| - Reading all these good reviews is really making me wonder if I ate at the same place?? Ok, its one thing if a bad time happens once, but 3 times?? C'mon guys, we are talking about the same place off of Arrowood 485, past Walmart?
Here are my experiences, wrapped into one:
The first time I headed there after reading such positive reviews on Yelp back in 2010. I held back writing an ill review because I planned on giving it another try. At the time, I ordered a Red Curry with 4 level spiciness. As always, we were offered the complimentary soup and it was very delish. Light and just enough to make way for the main meal. When the entrees arrived, they were ill-timed. Mine came out waaaaay before my lunch buddy's, which sucked because I always wait to raise my fork. Anyway, it came out a while later and we commenced. The spiciness was right but the saltiness was horrible, just plain horrible. I didnt want to bother because we were crunched of time. I simply squeezed the slice of lemon that was hanging off my glass, and it sort of mellowed it out. I ended up eating only 60% of the curry, because the rice to curry ratio was off.....maybe because of the salt factor? Service was also like the dish----a bit salty :)
Second time I went with my brother who was visiting from college. We decided to try Siam again for lunch and arrived when it was a full house. This time I ordered Pad Thai. When my meal arrived, it was something completely different, no noodles in sight but some kiind of ground meat with some veggies and slices of jalapeno!! I had to wait forever to get the servers attention and when I finally did, he apologized and asked to replace it. Again, I didnt want to kill valuable time so I stuck to whatever it was. It was too spicy for my liking, but whatever. This time too, the service was blah but I understand with a full house that this is expected.
The 3rd and last time I went with my little sister visiting from TX. I had full faith in my fellow yelpers, so we decided on Siam again. Bad idea!! I ordered the Massamun with no spiciness at all and sweet tea. I get the right dish this time, but the tea was unsweetened. No problem, Ill just add some on the table.....I did sweeten it, with sugar packets from 'Bojangles'!!! No lie! I mean the packs of sugar bore the trademark name/design of the chicken fast food place!! How weird, or how creepy? Did someone just walk into a Bojangles and jack all the sugar packs from the tables, Lol, whatever the case is, it still makes me roar with laughter!
Anyway, the Mussamun arrives and again, Im doomed with the saltiest plate! Why?? It always happens to me and its not just me, I made my sister try it and she spit it out in disgust. The nice server apologized and asked to replace it, so I ordered a different item. The Yellow Curry, mild. That was just very ok, nothing flavorful or memorable. All I tasted was basil and coconut milk.....not good.
All in all, I wont ever find myself there again. Bad service, too bold seasoned food and really no redemption for all these missteps.
