" Honestly, my experience at Som Za was a mixed bag. On the one hand, the food was flavorful, particularly their Pad See Ew, which I loved. However, I found the service to be less attentive than I would have hoped. The dining area was clean and had a pleasant vibe, but since it’s a small restaurant, it can get quite noisy during peak hours. I think the food is worth trying, but be prepared to be patient with the service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Som Za on a whim and was really impressed with my experience! I got the yellow curry and was blown away by its flavor – it might just be my new favorite spot for Thai food. The service was prompt too, and we got seated quickly. I found the prices reasonable considering the deliciousness of the food. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Thai! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Som Za on a busy Friday evening and was pleasantly surprised by the vibrant energy in the restaurant. It was quite full, yet we were seated promptly. I ordered the Massaman Curry, which was rich and deliciously spiced. The portion was generous and left me with leftovers for lunch the next day. The service was attentive despite the crowd. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you're looking for authentic Thai. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered from Som Za for the first time last week after seeing some stellar reviews online. The food was indeed good, but I was very disappointed with the portion size for the price. The flavor was there – the real Thai taste I’ve been looking for, but I felt a bit cheated. It’s a shame because if the portions were more generous, I’d be a regular! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem for sure! My colleagues and I visited during a lunch break and we were pleasantly surprised. The Basil Fried Rice was cooked to perfection and the portion sizes were decent! However, the service could have been swifter. In addition, having more options for drinks would also be great to see. Anyway, I’m excited to return soon to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible dining experience! The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff were welcoming. I ordered the beef Panang curry, which was wonderfully spicy, perfectly cooked, and loaded with deep flavors. Also, their Thai iced tea was refreshing. I want to note that the portions were quite generous, making this place a great choice for sharing with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Thai, Som Za should be on your list! My friends and I went there last Friday, and the food was incredible. We shared the shrimp spring rolls, pad Thai, and curry chicken. Each dish had its own unique taste and felt genuinely made from scratch. My only suggestion would be to increase staff during busy hours as service was a tad slow. Still, can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
