Som Tum exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Som Tum made with real commitment to galangal and technique. The bright and lively result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

fresh herbs and aromatics are added at the last moment to preserve fragrance. The a family restaurant was exactly right for this kind of eating. Thai iced tea was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
