Siam Orchid Thai Japanese - Melbourne

The service was remarkably fast and professional. The food was truly outstanding. I can hardly believe that this amazing diner has been so close to me all along! It's important to support this fantastic local business. Food: 5/5

My husband ordered the Pad Thai, while I opted for the pineapple duck. Unfortunately, it was the worst food I've ever had. This doesn't qualify as Thai cuisine; it's a disgrace to that name. I tried my best to eat, even grabbing the extra chili container from the counter, but the chopped chilies soaked in vinegar were stale and old, making the rice taste unpleasant. The duck was raw on the inside and overly crispy on the outside, and the sauce was nothing but sugar. The pineapples were certainly not fresh, and the Pad Thai had a burnt flavor. Although there was a lunchtime rush when we ordered from the lunch menu, serving food that tastes this bad is simply unacceptable.

The restaurant was large and bustling during lunchtime. The service was quick. While my Tom Yum Chicken soup was just decent, the Pad Woon Sen was full of flavor.

It’s getting harder to find proper Asian cuisine in this area. Chinese has gotten so bad we won’t buy any so now Thai cuisine is our go to for quality and delicious Asian take out. I have been eating here for over 5 years and they have maintained the good taste and quality with their food. We normally get pad Thai, pineapple curry fried rice and chicken fried rice. Not the cheapest but the servings are hearty and again it tastes better than just about any other Asian cuisine in the area so plenty of value for money and about average cost for Thai cuisine anywhere. Top notch but some may find the pad Thai oily but I don’t mind. Will continue to take out from here. More so now than in the past.

Excellent food and very friendly service. Will definitely come again when I am in the area.Food: 5/5
