Diho Siam Restaurant Mission Viejo

I popped in here on impulse for lunch. I grabbed a menu and found a booth. The server brought me ice water right away and greeted me with a friendly smile. The place is clean and has plenty of light from the front windows. I ordered the 8 piece appetizer and yellow curry with tofu. The server immediately brought me a nice bowl of the Thai interpretation of chicken noodle soup. Chicken broth, chicken, bean sprouts, and wide rice noodles garnished with green onions. I was hungry so I gobbled it up. It's exactly the kind of soup I'd want if I had a cold. My appetizers came out quickly. The server thoughtfully brought me some hot sauce. The plate included 2 chicken satay skewers, two vegetable egg rolls, two potato dumplings, and two shrimp dumplings. All of the appetizers were good, but I especially liked the potato dumplings dipped in a bit of hot sauce. The yellow curry with steamed rice was good. Not especially spicy. I enjoy it because it's the Thai version of potatoes and gravy. For me, it's comfort food. It was nothing incredible, but it hit the spot. I overheard a couple of the other diners chatting. One diner asked the other what he recommended. He said he particularly liked the cashew chicken and was diving into his meal with gusto. The lunch portion of curry and appetizer plate was about $28 and I had plenty to take home for lunch tomorrow. RECOMMEND

A friend of my wife recommended this restaurant to us a while back. We have gone here many times and got take out. This is the first time we have been able to go and dine in. There are available tables inside and outside the restaurant. All staff were wearing masks, and everyone was very nice. They serve so much food that I brought half of it home for lunch the next day. Everything tastes fresh, and I have never had a bad meal here. The cost of each meal is very good for the portion size. I highly recommend eating here.
