| - Back in the mid-1980s when I first came to AZ, I used to go to Siam a lot. I was stationed at Luke AFB and my boss out there was friends with the gentleman who owned the place and his wife, who was from Thailand. It was my first exposure to the joys and wonders of Thai food and I have been hooked every since. Sadly, I did not go back after my friend left Luke and it was over 25 years since I last stepped foot into the place. I have eaten at several other places which were mediocre at best, and I said many times to my family, "You know, we should go to the Siam". We did not, only because it is a bit of a drive. I went back last night. WHY DID I STAY AWAY SO LONG!! It has not changed from the way I remember it. The service was first class, the food was out in less than 15 minutes, piping hot and was by far THE BEST Thai food I have had outside of Thailand - I have been in Thailand several times and eaten off the street vendors. The egg rolls were crispy and fresh and tasty and hot. I had Thai spicy rice noodles with fresh basil and the flavor was amazing, it was fresh and dripping with flavors. My son had the pad Thai and was in love. The portions were large, and for two of us with full bellies it was $26 and some change. I will be taking my wife there really soon. This time, I won't be staying away for so long.
