"Sometimes an impromptu evening can make for the best kind. It was the monthly Yelp supper club, and our original plans had fallen through. In such an emergency, the troops were assembled to Friends of Ham to discuss where we might eat instead. Everyone gathered, drinks were had, and a plan was formed to go adventuring for tapas near Greek street. Sukhothai was plan B, and since plan A had not come to pass, plan B it was. I now have a feeling that plan B will always make for the best plan. As soon as you wander in, the word opulent comes to mind. Where Tampopo once stood looking tired, a glorious, glittery, and lavish restaurant now stands in its stead. The carved wooden statuette in a glass box, opposite the bar, is absolutely beautiful. And the service is second to none the moment we arrived we were greeted and treated wonderfully. We were seated within a few minutes, despite nine of us dropping in to dine, and drink orders were readily taken. We then spent a good few minutes deliberating the large menu, before choosing. Usually I go for the Thai green curry. Being as that's a staple, I decided to go for the Weeping Tiger steak I've had it once before elsewhere, and hoped that it would be as fantastic as the first time. Despite oddities, such as the lights above our table periodically brightening in a slow motion disco, the ambiance was wonderful. (And we were offered another place to sit, although chose to remain it was quite amusing. Before long our food arrived, in just enough time for a natter, but not so long we would be famished. And my steak came on a sizzling hot plate, full of delicious veg, accompanied by a mini pad Thai. And it was incredible. My only regret is that I asked for it medium rare I should have gone rare but even that didn't stop it from being utterly tasty. The meat was clearly excellent quality, and I don't even know how to describe the taste and aroma of the spices and sauce that accompanied it. Pak choi is now a firm favourite in the vegetable world, too. Every mouthful was succulent, and barely a mouthful remained on my plate. It was fantastic! I couldn't recommend this place more. It's perfect for a large gathering, and intimate and beautiful enough for a date. The open kitchen is another lovely touch, and the staff really couldn't have done more for us. The company was excellent, as a few of us Yelpers welcome some new folk along, and the whole evening was a delight. They even brought out a birthday cake, as a late birthday surprise for Natalie O! (But sadly we didn't get the chanting parade, which we saw when we came in. Next time! I'm definitely a fan!"
