| - This place is SO good!!! Si Lom was an extremely pleasant surprise. Since I'm from Thailand, I have extremely high standards when it comes to Thai food, and not many places seem to fit the bill.
I came here for my brother's birthday lunch and we ordered a ton of food to share. We started off with the Som Tam with Salted Eggs, the Ocean Wings and the Nam Tok with Pork Jowl. Flavours are completely on-point here! I would order all three dishes again. We also ordered the Leng Tom Zab, which is a Thai Spicy Pork Bone Soup. Trust me when I say this is as tasty and spicy as the ones we used to eat in Thailand. They don't dumb down the spice levels here at all, which I truly appreciated. For our mains, we shared the Pad Thai with Soft Shell Crab and the Khao Soi with beef. The Pad Thai with Soft Shell Crab wasn't my favourite; I felt it was a bit sweet for my tastes, but I appreciated the huge soft shell crab that comes in this dish. The Khao Soi was super yummy, but I prefer the noodles that they serve with the Khao Soi over at Sukhothai. I also prefer Sukhothai's curry sauce, but that's just a matter of personal preference.
Having said that, I would totally come here again. Si Lom offers a lot of truly authentic Thai dishes that aren't offered at most of the other Thai restaurants, and they do them well!
