Yum-Sa All Thai'd Up

Putney is a place in South West London I haven’t visited in a while. Last month, I was happy to find an invite for a hot new Thai restaurant in Putney in my inbox. With the promise of drinks and nibbles and a chance to discover this new restaurant before the general public... of course I was down for that!

I was greeted by the happy faces from the reception staff and quickly offered a glass of prosecco; having been caught up in heavy traffic - and a downpour of rain - this was absolutely what I needed and it went down rather quickly (another one please).

Waiting staff patrolled the floor, handing out Thai nibbles and, if you had some questions for the chef, there he was cooking up a storm in the open kitchen, happy to answer anything thrown at him.

The food was a mixture of classic Thai cuisine, meat, fish and vegetarian options, all in perfectly bite size portions and a fusion of new fancy ingredients. My favourite Thai bites were crab dum yum (delicious firm crabmeat, served in a squid ink dumpling and topped with bright orange fish roe) and the chicken yum mai (steamed parcels of chicken, glass noodles, pumpkin and wood ear mushrooms).

Roger Narula, the owner of Yum-Sa, proudly opened the restaurant after a long time dream of bringing Thai culture, art and passion to London. With a vast background in the food and drinks industry over in the east, it’s no surprise he’s done well.

With a room full of bloggers, journos and foodies from the area, the flash of cameras and questions were flowing. We were treated to chants from Buddhist Monks, a welcome speech from the new Mayor of Wandsworth (Cllr McDonnell) and the team at Yum-Sa, which came to a touching end with a speech from Mr Narula’s son.

Yum-Sa is a great addition to Putney and with the beautifully decorated restaurant, cosy seating for small and large parties and even a meditation room to relax, I know you’re going to love it.

Yum-Sa is now open and offering a wonderful array of Thai art, culture and of course amazing Thai food, drinks and a glorious cocktail list to pair with each dish. Yum-Sa is located, very conveniently, opposite Putney East Station on Upper Richmond Road.

Yum-Sa food menus start from £6-£9 for starters and £12-£25 for mains, desserts are from £4.95-£6.95, it’s perfect for dates, parties and special occasions.

I’ll be heading back to Yum-Sa very soon, so hopefully see you there!
