I don't understand because,,,, The restaurant is beautiful inside. The owner, hostess is such a sweet woman. The waitress was sweet and the food was delicious. For appetizers we shared the fried spring rolls, and Tom Yum soup. The rolls were light and crispy with great taste. The soup was so so delicious. The depth of flavor with the broth was incredible. Only complaint would be to cut the vegetables smaller so they fit on the spoon. I could eat the broth alone it was so good. For entrees we had the Shrimp and Pork Pad Thai. Some of the best Pad Thai I've had. My daughter had the Thai ice coffee which she said was really good. I hope the restaurant makes it. I'd definitely come back when in Red Bank. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.

I knew Red Bank was a cute, bustling town, so I figured that it would be a good spot to find an appealing dining destination. As we were approaching the main street, I noticed Siam Paradise in the corner of an industrial building. We decided to give it a shot, but, as I pulled into the parking lot, we noticed that we barely had any cell service. I was able to see that the restaurant had only a 3.3 rating on Yelp, but I did not have a strong enough connection to dig deeper into why that was the case. I was a bit hesitant to go into the restaurant at that point, but we were already there and parked, so I decided to just try it. Well, I was so happy that I did! The restaurant was elaborately decorated with authentic, traditional adornments, which really added a level of credibility to the potential of the meal. The place was completely empty, which was a bit odd, and the air conditioner was barely perceptible. A ceiling fan helped a bit, but it was definitely on the warmer side, a fact that became increasingly challenging when we started eating our spicy food. Our server was a delight, and the menu offered a substantial variety of sauteed meals. I went with the Eggplant Garlic dish, which included basil leaves, bell peppers, eggplant, string beans, carrots, onions and mushrooms in their Siam Paradise chili paste and a basil garlic sauce. Instead of a protein, I just asked for Mixed Vegetables, which basically only added broccoli to the already veg-forward plate. I also asked to substitute brown rice for the included steamed white rice. My main course was fantastic! The vegetables were all very fresh and perfectly cooked, while the rich sauce was bold, spicy, and delicious. The brown rice was good as well. I also took a bite of my companion's Pad Khi Mau stir-fried flat noodles with bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, string beans, basil leaves, broccoli, and onions in that same Siam Paradise chili paste, but without the basil garlic sauce. It was a similarly tasty dish, but with a bit more heat and less marinade. We were very pleasantly surprised by our lunch at Siam Paradise and would gladly return. However, we would probably do so for dinner, as the food was pretty expensive for lunch.

The food: we started off with spring rolls, very tasty. I then had the Tom Ka Kung soup, what a great surprise. Just the right sweetness from the coconut milk and just the right amount of heat, not too spicy. Then the Panang Lamb arrived. OMG this was an amazing dish. The flavors were amazing. I got it with medium heat and it was perfect. Just the right amount to where you feel it but you want more. The lamb was cooked wonderfully and the vegetables had the right amount of tenderness. Unfortunately there wasn't any room left for dessert. I was surprised how empty it was, but all that meant was we had great service. Maybe the secret isn't out on this place. I will definitely add this to my list when I travel out here again (monthly). Give it a shot, I'm hoping you will be as surprised as I was. I had to give a shout out cause it was really good.

We will definitely be back.

Very disappointing experience. I previously visited this restaurant for lunch (maybe a year ago)…read moreand was seated outside on the patio with my service dog, so I was surprised by what happened during my most recent visit. My boyfriend went inside to ask if we could be seated at an outside table. He mentioned we had a service dog. The young hostess told him that animals were not allowed and that they could not seat us, even outside on the patio. At the time, there was only one other table seated outside, and we were completely willing to sit off to the side in a corner away from other guests. Being told we could not be accommodated, especially after having been seated outside with my service dog during a previous visit, made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. We ultimately decided to leave rather than make the situation uncomfortable for anyone. I understand that restaurants have policies, but the inconsistency between my previous visit and this experience was disappointing. I hope management takes the time to make sure staff understand how to properly handle guests accompanied by service animals. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I don't see myself returning.

Good food, good portions and good value for the price. I'll definitely keep coming back.

The staff and service were as warm and welcoming as ever. The decor hasn't changed much, and it still feels primarily like a takeout spot, although there are several tables if you want to sit down and enjoy your meal. We ordered quite a few things: Indian Plate 3.5/5 The tofu was a little too fried this time and wasn't quite as enjoyable as I remembered. The sauce, however, is still very good. Buffalo Soldier 4/5 Still a solid choice. Their crispy baked tempeh buffalo wings are tossed in hot sauce and served in a wrap. The only thing missing was their creamy ranch, which I completely forgot to ask for. Cauliflower Crunch Wrap 4/5 This was a new addition for us, although we remember seeing it several years ago. My friend said it was delicious. Gluten Free Jam Cookie 3/5 My friend didn't finish it, saying the cookie was a little too dense for her liking. Slutty Brownie 3/5 The brownie portion on top was excellent, but the bottom had a very dense cookie layer that was a little much for us. Tiramisu 4/5 Smooth, creamy, and topped nicely. A very enjoyable dessert. Service 5/5 The staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming, just as we remembered. Overall, it was nice to come back after several years and revisit a place that brought back some good memories. Some things were just as good as we remembered, while a few others weren't quite the same for us this time around.

The server was extremely friendly, truly a standout, warm, attentive, and just wonderful throughout our visit. There was a slightly awkward moment at the entrance: a sign told us to wait to be seated, but no one was there to greet us. Instead, a man behind the bar called out from across the room to ask how many were in our party, then simply told us to "sit anywhere." It wasn't a big deal, but it felt a little off-putting and impersonal. As for the food: The wonton soup had good flavor but was just warm which was disappointing on a freezing cold day when a hot bowl of soup would have hit the spot. The pork bun and dumplings were delicious. The tea was also very good, and the overall service was prompt and efficient. It's a solid place with a friendly atmosphere and tasty dishes. Despite the small oddities, I'd say it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

If all I was reviewing was the salad, this would easily be a 5 star review. Even still, it's a…read moresolid 4 star experience, but here's the deal... I parked in a parking lot, kind of tight, but I got lucky because there's a 15 minute parking limit here. Somehow, I walked right by the store, not noticing the name in their little window. Once inside, there was a bunch of packaged foods, pasta and salads of various types on a central station, and another against a wall. The line moved quickly, but I was kind of overwhelmed because I hate being in other people's way, and they have so many ingredients in some of their salads that it took a while to process. Other items had no label indicating what they are (or ingredients), and you have to find the main tag on the station just beneath the item... but I was rushed. I picked something that sounded decent (Chinese Chicken Salad) and a red bottled juice, squeezed passed the people at the first register and paid at the second one. Back in my car, the salad and its dressing were exquisite. I can kind of see why I paid over $30 for the two items. But Holy crap... I'm not from around these parts. Did I just say over $30? For a salad and a juice? The place is hopping... so I'm really happy for them. Thank God my company pays for my meals when I'm out on the town working, otherwise I could never bring myself to pay that much money for this, as great as it was. But if you've got the money, this is a great place to spend it! I think they'll be in great shape when the business next door moves out and they can double their storefront space and maybe have a few tables.
