I highly recommend this place. We were visiting from close to Chicago and felt right at home. The bartender was right on with the cocktails. They were strong and delicious and inexpensive! We had the crab Rangoon which was fresh and good. We had the chicken soup which was loaded with noodles and a great broth. I had two sushi rolls that were fantastic! My husband had the spicy Thai rice which had good flavor! Our server, Carmen was attentive, kind and efficient! read more

Love it! Great sushi and thai. Yes the place is nice and clean and the wait staff is friendly.

Such an amazing, warm, friendly establishment with the best food I have ever had. I'm from Naples FL and I have never had sushi with such flavor that melts in your mouth. This is definitely a MUST stop restaurant. Hands down. I will be back...a lot! read more

Somkit - My favorite. Tropical Roll. Heaven - Thai Near Me - Dixon, Illinois

Always fantastic flavors! No matter what we order we love it! Crazy rice is a favorite!

I stopped in to do a little work while grabbing a quick bite. I opted for the avocado roll, garden roll, and California roll the server recommended a Lucky Buddha to wash it all down, awesome choice! Everything was great until I got to the California roll, in a dunderhead move I forgot that it had crab in it like most places, unlike the old place I went to that didn't have it. I told the staff and they were more than accommodating getting me a kappa roll, I told them that I would gladly pay as it was my fault. As we neared closing time they didn't rush me out and let me finish in peace and let me work. Great job guys! Definitely making Somkit a regular haunt! read more

I visited this place often when it was Touch of Thai and it was awesome. But now that it's Somkit? It's even better. The location is wider and more homey than before somehow. The drink menu has greatly expanded, and the fact that they have added a soda fountain means that you get refills vs. having to order more than one can of soda. I went with my sister for dinner the other night and it was absolutely the bomb. I got cherry pina colada, which was heavenly. My sister had some sort of elderberry mojito, and I liked hers better surprisingly! They were both fantastic though. We always get sushi to share, and this time we went with California, Volcano, and Cubby rolls. Absurdly good, though it takes us very little time to eat them. The sushi comes on beautiful serving boards with wasabi, ginger, and fresh orchids for beauty's sake. It's a feast for the eyes and the mouth. The wait is a little long for your food but when it's that fresh and delicious, you don't even mind. I'm in love with the new location, and I cannot wait to go back with my friends. This has the potential to be THE hip hangout spot for Dixon. read more

Consistently yummy food, no matter what you order. I frequently eat here for lunch time and love their lunch specials (will usually get a roll on the side too). The flavors are always spot on and any noodles I've had are cooked to a perfect consistency. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Dixon, would recommended to anyone visiting from out of town or any locals considering expanding their culinary horizons. read more

Such a special place in Dixon, truly outstanding food in a town that only specializes in breakfast, fast food or pizza. Love the curry and pad thai! Also they have a drive thru window, for pick up orders only, on the side of the building. read more

Wow . I was going to give a bad review . But to my suprise they did the right thing . I love their food and customer service is top notch . Great job by the manager . I was a little harsh but she handled it like a pro. I will be buying more food . Thank you .. read more

I was just in town for the Gentlemen of the Road festival and honestly didn't know what to expect for my vegan palate but was pumped when my friend suggested Touch of Thai for lunch. The lunch specials are super affordable and delicious too. The staff was friendly and was super familiar with the menu when we asked for some suggestions. I enjoyed the Red Curry dish along with a glass of wine was pleasantly surprised by the quality! I asked for the Native Spicy and they certainly brought the heat too. The menu was very extensive and they also had a great selection of Asian beers and sake too. read more

We arrived in the afternoon for the tail of the lunch special service. I had the Pepper Beef with the excellent Lumpia appetizer and a nice sauce. My aunt had the Ginger Chicken, which was good, but I could have used more ginger. Excellent Thai iced coffee, although it was premixed - most I have seen are separate layers and you mix them. The food was good, the price is an excellent value, the service was attentive and the spicing (at least for the dishes we tried) is a mainstream spicing, so even my 90ish aunt could enjoy it. I'm sure they could kick up the heat a bit if you want. Storefront dining, my aunt tells me it was an old department store, so an interesting space. Booths are really a bench seat between two tables, so don't lean back too far! We noticed the room really filling up near dinner - good thing, so they stay open and we can go back on our next trip to DIxon. read more

I love Thai food and this is by far the best I have ever had. So far I've had the panang chicken curry and the pad see uw beef . The curry was spot on the chicken was very tender and the red pepper was still a little crisp...perfect. The pad see uw beef is also very tender with crunchy broccoli .The thick caramelized sauce was unlike any I've had . I live a good distance from here but will be making the trip as often as possible. The quality of food and service was outstanding and at a very good price read more

We had a lot of food that was all well prepared and satisfying. I would say that the service was a little long, but we did go on their peak night hours. Prices were reasonable, too. read more

I ordered the Pepper Steak. The menu describes it as stir fried steak and various vegetables served in a savory sauce. What I got was a bowl of the chewiest meat I have ever eaten in my life with raw vegetables floating in a very thin beef broth. This was a carry out order and I didn't discover it until I got home. If it was dine in, I would have sent it back and not paid for it. I won't be going back. read more

The food is phenomenal, the best food in Dixon, by far. The price isn't too bad either. And since they've added the sushi, it has only made me love this restaurant more. The waiters and waitresses don't know everything about the menu, but do their best. The atmosphere is great though; very chill and relaxed. read more

They've redecorated not too long ago, and the interior is much classier now. My dinner a few nights ago was LOADED with chicken, as was the dish my husband ordered. I like the fact that you can have brown rice if you want (for an additional fifty-cents). I agree on the backless seating, but there are only a few table that have that type of arrangement, so be sure to request a table with chairs, unless you like to get up-close and personal with other diners. This is one of our favorites in Dixon, and we'll be sure to return!! read more

Very friendly and knowledgable wait staff and sushi chefs. A wonderful selection of rice dishes, noodles dishes, sushi, appetizers and desserts. The interior is beautifully decorated with stylish dinnerware and menus. They have a wonderful selection of beers and wines: Kirin Ichiban, Sapporo & Sapporo Light, Chang, Tsing Tao and of course the domestics such as Bud Light and Miller Light. My personal favorite is the Panang Curry with chicken. Don't pass that one up! The White Dragon Roll is one of a kind and even the soups are delish. 10/10 :) read more

Certainly not an offensive meal by any means, but utterly forgettable. Can't even recall what I are, honestly. Service was good and quick on their feet, though. read more

Favorite restaurant in town, so many delicious options and changing speical drink choices. I have never tried something here i didn't like. Great service and atmosphere i come here for all special occasions as well and never disappointed. read more

I was extremely surprised to find one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever eaten at in Dixon, IL. The drunken noodles (I think called "crazy noodles" there) were phenomenal. The four other people I was with also enjoyed everything we ate on the menu. Highly recommendable read more

Really great selection of Thai and Japanese food. I am particularly fond of their sushi menu. Great atmosphere - highly recommend a reservation as it's a popular lunch and dinner spot and usually packed. read more

Great sushi! Have a great box lunch that has chicken teriyaki, seaweed salad, California roll and rice for 13.25

No need to rattle on much about this place..Out of the 4 of us in the family that was here for dinner, not one of us liked the food. To me it seemed obvious much of their food source comes out of a can, so the food is bland and unoriginal. It is quite shocking this place has many positive reviews about the food. Maybe small town folk cant notice food out of a can versus food that is fresh. Or, the cool , trendy asthetics inside lure people into thinking the food must be good. The food that the 4 of us got was pretty damn aweful. Also it's important you know this place is very expensive. So if you're looking for Asian cuisine at a good price, this not the place for you. To make matters worse the wait staff was rude and I guess thats enough said other than none of us will ever go back. read more

Disappointed. Ordered the teriyaki chicken with asparagus. The few pieces of chicken were dry and there were only two, that's right, two pieces of asparagus. Hungry after my meal. Called restaurant and they said that is all they give. Gave it two stars because the staff person was friendly. read more

Found this place on yelp, was craving sushi so, why not? It was GREAT. For an appetizer we had the soft shell crab which was so crunchy on the outside and so soft and had so much flavor on the inside. For our rolls: The Mexican, the dragon, the volcano, and the spider. Honestly, i couldn't tell you which one i liked the best because all four rolls were so dynamite! Everything from the fresh cilantro in the Mexicano roll or the avocado in the spider roll tasted amazing. The only downside is we wished we had ordered more rolls to try ! Highly recommend this place for date night or a dinner or work function. Great clean cozy atmosphere! read more

Awsome sushi ! Love the red curry also! Nice atmosphere!Wonderful presentation great service

Love love love food and service, even during Covid, Somkit has kept it's quality in everything !!!

Delicious food every time! We usually stick with Miso soup, Smoked Salmon sushi, Super White Tuna rolls and Ladnar. All must try! Service is exceptional from the moment you walk in until you leave. Highly Recommend if in the area and Enjoy! read more

Panang Curry is the best. I patron Somkit every time I visit my friend in Dixon. Totally worth the drive.

Good, perhaps the best Thai food in the area, although it depends on the item. Best atmoshere in the area with the suburban feel to the place. read more

Love Somkit! Great food and anything you will try will be exceptional, the sushi is good too and for the area the place is awesome. I try to go as much as I can, great service and a unique ambiance. read more

Having lived and traveled many different places, this place is the best Thai food I've ever had! The sushi is INCREDIBLE, and all the entrees are quality, but my favorite is the Panang Curry or the Hawaiian Fried Rice. Also, the service and the owners are amazing! read more

The food is always fantastic, the atmosphere is cool, and the staff is very friendly. It's never a regretful choice to have a meal at Somkit. read more

The Spider maki and the dumplings are delicious. One of my favorite dinner places to splurge at.

We came with a group of perhaps 20 people. Of course, we had planned this days in advance with the restaurant. Our group all arrived together - essentially within 10 minutes . We were seated together in a long table. Drinks were served, orders were taken and food was delivered promptly. Everyone was satisfied with their meal. Individual checks were prepared without complaint. When we arrived and left the place was completely full. So we certainly appreciated their being able to reserve our space and serve us attentively. read more

I still love this place! The best Thai food, and definitely the best and freshest Sushi anywhere....and I come here from the Chicago suburbs! Yes, I don't mind driving 90 miles to get here! It's the highlight of Dixon! Small, family run and affordable. I'll be back many times! read more

The food was delicious. The backless chairs were really uncomfortable. They have big portions for a reasonable price. The staff wasn't the friendliest. read more

Was my first time here. Ordered take out, the egg rolls were the small thin skin type. Not my favorite, but the flavor was excellent and they were perfectly fried. I had the chicken Rama. It was very nice. Well blended flavors and the portions were perfect. It didn't have the extremely deep and rich flavors that I've come to expect from Chicago Thai places. But it more than made up for it in the light and refreshing tastes. It is a Japanese and Thai restaurant, so my expectations were not that high because usually places are good at one or the other, not both. I'll be back again! read more

I will opening admit that I am bit of a snob when it comes to my sushi. Being a sushi lover for many, many years I will go ahead and say that this restaurant has some of the BEST sushi I've ever had. Baby Bears is one of my favorite rolls! Since I come to this restaurant about once a week now, I also decided to try their Thai food once and it was absolutely amazing as well! They have a spicy noodle dish that is absolutely delish! Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone! I literally have friends who live an hour away that come up every other week just to get this food as well! Keep up the good work Touch of Thai! :) read more

My first and only experience here was very underwhelming. I had heard nothing but great things about this place, and I was craving some sushi, so I made the 30 minute drive during the last arctic vortex that was trying to kill everyone in the Midwest. Anyways, I ordered the same sushi (based on name) that I've ordered at several other restaurants, because I figured I'd be safe with what I already know I like. I was with two others and my food arrived significantly later than there's did, even though there were maybe 5 other people in the restaurant at the time. But that's not even my complaint, my real issue was the portion to price ratio. The prices were what I'm used to paying at other sushi places, but the portions were laughably tiny. I looked at my plate and I honestly thought they had forgotten part of my order. I left hungry... I've never ordered two entire sushi rolls for myself and still left hungry from any other sushi joint. I understand, this isn't primarily a sushi place, but the taste wasn't an big issue, it was decent tasting stuff... Just felt like I had ordered a Happy Meal. I'll probably go back and try some of the actual Thai food soon, like the red curry, etc and either update or write a separate review. read more
