Great Thai Meal
Dinner with a large group of friends. We called ahead and informed reservations not necessary. We were seated within 15 minutes. Service was attentive, meals well prepared. Small space, however did not feel rushed.Started with a few orders of papaya salad and deep fried chicken and then ordered a slew of other dishes. Finished with ordering all of the dessert dishes on the menu (the Taro in condensed coconut milk was the overall winner). Very good meal and enjoyed by all. Will certainly consider a return when in the area.

My husband and I ordered and shared 4 dishes. All came out quickly and delicious one bite after the other. The cocktails were super tasty as well. The staff was very professional & efficient. Cute venue, warm & cozy. Definitely will return!

Food is consistently tasty; that said, service could be slow at times.
Good back up in your back pocket.
Best Thai Isan Food in New York
Super delicious Thai Isan food. I’m Thai and I really feel the real Thai taste in every dish. Really recommend their papaya salad and fried chicken.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious Thai food and drinks
Went here with my wife and a friend. All of their drinks are delicious. I recommend the Thai ice tea with milk and their ice coffee. The food was very flavorful, but quite spicy! If you’re someone who can’t handle spice, I’d say medium spice is quite hot. Ordered the mackerel with coconut rice dish with medium spice and you definitely feel the heat. All their food was delicious. Hip and trendy atmosphere.

The taste is pretty good (in that, unlike your standard Thai restaurants in the US, the flavors are strong). The ambiance is great. The portions are somewhat insufficient, which is a bit of a disappointment. I'd characterize these as tapas rather than proper entrees.

Simple decor, a few individual tables along with longer ones, like picnic tables. The cuisine has tones from Laos, not the standard Thai found across this country. For example Red Ants are in season (no joke) and they were offered on a salad. Only live once, go for it. It was fantastic and in some regards great when sampled side by side with the Papaya Salad with salted eggs. For main course, personally not a Fried Chicken fan but this stiff was heavenly. Wow. Tender, crunchy and full of flavor. The Grilled Beef Skewers were simple and tasty. The Fried Noodles; aka Pad Thai were great; simple filling and tasty. Tried to up sell us but this was plenty of food. Full bar. Limited wine list; South African wine was good and a value proposition

Small Thai place although not too tiny by NY standards. Not easy to notice, only a small unobtrusive little wooden plaque sign outside, kind of have to know that it's there to find it. Inside decor is fairly simple but quite attractive, dimly lit with basket shade lights in the ceilings. Seating includes narrow bar on one side, narrow counter in front facing the window, communal tables with benches in the middle and regular tables along the wall. Big mirror wall in back making the place look much bigger. Spacing is pretty tight although standard by NY standards. Place accepts reservations which is a big plus. We first tried going there on a Saturday around 8 and it was packed with wait over an hour. So we gave up and went again the following day, a Sunday, and this time made a reservation.
Around 7 the place was still packed but not as bad and with the reservation we were seated right away at the communal table. I can't say I was too impressed by the menu, which seemed not to have most of the dishes I'm used to seeing in Thai restaurants elsewhere, although the nice realistic photos were helpful. Maybe it's NY style since the week before I was at a Thai place on Long Island and It was similar. You can order most of the dishes in varying degrees of spiciness like mild, medium etc. Anyway we had the larb minced pork salad, which was excellent, pad Thai with crabmeat - a bit gimmicky and not actually better than the more usual with shrimps, a beef dish - nue rong hai flavorful but quite tough, another rice noodle dish - pad ki mao pork, which was ok, in retrospect better than the pad Thai, and yam grill mushroom which was not that interesting. Overall not bad, bit above average, and not inexpensive ($35/pp before tip with one drink each). My friends however seem to like the place more so all is good, since it's more important that they do because they live here and are more likely to come back.
A rare gem
Most Thai restaurants in the US emphasize central Thai cuisine. As much as I love that food, Isan Thai food brings in some Laotian overtones and a more complex palate. I think it is especially noticeable if you are Pescatarian. Not atmospheric, but great food and some nice cocktails.

It is now a second visit at Somtum Der (first was in 2017). The experience is still fantastic. Thai food at its best. The Green Papaye is a must do. Prices are extremely reasonably. The restaurant had a one star Michelin in 2016 and lost it (bit is still recommended) since then. A true culinary experience. The place is busy so come early or reserve a table
Be the first to ReplyGood but they’re better options in NYC
Quite authentic Thai taste. However, I think there are better options such as Fish Cheek or Wondee. Still solid tho!

BIG fan of Somtum Der. Love the many options they serve up and their Isan Thai creations. This isn't your standard pad thai/pad see ew Thai restaurant. It's authentically delicious. Some of these dishes you won't ever see at other Thai places, so feel free to ask your server for recommendations. Share with your table, so you'll be able to try more items.
