Amazing place for Thai food! I ordered to go a Pad See Ew (Vegan) for my wife and a Pad Kee Mao for myself. The food was excellent. The portions are very good for the price compared to other restaurants out there. If you are in Federal Way, WA and want to get some good comfort food, this is the place to go to. I would definitely go here again.

I ordered the salmon fried rice and I ended up finding bugs in there. I was so grossed out , I threw the food away immediately. I came back in to get a refund , the lady said we should've brought the food back and then shushed us when we mentioned the bugs. She was very sweet when I first ordered and even brought my food out to my car but that's actually crazy.

Love every dish on the menu! They have it all for Thai food and well made. I love seafood and the larb trout and salmon Curry are amazing favorites that I come back to weekly. They also have homemade ice cream

Food was average for Thai cuisine but worth a visit. Very friendly people. Quiet atmosphere and not in a strip mall.

This place is fantastic. By far the best Thai food I have ever had. The service was excellent; fast, very friendly, and present when needed. The food was also pretty fast and was delicious. Everything we had was amazing and perfectly balanced. I dont usually mind if the interior is nice as long az the service and food are good but its also very nice inside as well. This place couldnt improve in any way, solid 5/5.

This place is awesome! My boyfriend and I stopped here on our way home out of town and we were impressed with the food and service! You can tell they used fresh, clean ingredients which we always love! The waiter who served us recommended the Laui Saun to my boyfriend who was going to order Steamed Cod, he said it tastes better if you like Cod! He ordered a 2/5 Star spice and said it was too spicy but otherwise, he loved it! I ordered the chicken pad thai and it was very yummy, i loved the amount of shredded carrots on top! We also ordered Spring rolls (fresh) with peanut sauce and crab rangoons! I recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Thai food!

Ban SomTum is below average in the local Thai restaurant landscape, with mediocre food and lousy service being their biggest problems. We ordered a seafood tom yum and a prawn pad thai, both having missed the bar on the quality of their ingredients and overall taste. Both of the dishes under-seasoned and lacking in the things that people look to when they go for thai food, especially for the price. The one server that was there came across as condescending, offering us subpar service tossing menus and refilling water like the table was on fire and he was putting it out. The restaurant has also seen better days, sticky floors, sticky tables and chairs that look like they’ve been through a few military conflicts.

Very cute, small place you definitely need the address and instructions to find this location. But, it's worth the effort for an outing. The waiter could explain everything on the menu and the level of spicy! Food served hot and exactly as described!

Great little restaurant, kind of a hidden gem. So many choices on the menu it was hard to decide what to get. We ordered fried spring rolls, Ban SomTum Shrimp and Gauy Taew Kau. The only advice I have is to order the spicy level at 5 If you like it hot. Food was excellent!! Will definitely come back.
