Sommai Thai

Spent a few days in the area on a quick holiday and tried this Thai for takeaway one evening. I am not entirely sure how so many people can rate this place to highly. Maybe the standard of food or the understanding of what good food supposed to taste like is a lot lower outside the big cities. We had 2 different stir fry dishes and rice. Both dishes were bland, watery and boring. The ginger, chicken and mushroom stir fry I had was overloaded with carrots and there was barely any piece of chicken to see anywhere. Just carrots, carrots and more carrots. Both dishes were not enjoyable to eat at all and this has nothing to do with good Thai food you would find elsewhere in cities. Would not got back and would not recommend either.

Take away last night, $45 for 1 person, 6 small spring rolls, 4 satay skewers, that were 1/4 of the stick, thigh meat with gristle and thick skin, covered in a bland peanut sauce served luke warm and beef salad, that's beef, lettuce, crushed rice grit and dressing.. Nothing else 😔 lastly roti bread, was so thick on the edges was inedible, raw and doughy.. Very disappointing. Waking in early hours of the night, violently ill and currently suffering diohoreha and a stomach ache.. Wouldn't recommend!! 🤢

A lovely meal at a reasonable price. A good choice of background music and conveniently located in the main street of upwey. We selected two meal choices from the many offered and shared them between us. This is common with many of the Asian cuisines and a good way to experience a few different tastes. We will probably go back with a group soon.
