Yes, I think the food at Siam Garden is quite good, and if I remember correctly, the menu is much better than Thai Garden. But I haven't been bothered by the MSG at TG -- glad to know about it. Unfortunately, asking for no MSG may not work, because the curries are certainly pre-stewed :(

This might be a bit out of your region of interest, but I like High-Thai at 335 Saratoga, just north of 280.

Agreed.  Good food.  A bit on the expensive side, though.

A caution on Bangkok Garden on Saratoga.  While I've always enjoyed the food here, a coworker had the Dining Experience From Hell (surly staff, waaaaay too much MSG) here, bad enough for me to consider boycotting it.

Personally, I like High Thai, just down the street.
