Casual, compact eatery providing Thai specialties, sushi rolls & Japanese mains, plus beer & wine.
Pot stickers were tasty. I liked them cooked a little more crispy. Good flavor. Sauce was okay. Nothing special.
Spicy mussels were spicy with okay flavor. Again, not wow but good.
Panang curry with tofu and a side of brown rice. The rice could have cooked a little more, no flavor or seasoning, but a goof blend. The curry portion was goof sized and had really good flavor. One spice level from what I could tell and it was not too much or too little. Enjoyable.
Pad tahi with chicken best part of the meal. Super well done and lots of flavor.
Coconut kisses foe dessert was the other really goof part of the meal. Really enjoyed that dessert.
The server was attentive and caring. Atmosphere was clean and homey. Would visit again.
I got the pot stickers, a sushi named something with bears in it and tuna tantaki. The pot stickers were not what I was used to - more seared in a pan than steamed then seared and very crunchy. Meh. Otherwise the sushi and tuna were amazing - my server was very nice and the vibes were immaculate.
Somkit used to be one of out favorite places to eat but sadly they have a sign on the door stating due to covid they are lacking in kitchen help so you should be patient and boy did it prove to be the fact. We were initially the only guests and service still took a very long time. The hostess was outstanding she is very quick and friendly but after that everything took a very long time. The food is definitely not as good as it used to be the Lumpia was over cooked and the filling was lacking in flavor, most of our meal was lacking in flavor and presentation.
We will definitely go back again to give them another chance but we will definitely wait for a while in hopes they get themselves together and it goes back to their past excellence.
We were there today for a buffet. It was a benefit for St Mary's. But this wasn't our first.
The food is amazing. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Great people and great food. Everything on the menu is delicious, no disappointments here. We drove over an hour to gorge ourselves. Highly recommend. Run, don't walk.
Very friendly service and fresh, delicious food. I've only been 3 times, but enjoyed everything each time. A must visit!
Excellent food, slow service. The food was great, I had the pad sew eiw and would order it again. The service was slow despite us being the only customers in the place at the time. I also had the Blue Line drink. I thought it would be a sweet beverage but it wasn’t, no stars deducted since some people prefer non-sweet drinks.
My absolute favorite place to eat in the area. Fried rice is to die for
Very friendly service and fresh, delicious food. I've only been 3 times, but enjoyed everything each time. A must visit!
Great food.
Need to make people pull around if order is not ready!! The alley should not have a line of people waiting.

Great Thai food/ and sushi
Tiny quaint restaurant. I've only tried their sushi, and appetizers, but A+. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a chic place in the city. Crab Rangoon, lumpa, dynamite roll, unagi roll, giant roll. We've never been disappointed.
Amazing food, experience and service. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience here. Such a quaint spot in the middle of a cute downtown area. We got pot stickers, pad Thai, and a delicious salad that was on special. Definitely recommend.
The spring rolls were overcooked. But I have had them when they are not. They are good.
I love this place. I've dined in and out, both are great.
Best sushi ever
Always yummy. I’d just love a green or red curry option.
Excellent food, fair price, clean, great atmosphere, quiet, server's were good
Amazing food with amazing service. I’ve never had a bad experience at this restaurant!! Cannot recommend enough :)
Great food and service. Can't beat it.
I eat here very often and all the food and sushi is very good, the service is very good too, my only complaint is I wish they were more out there with their sake selection on the cold side.
Very disappointed with the sushi. I believe it’s made at a different location. The appetizer soft shell crab was a HUGE waste of money. Maybe next time we’ll go in and try the Thai noodles. The lady on the phone was very nice and helpful.

Safe to say the best healthy restaurant jn town! You will not be disappointed and the place has a great eclectic feel. I've been coming here for years. One thing the business can work on.... training their servers. Twice now parts of my meals have been left in the kitchen when I was ready to go. Servers are inexperienced; different than prior years.
ALWAYS top notch! Customer service is excellent! Orders are ALWAYS on point! They deserve more than 5* so 10/10!!!
Always good food and the staff is great. It's a nice change of pace no burgers here.
Great food and always great service
Really good selection of sushi, lots of other options. Gluten free options available.
Waitresses took forever to take my order and say they will be right with you then the other says has someone taken your order nope not yet. It took them 10 minutes to take my order and then another 10 minute wait finely I got my order after waiting another 20 wait.
This is a really nice and trendy place, but the dishes are really not great at all. I've tried 5 different dishes at this point and the flavor and quality is not there. I've gone to the Thai place in Rock Falls a number of times and its significantly better tasting food.
We dropped in during the Worldwide Metaphysical Tribe's event for dinner and were not disappointed, the food came out quick, hot and delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We will definatly be back~
Amazing service and delicious food as always
Great ambiance! The food was tasty and a nice amount for the price!
This place is amazing! 😍 10/10 will take everyone I know there.
As always the food was good and the sushi was fantastic
What a gem of a restaurant! Friendly service, and even better Thai!
Always amazing always extremely satisfied. 5/5 place like this doesn't need a long review.
Great food! I have always loved their panang chicken curry. It's almost like dessert!
Tried the Panaga Curry. It was excellent. Lot's of flavors with a great Thai basil. Also everybody was very friendly and the service and kitchen speed was great. Would highly recommend.
Very nice place. I had the shrimp and it tasted awesome. First time being there and the service was great. Definitely recommend for anyone. The atmosphere was great.
One of very few top-notch sit-down restaurants in the area. The sushi is very good, definitely rivals some metropolitan sushi bars. Top recommendations on the menu are seaweed salad, spicy fried rice, crazy noodles, salmon skin maki, the Tropical, and their Thai iced tea. Oh, and if you feel adventurous, ask for a special sushi off the menu called The Inappropriate. You won't be dissapointed!
Excellent food,
Great food, wonderful staff.
I've never had a bad experience here and I've gone many times over the years. All the food is great and they're willing to let you make it allergy friendly. Highly recommend!
No where better to eat, never disappointed no matter what you get off the menu
Food was so fresh and amazing
Best Sushi and Thai cuisine around! We dine there and visit The Last Picture Show everytime we're in town.
They took great care of our party of 13. Easy to split the bill in two and cheerful service from all. Really cool atmosphere.
Really unique potstickers! Everyone enjoyed their meal.
Very weird energy.
The food was hot but i don’t think it’s appropriate for servers to take orders and then openly complain about their tables. I guess servers just don’t know how to simply do their jobs and be discreet about their differences with patrons anymore. I’ll just have to stick to Touch of Thai II from now on.
the coffee is excellent- I usually go there for a Thai iced boost when I need it!! But food wise, it is all that's in the area so it is good for what it is- but they don't fine chop or shave any veggies so it doesn't have the same taste as sushi and salads usually do- - I don't order my fav cucumber salad anymore because their veggies are cut so chunky and large that it doesn't taste the same when I get it at other places.... But the coffee is killer, so delicious!!!
The food is just OK. Use to be a lot better few years back.
I can not say enough goods things about this place.
Their food is superior to any sushi I’ve ever had, it’s in its own category for-sure.
Such a special place and especially for it to be in right here in Dixon! The sweet potato roll is absolutely amazing and will always be a favorite.
Could not recommend this place enough!
Great food and timely service. Best Thai restaurant I have been to.
Just passing through Dixon and ordered from Somkit. Excellent Thai food. Got the crazy noodles with Thai spice level, not white midwestern spice. It was hot and spicy with crisp veggies and tender chicken. Cooked it off with the Japanese cucumber salad which was delicately dressed and super crunchy. Great for cooling off after the spicy noodles.
Went here to celebrate a birthday recently. It's still an amazing place to go for great food (awesome sushi!). Can't wait to go back again.
Very good restaurant. Food is simple and very tasty. Street food style stuff.
Excellent food, slow service. The food was great, I had the pad sew eiw and would order it again. The service was slow despite us being the only customers in the place at the time. I also had the Blue Line drink. I thought it would be a sweet beverage but it wasn’t, no stars deducted since some people prefer non-sweet drinks.
The food is delicious here! After moving here from the Chicago burbs, it's amazing to have an excellent Thai place nearby that also has delicious sushi!
Excellent food. Friendly service with a big smile from a very cute waitresses. If you are in Dixon, thus place has my stamp of approval.
Amazing food and great service!
Great food with great service!
Stellar
Always friendly service and a great meal! Our server even saw our 3 yr old struggling with her chop sticks (that she insisted on using since I was) and got her a pair of cheater trainers...she was so excited to actually be using them to eat!
Though prices went up per cost of item, their quality remained the same and the service is the best of what it all has been.
MY FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT! So happy they have vegan and gf options. They don’t compare to anyone! I really think their food is made with love. It’s always so so so perfect. My favorite dishes are the Hawaiian fried rice and the crazy noodles. A bite of heaven for sure. I love them forever
Always a great experience here. Make sure to ask Stephanie behind the bar to make you one of the many drinks she’s created - she’s a genius of a bartender.
Sushi was very good!
Lumpia was good
Crab Rangoon was delicious. Overall nice ambience.
Great refreshing food with great service, would definitely visit again.
Great food and service. Feels like a great place to stop by and hang out while you get a nice smoothie
As a regular customer, I have always found the wait staff friendly! Good menu with standard options for Thai cuisine and sushi. Definitely worth a stop in for lunch or dinner.
Great sushi for the price. The 2 of us were able to share an app and 3 rolls for under $50 before tip.
Good food . Friendly people!!
Somkit is the best sushi place in the Dixon area hands down. Great vibes inside. I always love the music playing. They brought back a few spicy sushis that they temporarily took off the menu during covid. Drinks are amazing. Especially the Spanish Flu tequila cocktail. Would definitely recommend!
Very tasty and fresh! They were very busy with to go orders. I'll have to come back and dine in.
Such good food, always good on time delivery. Dine in is comfortable, good atmosphere.
Absolutely delicious! Up there with the Thai I have eaten in NYC and Chicago.
This was our first sit down visit, we usually order carry out. It is pretty pricey, but it's sushi so thats to be expected. Our waitress was GREAT and the food was brought out fast. It tasted amazing as always. Would recommend if you have the money for an expensive meal.
Always delicious!!
Great food taco Wednesday rules
Great place!
Fantastic! Great food and just the right amount every time. Amazing service through out the quarantine. Could not ask for better people making better food. Thank you to everyone working and keeping us fed!
I bought the Red Curry takeout which turned out to be a $10.00 bowl of broth. I've had it before and loved it. Very disappointing. Before the name change, Touch of Thai was my goto restaurant here in Dixon. I don't know if they changed chefs also, but the change was not for the better. Service and staff are great. Food is okay, but no longer as yummy as I remember.
Somkit is a favorite restaurant of ours. Last week, I mentioned that we might be delayed in picking up our online order but not to worry about it because we had a half hour drive home and planned to just reheat the meal anyway. When my husband picked up the order he found that they had put additional layers of bags around it to further insulate. It is this kind of thoughtfulness that make Somkit a standout among our area restaurants. Amazingly, our food was still hot when we had dinner 50 minutes after it was picked up at the drive-thru.
This is one of the most mediocre overpriced restaurants at which I have ever had the displeasure of dining. Four of us went for dinner last evening and had a variety of different dishes. It was edible. The chicken tasted like it was cooked yesterday, refrigerated and reheated. The service was good despite the fact the restaurant was packed and there were no open tables. The bar was crowded as well. Pretty much, people were being turned away at the door. So, I highly recommend reservations. But why would you? Makes me wonder if anyone knows what Thai food tastes like. Panda Express at the DeKalb I88 oasis is about the same.
Somkit used to be one of out favorite places to eat but sadly they have a sign on the door stating due to covid they are lacking in kitchen help so you should be patient and boy did it prove to be the fact.

Delicious food, friendly staff, pleasant environment.
I like to be touched by Thai. That what Somkit means, to be pleasantly touched by Thais.
Somkit was amazing! I was skeptic about the sushi at first because I'm picky but I actually loved it! Oh yeah and decent prices!
Delicious Gluten Free options and the staff has some knowledge of it. I once was called before they started the order to make sure I had known I ordered something that wasn’t gluten free. That was very considerate and the staff went above and beyond with that and it was appreciated. I’ll continue to recommend this place and get the Pad Thai.
A true gem in Dixon! Great atmosphere and amazing sushi. I visit frequently!
Food was good not great, service was also good. Restaurant was nice
We had a negative experience our first time to this restaurant. Stephanie, the general manager, reached out to me and my wife asking for another chance. The 2nd time around was perfect in every way possible. The food was absolutely amazing. The service was prompt and attentive. We left a big fan of this establishment and we will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you Stephanie and your staff for such a wonderful dining experience!
Good service, good food, not a fan of the scanner to access a menu. Since I have had a vaccine I do not want technology at my table.
Overall a good expieriance again.

The Pad Thai is phenomenal!! I highly recommend, although steer clear of the sushi. High price for low quality, TINY portions. If you want authentic Thai cuisine this is the place for you, but if you want sushi your best bet would be driving a ways to a sushi restaurant.
The food is awesome
Great cocktails, food and hospitality. Elliot (mixologist and GM) made me a his take on a Negroni, fantastic. I will be back. Thank you.
Very good.. fresh
Lunch at dinner price.
It was great it was like they went on vacation and came back better and refreshed
Best restaurant in dixon hands down
Great service, great food.
Amazing tasting food 😋 always stuffed and satisfied
High quality food. Great ambiance
Blessed to have high quality sushi in Dixon
Great sushi and service.
Food is delicious, but the price has gotten way too expensive. If you order a drink with no ice you get a half to three quarters full glass. Used to be affordable and reasonable, but now they have priced themselves out of the market, especially for the area. Waitress was completely clueless.
Me and my husband finally made it here to eat. OMG it was amazing. Hats off to the chef!! Great food amazing. Loved the decor and the atmosphere. We will definitely be back!! Worth every penny.
Service was good, and the food was fine. Decent price. No complaints.
Bomb!
Best restaurant in the area. This is Chicago-quality dining right in the heart of Dixon. The food is exquisite, and don’t even get me started on the cocktails. Be sure to meet Elliott - Somkit’s mixologist extraordinaire. He is quite simply Dixon’s finest 😍
Great service and one of the best atmospheres for a date night.
