My husband and I couldn’t stop saying how good it was! All of the vegetables tasted fresh and he said the eggplant in his was the best he’s had. All in all some of the best Thai we’ve had. Great service, we loved Sombat and the gentleman there helping at the counter. Great food, everything was perfect and the dessert is a must. I was even impressed it came with a nicer bag to carry it with since we got carry out. It had dine in when we went. There was plenty of parking and it’s toward the road around back like the signs say.
The staff was really friendly and nice. Pad thai was my favourite, pineapple rice(curry source) was for my husband.
Crazy portion….. 2 main dishes with 1 starter(spring rolls) seemed more than enough for 5 people honestly. We’re still full..!
The lady who helped us was very nice. She gave my nephews free sodas and was so helpful talking through the food with us. We enjoyed everything we had: green papaya salad, crispy spring rolls, banana rolls, lettuce rolls, green curry and a tofu appetizer. Her homemade chili sauce was spicy and wonderful! My vegetarian sister was in heaven!
My goodness! What a gem! We ordered about 30 mins before close & not only did they accommodate us, but they even added extras. They were so kind and hospitable. Food was ready fast, even when we added fried spring rolls at check out. I had a noodle dish which was good, average Thai to me. However, the yellow curry was AMAZING. Best curry I’ve ever had and has some special flavor I couldn’t put my finger on (cardamom maybe?). Idk. She also added a tapioca coconut pudding that is the stuff of dreams. So good. Food portions were big. Only feedback is the Thai tea was smaller than I expected, but everything else was 5 stars! Great!
This is one of two best Thai restaurants in Hilo. I’m a dedicated Thai Food affectionate…and 8 year local resident. Just trust me…This place and Tina’s Garden Cafe are the only two places I go to at this point. Give it a whirl!!!
Great Thai food place, taste was unique, fresh, scratch made food. Great staff, eco-friendly, the grow some of their hebs. Place it's a little bit small, but no big deal. Restrooms are out side of the restaurant, not to close tho.
They are takeout only for now, from 4-8p. Ordered green papaya salad which was refreshingly delicious, Kang Penang with chicken was also yummy, and pad Thai with shrimp. All were very good and their medium has nice authentic heat. They even let you select Thai style hot. I’ve been to Thailand and Thai hot level is very hot so your are forewarned. When I asked for medium, he told me their medium is quite hot but that’s what we wanted. It was perfect for us. The portions are very generous and we could barely make a dent. Good value for your money and recommend this lovely business. Order!
Parking is behind the plaza where Sombat is and you have to turn down the side street and enter the lot. They have a sign placard saying, Sombat parking, to help.
I’ve had both their red and yellow curries, and both have a brilliant flavor. Their portions are large too, making it a great choice after a busy day.
Ordered mild chicken pad Thai—pleasantly tangy and sweet tamarind flavor with peanut, egg, carrot, green onion, bean sprouts, and a ton of noodles! Nice big portions and good flavor makes it worth the price tag. I think I’ll try medium spicy next time, and perhaps ask for extra sauce!
Sombat's offers authentic, delicious Thai food. The food was extremely fresh and flavorable, and the portions were very generous. Our waiter was the best and made our experience even better. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience at Sombat's.
