" I was underwhelmed by my first experience at Somtum Der. While the atmosphere was inviting, the food, though decent, didn’t impress me as much as I hoped. The service was fast but felt rushed, leaving no time for us to enjoy our meal. Hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the atmosphere was nice and cozy, I found the food to be slightly lacking in zing. I tried the pad krapow and it was good, but I expected bolder flavors. The service was decent, but not very attentive. I might try again with a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)
