ร้านส้มตำในซอยอาจไม่มีโต๊ะหรูหรือแอร์เย็นๆ มีแค่เก้าอี้ไม้ ที่นั่งแล้วลุ้นทุกวินาทีว่าจะหักไหม 😂 แต่บอกเลยว่า รสชาติคือของจริง!

เมนูเด็ดเริ่มที่ ต้มแซ่บเปรี้ยวหวานเผ็ดกำลังดี กินแล้วหยุดไม่ได้ ต่อด้วย นี่ไม่ค่อยชอบกินส้ม ตำ แต่กินต้มถั่วอร่อยมาก ที่สายฮาร์ดคอร์ต้องยกนิ้วให้ แซ่บจนเหงื่อซึมแต่ฟินสุดๆ ยิ่งกินกับข้าวเหนียวร้อนๆ โอ้โห…คือดีมาก แค่ได้กลิ่นก็น้ำลายไหลแล้ว

ราคาเป็นมิตร เริ่มต้นหลักสิบ แต่ปริมาณแน่นเต็มจาน คุ้มจนอยากตะโกนเรียกเพื่อนมากินด้วย บริการก็กันเอง แม่ค้าอัธยาศัยดี ทำให้บรรยากาศสนุกเหมือนนั่งกินข้าวบ้านเพื่อน

สรุปคือ ร้านนี้อาจเรียบง่าย แต่เสน่ห์อยู่ที่ ความอร่อย ความแซ่บ และความบ้านๆ ที่กินแล้วสุขใจ ใครเป็นสายส้มตำ ต้มแซ่บ อีสานบอกเลยว่าต้องมาลองสักครั้ง 🌶️🔥 ………………..

Ein Somtam-Laden in einer kleinen Gasse hat vielleicht keine schicken Tische oder kühle Klimaanlage – nur bunte Plastikstühle, bei denen man bei jedem Hinsetzen bangt, ob sie gleich zusammenbrechen 😂 – aber ich sage euch: der Geschmack ist absolut echt!

Das Highlight beginnt mit der Tom Saep-Suppe – sauer, süß und scharf in perfekter Balance, so lecker, dass man nicht aufhören kann zu essen. Eigentlich mag ich Somtam nicht so sehr, aber die Bohnensalat (Tam Tua) hier ist unglaublich gut! Würzig, intensiv, für Hardcore-Fans ein absolutes Muss – so scharf, dass der Schweiß läuft, aber dabei einfach köstlich. Mit heißem Klebreis dazu? Unschlagbar! Schon der Duft allein lässt einem das Wasser im Mund zusammenlaufen.

Die Preise sind freundlich – Gerichte gibt es schon für wenige Euro, und die Portionen sind groß und sättigend. So preiswert, dass man am liebsten sofort Freunde herbeirufen möchte, um gemeinsam zu essen. Der Service ist herzlich und unkompliziert, die Verkäuferin sehr freundlich – die Atmosphäre erinnert an ein gemütliches Essen bei Freunden.

Fazit: Dieser Laden ist vielleicht schlicht, aber sein Charme liegt im authentischen Geschmack, der Schärfe und der bodenständigen Gemütlichkeit. Wer Somtam, Tom Saep oder generell die Isaan-Küche liebt, sollte unbedingt einmal hier vorbeischauen 🌶️🔥 …………….

A Somtam shop in a small alley may not have fancy tables or cool air conditioning – just colorful plastic chairs where you worry every time you sit down if they might break 😂 – but let me tell you: the taste is absolutely real!

The highlight starts with the Tom Saep soup – sour, sweet, and spicy in perfect balance, so delicious you simply can’t stop eating. I’m usually not such a big fan of Somtam, but the bean salad (Tam Tua) here is incredibly good! Flavorful, intense, an absolute must for hardcore fans – so spicy it makes you break a sweat, yet still absolutely delightful. With hot sticky rice on the side? Unbeatable! Even the aroma alone makes your mouth water.

The prices are very friendly – dishes start at just a few euros, and the portions are large and filling. Such great value that you’ll immediately want to call your friends to come and share a meal. The service is warm and uncomplicated, the vendor very friendly – the atmosphere feels just like having a cozy meal at a friend’s place.

Conclusion: This shop may be simple, but its charm lies in the authentic flavors, the spiciness, and the down-to-earth coziness. Anyone who loves Somtam, Tom Saep, or Isaan cuisine in general should definitely give...

Usually I only read ratings, but I had to share my experience! A friend of mine recommend that restaurant so we went there together. The first time it was very busy and therefore it took a bit longer to get the food, however it was amazing. I had a vegetarian Massaman Curry with rice and would totally recommend it. Price, service and taste were great. Especially in this area of the Island restaurants are usually a bit more expensive. That's why i was very glad to find this restaurant. The next day I went there a second time and ordered springrolls and again the Massaman Curry. Again everything was very good and this time also fast. When I walked back to my accomodation, the staff overtook me with her motorbike and even asked, if she can give me a ride. Such a nice service - I'd totally recommend this place for everyone who wants good and...

Great little restaurant and owner. Nice Thai dishes for a very reasonable price considering Lanta island.

Tried two som tums, fried Chili with chicken, lab salad with beef and fried noodles. She asked us, if we eat spicy - which we confirmed. A mistake 😅. Commonly, if Thai people ask you spicy or not and you just say „a little“, it’s not spicy. Well, she makes it spicy, if you tell her🌶️😊. It was amazing, even though we were drinking one whole can of water and ordered additional sticky rice. She just made it the way we ordered it. So, if you eat spicy, but not Thai spicy, maybe say „just a little“ 😂.

Flavor of everything was great and serving was fast. Price/value wise a great choice.

Wear long clothes, we were eaten up by mosquitoes. But also here - they lit up an incense helix, to make us feel more comfortable. So really nice...

Very authentic Thai restaurant. The Tom sum rice was good, and beef lab was ok. Very spicy! It was good but I’m not convinced this is “the best” restaurant in town though like the reviews suggest, but it’s very delicious and reminded me of street food. The family who works here is very kind and offered great service, but I probably would try something different if I went back. It did not feel very clean and I really disliked walking here in the dark as the roads do not feel very safe to walk at night with all the cars and scooters, and this alley is very scary if you’re alone. That said I’d recommend you go when it’s not dark if you’re going to try it.

An absolutely delicious restaurant serving classic Thai cuisine at non-tourist prices. Not a fusion place, not catered to western palette, just a simple restaurant run by mom and her kids. Som Tam in the Alley does not have a fancy view or fancy dining experience. But if you are looking for authentic home style Thai Food while in this area, you need to come here. She also does take-out and delivery. Try the Som Tam Kai Khem (papaya salad with salted egg). We ate here for about half of our meals while on Koh Lanta, and probably would have been more if we had found this spot on the first day!
