Sukho Thai

One reader’s wild claim that this is ‘the best Thai restaurant in the UK’ overstates the case, but there’s no doubting that unassuming Sukho Thai is the real deal when it comes to authentic South-East Asian cuisine. Good-value, ‘excellent quality’ dishes such as pla tod sam rod (whole, de-boned sea bass with a chilli, tamarind & lemongrass sauce) or plah tuna (a salad of thinly sliced tuna in lemongrass & fresh mint vinaigrette) offer something different from your average neighbourhood Thai joint – although curries, stir-fries, noodles & other usual suspects are also on show. The dimly lit, dark-wood interior is in line with nearby sibling Suksan, although it undoubtedly plays second fiddle to the accomplished cooking & polite, efficient service.
