"Somtum Der offers intensely flavoured Isan dishes, including the famous Som Tam (Thai papaya salad), Larb, and Isan sausages. The brand's success has led to its expansion, with branches now in New York City, Tokyo, and Taipei." - Pruepat 'Maprang' Songtieng

"While other regional Thai cuisines are represented, intensely flavoured Isan dishes from north-eastern Thailand dominate the menu at this cosy eatery in the busy Si Lom neighbourhood. The big draw is the famous Som Tam (Thai papaya salad), which can be served ‘Isan style’ (with fermented fish) or ‘Thai style’ (without fermented fish) – along with a variety of other topping options. The brand has expanded over the years and now has other branches in New York City, Tokyo and Taipei." - Michelin Inspector

"Somtum Der (Silom) offers a variety of som tam dishes and is recognized by the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2022. The restaurant is part of the Supanniga Group and is known for its fresh ingredients and flavorful dressings." - Pruepat 'Maprang' Songtieng

"Conceived as a place for Bangkokians to enjoy simple comfort food from Isaan, this Soi Saladaeng original carries a Michelin Plate. Chef Kornthanut Thongnum from Sakhon Nakhon created the menu, while Thanaruek “Eh” Laoraowirodge worked on a design that strongly reflects the lifestyle of the province. The brand helped put Isaan cuisine on the map when its New York branch earned a Michelin star." - Catherine Bowers

"I’ve found Somtum Der’s East Village location — a Bangkok-based restaurant — can do some pretty funky things with salted field crab." - Ryan Sutton
