SOME THAI

A few hits and misses when it comes to Thai flavors. If you’re looking for authentic Thai food, this may not be your go-to spot. Despite having “Thai” in their name, the restaurant seems to put its own twist on the dishes. I came in expecting bold, bursting Thai flavors but left a bit disappointed. That said, it feels like they’re intentionally doing things their own way… just something to keep in mind when setting expectations. Ambience: 7/10 We queued for about an hour before getting seated (came about 5:45 in line seated almost 7PM) since the place is quite small with limited tables. Surprisingly, once inside it didn’t feel chaotic and was actually comfortable. Staff: 7/10 Mixed feelings here. The staff weren’t very engaging - no one checked in to ask how the food or overall dining experience was. There was follow-up when I requested salt but service felt minimal overall. Food: 7/10 As mentioned, the flavors didn’t quite meet what I was looking for in Thai cuisine. Giving them the benefit of the doubt maybe this is their interpretation of Thai food - but then again, highlighting “Thai” in the restaurant name sets a certain expectation. Crab Curry: 5/10 Very disappointing. It lacked the natural seafood and crab flavor and leaned more toward an overly sweet, almost artificial taste. I didn’t get the hype around this dish and had to request salt and pepper just to enjoy it. Pad Thai: 6/10 Portion size was small for the price. It lacked authenticity but was still decent in taste. Spring Rolls: 8/10 I actually liked this. It reminded me of lumpiang shanghai but with a slightly different and interesting flavor. Fried Chicken Winglets: 8/10 Very salty but works well as an appetizer. Chicken Satay: 8/10 Good but nothing extraordinary or memorable. Mango Sticky Rice: 9/10 Really good. The sticky rice reminded me of biko (Filipino kakanin) which blended well with the coconut milk and mango. Would have loved a bit more mango on the plate. Final Thoughts: Overall, this is a restaurant worth trying at least once. However, if you are really into authentic Thai flavors, it’s probably not a place you’d come back toA few hits and misses when it comes to Thai flavors.

A rather small restaurant located in the hustle and bustle of Tomas Morato. Bold and modern interiors matched its irreverent aesthetic. Food is mid-priced. Spent PHP 1700 for their 3 dishes. Good for 2-3 people. Serving is adequate. Dish 1: Son and Raw Egg. Clearly, the favorite child/ dish of this restaurant. Fluffy yet crispy omelette with raw egg yolk. Acidic vinaigrette, yummy raw umami bomb, and the textures of omelette make up the complex contrasts of this dish, making it a stand out from its traditional counterpart. Dish 2: Crab Omelet Rice. Good and yummy, but can't help but compare to the generous serving and fluffy and dense layers (both egg and crab) of the original. It feels like a slight on pricing more than an inauthentic twist because of how indulgent Crab Omelets typically are. Dish 3: Thai Glazed Pork. Just ok. Good enough to complement the other two dishes. Take away review: took this as take away and reheated. The lemongrass and flavor is more apparent. Each bite was a flavor bomb. The pork remained tender and crispy too. Maybe the sauce and the other dishes made this overwhelming earlier. But now upon reevaluating and marinated dry in its sauce, it's actually good. Biased against saucy dishes. Overall: Curious to try more of the appetizers considering how those felt more in line with the restaurant's "inauthenticity" and irreverence. Would love for the restaurant to push their concept further considering that much of Thai cuisine internationally have been culturally appropriated anyway to suit the palates of the global masses.

Went here after it was announced to be one of Michelin Bib Gourmand and it did not disappoint. The Son and Raw egg was surprisingly good. We also had crab curry, tom yum, fresh spring rolls, pad thai, and seafood rice. Everything was tasty and flavorful so it’s nice to share so as not to get so overwhelmed. The service is good, staff is very attentive. Take note that the place is small so expect to wait quite long on peak hours. For dessert, we had mango sticky rice. The sweet mango complements well with the rice and coconut.

When we heard that this restuarant became a Michellin Restaurant we tried it right away. All I could say that this is the best Thai Restaurant I have tried. All of the dishes are really good no wonder that there is always a long line and the restaurant is always full. I love that their food is very rich and full of flavor. Every dish is crafted to perfection. I hope they must continue to maintain the consistency of their food.

Was craving for some Thai food. Ended up coming to Some Thai (Michelin bib gourmand). Everything we order was so good and flavorful! Every dish was bursting with flavor. Definitely recommend this resto. 👌

Some Thai is a fantastic restaurant. Despite what the name might suggest, I wouldn’t classify it as traditional Thai cuisine. Their standout dishes are actually the crudos, which clearly draw inspiration from South and Central American flavors. Atmosphere: 3/5 The restaurant is small, and the décor doesn’t quite match the level of their cuisine. However, the place is clean, well-ventilated, and comfortable enough for a casual meal. Service: 5/5 The staff are friendly, attentive, and very accommodating. Food: • Spring Rolls: 5/5 Crunchy, fresh, and beautifully presented. • Tom Yum Soup: 4/5 Tasty and well-balanced, but the portion is quite small for two people. Good dish, but not the highlight of the menu. • Hamachi Crudo: 5/5 A must-order. The fusion of Thai and South American elements is executed perfectly. • Salmon Crudo/Carpaccio: 5/5 Another essential dish—fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. • Krao Pork: 5/5 Generous portion, great flavor, and nicely presented. My only comment is that the pork belly wasn’t served hot enough. • Roti with Condensed Milk: 5/5 The perfect dessert to end a very satisfying meal. Overall Rating: 5/5 I would love to see more restaurants like this—places that offer innovative culinary techniques at accessible prices.

This place has been on my to-go list but there was always a line. Luckily, when we dined here, there was no line but the place was packed. The staff were attentive despite being full house. Serving time wasn't too long as well. Food was great! We ordered Crab Curry, Crab Omelette Rice (with nam jim sauce), Hamachin in Nam Jim Sauce, and Roti. Crab omelette rice is good on its own. So we ordered a cup of plain rice for the crab curry. They were good, especially with the nam jim sauce. I truly loved and enjoyed their nam jim sauce!! And they were kind enough to give us a second serving. While all of our orders were a hit, the Hamachi stood out and was my favorite among the dishes we ordered. It was a flavor explosion, sweet salty spicy sour... it was so good and they worked well together. Roti was good too! It's very simple, but I loved the crisp and chewy texture of it. Would come back again to try the other dishes!

3.5 because of the experience but food itself was 5 stars. we were a 3 person party and there was no line besides us but everytime a table opened up, they let other people after us sit first. we waited for 2 hours before we got seated. i understand that they would sit 2 people after us if that opened up but after the first hour of waiting where that happened, i feel that there was a major lack of initiative in the staff to figure out a way to have us seated. multiple times, we couldve been seated, just bring an extra chair at least temporarily while we wait for the next table to clear or another table to clear. at least we wouldnt have waited for 2 hours while so many parties that just walked in got seated almost immidiately or only waited for 10 minutes compared to our two hours. literally, just bring ONE chair over because there were spare chairs and tables anyway. but none of the staff even tried to be attentive or make the wait better. by the time we were seated, there were so many tables empty because everyone including most of the people that came AFTER us already FINISHED eating. it was upsetting. at the very least the food was very good. the flavor was amazing, we loved everything we ordered. the best pad thai ive ever tried. but unfortunately, it was such a frustrating experience, i wouldn't go here again unless i can see a table that's immediately available for my party or just get take out.
