There were 20 parties in front of us and it was a bit confusing at first but I luckily quickly noticed the Yelp tablet out front. We ordered the papaya salad, morning glory with crispy pork belly, drunken noodles with beef, khao soi with braised beef, and Chu chee curry with fried catfish. Everything was delicious and authentic and a hit with our party! We left stuffed and with leftovers but I will note the morning glory with crispy pork belly portion was a bit smaller than we've had at other restaurants. Flavors though were all outstanding and my parents are excited to come back again next time! Service was friendly and we found out that next time we can actually still park next door to their lot since it's a pretty small lot out front.

This has been on my wishlist forever but I've never gone until now as the wait is insane! My family…read morewas craving Thai food for dinner so I had waitlisted us for a Sunday night at 6 pm and we were on the waitlist for 1 hour. I definitely wouldn't recommend walk-ins as the waitlist fills up quickly. For drinks, we got the passionfruit smoothie (a special) and thai green tea. They ran on the sweeter side so I had to add a bit of water to dilute but otherwise, pretty strong and tasty! We loved the shrimp fried rice and pad thai but it was a mistake to get it with the pork belly. The pork belly had very crispy skin and the meat itself was super dry. It was hard to chew at times and I ended up not finishing. The pad see ew was a lil salty and greasy but still delicious. It's overhyped imo especially for the long wait but I would say it's good to try if you're a first timer. I'm still on the hunt for my favorite Thai restaurant!

Thai Chaiyo Tustin, is located in a small plaza off 17th street near the 55 freeway. I attended a…read morerecent event here and loved my food, so I decided to bring some people from my family to give them a try. Just like my prior visit, service was very friendly. We were seated right away. The space is narrow and only has several tables for dine-in. I think that there are probably more people who order for pickup because a lot came in to grab their food during our entire visit. It seems they have a good amount of regulars too. Almost like the Cheers bar in MA where everybody knows your name. Kinda nice actually. What we ordered: 1) pad see ew with crispy pork - 5/5. The kids loved this so much we needed up having to order two. 2) garlic salmon - 4/5. Served over a bed of veggies. This one was à la cart so we had to order a side of rice. It's enough for one person. This was covered with garlicky goodness. My son was wanting more. 3) Panang curry - 5/5. Not pictured here. One of our guests started to devour that dish before I could even take a photo. Sadly, they weren't familiar with me wanting to take a picture. The kids were like "oh no. We don't touch our food before the little photoshoot" LOL. Overall, we really enjoyed our food. I'm not in the area frequently, but if I was around and wanted Thai, I would definitely come back for more. Service was great and staff were attentive and friendly. What more could you ask for?

It has a thick, heavy base that's very similar to a soup curry, and the quality of the ribeye was top tier. It was super tender and delicious! 8/10 Egg Rolls - These were just okay. Heads up that they are veggie egg rolls. I didn't actually order them, and I wouldn't get them again next time. 10/10 Thai Ice Tea -This was perfectly sweetened and had a great taste. I would definitely order it again! Mango Sticky Rice - I am not a huge fan of this dessert in general so I will hold off on a personal rating. However, my friend thought it was delicious and finished the whole thing in one sitting! Cost - Pad Thai (Beef) $22.00, Khao Soi Noodle Soup (Sliced Rib Eye Beef) $22.00, Egg Rolls $11.00, Thai Ice Tea $6.00, Mango Sticky Rice $13.00.

I recently visited Thai Favorite Cuisine this last weekend on Mother's Day. We were lucky that we…read moremade reservations for our group because the amount of people waiting to get a table was overwhelming. The waiting list had about 10 groups or so. We did have to wait a good 10-12 minutes for our table even with reservations, but the lady handling the waitlist was so sweet and kept us updated often when a table for us would be available. Once seated, we noticed the plates were an inconsistently cleaned and had to ask for new sets. Our group opted to do family-style dining so we each ordered a dish and we all shared. We ordered: pad thai with shrimp, tom kha with chicken, BBQ ribeye, moo tod, ong choy, spicy crispy fish filet. We also ordered the coconut custard, fried bananas with ice cream, and mango sticky rice for desserts. This restaurant was awarded a 1-star Thai Select so I had high expectations going in that we would be served authentic Thai cuisine. The flavors were definitely well-balanced, well-seasoned, and embodied the essence of Thai cooking definitely pretty authentic. I just have to critique the fried bananas a bit because they came in egg roll wrappers and not the coconut sesame batter that they normally are coated in. Overall, food was good and so cheap that I would definitely stop by again.

Well, I guess it was bound to happen. While my food adventures in OC have largely been successful,…read moreit was inevitable that I'd end up coming across a place that so many folks like that just didn't hit the mark for me. However, I never would've thought that place was going to be Siam Station. After hearing good things about their spot in Cupertino/the Bay Area from several friends, it felt rather fortuitous when we randomly came across their original location - and with no line in sight! Inside, they've got a cozy sort of vibe and it's cool how they have some outdoor tables set-up as well. As for the menu, it didn't seem all that extensive at a glance, but it has all of the staples you'd expect to find among their appetizers, soups, salads, fried rice, stir fried noodles, noodle soups, curry dishes, entrees, and desserts. -- ZESTY WINGS - Deep Fried Chicken Wings Topped with Crispy Basil and Served with Chili Sauce Easily our favorite dish of the night. The wings were really crispy on the outside and oh so juicy on the inside. Even though there wasn't much of the sauce, which was flavorful but not that spicy, it was fine - the wings were still great without it. -- KHAO SOI with Chicken - Yellow Curry Broth with Egg Noodles and Chicken and Served with Red Onions, Lime, and Pickles Ehh...this was okay, I guess. On the plus side, the chicken was tender and I thought the broth was pretty good - not the best I've had, but better than most. That said, I didn't love the egg noodles, especially the crispy ones after they had soaked up the broth. -- PAD KEE MOW (Drunken Noodles) with Crispy Pork - Flat Rice Noodles Stir Fried with Spicy Basil Garlic Sauce, Bell Peppers, Tomato, Sweet Onion, and Thai Basil I was super excited for this, but it was disappointing. The first thing we noticed was how pale it was and, sadly, the taste matched. Whether it be their garlic sauce or some chilis, this needed more. As for the pork, it was definitely crispy, but a few pieces bordered on dry/burnt. -- MANGO STICKY RICE A little hit, a little miss. The mango was fine (decently sweet, soft), but the sticky rice left us a little wanting. Mainly, I didn't love the glob of coconut cream, was it was pretty thick and viscous, which gave the rice a weird texture/coating to it. As far as service goes, it was uneventfully good. Although there was one point where it was hard to hail someone, it was mostly because the restaurant got increasingly busy and one of the servers was trying to help a group sort something out with their order. Otherwise, our food came out relatively quick and the workers were rather efficient with everything. Despite how we left feeling bummed out by our experience, it had more to do with being underwhelmed than the food actually being "bad". Admittedly, we came in with high hopes/expectations from all of the hype we had heard and it probably didn't help that we had gone to Manaao the night before, which is one of my favorite Thai restaurants anywhere. What's more, I wonder if we just didn't get the best that Siam Station has to offer. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to coming back to find out (and potentially writing an update), but perhaps I'll just try my luck at their spot in Cupertino that my friends like so much.

Although the waiter mentioned that there would be some spiciness to both beef dishes, I didn't find them spicy at all. Nevertheless, no complaints regarding the spiciness as the dishes tasted good.

I wish the portion sizes were bigger to the desserts. The staff members were very diligent in serving our table.

I added my group to the waitlist online about 30min prior to us meeting there. After we checked in, it did take about 15-20min to be seated. It is a rather small place.
