takeout. The gentleman that answered the phone was pretty nice and quick. I order the combination appetizer and the pad see ew. The portions were pretty decent and definitely share able. The pad see ew was really good and I almost ate all of it to myself. The appetizers were really good as well I wasn't a fan of the potstickers but the shrimp rolls and the egg rolls were really good. Next time I'm going to try the pad thai and aliso fried rice. read more

The best food ever!!! The owners are very gracious and are fast in their service. This is a must stop place you've got to try all of their food. I have been coming here for over 12 years. read more

Been here a few times now and they are always very quick and friendly. We get the chow mein and panang curry and it's been great every time. Also they allow dogs on the patio. read more

Ordered pickup using the yelp app an hour ago. Presently still sitting here waiting for my food. Said the wait would be 15-30 minutes. No idea how the food is, but they seem out of their element. I wish I hadn't prepaid, or I'd walk away. read more

Best lunch special in town!!! The green curry is to die for! I could drink their thai tea all day!! Definitely coming back!
