My go to Thai restaurant in the loop! The medium+ spice levels are actually spicy. I love how chewy and flavorful the drunken noodles are. The green curry is also a go-to for us. A very reasonably priced menu for the high quality dishes— doesn’t pretend to be fancy, and it’s not priced crazy like other places!

We’ve been meaning to try this place for a while, but we wanted to let the initial hype settle down first. A few months later, we finally gave it a shot with a takeout order we were not disappointed!

When I walked in to pick up my food, there was a noticeable buzz with a few people waiting outside, which is always a good sign especially considering how many Thai restaurants are nearby. For our first try, we went with the Pad Kee Mao and Pad Thai with mild spiciness.

Let me tell you, the flavors were spot on. The pad kee mao was loaded with depth and flavor, and every bite had me going back for more. The spiciness was a pleasant surprise. We requested mild, but it still packed a punch - enough heat to make it interesting without being overwhelming. Honestly, I can’t imagine what their “Thai spicy” level must be like but I don’t think I'm built for that!

Overall, I think this place has quickly earned a spot as our favorite Thai restaurant in the area. The food is full of flavor, and there’s definitely a lot of potential for future visits. Next time, we’ll be dining in for the full experience!

We had dinner for two at a new Thai restaurant and ordered Pad See Ew, Basil Pork, and Mango Sticky Rice, all at a medium spice level, which was perfect for our palate. The Pad See Ew was the standout dish of the night, featuring chewy flat noodles and authentic Thai flavors. The Basil Chicken paired well with white rice, though it was slightly dry; next time, we’ll try the pork version, which might be juicier. I also wished for a bit more garlic and fish sauce to enhance the depth of flavor. The Mango Sticky Rice was a delightful way to end the meal. Excellent service and a convenient location. We’ll definitely be back to explore more dishes!

The food was excellent. The right amount of spices. My boyfriend didn’t like the Thai iced tea. He said it was too sweet. No on bats 1000

So many places in Houston to eat Thai, and it never gets old trying more. Definitely put this one on the top of my list. Great service and delicious plates with lots of flavor. Very nice atmosphere for two or more.

Highly recommend coming here! I got the green curry and almost chose the medium level until our server (can’t remember her name but she was amazing), warned me and decided to go with the mild choice and it ended up being just the right mount of spice for me despite having green curry before! The restaurant was beautiful and the service was attentive. We came here on 08/01 with no expectations but was actually blown away. DON’T SKIP OUT!!!

Highly recommend the Tiger eye. I had their tiger eye as my entree and it didn't disappoint. The ribeye was very tender and cooked perfectly medium rare. I also ordered the Honey Jalapeno wings. Let's just say their were zero leftovers! You all are doing it right!

Went to Som Boon Kitchen with my family and we were all so impressed! Everything we ordered tasted incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The crab fried rice was loaded with real crab meat and perfectly seasoned. The green curry had a great balance of spice and creaminess, and the calamari was crispy and tender — not greasy at all.

But the highlight for me was the Pad Thai — hands down the best I’ve had in Houston. The noodles were cooked just right, and the sauce was rich without being too sweet. You can really tell they care about quality here. This place is definitely a new family favorite. Can’t wait to come back! 🍜🦀🥢

The food had little taste, my friend ordered spicy and what he got was not spicy. I didn't like the tip automatically in the bill. They didn't say anything about that and we almost tipped twice.
