Positive User: Great prices! The food was amazing and the menu has beautiful pictures of all the food. It was very helpful in a new land. I saw a-lot of Thai people eating there as well, so it must not be too Farang. (Western Foreigner)
Positive User: Surprisingly good with locals eating. It was not hard finding the place thanks to google maps. Coconut ice cream for dessert was amazing!
Positive User: Nice ambience and food is clean and well cooked

Positive User: Baan Somtum tucked away in O.P Garden in Chareon Krung Area. A few minutes walk from Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
An authentic Thai dishes (mainly Esan food serves here), displayed with vibrant and spacious area in a nice and cozy environment . The somtum, gai yang (grilled chicken), larb pork and fried fishes here are all tasty and fresh. Efficient service. Prices are abit on the upper scale, but with the quality of food, its all good.
The place accept both cash and credit cards.
Positive User: My Thai companion also said it was delicious. The service from the staff was very good.
Positive User: Good food, but a bit too small portion for this price.

Neutral User: I was looking forward to seeing Google Maps reviews and blogs, but it was not good for the price.
Neutral User: Although it is a little far from the station, it has a modern design and a nice atmosphere. Food service is a little slow.
Neutral User: The portion was small for that price. And the staff doesn’t speak English, i asked for ice cube they came with offering an ice cream. We asked for medium spicy but the gave us very strong spiciness. Also the staff was on their phone, so we need to bring our order paper into them 🙁

Negative User: bad food
Negative User: Shady atmosphere
Negative User: The taste is delicious as always. Normally, every time I go to eat, I make a reservation first. But as the day approached, the restaurant called back and said that the reserved table just had someone walk in to reserve and order food. Is it possible like this??? Then why would you have to call to make a reservation if you want to do this?

Negative User: Waited too long for food
Negative User: Rider delivers food, then brings money to the restaurant. Deliver food to your customers. You don’t have to do it. It’s over the top of my head, I don’t have to, but it’s just words, I can’t accept it.
We just arrived on a motorcycle and saw other cars parked, so we parked along the corridor and a security guard came to park next to us (over the corridor at the end of the Benz).
and told us to park over there even though we had parked ourselves overlaid the path more than us
We parked right over there.
When I come to inform the order number. Oh, my God.
Cooking for a very long time, so long that I don’t have the heart to wait
When the food is finished, let the rider go and shake it, ah yes, for orderliness again. (I don’t call for anything. Let’s do it myself.) Well, we don’t know the food items at the restaurant at all. I haven’t been a bill boy for a long time. Really tired.
Customers pay by credit. Can’t cancel, both sides sympathize with the customer. That’s why we are hot. We don’t have a place to hide. Walk out to see the car because it’s very hot (just watch to relieve frustration and cool down).
Until coming to deliver food to customers, the car’s screen flashes, after sending it, parked for a long time.
In this case, who ever ordered delivery? when choosing to pay Then get the food later than expected, will be very disappointed. Personally, I used to take longer than 2 hours (although it shouldn’t be up to 2 hours at all), very disappointed, did not want to pay before receiving the food at all.
