Pearl of Siam

The kitchen works from spice-forward recipes, though dishes can be prepared without the heat for diners wanting full flavor without the burn. Plates are notably generous, spanning an aromatic Tom Yum soup that packs a noticeable kick even at medium spice, a tangy, well-balanced Pad Thai, and fresh papaya salad. Welcoming service and reasonable pricing round out the setting, keeping the tables busy from opening.
