    My chicken pad Thai
    BT J.

    Always nice snd helpful . I usually call in my order and it's ready for pick up which I sometimes eat in the shaded patio area in the back. Generous lportions.

    Amazing food and amazing service!! We came here looking to try a new Thai spot and we found a new local fav! We got the pad Thai with tofu and it was so flavorful and delicious! They made the tofu nice and crispy. You can hear the crunch with every bite. I rarely find a place that has good pad Thai, and this one did an amazing job with it.

    Another good find on yelp. working local vendor and did a yelp search and found this place. Small, quaint establishment two ladies working authentic food. I like the fact they asked what heat range you wanted. Good service great food!$ Asking is a great sign of a Asian restaurant.

    South Orange County has a lot of great Thai restaurants. Some are better than others and service can be hit or miss! You have many larger dine in locations and some smaller locations for people that are on the go! Siamese Express happens to be one of the better Thai restaurants in the area. It's ideal for people that need a quick meal with generous servings! Siamese Express is located at the intersection of La Paz and Pacific Park Drive. It's situated in a small shopping center near Target. Plenty of parking is available in the lot so you won't have any issues finding a spot for your vehicle. The restaurant itself is actually very small. When you walk inside, you'll see that the interior dining room is smaller than expected. You also have an opportunity to dine on their patio. I believe their outdoor seating area is shared with the adjacent Italian restaurant. A nice awning protects you from the hot sun and they also have heaters that are ideal for colder days I typically place my order over the phone and it's ready within 10 minutes. It's truly an express food preparation process and everything is cooked thoroughly. I really love their Pad See Ew because it has the perfect amount of flavoring, making it a delicious meal. The lady that answers the phone is always very nice. She's also very efficient! As soon as I walk in, my food is on the counter, ready to go. We review my order, I pay, and then I'm on my way. It's simple and to the point! That's what I like about this place. It's quick and your food is delicious! If you're looking for a simple place to enjoy traditional Thai food, you can't go wrong with Siamese Express!

It's a…read morewonderful spot for parents; they are incredibly accommodating, providing kid-specific plates and plastic utensils. A huge bonus for us was the sealed cups for the kids--it makes the meal so much more relaxing! The Highlights Beef Satay Sticks ($13): These were a standout. You get five sticks served with both a peanut sauce and a vinegar sauce. Both dips were absolutely amazing and paired perfectly with the beef. Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp ($10): The small portion was surprisingly hearty, packed with large, succulent shrimp and delicious mushrooms. The broth was incredibly flavorful. Pad See Iew with Pork ($19): We usually stick to Pad Thai, but I'm so glad we branched out! It was loaded with fresh broccoli and tender pork. We ordered it non-spicy for the children, but the staff kindly brought chili on the side so I could add a perfect kick to my own portion. Crying Tiger ($25): This dish was very tasty and well-prepared. However, since the Beef Satay was such a hit with our group, we'll probably just order extra sticks of those next time to save a little room! Service & Atmosphere Even during a busy Sunday dinner service, the staff didn't miss a beat. They were attentive, kept our waters filled, and checked in on us frequently to ensure we had everything we needed. Final Verdict: We left feeling full and happy. If you're looking for a friendly environment and great food, this is the place. We will definitely be back the next time a Thai craving hits!

I'm blessed this is right around the corner from my work, so it's convenient (which is a temptation). The food is very delicious and the portion sizes are generous. I'm ordering form here every week for lunch, and nothing I've had has really disappointed. Food is served hot and made quickly. Their pineapple rice is off the charts. I would suggest getting it a bit spicy/with more Thai curry. Their crab and Thai fried rice is also a hit. Their massaman curry is flavourful and not too hot. You can always add more spice if you want. My favourite noodle dishes are the Pad thai (so yummy and not dry), pad kee mao (love the Thai basil), and pad wood sen. I have ordered the chowmein, it wasn't the best or my favourite, this dish didn't really taste "Thai" at all and I would not order it again, but it does not affect my opinion of this place. The people are friendly and food is ready despite them usually being busy. Don't forget to ask for chili in vinegar - these are a yummy addition to your food.

I don't know how to describe what it tastes like, but it's kind of like a seafood curry with spinach and a bright rainbow curry. Pad woon soon was good too. And pad see ewe. However, I had a major disappointment Last night. I ordered a Tom kha goong soup that cost $17. Most places sell the soup for like 5-10 dollars so I'm thinking $18 is expensive that has got to be some dinner portion soup so it didn't make sense when it asked me if I wanted a large for seven dollars more, I'm thinking that that's probably a portion for a family. But it's cold and it's raining and I wanted to sip on something warm. They sent me the tiniest cup of soup. think when you go to a restaurant and they ask you if you want a cup of soup for three dollars or a bowl of soup for five dollars. I got a cup of soup. think when you go to a Japanese restaurant and they give you a small little miso soup with your meal. That's how much soup I got for $18. There were two slices of tomatoes in there a a couple mushrooms and a 2 piece of shrimp. This upset me so much because I spent so much money and was expecting some food. I politely called the restaurant and spoke to them about it and they said that they were very sorry but it's expensive because DoorDash charges 30% of the price. Which I understand, and I expect to pay more to have something delivered, but it was still very expensive for what I got, and in the end, it wouldn't have cost them much to give a large portion, and they should be more mindful about balancing what the customer is getting with their profits. Which they totally deserve their profits. It would be much more reasonable if the small was $6 and the large was $12. If that was the small I can imagine that the $25 large portion probably should've been offered as the small portion. Just writing that out upsets me so much have you ever spent $25 for a soup before?

You literally have to wave them down for refills, or remind for sauces, etc. one time it took 15 minutes from when we asked for a check to get the bill. Then another 10 for them to pick it up, so we got up and took it to the front register. Ordering takeout is even worse. They hand you a receipt to sign and tip them for...well I don't know why they expect a tip. Every visit I ask for several types of sauces and or utensils, they are ALWAYS skimping out. If I order 3 entrees and I ask for hot sauce, I should be given enough hot sauce for my order. Skinny short haired lady hands me 3 ketchup size packets for 3 entrees max. The final straw was on a takeout order when I see the typical "3 sauces for 3 entrees" and I ask as usual for more sauces, the lady has the audacity to give me 1 more and then turns around not saying bye. I go to my car and per usual they forget all utensils. I go back in and the lady is visibly mad I'm back, I ask for utensils and she gives me 2 (bro I always order 3 entrees, it's for 3 people). I ask for one more and she scoffs but gives me the third. Then says "do you need anything else?" Yes ma'am, I need you to learn customer service if you're front of house. Every time I come in I'm angered by her attitude and service. NEVER EVER AGAIN!
