You must try the 'Nahm dtok pla thort' or whole deep fried seabass with roasted rice and isaan herbs. It is exceptional!

Christina Cheng

Even better than most Thai I've had in Thailand ,if you are a big fan of spicy food just like I am, this is definitely one of the best choice:)

Big Raktabutr

A full favour of asian (Thai) herb in every dish. If you like deep Thai taste, Som Saa is one of the best authentic Thai cuisine in London. Trust me! I am Thai.

Daren Williams

High quality Thai food with lots of flavours and interesting/original. Go for the set menu (£35) - great balance of meats, salads , sauces and spice! Desserts are pretty good too

Lauren Grimm

Tasting menu is 110% worth it. Mussels are spicy ???? and the sea-bass is to die for! They will refill sticky rice upon request for free!

Jessica

Food is good, but not sure it lives up to the hype. In particular the whole sea bass . Yes it's delicious, but the £17 price tag is pretty steep. Eat as much rice as you like, just £3 per person.

Alan Enriquez

Set menu for 2, 32 pounds pp so amazinggg.try the dragons milk cocktail ! Could very well be best Thai food outside of Thailand

Andrew White

Hands down the best Thai food in London . A class above the rest.

K

Great Isaan food, don't be scared and go for spicy . However having put our names down for 7:30 at 6, we were told to come back at 6:45 (and wait for 45min in the bar ). Rice was warm at best too.

Kunal Shah

We didn’t order the fried sea bass but realised this mistake soon when every table around us had that fish on their table. Nevertheless, whatever we ordered was packed with flavours.

Mark Gourmand

Excellent quality and authenticity . We enjoyed everything except for the very poor Som Tam . This is surprising given that this is a predominantly northern menu.

Rylan Holey

Worth the hype. Wonderful cooking that's delicate and delightful. Service is wonderful too.

Paige

One of the greatest meals I had in London- I still think about that sea bass often ????????

YS Loves

Sea bass and papaya salad . Really tasty food but portions were a bit small.

Vincent

Beef cheek curry and sea bass were delicious. Try the popcorn iced tea and the palm sugar ice cream , too!

Anky Kontogianni

Absolutely fantastic !!! Order to share , everything on the menu is great. pomelo salad , pork with morning glory , sea bass ✌????

Angela Liu

Trendy thai food place which surprisingly is pretty authentic and flavourful

kiptrip

Everyone raves about the seabass , and they're right. Get the seabass . And the morning glory . Yum.

John Sinclair

Amazing. Beef cheek curry and Sea Bass were incredible

Riaz K

Excellent food- try the set menu - gives you a range of the different flavours on offer!

Dmitry Dzhus

Pricy to be a lunch place for me but everything was delicious. 3 dishes for 2 is a good start.

Joon Ian Wong

Incredible food. Everything is good. Rice is unlimited.

Cath Richardson

Go with at least 3 people so you can justify trying everything on the menu. You don't want to miss out!

Shannon Eagan

The sea bass is amazing! Definitely best thing on the menu.

Aleah Nichole

Papaya salad , super spicy ????????????but amazing, and curry was great too. Spot is a must try!

Elias Gerstmayr

Amazing authentic Thai food . Be prepared for a long wait though in the evenings. Rice keeps on coming.

Tony Muraki-Hart

Everything was great. Goat green curry was delicious, as was the octopus

Irene Chung

Insanely long wait . No reservations allowed except for parties of 4, 5, or 6. Most specials were out by the time we were seated.

Anky Kontogianni

Whole Sea Bass , Mullet Curry and Pomelo Salad !!

Brooke Louise

Papaya salad all day every day. Go get it. Vegan menu . Eat it all up. Immediately. ????

Chloe

Spicy , funky and delicious.

Emile Pascoe

Great mix of flavours! Much more creativity that the usual Thai fare.

Simon Saint

Perfect winter Sunday thai brunch to warm up with!

María

I appreciate the concept and the style, but I find it a bit too spicy and slightly overpriced.

Kristen

Great atmosphere, service and delicious Thai food

Zuz

Food was average but they have good Gewürztraminer and cosy-cool atmosphere. Good place for a date :)

Richard N

Delicious thai food - I especially liked the salad dishes.

Mark Gourmand

Dissapointing new menu. Jungle curry was like water. Trout pandan was forgettable. Som tam was much better this time. I brought colleagues and was embarrassed.

Tawan Chiraphandhu

As a Thai, they made good food but this is not authentic Thai taste.I accepted this variation but not my friend. We googled typing in Thai and found a real just around the corner. Try Pantip website

Tj Smart

Samphire fritters have to be tried to be believed!

Jawahar Hingorani

Not your Thai takeaway and not all to my taste!

margherita

For the less adventurous palates grilled chicken was tasty and low on spice

Steph Jones

Come with a small group. Taste everything on the menu. Repeat.

Aisha A

Good food, a little expensive for what it was.

Sarah Spillips

The Seabass it amaamamamamzing!

Harriet

Sea trout and tamarind salad !

Peter Terpak

food ok, but manners awful. just because i was single i needed to eat at the bar because it was not ok for single person to occupy table for 2 :-(. but it was ok for 2 people sitting at table for 4

Anna NYC

Incredible Thai food and great service.

Shannon Low

Not great but decent for Thai food in London . Deep fried sea bass was pretty good but pricey . Portions are small.

Justin Michaels

Literally everything. Authentic spice.
