Two trips in and I am happy to say there is finally good Thai food in Tallahassee!
Siam Sushi is right next to the Lake Ella Publix in the old Hopkins Eatery Location. Since the name is Siam SUSHI with “Authentic Thai” in small letters underneath, I was prepared to be underwhelmed. Met a buddy for lunch and decided to try the basics. Steamed Spring Rolls, Pad Thai and Thai Ice Tea. The Peanut dipping sauce for the spring rolls was the perfect peanut flavor without just tasting like watered down peanut butter. The Thai Ice tea was creamy and full bodied and the Pad Thai was right! It was fresh and the flavor was excellent.

I know the Miso Soup is not Thai but it was good!
Tonight I returned with Jessi. We started with a big bowl of Tom Kha- Creamy Coconut milk soup and Hiyashi Wakame- Cold seaweed salad marinated in sake. I know the Wakame is Japanease but it sounded great and it was a larger portion that you usually get in a Sushi restaurant- I could taste the Saki and there was a sprinkling of flying fish row on top.
The Soup exceeded our expectations-there were Thai mushrooms and real lemongrass in the bowl. Rich and creamy, it is the best we have had since coming back to Tallahassee. Jessi liked the fresh cilantro and chopped scallions on the top.
For dinner Jessi ordered an Ivory Roll, Chicken tempura, cream cheese, avocado, asparagus, wasabi lime mayo. It was big and very tasty- she was happy. I got the Basil fried rice with chicken- Oh my! The smell of fresh Basil was amazing. It was very well seasoned and is so beyond is description of fresh basil, onions, bell peppers and carrots.
Next time I’m trying the Panang curry!

We went tonight and it was delicious. He has the Tom Kha soup best I have had in Tallahassee for sure. Then the Red Curry was tasty too.
Sounds great! You should try RheangThai behind Calico Jacks on CC NE. It is also amazing. The owner/chef is there every night. Their redfish dish is amazing. Wife loves the masaman curry and their home made cocoanut ice cream is delish.
We ate at Siam Sushi today (1-1-13) and the food was good. However, the service was down right terrible. The waiter lead us to the table and just tossed the menus on the table and waked away. When he came back, sometime later, my wife asked what the lunch specials were. The waiter just pointed outside to to the board on the walk outside (where it could not be read inside) and did not even offer to let her know what they were. It did not get any better. Even though the food is reasonably good I will never eat there again. They just dont seem to need anymore business.
