"If you haven 't heard of Park Walk before then you need to take note, and write it down. A lovely little street in Chelsea just off the King 's Road which is set to house the site in which Gordon Ramsay will be opening his new restaurant sometime later in the year (hopefully). I think it 's fantastic news because there are some great restaurants on this street, and Suksan is one of those. It 's just there isn 't quite that 'destination ' restaurant here yet. Suksan on the other hand is a hidden little gem that almost everyone i know, has never heard of it. Suksan is not a chain, but does have two sister restaurants, one called Sukho in Fulham, and another named Suk Saran in Wimbledon whether they have any resemblance in similar cooking, i have no clue. But the menus definitely don 't suggest so. We arrived a little dishevelled from another of my extremely long walks around south west London debating on where to eat i really do get carried away and can walk for miles to find the right place. From the moment we walked through the doors of this charming little restaurant the staff were incredibly friendly, and once we sat down, knew we were in very capable hands. An easy choice off of our ridiculously low priced set menu of two courses for (if my memory serves well) £13.95. It 's a real steal. Three good sized skewers of grilled, moist chicken which was very well seasoned and served with a light, but very complex coconut and peanut satay sauce i was almost tempted to drink the stuff. Everything about it was light and fresh how Thai food should be. A mini taste of their home made dumplings came as a selection of three different types, prawn and chicken, Thai chive and flower dumpling with peanuts. It was all very well executed and the texture was perfect, but to be really amazing they all needed much more flavour a little bit more oomph would have been more than welcome to these pretty little dumplings. A quick move on to the first of our mains was a beautiful gang kari gae. A dish of succulent tender lamb cooked with potatoes, and shallots all simmering away in a beautiful coconut based yellow curry sauce with a multitude of spices. If not done right, this dish can actually be quite a heavy but here it felt effervescent and so light and fresh you could easily put away far more of it than you 'd need to. The rice was lovely and fluffy as well a dish which was hard to fault. Hungry? Read more [hidden link]"
