Khao Soi
Matt M.

Shhh...don't tell anyone, but the best Thai food in a town full of great Thai places is a quaint little joint hidden in a weird little strip mall on a hill on a road between Asheville and Weaverville. It's worth finding it. I'm only letting this secret out because I want them to make all of the money. I haven't had an unenjoyable dish, but I will say their Tom Kha, Khao Soi, and Pad Z Ew are the toppest of the top notch. The basil noodle dish is excellent, and the pumpkin curry is so, so good. Even better, the service is friendly and attentive. Tips - Ask for the hot chili oil. Do not order anything Thai hot. I like it hot, but their hot is hot enough to make you question your decisions and decision making processes- don't go Thai hot. You're welcome.

Appetizer of crispy spring rolls filled with minced chicken and served with a sweet chili dipping sauce
Tony S.

This place is tucked away in a little strip shopping area at the top of a hill off of Merrimon, so you won't see it from the main road, but it's definitely worth the little trip up the hill. Nothing fancy, but the staff are very nice and efficient, and the food is very good and reasonably priced. They seem to get a lot of repeat customers (including my son) and they know and acknowledge them when they come back in. I would give them a 4.5, which I rounded up to 5 in this case instead of down to 4. I'll note why I didn't give them exactly a 5. First, we started with the crispy rolls, which are long, straw-like spring rolls filled with minced chicken and deep fried to crispy, golden perfection. They were very tasty and crispy (as the name says) and the dipping sauce was quite good, too (not overly sweet, with some chilis included). For our entrees we had the pumpkin curry (medium hot) with chicken and the tamarind duck (medium hot). The pumpkin curry was excellent. Serving size was ample (we had some left to take home) and there was plenty of tender chicken as well as a nice selection of vegetables cooked to just where they have a little crunch left (not soggy/overly cooked). The sauce in particular was really good. At medium heat level, it had just the right amount of heat at the finish of each bite. The boneless duck breast in the tamarind duck was seriously good -- one of the best servings of duck I've had in an Asian restaurant in ages. The skin somehow stayed nice and crispy even in the sauce. My one nit was that the soy sauce base used for the tamarind sauce was a little too intense and salty. But overall, because of the duck itself, this was a solid entree as well. The white rice on the side was as you would expect in an Asian restaurant (i.e., it had some stickiness to it, with overall good flavor). The one other nit I have is that the cart they use for dirty dishes was visible and maybe a little too close to where customers dine. That could explain the health dept score of 95, which is not bad, but not as high as many restaurants in Asheville that are in the 97 or above range. Overall, a solid Thai restaurant run by a nice family serving above average Thai food. Like my son who gets takeout from here quite a lot (he recommends the spicy fried rice with chicken), it's definitely a place to come back to again when the craving for Thai food hits.

Some friends and I were in town on vacay & decided on Thai for dinner. What a great little find this was! The Panang curry was super flavorful. I had it with tofu which was alright but have had better, but the curry sauce was so delicious that it didn't really matter about the tofu. Also at the table was salmon fried rice, chicken vegetable stir fry, cashew chicken, and chicken curry. Everyone ate til either their bellies were full or their plates were empty! Would definitely come back!

3 years later...still a great dinner. Fabulous service. I would recommend you give it a taste.

Happy Thai Food Fans!

This off the radar Thai restaurant is a gem. The authentic Thai foods are exceptional, well prepared, and delicious. This restaurant deserves 5 Ambience (Comfortable) Service (Excellent) Food (Excellent and Authentic)

Massaman curry
Stefanie L.

Enjoyed my meal at Siam Thai! They were able to accommodate our larger party without us having a reservation and the service was good. I got massaman curry and thought it was fine. Not the best I've had but still enjoyable. I did find the portion sizes to be a bit small but overall had a great time.

We ordered (for take out): * Thai Chicken Wings - Fried and Glazed w/House Spicy Chill Sauce which were very good * Thai Fried Rice - Stir Fried Rice w /Egg, Tomato, Carrot, Scallion and chicken was great * Papaya Salad - with Green Papaya, Carrot, Tomato, Green Bean, Garlic, Calamari, Shrimp w/Chili Lime Dressing and Crushed Peanuts - also good * Yellow Chicken Curry - Coconut Milk, Thai Yellow Curry Paste, Potato, Onion Carrot, Tomato - thumbs up * We had one more undefinable dish that was the best of them all. Suwana's was quite good and I would definitely come back!

I highly recommend the Thai Fried Rice dinner with chicken. I had it at heat level three. Absolutely fantastic! The service was great! And your food is cooked by an authentic Thai cook. So you're not getting any of that American recycled crap. I don't know how this place doesn't have five stars, but I'm giving it five stars. What's wrong?

This place is a little hard to find even walking down the sidewalk in front of it in West…read moreAsheville. But it's definitely worth looking for! Like most places in West Asheville, it's a little on the funky side in terms of ambiance. But that just adds to the authenticity, as I felt like I was in some little beachside cafe or alleyway cafe someplace in Thailand. The staff here are very friendly and efficient, even with the place being packed on a Saturday evening. We skipped appetizers and headed right into entrees, which was a good thing, because the serving sizes here are more than ample (we had leftovers sharing two entrees between two of us, and we actually ate plenty at the restaurant). I like beer with spicy food and their beer selection was pretty limited, but I tried one of their Thai beers and it was very good and went great with our food. We had to try their massaman curry (with chicken), as it's sort of a standard for me, like lasagna in an Italian restaurant. It was served more like a ramen, as the curry sauce was thin-ish (not watery though, just not like some curries). But the sauce was so tasty we did eat some of it with a spoon. It included potatoes, carrots and a few other veggies on top, along with some ground peanuts (which I've never had served on top of massaman curry before -- they were a good complement). It came with a side of white rice (average). We also had the pad see-ew (with chicken). I hate it when the noodles in dishes like this are tough or chewy but the ones here were wonderful -- just the right texture. Again the sauce was amazing, a semi-sweet black soy sauce that had sort of a smoky flavor. A good mix of veggies were tossed in with the noodles and chicken. We ordered both dishes at a spice level of 3 (out of 5). Good spicy, but I might even go with 4 next time, as 3 was not all that spicy. As I noted, there were leftovers and they reheated well. So two meals out of one visit. They have a pretty extensive menu, so we'll definitely be back to try other things. I'd have to say this Thai restaurant was quite a bit different (in a good way) than any other Thai restaurant I've been to (and I've had a lot of Thai food over the years). I don't know if that means it is more authentically Thai whereas other places Americanize their food somewhat, or this particular chef just has her own cooking style of Thai food. Whichever, the seasoning or mixture of spices in the dishes here was excellent.

It was highly regarded before that, and offers to make many of its menu items vegan. I was a tad disappointed that the bar promised some non-alcoholic hop water options but didn't seem to have any in stock, which may relate to the storm as well. This food truck, however, delivered the goods. It is not a speedy process, and when I tried visiting before they sold out of food before the end of the day so I came early this time. They give you a buzzer so you can wander around and order drinks. When my tofu arrived, it was mouthwatering. The amount of rice was quite large, but this was some aromatic rice, and the tofu itself tasted like high quality stuff and was bathed in an herbal, spicy flavor that I imagine is about as close to Thailand as you could get in Asheville. It was a lot of money for a modestly sized disposable bowl of food, but the quality merited a visit. I doubt I could have found myself eating anything more delicious. And yet, their other menu options remained on my mind.

When customers complained about lengthy waits and having to leave for work, I asked about our order and was told--with zero apology--to "come back in 30 minutes." The owner then shoved a long list of orders in my face to justify the delay. I returned 30 minutes later, only to be brushed off with a flippant "5 more minutes" without her even asking for my order name. After waiting over an hour and a half, I left entirely empty-handed. Basic accountability and an apology would have changed everything, but the owner was profoundly rude and unprofessional. Such a disappointment.
