Siam Station Cupertino

Pros :
1. Food was delicious. We ordered entree: pad ke mow (8/10), tom kha (8/10), appetizer: fried tofu (7/10), chicken satay (6/10), dessert: mango sticky rice (7/10), drink: thai ice tea (7/10).
2. Staffs were friendly and responsive.
3. Price was reasonable.
4. Dishes were served promptly.
5. Payment system was modern tech and prompt.

Cons:
1. Music was too loud and too noisy. It ruined the eating joy ambience. We had to a bit shouting when talking.
2. The dish serving sequence was backward. Dessert came first, then the main course, and the last was the appetizers. So why bother to put it in the menu?

We got the Thai Boat Noodle, Chicken Satay, Pad Kee Mao & Thai Tea. Mangoes ran out :( so they gave us the sticky rice & sweet roti for free (they felt bad that the noodle soup took a while) but hey im not complaining 🤓.

Service was amazing 10/10, everyone working there looks young and they were respectful! Would definitely go back there for everything that I had except for the Pad Kee Mao (could’ve had more flavor, but still a good 6.5/10).

Thai Boat Noodle (8.5/10)
so much protein & the soup was amazing!
Chicken satay (8/10)
They made the chicken breast real juicy and marinated it so well!
Thai Tea (10/10) good stuff.
Sweet Roti (10/10) damn, this was so crispy with a great amount of condensed milk drizzled all over!!! Wish they had an option to add bananas :3

Pretty good new thai place! We ordered:

Shrimp rolls: it's actually a whole shrimp wrapped in the eggroll, not bad if you like shrimp. My sister liked it.

Pad Thai with Crispy Pork: not super sweet/ketchupy like some other places which was a huge plus for us. I HIGHLY recommend the crispy pork as the protein. It's super crispy and adds a great contrast in texture to the noodles.

Green Curry with chicken: with curries I usually like to order them with chicken and they didn't disappoint. It had the perfect amount of spice and was super flavorful and fragrant. Though I felt it was too little rice for the amount of curry. I guess it's good to have some leftovers.

Kua Kai with shrimp: this was okay, probably my least favorite out of the 3 main dishes we tried. The best part about it was the soup which was very creamy and flavorful but the noodles were a bit too soggy for my taste. I'll definitely enjoy the soup at home with some rice though!

Thai tea: your standard Thai tea, good if you like Thai tea!

Good food, reasonable price. The Pad Thai noodle texture is really good. Very flavorful Thai tea. Will definitely go back.

Currently it's still a soft opening, so take my criticisms with a grain of salt.

I would rate this place a 4.5 if I could, some of the problems are easily fixable and perhaps this place can be higher rated in the future.

Highlights: food came out fast and fresh, and I was quite happy with the flavor and quality of ingredients in both of the dishes I ordered. (beef Ka Pow and papaya salad). Very acceptable portion sizes.

This Thai place is not super traditional in decor and appearance, despite what the sign would have you think. (also "Street food" in the sign? all the food is just food you'd find in any other Thai restaurant. I appreciate the pared down menu but let's not pretend the food here is different somehow)

There are no chilis/sauces/condiments on the table, though I assume all are available if you ask for it. There is also only mild/medium/spicy for their dishes, instead of a 1-10 system or a scale that included "Thai spicy". I ordered a dish spicy and I would estimate its only a 6-7 out of 10 for spiciness.

Other criticisms: The rice came out dry, presumably it had been sitting around for too long. This is too basic of a mistake for a restaurant to make, but it's the soft opening so I hope they can fix it in the future.

Service was just okay, and their payment systems were having trouble processing orders. Again, fixable, so no real points docked off.

Overall, a welcome addition to the area. Run by Chinese people and not the most traditional, but the food was excellent and I will definitely come back.
