Saamrot (サームロット) - Thai & Vietnamese food *****

This is probably one of my favorite south-east asian restaurants in Tokyo. This small place, on the second floor in Kabuki-cho, is serving both Thai and Vietnamese food. There is limited seating only, with about 10 small tables. 

The extensive menu has a good selection of Vietnamese food, ranging from pho (traditional soup), banh seo (omelet), shrimp on sugar cane, spring rolls and harumaki. There is of course a large choice of curries, as well as noodle and rice dishes. There are also exotic drinks and a fair selection of bottled beers.

The only inconvenient thing might be the karaoke-type thai music being passed on several monitors in the restaurant (fortunately not too loudly), but apart of that, this is a very recommendable place if you want to eat Thai/Vietnamese food. Most dishes are between 800-1100 yen, and the table charge is 300 yen per person; This will keep the overall bill at less than 3500-4000 yen per person with drinks, a reasonable price for food of this quality.
