Banh Somtum is one of my regular dine-in restaurant in Houston. Not only it is tasty, but the prices are also very reasonable. The dining room is quite small so it can get really busy during peak hours. I've tried a few of their dishes and they were all solid, but I can't help but to order Boat Noodles every time I visit. The broth is deep, rich and tangy. Bits of crunchy pork rinds and gai lan add amazing textures to the noodle dish. If you aren't too daring with spice level, you can request pickled peppers, or dried chilis on the side and adjust your dish to your liking.

Some of the best Thai/Lao food on the North Side of Houston. Definitely support your local business, they got their menu on point.
Highly recommended!!! I was craving Lao food, and this place did not disappoint. The food here is delicious! Bahn Somtum is officially my go to spot for Lao food.

Very delicious food. I ordered the Red Curry and Lao Sausage. The curry was very yummy and the spice level is great. The sausage is very good as well. I will definitely come back to try other items on the menu. Also, the green tea is very refreshing.

You need come to here if you're looking for Thai / viet food. They're pretty quick with service and their food is so good! I came here for the first time after the freeze to get some warm food! My dad recommended it he eats here often- dine in and take out! Support a family owned small business!

First time here and the food was great. Everything came out quickly and was hot. I got the friend spring rolls and a D9 with chicken and a Thai tea. The young man recommended spice level 3, it was perfect. Prices are good, and service was attentive, I will definitely return. :)
I absolutely love this place. Would drive over 30 mins just to eat here! Special shout out to the one young waiter who does everything! Bless his heart. It's like a one man band in the front of the house and he does it so well!! Their Tom Yum Noodle soup is my absolute favorite!!!

By far the best boat noodle in the Houston area, hands down.

We have been craving Laos food so we decided to stop by for dinner and the food did not disappoint. Whenever a place has thai boat noodles you have to order it. We also ordered the Laos style papaya salad, Naam Khao, and Rad na with beef. The perfect balance of flavor and spice to leave us completely satisfied.
Love this place! Never disappointed here. I always get level 3 spice which is medium spice. The service is always good. This place gives off hole in the wall vibes but with amazing flavorful food.
