Som Saa began life as a Thai pop-up in London Fields’ Climpson’s Arch. It upgraded to a sprawling space on gritty Commercial Street in 2016. Its legions of loyal fans have followed, meaning there are considerable wait times to try grilled chicken with tamarind sauce or jungle curry with fish and wild ginger. Luckily, this is food well worth dawdling for; Chef Andy Oliver counts David Thompson, the super chef behind Michelin-starred Nahm, as a mentor.
