Absolutely nasty and expensive.
Ordered the seafood noodle, 21$ with only broth and 1 shrimp and one nasty, cheap oyster, no vegetables !! Are you serious?!

Fish cake was rubbery and old, disgusting taste and thats how they packed it in a togo plastic bag!

Wasted my money, would never go back!!
Even the spot is nasty like a hole in the wall with nasty food !!

Loved this place, their lunch special is a great value! I had the orange chicken and it was well worth it, portions were excellent and the food was amazing! They were very friendly too

Diner Review №4

Pat and her sister do an amazing job running Siamese Express. The food is delicious and the prices are more than fair. My favorite Thai restuarant between Laguna Niguel & Aliso Viejo.

Diner Review №5

I was a long time customer in the early 2000's and moved back recently. Siamese Express is still my absolute favorite Thai restaurant ever. They are a family owned restaurant that makes me happy every time I order. Big fan of their Pad Thai and Panang Chicken Curry.

Diner Review №12

I visited this place in April and I will never go back. My girlfriend and I were charged before we dined in. Another party paid after they dined in. We didn't tip because we tip based on service. We received bad treatment from manager - example: when we asked for water she brought it to us with a attitude and left it on the corner of the table and didn't even say anything.

She later complained that I didn't give her a tip.

THATS THE PROBLEM ....PEOPLE THINK TIPS ATE AUTOMATIC

TIPS EQUALS GOOD SERVICE.

THEY LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER

Tried this place for the first time and was not disappointed. I frequent all the Thai restaurants in the area and this place is just as good if not better than all I have tried. I will definitely be going back.

Diner Review №14

My visit was during one of those nights I couldn't decide on what I wanted for dinner. Between pizza, indian food, and asian, I decided to try #SiameseExpress. It's like a mom and pop local place. My first time and was told I had a 30-minute wait because they had a long list of orders and short staff that night. I was a bit disappointed but the lady asked how many I would order. Because it was my first time there and only two orders, the lady said she would see what she could do and that made the difference for me. If I wasn't accommodated, I knew I would be back to try again since the long list of orders tell me it was a good sign to go back. Sure enough, the pad thai and this beef with peanut sauce (I forgot the name) were great choices. I'll be back for sure.

We love Siamese Express! We order take out about once a week from here. I’m happy to support them and glad to see they’ve kept up their quality through the pandemic!
Favorite dishes are the red or green curry, pad Thai, and our kids love the Chicken skewers(they call them chicken lollipops)

Great food, great service

Diner Review №24

The worst thai food I have ever eaten. I ordered pad thai with chicken and fish cakes. The fish cakes are ok but pad thai was a major disappointment. The pad thai was very very salty and I ordered a chicken and surprised to find 1 piece of something else that is not chicken.

I had to move pretty far away from this spot a few months ago, but will always stop by when in the neighborhood. This place is delicious and I’ve never had anything on the menu that disappoints. Reasonably priced and large portions

Diner Review №28

Delicious food with generous portions and friendly service. I have yet to dine-in, but they have a nice patio. This restaurant is very conscious of public health amid the public health crisis. Take-out is a breeze!

Diner Review №29

I'm pretty basic with Thai food, I always get Pad Thai but it was really tasty. We were the only people there, so folks need to go out and support this place. All three of us enjoyed it food and would gladly go back.

I’m starting to try different Thai food Restaurants and my friend has recently told me about this place! I came at around 2:40 pm and the door was closed even it was supposed to be open until 3:00 pm, but the owner was so nice to open the door and offered me to go, I got the yellow curry chicken and have to say it was amazing, it has this little sweetness combined with curry flavor and spice that makes it perfectly delicious! I enjoyed it! Comes with a drink as lunch special for $8.99, I mean hey great value (includes soup and salad when you dine in)

Diner Review №69

Very good food, come thai it out!

Diner Review №70

Always really fresh tasting. Simple and delicious.

Diner Review №71

Under new ownership ordered satay and of Thai , uncooked chicken , sour pad Thai with lot of lemon , horrible . If you can't cook pad Thai , why buy a Thai restaurant

Diner Review №72

I ordered Chicken curry potatoes for to got. I got a 300ml cup and a take away small box. The cup was mosly curry soup and somewhere on the bottom u fish for RIDICULOUSLY SMALL amount of chicken. The white box was white rice. Waste of 8$ for few bites of cheap food.
I was PISSED but was already on my way, so just had to warn the rest of you: this place is a JOKE. Better go to Panda Express, which for the same amount you get WAY more deliciouw food and x5 larger quantity.

Diner Review №73

Pad See Ew Greasy. If you cant make the simplest of Thai Dishes, not worth eating much else. It is hard to find good Thai food in South OC. Others rating this place high might not have access to homeade Thai food or eaten in areas where good Thai food is abundant - such as in North Los Angeles.In either case save some $ and stomach and eat elsewhere - which is hard to say since I am a firm believer of helping out your local small business owner.

Diner Review №74

Best pad thai I've ever had. Used to eat here regularly.

Diner Review №75

Our go-to lazy-day spot!

Diner Review №76

Love the spring roll

Diner Review №77

Very clean restaurant. The food is full of flavor, it is freshly prepared and cooked when you order. The yellow curry with chicken, tofu & onions is something I order every time. The food can be very spicy if you want it to be. The Thai peppers that are used have much more flavor and spice than the ones used at other restaurants.

Diner Review №78

FANTASTIC PADTHAI..

Diner Review №79

I tried the lamb larb. I love this place already: when you ask for it hot, they don't mess around! You don't get mild or half done.

Diner Review №80

This place is really good. I really like their Thai Curry

Diner Review №81

I love the Bamboo Curry. I think its number 58 on the menu. Its like crack LOL One Sunday I went back twice in one day.

Diner Review №82

I had the Pad Seew and the Barbecue chicken for take out. They were both very good, with generous portions. The wait for the take out was not long, and the woman and man behind the counter were very courteous. Will definitely come back!
