My visit was during one of those nights I couldnt decide on what I wanted for dinner. Between pizza, indian food, and asian, I decided to try #SiameseExpress. Its like a mom and pop local place. My first time and was told I had a 30-minute wait because they had a long list of orders and short staff that night. I was a bit disappointed but the lady asked how many I would order. Because it was my first time there and only two orders, the lady said she would see what she could do and that made the difference for me. If I wasnt accommodated, I knew I would be back to try again since the long list of orders tell me it was a good sign to go back. Sure enough, the pad thai and this beef with peanut sauce (I forgot the name) were great choices. Ill be back for sure.

I used to love this place. I would frequent almost every Friday after work. I would order my favorites to go & was always greeted by this super nice, smart, & efficient woman at the cash register. It would always take 15 minutes & ready within that time. As soon as I would come in, she would recognize me & have my food ready. That was then! They must have changed management because this woman is gone. The people at the cash register are utter incompetent. Once I order & came back in 15 minutes only to be told my order wasnt yet ready. I noticed five or six bags on the counter getting cold but assume none were mine. After another 15 minutes went by, I asked again about my order. Low and behold, it was on the counter getting ice cold! I was none too happy, but chalked it up to an honest mistake. I came back in a week, order the same thing, & return in 15 minutes. It wasnt ready! I asked them to check the packages, but none were mine. It took another 15 minutes (full 30 minutes) for my order to come out! Chicken fried rice! Again, I chalked it up to an unusual event. But when the 3rd and 4th visits provided me with similar results (late food, cold food, & utter incompetence at the counter), I demanded my money back & never will never frequent this place again!
