Kuang Heng Pratunam Chicken Rice

Pratunam·$

Tom Yum Fish Noodle Soup

THB55.00

Spicy-sour tom yum broth with fish slices and rice noodles.

Tip: The fish noodle soup is most commonly ordered alongside the chicken rice as a full meal — the broth contrasts well with the mild chicken fat rice.

Lek & Rut Seafood

Yaowarat·$$

Tom Yum Talay (Seafood)

THB280.00

Spicy and sour soup with a mixed seafood selection and lemongrass broth.

Tip: This is the right size for two to three people sharing. One bowl between the table is enough — it's rich and the grilled mains are filling.

Jeh O Chula - Rong Muang

Pathum Wan·$

Tom Yum Mixed Seafood Soup (No Noodles)

THB180.00

Classic tom yum soup with prawns, squid, and mussels.

Tip: Order this if you arrive before 11pm — you get the tom yum flavor without waiting for the MAMA noodles to be available.

Tom Yum Pla Chon Bo-Larn (The Lost Recipe)

THB3550.00

200-year-old tom yum recipe with snakehead fish, revived from historical cookbooks.

Tip: This tastes nothing like the tom yum you know — it's lighter, more herbaceous, less sweet. The snakehead fish has a firmer texture than prawns.

R-Haan

Thonglor·$$$$

Tom Yum Soup with King River Prawns

THB6512.00

Tom yum soup prepared using the siphon technique to infuse aromatic Thai herbs.

Tip: The siphon technique creates a lighter, more aromatic broth than traditional tom yum. Expect different texture and intensity.

Tom Yum Lobster

THB3550.00

Lobster in a refined tom yum broth with contemporary presentation.

Phra Nakhon·$$

Tom Yum Goong

THB700.00

T&K Seafood

Chinatown·$$

Tom Yum Goong

THB200.00

Spicy and sour soup with river prawns, lemongrass, and galangal.

Tip: This is reportedly one of the spiciest tom yum soups in Bangkok — ask for medium spice if you're not used to intense heat.

Jeh O Chula - Rong Muang

Pathum Wan·$

Tom Yum Mama (Full Toppings)

THB250.00

Oversized bowl of instant MAMA noodles in tom yum broth with mixed seafood, pork, and eggs.

Tip: Ask for medium spice if you're not used to Thai heat — the default is very spicy. The broth has a slight burnt taste from the wok; that's intentional.
