Thai Siam 601 Kasold Drive
↔
If popular downtown Thai joints are leaving your wallet a little lighter than you'd like, check out Thai Siam, 601 Kasold Drive, for your Pad Thai fix. The family-owned restaurant boasts 100 traditional Thai and Chinese dishes, including appetizers, soups, salads, curry dishes, noodles, rice, pork, beef and chicken. Entrees cost $6 to $10 each. The most popular are the curry dishes and Pad Thai. Each dish is made-to-order as spicy as you like, right in front of you with fresh ingredients.
Costumed Thai figurines, Buddhas and framed pictures give the restaurant an exotic atmosphere. If it weren't for the bright yellow booths, you'd never know it used to be a Subway restaurant. Meals are served on blue-flowered china with silverware, which erases any notion of fast food. The next time you crave spicy noodles get them at a at a decent price, head over to Thai Siam.
