    ok im going to do a new review almost a year on from my last one. i went there a couple days ago…read moreand ended up just ordering different entrees (Prawn Spring rolls, soft shell crab and other stuff), just ended up getting full after many orders. it can get a bit pricey sometimes, but really nice food, service and ambiance.

    I was a bit torn with this review, as I wanted very much to give it 4 stars but settled on 3…read more Here's why... There were only two other customers at peak lunch hour on a Sunday. A couple dining in that had already been served and a man waiting for his take away order. I was warmly greeted upon arrival but had to wait a few minutes before they brought me a menu, so I went to grab my own. They brought over the lunch menu soon thereafter. I was shocked at the prices. $16 for one dish and rice is extra? This was their lunch special? This included many popular items from pad thai, fried rice, curries, etc. Being quite hungry I ordered the Panang curry and Roti bread with peanut sauce. The server asked if I wanted the bread first and I said yes. However, it didn't come until the curry was ready. Finally my meal had arrived and it was really... delicious! I was so pleased at the spice level and flavour of the curry. The Roti was good too. I was however, surprised that the Panang curry was not exactly as described in the menu. I was looking forward to the eggplant which was replaced with green beans and peas, so they should update their menu or at least let you know when ordering. The meal was good but I just think they could work a little more on their serving times and lower their prices for lunch, considering their location. On the plus side, I had enough leftovers for dinner as well. My advice would be, it is not worth the trip here but if you do live nearby, I suggest you go with the takeaway, which another Yelper said was cheaper.

    I love this little thai place. There is certainly no shortage of thai places in Melbourne, but…read morefinding one to go back to over and over again can be difficult. This is that place for me. I first started going here when it opened in 2007, and since then it has gone from strength to strength, even opening up in a bigger, more central location on Springvale Rd. The food is fantastic, and the prices are really good. I particularly love their satay vegetable stir fry with chicken, and their green chicken curry. Possibly the best thing about this place is that they deliver, which is awesome for those nights you just can't be bothered cooking. And lets face it, sometimes going out to pick food up is almost as much work as cooking something.

    I love this restaurant. The food is great and the atmosphere is quaint and the price is…read morefantastic!!! They used to be in a really small little pokey place that only seated around 10-12 people. I would normally just pick up takeaway. But now they have moved to a new location around the corner facing Springvale road a couple doors down from the Discount Chemist. Much more modern setting, but the parking is a bit of a pain as you compete with The Glen shoppers for spots. But well worth the effort. My favourite dish is the Chicken Pad Thai. It has lovely light flavours and the chilli oil and crunchy onion condiments just top this off perfectly. It's a big portion, only costs $10 and I have it for two meals!!!! The staff is quiet, but very polite. Great for sit in or takeaway!

    Siam Village remains one of my top Thai restaurants in Melbourne. I have been there so many times…read moreand I have never been disappointed. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality and size of the serving you receive. The curries are spot on flavour wise. They are not too hot, and have the perfect balance of heat, sweet and sour. The meat is top notch too. My favourite dish is the pad thai. The combination of spices, fish sauce, noodles and vegies is perfect, and I am always left full. There is usually enough left over for lunch the next day too, and it is just as good reheated.

    I would never have expected to find such a nice Thai restaurant at Pinewood. But I have been…read morepleasantly surprised by Siam Village. I'm one of those people who really seeks out the best curries. I'm not too fussed about other Thai dishes. Don't get me wrong, I'll wolf down bucketload after bucketload of pad thai, but it's the curries that keep me interested in a restaurant. The curries at Siam Village are excellent. I usually grab the massaman curry with beef. If you know the dish, you'll know that the potatoes in that dish can really seem a bit underdone at many restaurants. Haven't had that experience here. They're exactly as you would hope. The décor is really quite nice. Although the furniture itself is dark, the whole restaurant seems quite light and airy. I really like the place and will be going back very soon.

The restaurant isn't fancy looking, with signs hand written on all sizes of paper, a/c unit above the front entrance and picnic plastic tables on the inside. People don't seem to care. This place used to be located in Glen Waverley but after hearing a horror story I never went. The move seems to have revitalized the quality and flavour. They do lunch specials and last time I went I was surprised to find a lamington, small tart and blood oranges in my take away bag. I went again yesterday and the place was packed, we decided to sit outside in the cold and wait for a spot. Since it was so busy, we were forgotten outside so I had to go in and order, but honestly I don't expect 5 star service on a busy saturday lunch hour from 2 serving staff. We ordered: combination pad thai, combination spring rolls (half prawn, half pork), double pork chop with rice and my all time favourite salt and pepper tofu! For a huge meal with a box of leftovers, we spent $42 which we thought was very reasonable, the only thing I would change about this place would be for consistent service and better table placement. By the way, you can call up first to order which seems to be the trick as there are very limited spots to sit.
