Zhongzheng District, Taipei City｜Somtum Der - Taiwan Branch

2023 update: new menu with a lot of new dishes. Free water, so everyone complaining about that should edit their reviews, as it's no longer an issue. Still authentic and good food. Ignore the silly negative reviews here, the food is the best Thai food you can get in Taiwan. It has the right flavours, it has the right kick and it's what Thai food is supposed to have, unlike most of the watered down versions served in other Thai restaurants in Taiwan. We've been back several times after our first visit and the food hasn't disappointed once. If you're too cheap to pay for drinks, well, that's on you. I'll agree the service is a bit his and miss and the staff doesn't seem to be particularly well trained, but this seems to be par for course in Taiwan and I've been to far more expensive restaurants here with worse service. Go here for the food, as they do that exceptionally well. I can forgive the rest just because of that.

Food is great, sour and spicy but not too spicy.

Found this Thai restaurant randomly last night at Taipei Main. The food was in good portions, the serving was pretty fast and the taste was amazing. Probably the best Thai restaurant I've tried in recent years. Many people were complaining about the service and free water not offering. But my experience was positive as every waiter I encountered was very accommodating and they did offer me free big glasses of ice water when I requested...TWICE. I would definitely come back again!
