The soup we are named after, served jombo size. Lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves and lime juice make a hot-and-sour broth that we load with seafood, mushrooms and noodles — a full meal in a bowl on the coldest Winnipeg day.
Tom yum is Thailand's most famous soup, and our jombo seafood version is the bowl regulars order when they want one dish to do everything. The broth is simmered with lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, chili and fresh lime juice until it is bright, sour, savoury and warming all at once.
Into that broth go seafood, mushrooms and a generous portion of noodles, so the bowl eats like a meal rather than a starter. It is the dish Health Sciences Centre staff reach for after a long shift, and the one Winnipeggers ask about when the temperature drops below zero.
Real tom yum is about balance: sour from lime, salty from fish sauce, heat from fresh chili and perfume from lemongrass and kaffir lime. We build the broth in-house rather than pouring it from a carton, and we finish each bowl to order so the seafood stays tender and the noodles never turn to mush on the way to your table.
A soup-and-noodle combination is hard to beat: add pad thai beef or pad see yue for the table, or keep it light with crispy Thai spring rolls. You will find every soup, curry and noodle dish on our full Thai menu.
We package the broth so it stays piping hot on the drive home. Pick up on Sherbrook Street, a few minutes from the Health Sciences Centre and Bannatyne Campus, or order online for delivery to the West End, Downtown Winnipeg, Central Park and North Point Douglas.
