Yumme, casual Thai restaurant. Relaxing atmosphere, great beer prices (as Luisa D mentioned) and attentive service. I went around 8 on a Saturday night and had no problem getting a table.
We tried some of the dishes from the Chef's selection menu and were really satisfied. Especially with the pineapple curry, that came served in a pineapple! -

Sampled a handful of dishes from Siam Bistro a few days ago and I can't say I was impressed with any of them.
My fiancee loves the green curry with vegetables which is the only reason we decided to try a larger spread but I do not think I would return.
The Hot and Sour soup was easily the worst I've ever tried and was over powered with fish sauce. It did not have a pronounced flavour and I poured it out after several bites.
Spring rolls tasted like pre frozen and were quite greasy. I don't know if they were home made but there was nothing special about them.
Their pad thai is simply insulting. None of the fresh flavours or textures you would get in a proper pad thai.
The only highlight is the red/green currys but nothing you couldn't make at home.
I was expecting a lot more because there were plenty of people waiting for take out but this place was a major let down. -

This place was good but not REALLY good. The room is really warm and cozy. I love the golden painted ceiling and the simple decor. The servers are all in traditional Thai dress. Their beer prices were good $5 domestic (I had Blanche de Chambly) and the imports were $6 so my mum had Leffe Brune.
We were eight people and the room was hopping busy with servers scurrying around. We started with two orders of spring rolls; one shrimp, one vegetarian. Both the same price ($8) for 5 rolls so I expected the vegetarian ones to be fab. Not so much. The shrimp ones were very meaty. We ordered 6 other dishes. The beef salad and Swimming Rama (sp?) were my favourites. I found the noodles in the Pad Thai a bit soft. We had a beef dish with snow peas (don't know what it was called as I let everyone else pick the dishes) but the beef was very dry, kind of like jerky. Not the greatest texture unless you're in the mood for dry chewy beef I guess.
The service was a bit odd. I asked if they could cut the spring rolls in half as we'd all be trying some of each kind. Apparently they don't do that (?). They brought out a bowl of rice that we passed around and then it got cold sitting on our plates as we waited for the next dish to come out. They never asked if we wanted another drink either.
All in, tax and tip it was $22 per head each with a beer so not super expensive. I think I'd go to the Siam Kitchen next time though. -

It is a luxury to have a friendly, neighbourhood Thai restaurant. And the Siam Bistro has been around long enough to qualify as comfortable and delicious all in one shot.
