Always amazing, authentic Thai restaurant. I've had most of the menu entrees at one point or another, and I've never had a bad dish. The chicken coconut soup, cucumber salad, Pad Thai, Red curry, Garlic Garlic and Ginger Garden are some of my go-tos. read more

On our way from Portland to Seattle, we needed to find a place to stop for lunch. We put in our usual search terms for Thai and didn't know what we would find, but up popped Somsiri Thai in Chehalus, Washington. The restaurant is decorated in bright colors and the first thing you notice is that the menus are printed off inside of old record albums! I loved it! Mine was South Pacific, which caused me to hum show tunes for the rest of the trip. I ordered the White River Noodle and my husband ordered Lava Curry. They brought us water in a big decorative decanter, which I also loved. I like it when I don't have to worry about whether or not my water will be kept filled - especially when eating Thai food! My husband's curry arrived, looking amazing. He said it was the most complex and had the best depth of flavor of any curry he has ever eaten! It had chicken, bell peppers, bamboo shoots and basil. He went with heat #4, which was plenty hot for him. He also liked that it had the option of brown rice. My White River Noodles were also amazing. Full of flavor and richness. It had such big chunks of food on the top, at first I thought they had forgotten the noodles! I had heat #2 and it was just right for me. Excellent food and service! read more

Best thai restaurant in town. Service 5 Atmosphere 4 Taste 5 Price 4 All the people working there are nice. They close on monday and tuesday. I wish they open all seven days. Again best thai food within 50 miles. read more

Atmosphere: Casual / warmer toned lights Price: $$ Service: A-OK Parking: Street parking (no meters) Other: They use random Vinyl Record covers as their menu covers. Note: This is a pay up front restaurant. Once you receive your check - you're welcomed to walk up to the register to pay your bill. Review on Service/Taste/Overall Impression Service: 3 Stars! A-OK but I'm still a fan! Routine check in's on how you're doing with your meal etc was not an emphases in their service. IF they did - I would have tipped more (but I don't tip less than 20%). We were only given one glass of water which was not refilled. Note that if you order drinks like Thai Ice Tea or Thai Ice Coffee etc - there isn't a refill. You'd have to pay for another order. SO, please don't be shy if you want more drinks - just flag one of the servers down. If you don't, you'll be waiting for a while. Taste: Appetizer: We love their Crab Delight - the texture with the sweet plum sauce goes very well together. The crab mix inside is partnered with cream cheese - which works very well. Dish: Orange Chicken - Just a heads up...this is not your typical orange chicken you'd find in Panda Express or other fast food joints. Their orange chicken is more like chicken broccoli dishes. It's a boiled dish soup with 70 % brocolli/soup and only 30 % or less on the boiled chicken. It's an okay dish. Pros: - Descent. They are not small servings. - Taste is average/good. No, you won't disappointed but you won't be overly impressed. - Pho' is good (including their tofu Pho) Cons: - Somsiri is just an average Thai location. NO - it's not horrible. The customer service, atmosphere and cost contributes to that statement. If there is a Con I could really pin-point with my experience there - it would be the last check out. The gentlemen at the register did not acknowledge me standing there waiting to pay my bill after I said "Hello". He waited till he was completely done with what he was doing/sorting before he looked up to assist me. Desert: - Unknown The final question is: Would I come back? Yes, why not. It's not bad and does help a little when I have Thai cravings. Not the BEST Thai place I've been to but I'd go again. read more

Amazing food and service. Always busy. They have so many options on their menu -which I've tried about half of at this point - and everything is good. One of my favorite local spots! :) read more

Meal: Dinner, dine in All Ratings out of 10: Quality of food: 6 Food to Spend Value: 7 Quality of Service: 6 Overall Rating: 6 The Pacific NW has a lot of great Thai restaurants, and in general it is one of my favorite styles of Asian cuisine. While driving down to Portland from Seattle we decided to find some dinner and discovered a Thai restaurant seemingly in the middle of nowhere in Chehalis. The reviews looked promising, so we decided to check it out. We started with 2 appetizers: Spring Rolls and Crab Delight. Both were served with a plum sauce. The spring rolls were fairly pedestrian in my opinion, not bad but not great either. The crab delight was on par with what I have had at other Thai restaurants, though they still seemed to be a step down from what I was used to. Overall the apps were good but not amazing. We ordered 2 main dishes: Basket of the Sea and Yellow Pineapple Fried Rice. I love seafood specialty dishes, and the Basket of the Sea seemed to be the feature for Somsiri. It contained shrimp, squid, salmon, and mussels, mixed with cabbage, spinach, red curry paste, coconut, and egg. It was served in a bowl in foil, giving it the appearance of a foil basket. It was a decent dish and had a nice flavor, but again it wasn't exceptional. The seafood didn't taste very fresh at all, and I felt like the secret to the dish was more around chili paste than it was around melding flavors. It was definitely filling, but it left a lot to be desired. The Yellow Pineapple Fried Rice was better in my opinion, but it was not to the same level as other pineapple fried rice I have eaten elsewhere. Somsiri's version consisted of pineapple, yellow curry powder, raisins, cashews, white onions, peas, and carrots. It did have a nice flavor that was much more balanced than the Basket of the Sea, and it did also pair nicely with the Basket of the Sea (though you did lose much of the flavor complexity at that point). The prices were in line with most sit down Thai restaurants I have eaten at in the Pacific NW. The food was very fresh and came in very nice portions. The service was very minimal, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it wasn't very memorable either. The food was decent but not exceptional. Overall my experience was average, meaning I wouldn't go out of my way to visit Somsiri again, but I wouldn't avoid it either if I was in the area and looking for dinner. read more

I love this place!! Great Pho noodle soup and summer rolls. The garlic fried rice is definitely one of our favorites. A true gem in this city and the people are super nice. read more

Really great food, but I won't be going back after seeing their kitchen staff not wearing masks during a pandemic. If you are immuno-compromised, I would avoid this place until all of this is over. read more

Some story Thai is an amazing small-town restaurant. You can't go wrong and their lunch specials are very affordable.

Wonderful fresh and delicious, we love authentic Thai food. They do offer spicy options which we love and are actually spicy!

This place is an absolute godsend in Lewis county, magical land of bad bar food and worse service. Last night was the third time I've been there, and they accommodated my large party with ease and grace. The food was fantastic, Tom kah soup being the star player of the evening. The service was wonderful, and considering our group was of 18, the wait wasn't that bad. I cannot recommend this place enough! One tip: their 5 star rating system is a little heavy handed. Anything above a 2 or 3 star, be prepared for a meltdown! Definitely not for the faint of heart, or stomach. read more

This is as good as any Thai we've had in the big cities... seriously - even better! We are a big fan of the sesame eggplant, crab wontons, Pad see ew, yakisoba, yum yum soup (yum!), and more! Great service and great vibe... I wish my husband liked Thai as much as I did or we'd be here all the time! read more

Ignore the other privileged ass reviewers who want to whine about them "not being open" or not having the palette to appreciate what is VERY damn near authentic-tasting Thai cuisine. I have been a loyal customer for just under 2 years now, and am never disappointed by the quality of food and service. I've never eaten ANYWHERE that uses as good quality ingredients (especially meat) as they do, and the spicing is absolutely fantastic. My nestmate and I eat out here whenever we can. read more

Foodie beware. Authentic thai cuisine here! My favorite thai place in this town. Unfortunately they don't serve soy veg meat anymore. #falsehope. Boo. Tofu is better for us anyway. Can you update your menu anyway? Although they are closed for business on days they say they are open and open on the day they say they are closed (tues) I can't hate them because I love their food! You can never go wrong ordering pad kee Mao, pad see ew, and fried rice. Their medium level of spice is mild... In my opinion. read more

Somsiri Thai - Phad kee Mao with steamed tofu! - Thai Near Me - Chehalis, Washington

I probably would have given more stars if we didn't have to wait so long for our meals. My mom and i both got phad Thais which were good. Good enough to have waited 40 minutes for? No. We also ordered 2 Thai ice teas that we never received which we then were charged for. They were fine with removing them from our bill and did so gracefully. All in all they just needed more help. There were only three people working there. If you don't have any time constraints you would probably just do fine here. read more

I just can give one star for the attitude about they run the business. The do the really good food for no doubt, but I try to dine in couple times they suppose to be open but they don't!! If you drive from the long way, don't forget call them first, don't believe the hourly on YELP. Because THEY DONT FOLLOW IT!! I hate they close for not follow the business hours ,but the really make the good food. Damn it. read more

Well, we are still looking for good fresh Thai food. This is ok if you just gotta have your Thai fix but when you've had better just "ok" is hard to live with. Also the interior of the joint is not inviting. There was actually a workout machine in the hallway to the yucky bathroom. The guy who waited on us had what looked like his normal hang around home watching tv or doing car repair clothes. If I owned this place I sure would require the help to dress up a bit, and I would spruce up the decor for sure. The tables need new table cloths!!! Come on people! Let's give it a face lift! read more

I was in Chehalis for a overnight work trip and my co-worker and I were excited to try this place as it had 4/5 stars on yelp. The atmosphere of this restaurant gives a old school vibe and the service was great, but the food could have been better. The menu had a lot of options, which was exciting. I ordered Chicken Phad Thai and my co-worker got the Coconut Soup. Our food came out rather quickly, but my noodles were reheated! My food did not taste fresh, which was very disappointing. I really wanted to like this place. read more

VERY good THAI FOOD! Generous portions. Choices for spicyness. It's in Chehalis where good restaurants go to Support it, please. I THAI TEA (very good), SUMMER ROLL (very good, a bit too much lettuce, worth ordering), PHAD THAI ( should be for 2, medium was too hot for me). There are 70 menu items for me toward my way through! Try it! read more

The best place to get Thai food in Lewis county is also good enough to give some Olympia favorites a run for their money. The wait can be lengthy on days when there are special events in the community, or at high school. My favorite appetizer: garlic chicken wings. Perfect,crispy, garlicky goodness. Flavorful curries, fresh ingredients and excellent service in a family owned restaurant read more

So delicious! The Emerald curry is so flavorful and good, and the service is quick and friendly! The Thai iced tea is the best around! My daughters ordered fried rice and ramen noodles and both loved their orders. If you aren't used to spice...don't go straight for a "3". Worth the drive, will definitely be back when the 'Rona is gone. read more

THEY ADDED AN EXTRA TIP TO MY BILL! I left a cash tip and forgot to sign my receipt, they took it up themselves to add $10 to my receipt. Theft and forgery at its best! The food is decent but I will not be back after knowing what kind of humans they are. read more

I would give it 5 stars but I have to try more dishes to do that.It was my first time trying Thai food and it was delicious! Can't wait to be back. read more

Excellent Tom Kha, sometimes it's hard to find good Thai food outside of larger cities. This place does not disappoint.

First time here. Both our dishes were excellent. Cute & clean inside. Very Generous helpings. Great service. Veggies perfectly done. Chicken was tender and fatless. Sauces were authentic. Accurate heat measurement. (They don't dumb down the heat for white people!) Great meal! read more

Found this place on Yelp on our way to Seattle from Vancouver, WA. What a great find! Close off the freeway; authentic Thai food; great flavors; very spicy at level 3. The negative remark I'll make is that service took a little longer since the place was still hopping near closing with only 1 person acting as hostess, server, and busser. It was fine for us. We were low key tonight. read more

Food was good but the service took a bit longer than expected. We had a party of 6 for a later lunch and was put at a table in the back, so I felt we were almost out of sight out of mind. But everyone in our party enjoyed the food. Would have given 5 stars if we were served quicker. read more

Best Thai food around. Always one of our first choices when mama doesn't have to cook.

As far as Thai restaurants go, this one is alright. We started with the spring rolls which came out hot and fresh. The sweet and sour sauce was ok but not as good as other restaurants in the area. 4/5 We shared a plate of pad Thai and basil fried rice, and while they weren't bad, they were a little bland which was disappointing. The pad Thai tasted...odd. Not off, but the flavor just wasn't on point for me. At least the food came out hot, which tells me out was fresh. Portion sizes were generous too. 3.5/5 In all, this place is ok, but there are better Thai restaurants out there. read more

One of my wife and I's favorite places to eat at or order take out from. During COVID we've enjoyed many meals from them! Even though it's the only Thai in Lewis County it rivals any Thai I have had from other cities. read more

I'm a fan. We'll grab takeout from these guys sometimes. Overall always good. We haven't dined inside which I suppose is why I didn't give it 4 stars. If we ever choose to dine inside(given our time constraints and child obligations I'll either bump up/or down. Assuming I'll go up though. The foods usually spot on. read more

I love the food here....when you can find them open. Believing Somsiri is open on Wednesday we called to place a takeout order. Noone answered the phone so we left a message. Arrived to pick up the order and they were closed. Would love to be eating White River Noodle and Spring Rolls tonight......maybe our order will be ready tomorrow read more

Love their food, of course when they're open! Never really disappointed with their food at all. I appreciate that their in the area, to help change up the blandness of our local eateries. read more

Great food and service, we got a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food for kids and grownups. Everything was great across the board, highly recommended!! read more

Never open at posted business hours. Can never rely on it for big parties or anything and the food is mediocre at best

This place is still the best Thai food I have found since moving to Washington. Everything here is made fresh and consistently delicious. The portions are big enough to share... although you may not want to. The service can be slow. But it's run by a family, so be patient. It's definitely worth the wait! If you're a newbie to this place, try the Pad Thai, Noodle on a Rock or Basil Fried Rice ... you won't regret it! read more

Great spot. We stopped by its just off the 5 freeway and has good quality Thai. Delicious food, friendly staff, clean restaurant. I would go back. read more
