Good service, good food, good everything. The friendly Thai staff takes care of you, nomatter if you are a busy traveller or a family with small children. Lunch prices and dishes are really value for money, but evenings and weekends are quite inexpensive too.

They had aweekend offer with spring roll as apetizer, shortlist of 10 mains to choose from and deepfried banana & ice cream for dessert goig for €16,something. As others here have mentioned, the interrior have seen... More

A bit quaint, but who cares about style or decor when the food tastes this great. Affordable too. Eat here!

I pop into this place monthly for a fix of thai green chicken curry, or some other standard. The spicing and ingredients are authentic, and the place is generally busy enough to demonstrate a return clientele, which is usually a good sign. Definitely worth a pit stop if you find yourself in Töölö and in the market for a quick... More

Great food - rich flavors, spicy, large choice, lots of delicious souse in the food. My favorite place. Low price, easy to access, friendly stuff, cozy atmosphere, though no design at all and the place looks really cheap. Definitely recommend it for the food quality!

Authentic Thai but service a little sluggish (one person serving an almost full restaurant) and reasonably priced for Finland at around 34 Euro for two main courses with rice and couple of soft drinks.

Best Tom Kha Gai soup I ever had ... even after trying a lot of variations around the world. Very good thai food, worth to try. Just ignore the interior which looks a bit old fashioned. I'm going there for years, and more and more friends and colleagues now like it as well. They offer take-away also.

I have been to virtually all Thai restaurants in Helsinki (and quite a lot elsewhere) and this is my favorite! Simple, super friendly place in the heart of Töölö, run (or at least used to be) by a nice Thai grandmother. It's all good, but basil chicken, tom kha khai soup, and the noodle dishes are my favorites. Full disclosure:... More

Nice and cheap place for lunch when in Töölö. Not very stylish, but good value for the money.
