Sombat's Fresh Thai Cuisine Review

The name says it all. Fresh local ingredients highlight proprietor Sombat Parente's menu (many of the herbs come from her own garden) to create authentic and tasty Thai treats like coconut curries, fresh basil rolls, eggplant stir-fry, and green papaya salad. You can have most dishes prepared with your choice of tofu, pork, beef, chicken, or fish. The weekday lunch plate special is a steal ($7-$9). And if you can't leave the island without it, Sombat's famous pad thai sauce is available to take home in jars.
