" I'm a huge Thai food fan and usually skeptical about new places, but Som Za is fantastic! The Tom Yum soup was bursting with flavor and had a great balance of spice. I found everything to be fresh and made to order. The atmosphere is cozy, though quite tight; I'd recommend calling ahead during busy hours. I will definitely be coming back to explore their full menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many good things about Som Za, I had to try it out. The Pad Grapow is absolutely delightful, packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice! The ambiance was perfect for a casual dinner with friends. We really enjoyed our waiter – he was helpful and attentive! I’ll surely come back to sample more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited Som Za multiple times. I love their consistent quality. Every meal, I've ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice, and it has always been perfect. The atmosphere is cozy for small groups, and the service is generally quite friendly. Just a suggestion, it can be a bit cramped, so try to go during off-peak hours if you want a relaxing meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a regular at Som Za ever since they opened! Each dish has really impressed me, from the Tom Yum soup with its rich flavors to the perfectly cooked Basil Chicken. The place might be small, but it has a welcoming feel. I usually go during lunch hours which are perfect if you want a nice quiet meal. Highly recommend trying their Thai iced tea – it's fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking forward to my meal at Som Za after reading the reviews but I found it to be underwhelming. The food was decent but didn't quite live up to the hype. I ordered the Tom Kha Gai soup and while it had great flavor, it left me wanting more. The service was average, and it felt crowded inside. I might return to give it another chance, hoping for a better experience. " (*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*)
