Somtum Thai Kitchen is a delightful Thai restaurant located on Broadway in the vibrant city of Portland, Oregon. The restaurant is known for serving up traditional dishes from the northeastern of Thai…
Best Thai food I've had in Oregon! I lived in Rayong and Pattaya and this is the first time a Thai restaurant has been able to blow me away with crazy flavor profiles, layered heat and a perfect symphony of heat and sweet. The pineapple rice is transformative, and if you haven't had the Ka Moo Ya I highly recommend. If you are sensitive to heat get the spice level one below what you think you can handle. If you love spice, this place knows how to weave that special magic where the dishes are spicy but still have plenty of room for all of the other flavors.

I've eaten here several times, it's been my go to Thai restaurant. However the last two times I've ordered the Pad Thai, the dish has been dry in desperate need of more sauce. Tonight there was barely any chicken, you'd think I ordered light chicken.

The Penang Peanut Curry was ridiculously creamy. Very rich and flavorful, and plenty of chicken. I'm going to be ordering this regularly. This is the only Thai place in Portland that actually makes their food really spicy. When they say hot they aren't kidding lol. I Iove it!

All the food was delicious. Som Tum Thai kitchen instantly became a new favorite in my household. The Tom Sap Nue (ต้มแซบเนื้อ) was especially good, beef was very tender. I look forward to ordering again and trying more of their dishes.
