This is a staple post-church lunch spot haha. We got the Tom yum, pineapple fried rice, pad kee mao, and pad si ew. We opted for the level 2 spice, which was just right. The Tom yum was the table's favorite. Light yet extremely flavorful. It was more so sweet than sour. Loved the chicken and glass noodles inside. The pineapple fried rice was sweet and savory, with nice chunks of pineapple throughout. The pad si ew and pad kee mao tasted pretty similar to me. Kinda just tasted like regular flat noodles. I'm used to more of a rich and sweet flavor from other restaurants. The pad kee mao seemed to be overloaded with large pieces of vegetable lol. Meats were tender. Although the noodle dishes were not the typical ones I've had in the past, they were still good. The noodles were thick and chewy. Fast and friendly service! The inside is relatively small, so if there are lots of people, it can tend to feel uncomfortably crowded. Thankfully, we did not run into that issue. It can also get a lil toasty in there. Ample parking!

The Thai beef salad was the standout dish for me. The spice was definitely present but it was the addicting kind. Super herby and light which I loved. The onions and cucumber balanced out the tender beef. I thought the pad thai was alright, it was on the sweeter side and could've been more flavorful. My friend said the crab puffs were solid.

I go here almost every week. As a Thai, I think they have the best pad kra prow, pad see eew and pad Thai. Actually, every dish I have had is excellent. Service is always efficient and courteous. Prices are reasonable.

If you're looking for an explosion of flavors, look no further than Banh Somtum! This place tagged itself as Laos/Thai cuisine aka Isaan (Northeastern) Thai flavor which is known for its spicy kick Somtum.The flavors are bold, spicy, and complex, but the prices are not inflated and the atmosphere is always casual and friendly. I found LaadNaa dish is the nearest to street food in Korat or KhonKaen. Whether you're a foodie or just looking for a quick and delicious meal, Banh Somtum is an experience not to be missed!"

We came here on a Saturday for lunch but it was packed and we didn't have time to wait so we decide to come back on Sunday for lunch. The staff is friendly , the restaurant atmosphere is like every regular Asian small ma & pa restaurant . We ordered 3 dishes : 1) the Lao Sausage was tasty and has a kick to it. I would prefer if it was a tad more hotter in serving temperature . It was served with the sticky rice which was good but a tad more moist would of been perfect 4/5 stars 2) we ordered the crispy rice salad , it was tasty but I would like a little more flavor to it . 3/5 stars 3) we ordered the Talapia steam dish , the fish was good . They put fresh lime to it so it taste good but when the lime is cook too long then the rind from the lime make it a tad bitter 4/5. Would prefer if this dish serve with some dipping sauce . Please remove the fresh lime , maybe use lemon and lime leaves only . The rind kill the good taste of the broth you prepared .

Cute restaurant, has maybe 8 tables. Friendly staff and food is delicious. We ordered more than we can eat like always. A Lots of free parking in the front.

Banh Somtum is one of my regular dine-in restaurant in Houston. Not only it is tasty, but the prices are also very reasonable. The dining room is quite small so it can get really busy during peak hours. I've tried a few of their dishes and they were all solid, but I can't help but to order Boat Noodles every time I visit. The broth is deep, rich and tangy. Bits of crunchy pork rinds and gai lan add amazing textures to the noodle dish. If you aren't too daring with spice level, you can request pickled peppers, or dried chilis on the side and adjust your dish to your liking.

You need come to here if you're looking for Thai / viet food. They're pretty quick with service and their food is so good! I came here for the first time after the freeze to get some warm food! My dad recommended it he eats here often- dine in and take out! Support a family owned small business!

This restaurant was very small and quaint. The workers were extremely friendly and courteous. My husband is Hmong so there isn't lots of places that sells papaya salad or lao sausage. He really enjoys this place and we had such an amazing time reminiscing nostalgic palates. Everything we ordered was authentic and delicious. 100% Shye (my husband) approved.
