Editor’s Note

Last updated 19 Oct 2026

Our take: Somtam Saklai offers a range of Thai dishes in the Downtown Core, with a focus on authentic flavours.

We note consistent praise for the generous portions and the option to customise spice levels.

The Basil Pork Omelette Rice is a standout, with reviewers highlighting the soft egg.

The Tom Yum soup, while sometimes described as less spicy than expected, is generally well-regarded for its fresh ingredients and ample seafood.

However, there are mixed reviews on other dishes; the grilled pork collar and moo ping can be inconsistent, occasionally dry or overcooked.

We also observe that popular items like papaya salad and somtam can sell out early, with papaya salad often unavailable after 6:45pm.

Service can be a point of contention, with some experiences of staff confusion or unhygienic handling.

Despite this, the lack of service charge and overall value for money make it an appealing option for a casual Thai meal.

Best for groups looking for generous portions, but be prepared for potential queues and limited availability of certain dishes later in the day.

Loved the basil pork omelette rice! The egg was so soft, but the rice might be too much for one person. Tom yum soup was alright but far from spicy. Grilled pork collar and kang kong were decent.
