This unassuming spot dishes up some of the best Thai food in west London to a crowd of upmarket Fulhamites. Expect a friendly welcome from the traditionally dressed staff, who remain attentive throughout. It’s not the best place for intimate conversation as you sit elbow to elbow with your neighbours on small, tightly packed tables, but it has an easy charm and stylish surroundings. White walls are enlivened with dark wooden screens and colourful raw-silk panels; starched linen table runners and napkins complete the polished look. The menu contains thoughtfully chosen dishes where flavours are perfectly balanced: sourness enhanced by heat, sweetness tempered by saltiness. Much thought has been given to presentation too, and we even liked the carved flower garnishes, which elsewhere can look offputtingly reused. An unusual dish of vegetable tempura worked well with a tangy roasted coconut sauce, while a classic red beef curry was executed impeccably. We loved the skewers of pork grilled in pandan leaves, and a stir-fry of minced chicken perfumed with basil was spot on too. Sukho has two sister restaurants: Suk Saran in Wimbledon and Suksan in Chelsea.
