Suksan

went to dinner with friends last night to Suksan (march 25, 2011) and loved it. we have been to sooooo many thai restaurants in london living here for 10 years and having worked in thailand for a year. this one was delicious, a bit pricey but we thought definitely worth it. For starters we enjoyed the spring rolls and loved the soft shell crab, didn't love the papaya salad. mains we ordered 3 beef dishes (all pretty small in size) including a thai beef curry which was exactly how you would get it in thailand and loved the seabass redcurry in the banana leaf (best main dish). the rioja wine was pleasant with the meal and priced at £20. yes we are going back very soon even though the restaurant is a fair distance away. yes the service was a bit slow but i guess we didn't mind as we there were 6-7 of us and we had plenty to chat about.

Friday night, I took my girlfriend out for dinner. We love thai food and we thought was a good Idea to try a new restaurant.

The place wasn't too full, staff friendly and good service. not so much the food unfortunately.

Both our starters arrived cold, long wait between the courses. main course was good, however small portions and overpriced in my opinion.

It is perplexing to read so many bad review of this gem in Chelsea. I live close to the place and i have been there several times and i have passion for good food.

The place is elegant with a colonial touch. Very nice furniture and table are quite elegante and so the table setting. Very local touch too.

Personell is incredible nice, warm and professional.

Food is outstanding, especially the curries. We tried several dishes and all the time we remain impressed by freshness of the food, starting from the Thai steam rice, which it is not so simple to do.

i would encourage everybody to go there.
