"Chefs Andy Oliver and Mark Dobbie opened Som Saa on Commercial Street in 2016, after meeting at the now-closed Michelin starred Nahm in Belgravia. Som Saa started life as a residency in London Fields and opened its bricks and mortar restaurant thanks to crowdfunding. They opened a second space, in Borough Market, in 2023, and we gave it a five star review, praising its southern Thai cuisine and calling it 'an immensely thoughtful restaurant'."
"The much-loved Spitalfields-based Thai restaurant will open up again on November 11 with a revamped menu that includes a new selection of bar snacks such as pickled mango with fried shrimp paste relish, and rice crackers with grilled cockles and chilli jam. There will also be a brand new selection of specials, including glass noodle claypot with smoked duck and garlic chives, as well as red curry with grilled pork, holy basil and green banana, and a coconut palm heart, prawn and Thai peanut salad. They've also given the interiors a bit of a spruce."
"'The cooking at Som Saa will blow you away: literally and metaphorically. This is not somewhere you come for a cheeky green curry and a plate of pad thai. It's food from Thailand's north-eastern provinces, where nothing gets dumbed down and your tastebuds will be held up at gunpoint.'"
Som Saa will reopen on November 11 after closing in May because of a kitchen fire. The Spitalfields restaurant returns with revamped interiors and an updated menu featuring new bar snacks such as pickled mango with fried shrimp paste relish and rice crackers with grilled cockles and chilli jam. New specials include glass noodle claypot with smoked duck and garlic chives; red curry with grilled pork, holy basil and green banana; and a coconut palm heart, prawn and Thai peanut salad. Founders Andy Oliver and Mark Dobbie opened Som Saa in 2016 and expanded with a Borough Market site in 2023.
