Siam Garden

Chaophraya is still the one for me when it comes to Thai cuisine but Siam garden is not too far behind. When I say that I’m talking about the food ofcourse. The menu is ppretty big with probably about a hundred dishes if i was to hazard a guess. If you’re an avid Thai cuisine fan you already know the score as to what is on that menu… you got your satays, green chicken curry, mixed seafood with chilli and basil leaves, hot-​and-​sour beef salad, etc etc What you might not expect if you’ve been here is the strangely named goong bikini (crispy king prawn pancake rolls with sweet-​and-​sour dip), or the Chiang Mai ‘golden sausages, as well as the whole sea bass cooked with lemon grass and tamarind.
The décor again is what you’d expect from a Thai place, slightly cheesy, for me anyway, but welcoming and ambient. If you have already tried Chaophraya then give this a whirl, you’ll be impressed with the quality of the food and service and will be few pennies the wiser.

If your image of an almost city centre Thai restaurant is swish, contemporary and minimalistic — don’t come to Siam Garden. The décor is very traditional, which isn’t necessarily a negative, it just depends on your tastes. The somewhat tacky gold statues etc. are dotted around the place, and the wallpaper is out of this world.
I’ve been here a couple of times, the most notable was on a Friday lunchtime when I popped in for something to eat with a couple of friends. I had two courses for £5 or something silly like that. The food was lovely, exactly what I expected — even if it did arrive suspiciously quicky…

my fave thai restaraunt… fatastic value and great taste, during the day offer a very reasonable buisiness lunch and reasonable evening prices, with the best tampora veg in the world… not very authentic table where, but the food and service definatly make up for it, now moved to hull but each time i vistit liverpool this is the place to eat
