Siam Cafe? Are you kidding me??
I asked the concierge at my hotel for a good Thai restaurant in Cleveland. He said Siam Cafe. This is not a Thai restaurant, despite the name, it is a Hong Kong style restaurant with a few choices on the menu that allow them to call it Asian fusion. It is not. I saw a Pad Thai dish and Vietnamese spring rolls on the list. 95 percent of the items on this menu are basic Chinese cuisine items. No problem-I love Cantonese cuisine.
I ordered the beef brisket wonton noodle soup. Usually pretty basic fare at a place like this, even with the Thai moniker. This is what I got. The beef brisket consisted of big chunks of pure fat. Disgusting. I get that a lot of people prefer a bit of fat with their brisket, as it adds flavour. But this is what they served me. I took the 'brisket' out and put it on a separate dish so I could eat what was left. The waiter made no comment when he saw it, just handed me the bill. Awful.
