Som Dee Thai Kitchen & Bar — Restaurant in Denver

We dined in at this place after receiving good reviews from other restaurant owners and managers. When we first tried to dine in the restaurant was closed due to lack of hot water on 8/12 until 8/27 by the health department. Our reservation was on 8/17 booked on 8/13. Why did they not stop reservations no clue. They also sent an email that they were closed 1 hour before our reservation which no one received. We went to pho bar accross the street. 10/10 recommend. Decided to come back tonight 8/31. Service was crap. Horrible service from the start. Long wait times servers didn’t know who was serving who. Food wasn’t great. When I asked for the recommendations to pad Thai Mallory said they had 2 different tastes. Cool. I tried one in search of the best pad Thai in town since Tommy’s Thai is closing (by far the best pad Thai!). Wasn’t a huge fan. After 20 min she finally came back and checked on us. I asked if I could try the other pad Thai (willing to pay for both) which she replied let me see. When she came back she said she’s make my food to go and quickly as my partner had finished eating way earlier as she never checked in on us. 15 min later she asked if I wanted to order anything else. ??? I did order with you. I said again I would like to try the Lamai pad Thai instead. She replied No with nothing else to add. I got the ka Pao instead and it was severely disappointing. Looked like an appetizer of lettuce wraps. PLEASE save your money and try...

Ambiance was great! Drinks were great. The drunken noodle was the best I’ve had. The reason for 2 stars was for poor management and customer service. My friend didn’t like the tom yum and could only eat the shrimp and tried to like it but realized she would need to order something else entirely because it was to fishy for her taste. She asked to possibly take it off the bill and to order something else since she was hungry and the server went to ask the manager who denied it and also denied any discount although most of the soup was in the bowl, but because some of the shrimp were eaten the manager denied any discount all. This was highly shocking, especially since both of us have worked in the restaurant industry as managers and servers who know how much it takes to turn something away in a restaurant given the work it takes to bring out food and costs etc yet to not have a restaurant care about the customer’s needs and not desire for happy, satisfied, and returning customers who can also share with countless people about this restaurant, on whether to attend it or not, was mind blowing and extremely disappointing. We will not be returning just on principle and how careless management is in...

We loved Som Dee for its food, beautiful decor, great music and just overall great atmosphere. We started with Heatwave Shrimp which was perfectly fried and seasoned and came with this amazing sauce that we wanted to bottle and take home. Then we shared spaghetti with scallops and Kra Pow with ground chicken. Both had great flavors and the best surprise was that their spice levels were real! We’re both used to spicy food and routinely add more hot sauce in the side but with the Hot level, my husband was sweating profusely and I had to get a lot of water refills. But the heat was flavorful and wasn’t just hot without flavor. I’d definitely suggest to go with medium for those looking for a good spice level without some pain. If I had to pick a fault, it’d be that the dishes are on the pricier side. But definitely worth it for a date night if you’re looking for traditional Thai dishes with...
