What Austin Abraham likes about Somtum Der:
Amazing dishes. The service could use some work. They were busy on a Saturday night and have tables indoors and outdoors. It was very difficult to find our waiter for ordering dishes, notifying a dish was missing, finding the check and paying the check. They are short staffed and if not, they can turn over the tables quicker. Outdoors has plenty of mosquitoes! View all feedback. What Ted Weitz doesn't like about Somtum Der:
Last night I had a little Thai food withdrawal, I had to have a dose of Thai heat to cool me off. Som Tum; the Thai Green Papaya salad with its refreshing hotness is one of my new favorites. I thought that I couldn?t do better then order it from a restaurant that is actually named after that Thai wonder; Somtum Der. I ordered the Green Papaya Salad with salted eggs.

They offer a nice menu with a good selection of thai dishes. Large portions, we tried khao pad pak and khao pad dishes: they were great!

Sat in the garden, which was lovely. Food was reasonably good but quite spicy, as Isan Thai generally is. The downside is expense. The prices seem higher than o...

This place is a bit out of the way but if you want Thai food worth the trip.Very tasteful extremely fresh dishes.

Somtum Der offers a delicious slice of authentic Thai cuisine that transports diners straight to Thailand. Renowned for its vibrant dishes, the papaya salad stands out with its refreshing heat, earning rave reviews for its authentic flavors. While the menu caters well to carnivores, vegetarians may find options limited. Service can be hit or miss, with some patrons experiencing rushed dining, while others enjoy attentive staff in cozy settings. Overall, the restaurant is celebrated for its exceptional food and fun atmosphere, making it a must-visit for Thai food enthusiasts in NYC.

I love the drunk man noodles, the papaya salad and the Thai chicken thigh was amazingly fried. $16 for a lunch special deal.
