" The food at Somtum Der is fantastic but beware of the heat! The dishes are authentic and very spicy. The flavors were vibrant but the slow service left us waiting too long. I will definitely be back, but I might order milder next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had an amazing time at Somtum Der. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including the mango sticky rice and larb, which were both delicious and authentic.

" I visited Somtum Der for the first time and was blown away by the authenticity! The dishes were rich in flavor and reminiscent of meals I've had in Thailand.
