Som Saa

The service is fantastic, the waitress is knowledgeable about the food and suggestions. Food taste and texture are spot on, just a little too salty for all of us. Our favourite dishes are the sea bass with fresh herbs, the chicken skewers were very tender n aromatic. Our least favourite is the red mullet with turmeric sauce, just bland and found it lost in "translation." Atmosphere is vibrant. Great job as they kept the menu simple, great presentation, with good cocktails too! Love to return again. Keep the salt level down.

It was a great night out with work colleagues, I was hesitant about going there thinking won’t have anything for Halal options, but while we were offered to seat by the waiter who tentatively over heard our conversation about vegan and halal options and promptly replied that we have vegan menu as well as some halal dishes. Food was delicious, the grilled chicken and fried fish was mind blowing. Definitely recommend to others. Food prices are reasonable but alcoholic drinks were a bit pricey but it didn’t bother me as I don’t drink.

On a recommendation from my friend, I was curious to come to this place…. As friend had been several times…. Oh the anticipation lol We arrived and were told the table wasn’t ready that Saturday night @ 8pm so had drinks at the bar… the prices for the drinks, the two cocktails we had were definitely cheaper than central London, which was a bonus…. and equally tasty the only negative thing was the small glass my cocktail ‘apiron’ was served in @ £11…. We were able to read the menu and it wasn’t very noisy which was good, Then we were taken through to the table/restaurant which was quite full a lovely waitress ‘uma’ which served us during the night offered us some recommendations which was appreciated…. Mate said go of the sea-bass, and a lot of tables had ordered that I saw 👀 I had a beer the wife water, and we ordered the chicken skewer, citrus cured prawns ( b warned there extremely spicy 🌶️) as starter Jungle venison curry ( not what I expected, anti climax ) x2 rice & sea bass as main… the dish’s more or less all arrived together/within minutes apart, not what we expected but no drama…. The problem was although the food was lovely my taste buds were destroyed from the prawn entree… Uma Suggested some jasmine water which was appreciated…. We finished with jackfruit sticky rice and palm sugar ice cream which eased my taste buds… apparently my wife said was face was like a beetroot from the spicy food which I’m used to… however it was a bit OTT level… Overall a nice meal, in a fashionable area for restaurants… The million dollar question which one is the best…. Speed boat bar or kiln or this place…. As kiln is table side cooking probably wins… and speed boat had some fantastic dish’s to so possibly beats som saa as well…. Depending what u order… However som saa decor is winner…

What a great place to get authentic Thai food. This restaurant serves up seriously tasty plates, with a deep, spicy, sweet, saucy mix of gorgeous ingredients that take you straight to Thailand. The plate size is more than ample, and we loved that the style is "sharing" meals (meaning you can try a few dishes). The Mango Sticky Rice is something else. Wow! The cocktails are also superb. The ambience is dark, fast, and has all the right vibes. 5*
