Long Chim launches in the UK
The concept and menu of Long Chim is anchored around Thompson’s knowledge of the dishes of Bangkok
Long Chim has announced that it will open its first-ever residency in Soho, London.
Located on Rupert Street, Long Chim will take-over the ground floor of Hovarda.
The site will be led by David Thompson who left London for his adopted home in Bangkok more than 10 years ago.
The concept and menu of Long Chim is anchored around Thompson’s knowledge of the dishes of Bangkok.
Chef Patipan ‘Pae’ Jipromma, currently head chef at Thompson’s Michelin-starred Aksorn restaurant in Bangkok, will lead the kitchen team throughout the residency which will run into early 2025.
Thompson said: “Long Chim is intended to be fun, ‘sanuk’ as they would say in Thailand, with food and drinks that everyone loves. Our menu has all the dishes that Thai’s miss the most when away from home. Pae and I are looking forward to opening our residency in London with our Hovarda partners.”
