So, I ordered some slice lime wedge to add for extra sour taste. 9Thai fried chicken is boneless chicken strip that over fried, dried & overpriced ($12.50 on the menu vs. $13.99 per real charge) Not recommended! Service: Ko Latt, my waiter is very nice, attentive, gave me $1 deduction when I commented about unmatched fried chicken prices. Ambiance: Cozy, clean, modern Thai decoration with one clean bathroom. Sum up: I would not go back to try papaya salad & fried chicken( I do like these two dishes as my go to comfort Thai food) Saw three types of Pad Thai on the menu and that will be what I get if I visit again next time. Deducted 1 star for dried & unmatched price. Another one because the papaya salad is too sweet according to authentic Thai papaya salad standard.

The Khao Soi was delicious and so filling! The curry broth is sweet and savory, and the chicken is tender and falls right off the bone. I also ordered the papaya salad and I thought it was super cool that they serve it right out of the mortar! Very tasty! Overall, a cute and authentic restaurant with yummy dishes. Would highly recommend!

My husband got his usual panang curry, which I sampled, and the flavoring was just off and the spice level wasn't consistent throughout. I tried their chicken pad Thai and it was just ok.

When my husband went to pick up he did say the owners were incredibly nice... so maybe we'll try again in hopes the food is better next time!

We had a mixed group of meat lovers, vegetarians, and gluten-free diners, and everyone had a lot to choose from and we all had a great dinner. The portion sizes were perfect, no one left hungry and some of us ended up taking food home. On top of the fantastic food, the ambiance is warm and beautifully decorated, making it feel both relaxing and great special for a night out. The service was attentive and friendly, and the pacing of the food service was on point. If you're looking for a casual night out or a special evening Som Dee Thai is it.

I had high hopes for the place, but I likely wouldn't return. Came in on a Tuesday night…read more The Goods: Cool ambience! Modern casual meets authenticity. The restaurant was clean and the servers/bartenders were attentive. My glass never went empty! The Others: the portion size to price ratio is a bit skewed. I ordered the Massaman Roti with chicken plus extra chicken. I was surprised at how small the portion was with the extra chicken. Maybe 4 oz of chicken total for a grand total of 32 dollars. I ordered a chicken satay to make up for the lack of chicken in the curry. The portion size was reasonable for an additional 18 dollars. The flavor of the food wasn't great. The satay tasted like someone cooked the chicken, then added spices after it was cooked. The saltiness way overpowered any semblance of Thai seasoning. I could have come on an off night, or maybe my palette is biased from living in Asia, so take my review with a grain of salt (if there's any left in the kitchen after my meal).

Karma Asian was the setting for another first date. I seem to have a lot of those lately, which…read moremeans I am becoming unintentionally qualified to judge restaurants not only by the food, but by the mood. Can you talk here? Does the decor help? Does the service make things easy? Do you suddenly regret needing the restroom halfway through the conversation? That's where Karma gets complicated. It's right on Broadway, in the middle of everything, and it clearly has a loyal following. The room is dark, funky, and full of objects, screens, carved wood, fish tanks, statues, gongs, and a general kitschy style. There is a version of that I usually like. Older restaurants can have character. A little weirdness can be charming. But dated and cared for is one thing. Dated and not especially clean is another. The service was genuinely friendly, and that deserves credit. Everything came out quickly and hot, which is always a big plus. The food itself was fine. The edamame was predictable and perfectly acceptable. The gyoza were not especially exciting and were rather bland, though apparently not bland enough to stop me from eating more than my share because, well, carbs. The pad Thai with tofu was decent, a little sweet, and a curious color. Not offensive. Not memorable. The bigger issue was the condition of the space. Some of the photos show it better than I can describe it. The vents were giving off some serious ick, and a few areas felt like they had not been updated, cleaned, or loved in a while. I do not need every restaurant to be shiny and new. I usually prefer places with a little history. But cleanliness matters. A lot. And then there are the bathrooms. To get there, you pass through a doorway with beads, which feels like it should lead you towards your destination. Instead, you enter what may or may not be a storage closet, and it is quite dark, there are chairs stacked everywhere, and suddenly you are on a questionable journey. You zig. You zag. Eventually, you find the toilet area, and the sink is shared outside the two bathrooms, which adds another little layer of "what is happening here?" It was not quite portable-toilet-in-a-Denver-public-park bad, but it was close enough that I thought about the comparison, and that is not where you want your mind to go. So yes, Karma has personality. Yes, the staff was kind. Yes, the food arrived hot and fast. And yes, plenty of people clearly love this place. For me, though, cleanliness is a big deal. A restaurant can be dated and still feel taken care of. Sadly, that was not my first impression here. Friendly service helped. The food was okay. But the overall condition of the physical space made it hard for me to imagine coming back. As for the first date? Stay tuned...
