I went in for lunch today as I was craving for some Thai food after getting my hair done near by and I was not disappoint with the service nor the quality of food. I had the thai iced tea, calamari, spring roll, Pad Z-U from lunch special, and mango sticky rice.

I was greeted by and amazingly taken care by Steve and the other lovely waitress who took my order. Steve just somehow can read my mind and offered thai iced tea and mango sticky rice. The food is phenomanal. The thai iced tea is great, the calamari is different from the American calamari as it is not oily and not fully coated with flour but its crispy on the healthier side, spring roll is crispy and goes well with the sauce it comes with, Pad Z-U is deliciously full of flavor and the flat noodle is not too oily nor too sticky, and I ended with my favorite of all dessert, the mango sticky rice. Their mango sticky rice is fresh and yummy with a sprinkle of mango flavor rice crispies. Total yummers! I was by myself but I will definately come back again with my fiance another time.

Per a friend’s recommendation, I popped into Zom Tum to order takeout on a Wednesday evening around 6 p.m. A kind staff member helped me right away and within 15 minutes, I was out the door with our food.

Everything we ordered came in hearty portions and full of flavor. The spicy basil fried rice was excellent. My eight-year-old daughter devoured the fried rice with chicken. My wife loved the drunken noodles with chicken and the larb. The tom yum soup was delicious. For dessert, the mango and sticky rice was excellent.

The space itself is the old Joselito space along Pennsylvania Avenue SE near the Eastern Market Metro. There’s bar seating and a large dining room with tables.

Really excellent restaurant. Great combination of both well-known Thai dishes that are well executed, as well as some very new and different Laotian dishes with innovative and surprising flavors. Extremely authentic in an excellent location with warm and attentive service. Stay for dessert – Their homemade coconut ice cream is outstanding!

During a recent lunch break, we stumbled upon ZomTum, a vibrant new Laos-Thai bistro near Eastern Market, and decided to give it a try. We’re so glad we did! The experience was marked by reasonable prices, delicious food, and warm, friendly service.
We ordered two dishes to start our exploration of their menu:
5*Pad Thai: This dish was absolutely perfect. The noodles were cooked just right—not too hard nor too soft-and the dish was wonderfully colorful and full of flavor.
3*Papaya Salad: The salad was fresh and authentic, but it was a bit too spicy for our personal preference.

Overall, we had a fantastic first visit. The combination of great food and a welcoming atmosphere has us excited to return. We can’t wait to go back and try their other offerings, like the fiery drunken noodles or the mango sticky rice!

Was in DC for the weekend and this gem popped up on yelp when I set the filters to organize my search for lunch by the highest rating. This is a five star spot!!! The service was so friendly and quick. The food was so fresh and full of flavor. I ordered the som tum with sticky rice and it was bursting with flavour. Definitely a must for a delicious and filling lunch!

We were staying in the capital hill area on our way back from walking to the Capital and stumbled across Zomtum Thai restaurant. The service was slow going at first but the appetizers and main dishes made up for it all. We enjoyed egg rolls and LI ice teas… my main was the shrimp pad Thai. Everything was hot and good Thai flavors.

The food here is truly delicious — I loved it from the very first bite. The flavors are fresh and comforting, and the portions are fair. The atmosphere and cleanliness could be a bit better, but very gently — just small details that would make the experience even nicer. Overall, a tasty spot that’s definitely worth trying.

Probably one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve had in years, and definitely my new favorite in DC. The food was amazing. I had the calamari for an appetizer and the Siamese Kaprow (chicken) for an entree. Both were cooked to perfection. This will definitely be my new go to spot in DC. The service was great, management was so nice! Definitely add this place to your list.

I had the pleasure of dining at ZomTum, where Thai and Lao cuisine come together in perfect harmony. I ordered the Khao Soi and tried the Lao-style Som Tum( papaya salad) for the first time. The menu offers Thai and Lao versions of Som Tum, and I was truly impressed by the unique flavors of the Lao-style dish- it was absolutely delicious.

The interior is stylish, with beautiful marble tables, communal seating, and a charming bar area. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, adding to the restaurant’s unique and vibrant atmosphere-in the best kind of eccentric way.

I was genuinely moved by the attention to detail and authenticity in both the Thai and Lao offerings. I can’t wait to go back!!
