Som Tam Thai Restaurant in Hammersmith and Fulham

Pleasant service but the food was mediocre. Some work colleagues from Chile were visiting and wanted to eat Thai food - we’ve never been here before despite living round the corner but were short of time. The Tripadvisor reviews reassured us. We had gang massaman and a red curry and both sauces tasted and looked much the same. Commercially processed and bought in perhaps. Nothing seemed freshly hand made. The chicken was tough. Sadly won’t be returning.

Wonderful, warm evening with outstanding food, lovely wine and great company. As a vegetarian, ask for the recommendations, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended!

Found this absolute gem wirh friends and had the amazing set lunch. Had Dim sum and Pad Thai and was very tasty and excellent value. Definitely recommend

Having family living in Bangkok I have a strong love of Thai cuisine from Street food to high end dining, and here, on the always amazing Askew road we have a Thai restaurant second to none. The charming host is always welcoming, friendly and efficient, the service is courteous, prompt and unobtrusive and always comes with a smile! We both love the titular Som Tam salad and I do have a liking for Soft shelled Crab, but it is their sumptuous noodle dishes that amaze and tickle the taste buds, always fresh hot and brimming with flavour!

Such a delicious Thai green curry and amazing fish cakes - so tasty and delicious - first time I have ordered from here but would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We have had an eye on this restaurant since spotting it in the Summer as it looked authentic & so we were pleased to see it reopen. The menu was traditional Thai as we had hoped & the restaurant is clearly having a decent run on takeaways, which is good to see in these challenging times for restauranteurs. Our food was very good, particularly my Thai Basil Chicken & Prawn. Just missed 5 stars as the atmosphere could have done with just a little more theatre, although to be fair, a new waitress was being trained on the night who looked promising.

SUCH good Thai !! Very attentive and friendly front of house. Never had a bad meal - highly recommend !

I am not a foodie! But boy I have never tasted such delicious food in my life.. you can taste each ingredient individually.. which I was informed was bought fresh on the day! Clive and Ray are wonderful hosts!!! And the atmosphere at the restaurant just adds to the whole experience.. definitely coming back!!! Just cannot get enough..

What an amazing restaurant. Food was completely delicious. Can’t wait to go back. Our favourite place to go out

I have been coming here for ages. I have never tasted better Thai food. It is moreover great value and the service is fantastic. Clive and Ray are great hosts. I often think I'm going to find better elsewhere but genuinely cant think of anywhere better in London. Seriously. I wholeheartedly recommend Som Tam.

This is a tremendous little neighbourhood restaurant. The food is always great and the service I good as well. If you are in west London it is definitely worth a try

This restaurant is a real find! The food was delicious and great value. I am vegetarian and they have a really good selection of veggie dishes. In particular I loved the tofu satay and the Vegetable Pad Thai. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and made us feel at home. We had a fantastic evening at this restaurant and we’ll definitely be back!

This is the best Thai I have eaten in London. My regret is not finding this restaurant when I lived near by! The food was scrumptious, service spot on despite the restaurant being full that evening and the prices very affordable. See some photos attached of the excellent presented and tasty food that was served this evening. If you live in west London or visiting then this place is a must!!

A good value (by London standards) Thai restaurant. Most dishes were excellent and the place has a pleasant atmosphere. Fast service and friendly staff. Seems to attract a lot of local business.

Eaten lots of Thai food and this is the best that i have had in! been going there as a family for years- very intimate and tasty find on askew road. highly recommend tom ka gai soup and mussuman curry! they also give takeaways

Seguendo le recensioni sono stato questa a mangiare . Locale affollato . Personale accogliente cordiale . Servizio rapido . Qualità dei cibi molto buona e prodotti thailandesi originarli ! Prezzo molto elevato però ! Consideranti tutti gli aspetti comunque consigliabile

We come here regularly, luckily our boys aged 10 and 13 are fairly adventurous so we come as a family. The food is always delicious and the service is great. We feel very lucky to have Som Tam on our doorstep!

Highly recommend their Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, Satay Chicken and Green Curry, very authentic Thai you can get in London with a decent price. Cosy small restaurant, Friendly staffs! Never get disappointed.

From a very pick/foody family. This thai is our favourite in london. Recommend the beef salad (unbelievably good), the thom kha gai and the egg fried rice. Wont be disappointed

Habían pasado algunos años desde que tuve la oportunidad de comer en Som Tam, habiendo vivido a la vuelta de la esquina anteriormente y he sido regular. Mi reciente visita con buenos amigos fue la oportunidad de verlo de nuevo. A la llegada fue obvio que había cambios en marcha. La bienvenida fue tibia. Descubrí que había nuevos dueños, menos comprometidos. Pedimos nuestros viejos favoritos, entrantes mixtos y tuve un Phad Thai con gambas. Ambos eran sabrosos y abundantes. Era una noche de viernes muy concurrida, muchas entregas saliendo. Fue difícil atraer la atención del personal. Pagó la factura: pensé que era un poco caro dado que teníamos y el nivel de servicio.

We visited the restaurant on the spur of the moment for the first time and were pleasantly surprised. I had the prawn tempura which was lightly crumbed and not battered. Followed with a green chicken curry which was different to the usual Thai in that it was not as thick as many other restaurants. Accompanied by a King Prawn dish which was tasty and well flavoured. We liked the informality of the restaurant and appreciated the attention to service. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and we will be back.

First time I had eaten at a Thai restaurant. Pleasant atmosphere. Very attentive staff. Delicious food. We shared the set menu and there was plenty of choice. 2 of us do not eat meat and staff obliged by giving us fish dish as alternative to one of the meat dishes even though we did not particularly request this which we appreciated. Restaurant is quite small so it is advisable to book.

Not bad but no nearly as good as expected. Service was average, pushing for consumption. Although the food is quite OK, I have had equally good elsewhere so not worth a detour.

The food at this restaurant is good, it's authentic, but the service is not as friendly as we expected. They are not sales orientated and they don't adapt to the needs of their guests.

Cucina thailandese che riesce a garantire un buon livello. Ottimi red chiken curry e spicy ribs. Servizio veloce e prezzi giusti.

Ate a Mussaman curry, taste was good with loads of herbs. Also tried the red curry of my friend which was okay, but not as good as it can be in my opinion.

Este es el lugar donde puedo encontrar auténtica cocina tailandesa más asequible y un gran servicio. Estoy tailandesas para poder encontrar real y adecuada de cocina tailandesa es una cena gozoso para mí

Este ha sido siempre un gran restaurante relación con excelente comida. A menudo es completo pero cn generalmente hueco. Además de ir con amigos y/o familia me dan una semana para llevar - no puedo ir desde ya sin un plato tam som.

Vivimos muy cerca de este restaurante y nos encanta por su eficiente servicio y comida sabrosa. Hay un buen menú de almuerzo que es razonable. También hacen llevar, y nunca he tenido que esperar mucho tiempo para la colección. Especialmente como el pad Thai.

It is our favourite local Thai restaurant. We especially like the Tom Yum soup, green and yellow curry.

Otro gran restaurante en el vibrante derechas Road, con una variedad de diferentes comidas étnicas que satisface la mayoría de los gustos. Som Tam no es muy grande, es acogedor y el servicio es rápido. Dicen ofrecer comida, ya lo puedes encontrar en Tailandia y el menú es muy bueno. Fuimos por un entrante y un plato principal cada y todos estaban contentos. El wonton y el dim sum eran buenas, y para los principales, fuimos a las más seguras opciones y probamos el tailandés pad, curry verde arroz frito o fideos de soja. Una comida muy agradable, con un precio muy razonable!

Estoy avergonzado que ha tardado tanto en revisión Som Tam Restaurante Tailandés como he disfrutado su comida durante años. Gran relación calidad-precio y la comida deliciosa, estoy vegetariana y particularmente me encanta el Som Tam Ensalada y Tofu Satay.

Fuimos a este restaurante como cuatro de nuestro grupo son vegetarianos y Som Tam tiene un menú vegetariano - mi hijo pidió fuego verduras desde este menú y me pareció que sabía firmemente de peces. Al preguntar el camarero de este le dijeron que usar Salsa de pescado. No había disculpa y él fue traído otro plato que era un plato soso de verduras. Hablamos con el gerente, quien dijo que a él le pareció vegetarianos comieron pescado! ! !

Loved this place but my brother ordered vegetable on fire from the vegetarian menu that came out tasting of fish. We complained and didn't get an apology, just said Thai food always has fish sauce and if it didn't have fish it would be called a vegan dish. Unfortunately won't be going again now - such a shame as thought this was a great local place. Was handled really badly. Surely people nowadays know fish isn't considered vegetarian! Why even have a veggie menu. Poor

All food very good taste and very wonderful services. Tom yum kung, lab ped, pad thai.Wrapped Duck to start.

Old meat, burnt sesame prawn toast, and elementary cooking. Very very poor experience. If you know and like good Thai food, don't waste your money here.

I have been to a lots of Thai restaurant. The food here is one of the best Thai so far. Especially the chef and kitchen staffs here are Thai and Pad Thai is most popular dish here. Very good food and friendly. Most of the customer here are regular and local. It didn't surprise me at all.

Excellent Thai food. As a Thai person who has lived in London for well over 10 years - this food is better than most 'westernised' Thai food of London Pad Thai is great and authentic. Well balanced. If you like hot food the curries and Pork graprao are great and spicy. Good variety of fish dishes. If you have been to Thailand before you will definitely appreciate the food

The starters were very tasty. The place wasn't too busy but looked like they had a busy takeaway service running. The mains were a major let down. Pad thai was too sweet and it did not taste right. I ordered mine spicy but it clearly didn't matter. Chefs need to work on a proper Pad Thai receipe.I personally think it is a bit pricey seeing how small this place is.

Went to this restaurant on Saturday evening whilst visiting friends in Chiswick, what a great surprise, food was simply excellent, everything tasted so fresh and cooked to perfection. Service was also excellent, we were made to feel so welcome by the owner.

We ordered the red curry with duck and the vegetarian pad thai. Both dishes were incredible. The atmosphere was very cosy and welcoming, and the staff was very attentive and kind. Overall, wonderful experience. We will be back again soon.

Je vais régulièrement dans ce restaurant thaï pour le déjeuner ou le dîner . Les plats sont copieux et délicieux. Le service est très bien. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Je recommande !

This was a really great Thai meal, but I can't believe how rude the staff were. My friends and I went in and between the five of us ordered three curries and rice as we weren't that hungry. The restaurant was completely dead however we were told very rudely that we weren't allowed to stay unless we ordered a curry each. We did so because I couldn't be bothered looking for any where else and the food was great, however we had a LOT of leftovers ad the portions were big and we really weren't that hungry.

Live locally and have a lot of take away's and delivered meals. Eat here bi monthly as a rule but of late we've eaten here once a week for the past month. If the staff like you they fawn all over you and are forever filling up your sauces at the table, if they don't like you they have to be asked non stop, always make us feel uncomfortable and not really wanted. its a shame because the food is fantastic. Only ever had a couple of bad dishes in dozens we've had, Prawn Tempura is great as is the soft shell crab and the duck salad, plus the dumplings are superb. the ribs are good, so are the chicken satay and I've never had better prawn toasts before. the sweet n sour prawn dish is great, lovely tea, not the best noodles pad thai or rice dishes but not bad you won't enjoy them.

I have been a fairly regular customer of this restaurant over many years and have always found the food to be of a very good standard whilst the service provided by Ray & Clive is terrific. I am always treated in a friendly, courteous way, so if you are looking for a friendly good value Thai Restaurant then I believe you will be very happy with your choice.

Thai green curry was a little run of the mill, but the spicy salad starter was absolutely outstanding. Friendly service as well. Impprtant

I live locally, so I'm here fairly regularly. The food has never been anything other than exceptional, and the service from the worlds friendliest manager makes for a great experience. Really highly recommended, a lovely place with beautiful tasting food. The yellow chicken curry is world class!

Great place so going to be a regular now. Was recommended by a friend. Food was amazing presentation fantastic and service was great. Only thing is they need to up their offering on the drinks front. Cans delivered to the tables, only 1 wine by the glass and a limited wine list and the general drinks offering needs to be more inline with what people want in this area. Premium mixers etc. But I would thoroughly recommend. Can't believe I haven't been before. Going to bring my friends here.

We mostly order the vegetarian options which, while not extensive, are always tasty. A very good local staple,

I've eaten or had takeaways from Som Tam for many years now, and there has never been a dodgy meal. The food is always fresh and delicious. There is always a warm welcome and a great buzz when the restaurant is full.

Visited this place recently few times. The food is always fresh and very very tasty. They have good lunch deal, however it is worth to try other dishes. I am always surprised nicely. Very good place for quick lunch in a nice atmosphere. The owner could smile more and be more friendly or even talk active with customers.

I regularly visit this restaurant and I feel very lucky to have such a great Thai close to home. Me and my girlfriend always have satay and ribs to start- the satay sauce for the chicken is phenomenal so tasty!I always order different mains but am yet to have a dish I haven't loved Massaman curry, Drunken Duck, Pad Thai and the Seafood yellow curry all come highly recommended.The service is great and the 2 guys that own it are such genuinely nice friendly people I'm always made to feel welcome.Value wise Som Tam is fantastic I went the other night and 2 x starters 2 x mains with rice a glass of wine and a coke came in at £39 just remember to leave a tip as service is not included!!

Lovely food not as good as my Thai Restaurant in Mahboula in Kuwait I'd visit every Thursday taking my Thai colleague but very close.Whar ruined it for me was the bearded waiter who rushed us through the door when we were leaving. A good night ruined.

I am a regular visitor to Som Tam both for dinning in and take away. Such great Thai food, definitely the best in the area. Also has a lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Pretty little restaurant. Great service and food. All fresh and a very good range of choice. But do book on a Friday or Saturday night.

Visited with my partner and the service was great. The food was delicious. We had a thoroughly enjoyable meal.We had Thai lager, both Chang & Singha, Chang being our fave out of the two.We had a mixed starter for one to share, it was mouthwatering, especially the satay chicken.I then had the yellow curry with chicken, onions & potatoes with steamed jasmine rice. The curry was delicious, a little too hot for me, i like the taste of the spices but not the accompanying heat. All that being said it was very moorish & I managed to polish the lot off.I would definitely recommend to anyone either trying Thai for their first time or to all regulars, it really is worth a try and yes they do take away & deliveries too.

Great value, delicious and authentic Thai food. Satay and dim sum are a must as is the Tom Yum soup. Friendly staff but often busy so worth ringing in advance

Went here a couple of weeks ago for dinner and was very impressed. The food was delicious and the atmosphere inviting. I had a delicious curry. And a great price - meal for 2 with starters and drinks for only £40

The food was fantastic. All dishes had totally different flavors and it was a joy to eat there. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is lovely. I hope we can go back soon.

I Visited this Restaurant with Friends, the food & service were totally amazing, i have now been several times and can't get enough..... I would highly rate this as a place to eat, should be on everyone's bucket list.

Petit restaurant de quartier. Les plats rappellent un peu la Thaïlande mais n'égalent pas les plats d'origine. Le curry vert a moins de goût que celui du Phuket à Libourne . Quand même un déjeuner à Londres à £31.40 pour 3 personnes est exceptionnel, avec du vin servi au verre et du thé à volonté. Evidemment ce n’était pas un repas pantagruélique mais c'était suffisant.

We ordered some appetizer and two main dishes. The taste was flat, and the beef meat was clearly re-cooked or really old, so we could not eat it and left it on the side. We mentioned it to the staff, but they didn't do anything about it, not even an apology. After taking the plate they never brought the bill, and after 15min a waiter (I think it was the owner) asked if we were finished and if we could leave as he had other customers waiting!!! Mauvaise qualite er personnel malpoli!!!

I'm not sure how anyone can say this place is good. The food is pretty terrible, defrosted and deep fried or microwaved, and the prices are pretty steep. Service is only redeeming feature.

Good food. Price slightly higher than average I believe. Atmosphere is pleasant.Get busy towards the end of the week, so make sure you book a table before hand.

Excellent food, delightful ambiance , charming service and a caring owner. We have been going here ever since it opened some 20 years ago. The original owners moved on and now we have a new management and team. Still very good and highly recommended. I look forward to all our meals there. Authentic Thai - go and enjoy- it is worth the visit.

I just love this place, have been on several occasions for dinner over the past few years and the food has always been fantastic. The 'seafood on fire' is definitely a recommended dish for those who like a bit of spice. Worth booking ahead on weekends and busy times as its a small restaurant. Can't wait to go back again.

I went here - a few minutes from my house - after walking past many a time. Askew Road is becoming quite a trendy place with new and old restaurants, cafes, interesting shops etc...Som Tam has seating for perhaps 20 people. Service was good and swift.The food however, I was extremely disappointed with.Firstly, let me start with portion size.... tiny. We had a som tom salad - under spiced and literally half the portion size i've had in other restaurants. The veg spring rolls were nice enough. Then the chilli & basil noodles I had with prawns and my wife - green curry with rice. Both tiny sized portions. Flavour also extremely lacking. The curry tasted 'out of a jar'.To be honest, I wanted to like this place, I wanted to support a local business and be able to walk down the road for a thai meal.Sadly, this place is severely let down by portion size and taste.The best Thai in H&F/Chiswick is Reun Thai I think on Fulham Palace Road.

Very friendly service and a great range of tasty thai dishes. We came on a Wednesday evening and the restaurant was still fairly busy with a good atmosphere.

Cute, clean little restaurant with relaxing ambiance. Service is attentive and food delivered quickly. Starters and main were ordered and both of us enjoyed all. If you like hot and spicy I'd recommend the drunken duck.

Very good Thai restaurant. Delicious, nice venue, cheap, quick and good service. If you enjoy Thai you'll love this place.

It's a small restaurant, but has a very nice atmosphere. All our food was very good.Full of flavour & freshness. They have a good selection of wines & beers too. The owner was very friendly & the service overall was very good.

After a hard day, I have just had the most amazing Vegetable Panang Curry with coconut rice from Som Tam. It hit the spot so much that I felt the need to hop on my tripadvisor account and show my appreciation to this outstanding neighborhood restaurant of mine. My boyfriend and I have eaten here (both in-house and take-away) more times than I can count. The great thing about Som Tam is not just that it is convenient for me, but for a fast meal when I don't want to cook, the quality is so high and the prices are affordable. I have never been disappointed and in fact I frequently get cravings for the food.If you live in the area, as I do, we are so blessed to have such a great go-to restaurant. Not only is the Thai authentic and tasty, but their vegetables are always fresh and perfectly cooked. The owner is always friendly and accommodating (he was the one who first recommended I try the Panang Curry when I wanted something other than the classic Green Curry) and if you are dining-in the rest of the staff and the interior atmosphere are lovely.I know we are in London and there is great food everywhere but if you are in the West/Shepherd's Bush/Hammersmith/Chiswick area or heading this way, Som Tam is most definitely worth your time - food, service, dependency, and atmosphere all get an A+. Thanks Som Tam for always feeding a hungry local and putting goodness in my belly!

We visited here last month and absolutely loved it!Humble sized restaurant which is really nice and cosy but with traditional decor adds a really nice touch. The food was absolutely delicious and so fresh tasting. It was presented really nicely too. The owners are really sweet, can't do enough for you. Would definitely return!

I wrote a review last year after a bad experience with the staff in this restaurant. The manager replied and has done what he said he would do. I cannot fault anything, great atmosphere, fantastic food, best pad Thai I have ever eaten. The waiters were efficient, polite and attentive. Had a fantastic evening and will return at least twice a month if not more. Delightful place

Mostly Thai but could be Asian Fusion as the menu includes several dishes from other Asian nations, like crispy duck (Chinese). So there's great variety and the servings are plentiful. The service is excellent as well.

Visited this restaurant quite late on a wet and windy night (it was actually my birthday!). Received a warm welcome. The menu was great and we ordered Som Tam to start (delicious) and I had the white fish with ginger and soy as a main. And a side of coconut rice. The fish was perfectly cooked. The dish was so delicious! My husband and I ordered green tea which came in a pot and was topped up regularly by our waiter who was very professional and attentive throughout the service. We were extremely impressed and we will definitely return. Thank you Som Tam!

Most comments on here are nonsense above average quality food been here 3 or 4 times now with my girlfriend. one word to describe this restaurant Fantastic and I rate the staff very welcoming. The owner Clive is very friendly and makes you feel at home. I would say just as good if not better than Thai square which are all around London Im so lucky to live so local to this restaurant. The decor of the restaurant gives you a warm feeling we recommend tom yum koong, thai green curry and jungle curry really tasty

Delicious food, but the staff would benefit from a charm course. Complete lack of concern for customer satisfaction. Finger bowls non existent, we were told to wash our hands in the toilet. Shame as kitchen staff excellence let down by front of house,

Having been three times, once during the week and twice on a Saturday, I find this restaurant lacks atmosphere. The food is fairly good although portions are on the small side. Having tried it three times and although it's on my door step I feel there are better local Thai restaurants than this one.

I live near Som Tham and go there regularly. I've always found it a great place for a cosy meal, and the fact it's so busy speaks for itself. Lunch in particular is amazing value

Som Tam is one the most accommodating restaurants that i know. The staff are welcoming and go out of their way to make you feel at home. They will supply you with excellent food in a relaxed atmosphere. Lunch is a bargain and not to be missed. The service is friendly and efficient. Best to book in advance otherwise the locals will beat you there :)

Clive and Ray have created a restaurant with a warm, intimate atmosphere; their presence is welcoming and they make a conscious effort to be hospitable. There is noticeable attention to detail through the traditional thai outfits of the waiters and cosy interior design, making the dining experience feel authentic - an unusual characteristic for a west London restaurant. However, Som Tam's greatest asset is it's food. There is great variety in the dishes - meals suitable for any appetite and taste. The food is strong in flavour and the quality of ingredients is high - I try as eat out there as often as my bank account lets me! I recently took a group of friends along with me and their reaction was wholly positive - they vowed to return and one even said to me whilst we were being served by Clive, "why can't all people be this nice?"

This is one the best Thai food experiences outside of Thailand. The owners are very friendly, the service is prompt but the waitress could be friendlier. The food is delicious, very authentic and the flavours are fantastic.

Som Tam remains our favorite Thai in the W12 area. The food is plentiful and delicious. There is a waitress would come be more friendly but service is fast and efficient.

This used to be the best Thai Restaurant in the area, sadly the new owners haven't continued with Som Tam's high standard. Poor service, the waitress was rude and the food was sadly average. Worst of all the new owner was arrogant and not a patch on the previous team. Extremely disappointing, will not be returning!

Went to lunch with my mother and two children, felt unwelcome from the moment we walked in. The waitress was huffy and miserable. The food was average (Pad Thai was greasy and the prawns were over cooked). On leaving my two year old son ran up and down the restaurant twice, the person taking our payment made some shocking remarks insinuating he was wild (obviously not a parent). I felt it was unnecessary since we were leaving, during the meal the children had sat wonderfully and had only got up at the end. My mother remarked that previous owners were child friendly (we were regular customers of the previous owners for over ten years and often used the restaurant for catering events). The man became increasingly incensed and intimidating, I asked for his name and said that I would be reporting him to the owner, I was completely astounded to hear he was the owner and remain unconvinced. I doubt a business owner would harass customers and cause such a riotous seen in his own restaurant. The few customers were just as shocked as us, never have I been treated with such contempt, it is so confusing. Needless to say we shall not be returning and am considering what course of action to take next. A lunch with my two beautiful children and mother ended with fear, shock and confusion.

The food is very delicious we go there every week, service is very excellent, the price is very reasonable cannot wait for next week.

I was lucky enough to live just around the corner from here for a couple of years and indulged in the fantastic menu far too many times for my wallet and waistline! Now I'm further away it's worth the 20 minute drive to collect the best Thai I've had outside of Thailand - favourite dish is the ribs starter. Pretty sure I have worked my way through everything on offer, both in the restaurant and as takeaway. Always had smiling friendly service.

I love oriental food, and I love Thai. I go quite often to Som Tam. I actually have a funny story: in November I went to Surin Beach in Phuket, Thailand. While in Thailand, I was actually longing for the food that I eat in SOM TAM. It is better than in Phuket!!!!!This restaurant is intimate, maybe some 25 to 30 seats, the owners are charming and in the evenings they are always there, taking personal care of the guests.What I like: "LAAB"... Thai Salads, I am very fond of Chicken Laab, the Thai Chicken salad, a Chicken mince, served warm, dressed with chillies and fish sauce and more... very hot and lovely, best eaten with sticky rice. Now they have a new salad: Duck salad, it superb! I also like the Yellow Seafood Curry, that is actually quite dry and aromatic.But the best is the Basil Chilly Beef, that you can actually ask to have it made with minced beef instead of stripes! It is better, as the mince absorbers better the flavours.The Ginger Lamb is also very good.When I asked Ray, the Thai owner, why his food, in West London, was better than in the Island of Phuket, he said, the ingredients in London are much better that in Thailand! This is a real treasure!The house wine is deliciously clean and citrusy, ideal for the spicy Som Tam food! But if you are celebrating, go for the South African Sauvignon Blanc! Very nice indeed!

My wife is Thai and we both share the love of good food and this little gem of a Restaurant delivers proper authentic Thai quality food.From the starters to the main dishes, everything served is just as it should be.The Restaurant is small but friendly and very cosy.The owner is a lovely lady from Chiang Mai and she does her best to maintain the high standards throughout the years. We have been going there since 1995 and never once been disappointed. One of the best Thai Restaurants in London I would say but without being pretentious or overpriced because of its location.

I had friends over and they were eager for Thai food. First restaurant came to mind was Som Tam Restaurant. After dining they couldnt stop talking about the food for the rest of their holidays. I assure you this restaurant never disappoints. Enjoyed every dish so far and wished I lived closer.I have read some reviews about the service, I have been there numerous of times and always was given the VIP treatment with attention and a friendly smile. Red Thai Curry I will be with you soon:-)

I turned up early for a quick lunch and was delighted with my excellent basil noodle with pork, with perfect noodles, tender meat and crispy vegetables. I enjoyed e spiciness. And the service was excellent as I remember it in the past. It's a year since I last came and it was interesting to observe the improvements that had been made

I've dined at this local restaurant at least four times now. The first time was at lunch; the limited set menu on offer was fantastic value and although restricted offered a nice array of dishes. However, all were rice- or noodle-based - not good if like me you avoid gluten. When I explained my predicament to the waitress and asked for an accompanying salad instead I was told abruptly that my food intolerances were not her problem and if I didn't like what was on the menu I should eat somewhere else. Angered and hungry I ordered the over-priced Papaya salad which was so laden with chilli it was inedible; I wondered if they'd added extra just for me! On another occasion I found a blonde hair in my otherwise tasty Beef Panang. On bringing this to the manager's attention it was pointed out to me that I must have put it there (I have dark brown hair!). Of course! How silly of me not to realise MY mistake. But the real show-down occurred after waiting over an hour and a quarter for a take away delivery that was promised within 40-45mins. After 2 phone calls the manager himself appeared at my door, furious at me for having given the waitress 'the wrong door number'(?!) and for not being available to answer my phone when he tried calling me to confirm the delivery address. When I tried to point out that having lived here for some years it was highly unlikely I had forgotten my own door number and that more likely it had been written down incorrectly or lost in translation perhaps (the Thai woman taking my order never did read back and confirm) and that my phone had been engaged due to the time I had spent on the phone to the restaurant I was again barked at and rudely asked "did I want the food or not?!" I asked for a discount on account of the food now being cold. Denied. I asked if he thought this was good customer service, he said as the mistake was mine and I had wasted his time and petrol he had no need to show me any customer service.Heavily pregnant and famished, I took the food and paid full price and promised NEVER to eat at his establishment again.

During my visit in London with my friends, we went to Som Tam House few times and we fell in love with theirs food, it's very authentic Thai food and so delicious. We fell like home, the service was excellent, very friendly, very polite with nice smiles. We just keep coming back but now I'm back to U.S.A and I miss theirs food a lot. I totally recommend this place if you're looking for good food with affordable price and nice atmosphere.

พวกเราเดินทางไปเที่ยวทริปยุโรป ปารีส และลอนดอน นอกจากการทานอาหาร ในท้องที่ พวกเราได้มีโอกาสทานอาหารไทยในลอนดอน และ ปารีส เราได้มีโอกาสทานอาหารไทยที่ร้าน som tam ทำให้เรารู้สึก เหมือนได้กินอาหารอร่อยเหมือนที่เมืองไทยครับ ซึ่งน่าจะเป็นร้านเดียวของทริปนี้ ที่เราได้ทานอาหารอร่อยแบบนี้ ขณะที่ร้านอาหารหลายที่ รสชาติถูกเปลี่ยนแปลง จนไม่อร่อย แต่เมนูที่ร้านนี้ เครื่องปรุงรสต่างๆ ผมว่าเจ้าของซึ่งเป็นคนไทยทำได้พิถีพิถัน และราคาก็ไม่แพง ครับเมื่อเทียบกับร้านอาหารไทยที่เราได้ทานร้านอื่น

Som Tam is a small, friendly, restaurant serving high quality very Thai food. Their Tom Ka soup, Pad Thai, and curries are super. Reasonably priced.

I love this little Thai restaurant. The dishes are all very flavourable and fresh. I have been around 3 times and tried different dishes each time, and each one I loved. The restaurant can get crowded though, so it's best to make reservations.

Pad thai flavourless, good Pantang Curry, fresh vegetable tempura. BUT - service not nice. The woman serving us was cold and unfriendly, when we came in at 6 pm, the restaurant was empty, we had the audicity to choose a table in the empty restaurant over the one up against the bar that she directed us to, and were promptly told we would have to finish by 9pm, (I don't think she realised that it does not take 3 hours to eat a meal). She then took ages to take our order, and all the food came at once, including starters. The only smile the woman could raise was a smirk when we were checking the bill. The male server on the other hand, was polite and friendly but I'm afraid our meal was soured by the sourface that met us. Some people should not work in the service industry. Wont' be going back there again.

We had a takeaway from here on Friday and it was absolutely delicious. I hadn't been to this restaurant for about 15 years and was pleased to find the food was still top notch. Spicey, tastey, fresh and very reasonable. Busy on a Friday nights so order early!
