Zimzun

Fulham Broadway Retail Centre
Fulham Road
London
SW6 1BW

Sharpen your chopsticks and prepare for a treat. Inside the shiny Fulham Broadway shopping centre lies a Thai fusion restaurant of rare beauty and charm. It's Zimzun, and its dark elegant wood panelling, spotlit Buddha heads, mood lighting, and palette of natural woodtones will certainly
surprise you, considering its prosaic location. It is elegant, indeed. The host does everything possible to make you feel welcome and cared-for. He'll suggest you abandon the European three-course structure in favour of a main with rice or side dish. Try the phat thai, the crispy mi krop, or the green chicken curry - there are lots of vegetarian choices too. No puds, as that's not authentic. The wine list is well within the affordable range, and the smoothie-type lassas are very nice. Note that smoking is only allowed at the bar, which may be a draw for some who like to taste their food.
