Sompun Restaurants

Sompun has long been a neighborhood favorite of mine for a number of years. The variety of Thai dishes is great and the food is fantastic. The food is reasonably priced and the atmosphere is very quaint. Many a time I've enjoyed eating in the backyard garden, where I've savored panang tofu with brown rice and finished off my meal with fried bananas and coconut ice cream. The service is warm and friendly. Great for small, intimate special occasions. (I've had many a birthday celebration here.)

PROS: Choice of brown AND white rice. Great selection for veggies and meat eaters
CONS:

I have been dining at Sompun for probably 15 years and I have never had a bad meal there...great Thai home cooking, more authentic than many Thai restaurants, but still accomodating to the "gringo" palate. I especially love the Fiery Beef Salad and the boneless chicken wings...they have great sauces and if you go, ask for the "green sauce usually served with seafood" and they'll make it for you...it's great...the only negative I have for this place is the wine...they need a better house wine, including a white zinfandel or rose.

PROS: Just great, fresh home cooking!
CONS: Better selection and quality of house wine
