@siam - City of London,Westminster

Ok place. Staff over attentive and lacking in basic skills. One of them took our order whilst standing behind my chair! Our plates were whipped away while we were eating too! Bizarre! Food average. Nothing special and overpriced. Certainly would not go back.

Spent quite a time today trying to find this restaurant looks like it is now a Russian street food and bar.

To be clear, we happened upon @Siam because other Soho eateries that we had in mind were full. Lowered expectation only added to the satisfaction the many dishes that we shared at the table were without exception quite good light, direct and tasty. What was particularly noteworthy was that they neither dumbed down nor beat you on the head with the spices. The spicier entries were led but not overwhelmed by spice. Therefore, I would particularly reccomend this to anyone with an affinity for spicy curries, etc.. The tempura squid was also greaseless and not chewy.The place itself is small but by Soho standards) clean. I think next time I might go here on purpose. The staff is really Thai, so english communication is not always a strong suit.

A plethora(thats a lot) of restaurants in this areaTried this as a cold walkin with no researchService goodFood really goodIn an area were to be truthful its passing trade i was very impressed

It was uncomfortably warm near the door because a cheap electric heater was blowing straight at us. The table was sticky and the smell of the restaurant was explicit. An investment in table linnen is a must. And cleaning a table, specially when you work with sticky sauses Isn't done with a left over piece of paper tissue as I saw them do several times inbetween services, but with a cloth, water and soap. I know it's not the eastern way but please...how lazy can you get? Anyway the wine, I had an Argentinian Malbec, was good and surprisingly the food was tasty and well balanced in flavour and texture.
