| - Siri Thai is a small Thai restaurant in the strip mall on the southwest corner of Windmill and Pecos that has consistently provided good meals for my family. The restaurant is small but we've never had to wait to be seated no matter what time we arrive. The family that runs the restaurant, although usually providing non-engaging, robotic service, has always been kind to us.
There's probably about ten tables in the restaurant with booths along the wall that have pillows which is an interesting touch. Two women usually run the front of the house and they usually get the job done as far as service.
On this visit, we ordered Thai beef jerkey, egg drop soup, tom yum soup with shrimp (spice- 3/5), papaya salad (spice-3/5), the basil crispy pork (spice- 4/5), and mango ice cream sticky rice for dessert. We had no problems with the food and the heat levels were just right for us. My wife likes papaya salad and she thinks Siri's version is one of the better ones. The tom yum soup had a nice sour kick with plenty of large mushrooms and tomatoes. Dessert was a nice surprise for us. Being Filipino, I can eat rice with just about anything, but have never had it with ice cream. This is something I'm going to have to do more often. The warm, sweet rice with cold, tart ice cream was combination that had us finishing the dessert in less than 5 minutes.
Although the food is always consistent, it doesn't separate or elevate above other Thai restaurants in the area. I'm still a fan and it will always be an option for us when we're in the area.
