Chon Som is the newest Asian cuisine restaurant in Austin. Nat and Alisa are a family team that come together to serve you the finest (and freshest!) Asian dishes and sushi you can find.
Asian, and Thai food in particular, is growing in popularity all over the world mainly because of the huge variety of dishes. It is also a healthy way to eat with extensive vegetarian options. Thai cooking makes particular use of fresh herbs and spices to create a unique taste that will guarantee to satisfy the discerning palate.
The name Chon Som comes from the Thai words for ‘spoon’ and ‘fork’. Thai use only a spoon and fork for eating – the spoon is used to scoop up the food for eating, while the fork is used to push food onto the spoon. If food on the plate must be cut before eating, the edge of the spoon is used like a knife to cut it.
At Chon Som we believe that your meal should never be rushed and always accompanied with good surroundings, friends and atmosphere.
