Siam Thai Cuisine

Either I am very picky about Thai food, or it is hard to come across exceptional and authentic Thai just about anywhere you go.  I know in the past 15 years, I've only really liked four places - until now!  How lucky are we in Coppell to have Siam Thai Cuisine right here?

This place is in the Tom Thumb shopping center on S. MacArthur and Beltline.  It has a few tables for dining in, however, we've always gotten it to go.

They have great lunch specials between 11:00 am and 2:30 pm, with something for everyone.   The dinner menu includes what is on the lunch menu plus a great deal more.  They have something for everyone.  I've had quite a few of the different choices, but will highlight some of my favorites.

For appetizers you cannot go wrong with the Crispy Spring Rolls.  Exactly what you would come to expect, and done to perfection.  Another good choice is the Thai Satay (with chicken or Tofu).

If you want a salad, I would say the house salad is very good.  You might also try the Spicy Noodle Salad.

I love the hot and sour soup - because you get that great combination of flavors - do not miss ordering this.

For the main entree - you have to decide what you are in the mood for.

If you want a rice dish - the Thai Spicy Basil is a favorite (Shown below):





You want fish?  Then any of the catfish entrees are worth a try!  Noodles?  Go no further than the Pad Thai!  Is Curry your flavor?  Then you could go with either the Panang or Green Curry dish.  You could also try one of the Chef's specials, be it the Crispy Honey Chicken, the Spicy Beef, or the Basil Duck.  You really can't go wrong.

Want something like simple fried rice?  They have several varieties of that as well, from traditional to Crab Fried Rice!

I've not ever gotten dessert, but have been tempted by the fried ice cream.  Maybe next time!

In any case - I've not had anything bad from Siam Thai Cuisine, and I'm picky about my Thai food.  Do yourself a favor and try this place.  It is a regular place for me - it could become a regular place for you too!

Coming in 2015

I know this blog has seen few and far between posts.  Be on the lookout in the coming months for the following posts:  Ole's Tex Mex, Anamia's, Black Walnut, Victor's Wood Grill, and Siam Thai.  I've eaten at all these places recently and am now working through each post.

New restaurants have or are coming to Coppell - I'll visit them soon!

Also - I'm going to expand to areas outside Coppell (like Flower Mound, Grapevine, Addison, Las Colinas, and Carrollton) too....hope to post at least one review a month in 2015.

Happy 2015!
