Som Tum

Definitely my favorite Thai place in Ottawa as of yet. First off the service was the quickest I've ever seen. Once we had ordered they had our food out in under 4 minutes. Furthermore, the food was very well done and I enjoyed it quite a bit. In fact I enjoyed the spring rolls so much I had to order another portion mid way through my meal. The servers were kind and friendly and gave us quick and good service. Overall I'd say an (8.5/10).

Extremely tasty peanut coconut curry soup with shrimp, chicken and egg (see picture below). Not very spicy, so add it in if you like it hotter. They've built a nice patio outside to accommodate patrons. Brand new, very nice and cozy. Highly recommend the peanut sauce chicken dumplings and the fresh rolls with chicken as starter. Not open on Sundays!

I sent this review 3 years ago. Today, it is still my Thai Food place to go. And the rest of this review remains the same, with the exception that it is now pick-up only due to COVID-19. Hope they are coping and that this Thai Restaurant remains open through this pandemic. The food is absolutely delicious, the plate presentation is great, the servings are perfect and the staff are terrific! It is cozy, clean and very welcoming. The service is prompt and the staff are always accommodating. I love this place! Thank you for always preparing and serving a fabulous meal.

Loved eating here. Came here because of John Nguyen’s review (see below) who recommended we come here. It did not disappoint, and I can attest to John’s opinion because the owner was indeed so friendly and has a great smile. I recommend lunch combo #2. It was delicious. But all the dishes looked wonderful!
