Thai Som Boon Goulburn Restaurant — Restaurant in Goulburn

A friend an myself walked into this dubious little restaurant without a booking on Saturday for lunch.

My friend asked for a booth table (two were available) and we were told by the rude little guy on duty that we could not sit in a booth table because of seating concerns for lunch. Never mind there were two women sitting in the front booth and there were many other tables available for groups of people.

This rude and indifferent young man could not care less. When we said we will go somewhere else. His curt response was OK. He obviously hasn't a clue about the hospitality industry that I worked in for 15 years.

He lost two clients that would have spent in excess of $100 for a quick lunch. Instead we went next door to the Workers Club and had a perfectly enjoyable meal with wine for half what this rude clueless, little man would have charged us for the meals.

Just popped in to Thai Som Boom on our way back from Sydney. We absolutely loved the restaurant.

A selection of the chefs specialities were different to other Thai restaurants which makes it a standout in my opinion. The whole fish options look amazing and I can't wait to try them.

We enjoyed soft shell crab for starter followed by sizzling Wagyu with black pepper sauce, thick noodles with chilli basil and prawns and garlic rice. All of the dishes were delicious.

In addition to amazing food, all of the staff were friendly and welcoming, and managed to find us a spot at the bar for dinner as the restaurant was already packed.

I highly recommend and am looking forward to...
