    Warm welcome, 4 of us for lunch. There was a la carte and a set menu to choose from, but the set menu is only provided for the whole table. Luckily, the dishes on the set menu today were cashew nuts with chilli and lime leaves, a beautiful, crunchy salad, duck curry, excellent mixed vegetables in garlic and oyster sauce, plus sticky and jasmine rice. We paid a supplement for a whole sea bass, fried. Dessert was also included.

    Outstanding food, best we have eaten outside of Thailand, Nahm (sadly long closed) and Kiin Kiin (in Copenhagen). Definitely going again, can still taste the zing 3 days later!!

    Service was below average with things forgotten. Food was average to good but the venison was tough as old boots. What really let the side down was the drinks list, it was extremely overpriced and poor quality which detracted from the whole experience.

    Food was excellent as usual. The highlight was the deep fried seabass and the palm sugar ice cream. Ambience was fairly chilled for a Sunday lunch and the service was attentive but non intrusive. For authentic Thai food with nice vibes, I'd highly recommend this restaurant *****

    I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Som Saa from the food to the personable service. We shared a few plates including the fried sea bass which was the star centrepiece.
