Arguably, I have found the best Thai cuisine on this side of the GTA! In an area more known for Italian, Siamese Thai Cuisine dares to make itself unique in the Vaughan/Woodbridge power centre of Highway 400 and Highway 7. Finding myself here after a client meeting, I was greeted by today’s host and waiter with a friendly smile who promptly offered me a drink when I sat down. The décor, simple lines, with dark wooded accents. The windows huge, bright and inviting, could have used curtains to set the mood a bit. After a quick perusal of the menu, I decided to have the Thai iced tea with an order of the beef pad Thai for lunch. The waiter quickly returned within minutes with my drink order and the accompaniment mango salad that I chose. The mango salad was marvellous, topped with an in-house vinaigrette, some sweet onions, red peppers. The mangoes themselves were not overly ripen but just right, sweet and sugary to taste, like biting into al dente pasta. I love mangoes so I had to slow it down as I eagerly save my palette for the main course. When the pad Thai came a couple of minutes later, I quickly dived into the delicious hot plate of noodles set before me. There was more beef than I expected, which is always a good sign. A lime wedge was set as the garnish as well. The noodles itself were cooked perfectly and seasoned to taste. It definitely is one of the better pad Thai I have had in awhile. It wasn’t overly greasy like some others, and definitely was not drowning in sauce. The kitchen was on point with this plate of Pad Thai that I will definitely recommend others to try. I loved that the dish was steaming hot, straight out of the kitchen made to order. I savored every bite of the sweet and sour noodles, leaving barely any bits and pieces when all was said and done. I saved some space for desserts and also tried their deep friend banana fritters, drizzled with a light honey sauce topped with sesame seed. Ice cream is available with it but I opted out as I like my fried bananas with out. Fragrant with vanilla, the dough hot and fresh made to order. The dough covering the banana pieces were thin and not overly filling, just the way it should be for maximum enjoyment. I ate 2 pieces while saving the 3rd for an afternoon snack. I learned that they are currently under new management and that they have plans to renovate bringing the restaurant into modern times. I look forward to it and have planned my return in the near future to try the other dishes on the menu! Definitely check this place out when you’re in the area, its delicious home comfort Thai food!

Waited 1 and ½ hours for food and in the end walked out. Never go to this poorly run establishment.(I would give this a zero rating if it was an option)

What I thought would be a good experience I was quite disappointed. Apps started out good but then we found glass in our soup. Furthermore I was VERY disappointed to be seeing the serving staff drinking alcohol whilst on the job… contributing factor to glass in our soup? Would not recommend this restaurant.

Went: 6:00 pm Sat June 272015(55⁄100) Ordered: Tiger Shrimp Satay(app) and Mango Chicken(main) Cost: incl. tax and tip $ 33 Comments: The peanut sauce that came with the satay was tasty. There were 4 skewers and every piece of shrimp on each skewer was bland. The Mango Chicken was overly salty. We were eating without a lot of rice, but I’m sure if we ordered it in any other restaurant of this type, it would not have been as salty. We didn’t even take the chicken leftovers home because of it. There were no chop sticks which sort of implied the restaurant might be catering to a more western palette. Bottom line: This restaurant was highly rated on TripAdvisor and I was disappointed. It might have been a bad day for the chef, but I won’t be coming back. It might even deserve 2.5 Stars.

I go to Thai Bamboo a lot and today I wanted to try another place. TB is my yardstick for any Thai place but last time I didn’t like their service so I decided to try something else. I ordered my usual dishes — pad Thai and peanut chicken. The food tasted ok. The flavour was not that memorable. I have had better Thai food elsewhere. It’s a bit more expensive than TB. I will not go back.

My cousin suggested this place a while back. This will be my third time here and I have not had one bad meal yet. The staff are very courteous and the food is good. I always have the Thai green curry and a mango salad. Gonna try the pad Thai next. I am never disappointed :)

I love this place. My standard order(even though I can never eat all of it) includes the Phad Thai with chicken(I ask for spicy without bean sprouts since they shrivel if you ever need to reheat); the Mango Fish which is fried and battered snapper with mango salad(excellent); as well as the Grilled Beef(Nue Yang) which I sometimes get two orders of so I can have one for myself and share the rest with my family The Phad Thai is not as good as Salad King’s but I suspect there is nowhere in Toronto or the GTA that is. The Mango Fish and the Nue Yang I could eat once a week. I really wish I could pay a fee and have them teach me how to cook these dishes. My only gripe with this place is they are not always open when they say they are going to be which can be very frustrating at times.

This place has amazing Thai food that I ever eat. The pad thai I ordered is tasty, sour and sweet enough. My sister had Tamarin Beef. The lunch special also offer you a spring roll or soup or mango/apple salad. In addition, the waitress is super nice to both of us. It was pretty good experience

2.5 Star I love Siamese Thai’s Friendly and courteous service with a smile! However the food was just so so… Lunch Special Weekdays till 3 pm. I ordered Chicken Thai Spicy Noodle with a side Mango Salad($ 8.95). Mango Salad needed some more herbs and dressing to add more taste. Quite a few piece of mango was so riped and mushy which I just could not made myself to eat that. Chicken Thai spicy Noodle requested extra spicy was pretty good, I do love all those fresh basil leaves used. That white thick plastic table cloth was dirty and sticky, maybe it is to replace them to something else?!

The service here was great, and the staff are always friendly, but the food is just okay. I always ordered the Chicken Pad Thai, and found it a bit bland and tasteless. The dish itself was very dry. I would like to try some other dishes at this restaurant, so I may make a return visit in the future.

Came to is place a few times, I must say its a hit or miss. Often when I do eat here, the atmosphere is nice and inviting, servers are nice, food is good, everything is great. Than the next time I pay a visit… It’s like a whole new kitchen staff has been replaced, the food from good to not do great. The food can sometime taste like plastic? The chicken In my pad Thai became rubbery and uneatable. I don’t recommend this place at all, better luck at some next Thai restaurant Good luck!

AMAZING lunch deals!!! I’m not leaving Toronto go to to this place for lunch or anything, but if you work in the area, this is a great option(even for vegetarians!!!). All lunch specials come with spring roll, mango salad or soup!!!
