Siam Station Yorba Linda

The Bottom Line Up Front: Siam Station is a relatively new restaurant in Yorba Linda that serves up delicious Thai street food. It's not flawless, but it is now on my go-to list. The Food: I ordered the Khao Soi while my wife got the Papaya Salad; we shared the E-San Sausage. The Khao Soi is an egg noodle served in a creamy yellow curry broth with chicken, red onions, lime, and pickles. It's fast become my favorite Thai food and I often order it as a litmus test whenever I go to a restaurant that's new to me. Fortunately, Siam Station passed the test — the Khao Soi hit the spot! It was satisfying in every way with one exception: it came with literally just a pinch of red onions and pickles in a tiny sauce plate, basically treated like a light garnish. At other places, I normally get a small plate filled with these veggies. I'm not a big fan of papaya, but the Papaya Salad was solid. Most importantly, my wife approved. And we both loved the E-San Sausage, which is fermented ground pork, rice, garlic, and spices. It was served with a generous portion of cabbage, peanuts, and a couple of slices of ginger. The Service: Our server wasn't too friendly but he was polite, knowledgeable, and most importantly efficient. Unfortunately, he was short handed and had just one busboy helping him serve the entire restaurant — which meant we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated even though there was a table open. It also meant that he didn't return too often after we got our meals and we had to flag him down to get help a few times. This is not a knock on our server. After all, it was busy for a Sunday evening. This is really a staffing issue; had management hired just one more server, the customer experience would have been perfect. The Location: It's a smallish medium-sized restaurant so expect a wait if you come during peak hours. It's clean with nice decor and a pleasant atmosphere. The Parking Situation: Apparently Siam Station has several locations, but this particular spot is in Downtown Yorba Linda in a shopping complex beside Club Pilates and Apola Greek Grill and across from the Regal movie theater. There's not a lot of street parking and sometimes the open parking lots get filled quickly, but use the nearby parking structure for free and convenient parking. The Conclusion: Siam Station is a welcomed addition to the revitalized Downtown Yorba Linda, infusing an authentic Asian touch with delicious food at manageable prices in this down economy. My true rating is 4.5 out of 5, but since I can't give half stars I'm happy to round up. It's not perfect, but we will be back to try more dishes!

So happy this new Thai place came to Yorba Linda!! Delicious, fresh, and authentic food. I’m a big fan of how they make the chicken Pad See Ew. The Thai curry soft-shelled crab was spicy, crispy, and scrumptious. Ordering fluffy white rice on the side is a must. The servers are hardworking and kind. It’s a comfortable and cozy restaurant with a bright atmosphere. I’ll definitely be returning here!

Fresh, Flavorful, and Low-Key Thai Gem Really enjoyed their Tom Yum and Pad Thai—both dishes were packed with flavor but didn’t feel overly heavy or loaded with MSG like some other spots nearby. The restaurant is new, so everything was super clean and fresh. It’s tucked away in a quiet strip mall, giving it a nice, low-key vibe that’s perfect for a casual meal. Highly recommend checking it out!
