try S.R Thai Cuisine at V.Concepcion st. corner Dapitan you also can find their location on facebook, if you really want authentic thai foods don’t go during busy time (11am – 1.30pm) and ask the owner that you want authentic thai foods that is more spicy and tasty.

Ate at Som’s Noodle House last Monday. We were a six in a group and our total bill was Php1,093.00 WOW. We had fried rice with beef, red curry beef, fried lumpia, 6 thai iced teas, an apetizer and pad thai. I was so full after. Authentic Thai in a budget!

I’ve just discovered a new Thai restaurant in Marikina City, near the market and in front of Mercury Drug store.
liked the Pad Thai, Tom Yum Soup, catfish salad and the Fried Chicken.
the name just escaped me but i think it is KRung Thai.

Have to agree with MM. Only tried SOM’s once and never going back.

dee, they don’t have to agree with my opinion, and neither do you. If you are happy to eat that kind of food, then continue to do so with no qualms from me. Millions of people eat instant noodles every day in the Philippines — instant noodles are nutritional CRAP, filled with fat, MSG and carbohydrates of the worst kind. They have little redeeming value in terms of nutrition, vitamins, minerals, good fiber, etc. — but that doesn’t stop their “popularity”. Popularity does NOT determine whether something is well made or not. As for Som’s curry, try a real curry at an authentic Thai restaurant and you will hopefully see the difference. But it’s not my problem if you can’t.

Whatever bad publicity about Som’s, i still prefer to eat there. Just say what you want to say, i like thier bagoong rice and red/green curry as well, and to tell you the place is very crowded everynight, I think they won’t agree with you guys.

I think this is the first Som’s review I read that had terrible things to say about the restaurant and I fully agree with everything you mentioned. Their curries are anything but authentic. I tried green chicken curry and red beef curry and I could hardly taste the difference. Green and red curries have very distinct flavors and it almost seemed like what they used is the same curry and then colored the sauce green or red.

I miss Flavors and Spices!!!!

By the way, I only found out about your blog yesterday and I have got to say, I’m hooked! You give better reviews than Anton (sorry OurAwesomePlanet).

I would also just like to share that I stayed at Sitio Remedios August of last year (at Balay Piddig) and I had the most amazing experience. I agree that the prices are pretty steep and their bathrooms can still be improved but the service we were given was just exceptional.

my bestfriend raves about som’s but when i tried it, i didn’t like it. I was disappointed bcuz i love spicy food and i was expecting to love thai food. (som’s was my first thai resto to try) when i went to bkk, i realized som’s just doesn’t serve good food. i wonder why it’s so popular. you got that hygiene part so right! I am not very particular with restrooms but theirs just won’t do.

Ate at Soms for the first time on Saturday. They upgraded their place and moved to the squat building beside the old stall. Food wasn’t great, like other people have said. Won’t be coming back to this place soon. :)
