The restaurant

Named after the soup that starts every Thai meal

Since 2013 we have been perfecting the art of Thai fine dining, blending traditional recipes with modern elegance. Named after the iconic Tom Yam soup, the restaurant is built around the bold, spicy and perfectly balanced flavours that define Thailand’s culinary heritage.

From fragrant curries to sizzling hot plates, every dish is made to carry you straight to Thailand – with authentic Asian beers, cocktails and a private dining room upstairs for the nights that deserve one.
