Cho Asia

You head down Lower Richmond Road in Putney and find yourself in something that feels properly neighbourhood—a place where locals actually eat, not just Instagram. Cho Asia does Southeast Asian cooking that doesn't mess about with gimmicks: the curries have proper depth, the noodles are handled with respect, and there's a real sense that someone in the kitchen cares about getting it right. It's the kind of spot where you'll see the same faces coming back week after week, because once you find somewhere this consistently good, you don't really want to tell everyone.
