My typical go-tos are: [Apps] soup dumplings, shiu mai, spicy wontons, vegetable spring roll, shrimp and vegetable pot stick, shrimp dumplings; [Soups] fish rice noodle, spicy fish rice noodle, spicy seafood, Shanghai wonton, shrimp and pork wonton, beef (I forget what it's called - it's the #1 ordered one there); [Mains] beef chow fun, fish fillets with scallions, salt and pepper pork chop, salt and pepper fish, fish fillets in wine sauce, young chow fried rice, and the standard chicken and broccoli. All delish! I think I've been going there long enough as to where they probably know it's me when I call in an order. Highly recommend for authentic Chinese food.

My fiancé had a sour beer that tasted like sangria and I had a sour beer that was a take on mango sticky rice (such a unique beer). My fiancé had a fruity white lager that tasted a bit like a margarita. I had the patty melt with onion rings (up charge) and my fiancé had the steak sandwich with steak fries. Heads up their steak fries are actually potato wedge; still tasty but a pleasant surprised. Both of our sandwiches were delicious. The steak sandwich came with a delicious garlic aioli. Our server was great. She mentioned that a lot of their beer is from Icarus brewing in Lakewood and suggested we check it out. We don't live too close but if we're ever in the area we'll be sure to come back. A lot of the beers were calling my name. A great local place. It's located on a somewhat busy street with street parking but there's a municipal about a minute walk.

I'm a huge fan of their soups, whether it be the chicken noodle, split pea, broccoli and cheese, or my personal favorite their lentil soup. The grape leaves are also a personal fav and I'm always ordering for pick up because it's on the way home and their always fast with my orders. Sometimes it gets really busy and you have to play phone tag to reach them, but that's ok, their worth the call back a few times before getting through. Highly recommend if you're in the area. The gyros and/or platter is also very good, my husband gets it all the time, just be sure to ask for the fries extra crispy, because then they're perfect.

Siam smiles is a local popular Thai restaurant in the Neighbourhood area. They are very fast and…read morefriendly. They have all of the classics that you could ask for in Thai food. And the menu comes in a little pre-designed book that they have. I ordered the pad thai, pad see ew and Thai tea. If you're not as familiar with Thai food, I highly recommend you can try these as starter dishes. Every Thai restaurant has these as staples. Each dish comes with the option of type of protein or vegetables. They offer chicken, pork, beef and tofu. You can also change the level of spiciness from no spice to mild to spicy. The pad thai was a noodle dish with peanuts on top for crunch and texture as well as a savory sauce. The pad see ew came with thicker and longer rice noodles, and a similar sauce to the pad thai with your stirred in protein. I highly recommend you should try the Thai tea as well. I think that it is just a tasty drink for any meal. Everything was very good and pretty standard. Pricing was also pretty affordable. The interior of the restaurant can seat around 30 people. There are tables adjacent to both sides of the wall of the restaurant - In four seaters. The parking lot is right outside with easy parking in the front and back of the restaurant. It is a very cozy, local place that is a little on the smaller side.

We were quickly and warmly greeted by the young woman working behind the desk. She was finishing up an order and then took ours. I always stick to my tried and true favorite of Thai milk tea with boba. I would give my Thai tea a 4/5- it was tasty, but lacked a bit of the stronger/earthy flavors other Thai teas have. My husband got the pineapple tea. He forgot to request boba, so his was just the drink without the bubbles. I liked the stronger flavor of his tea more than mine. The cups were adorable, with cat shaped covers and ears popping up. If you are heading down the shore and are in the mood for a bubble tea, this is a good option. They also offer tangulu (fruit dipped in crunchy, clear sugar coating). We did not try it this time, but I will definitely be back to give it a taste. Very unique menu item that isn't found in many others places!
