Tom Yum Thai

Tom Yum Thai is a dedicated Thai takeaway on Wheatfield Street, the short road that runs off Gorgie Road into the Wheatfield tenements. The kitchen cooks to order and stays true to Thai technique — reviewers single out the pad thai for its texture and properly-cooked rice noodles, while the fried pork starter (tender meat, crispy skin) and the tom yum soup itself draw repeat praise. The menu also features massaman chicken, a pla sam rod salmon dish, and pad thai duck. Closed Tuesdays; the rest of the week the kitchen runs from late afternoon. Online ordering is available through Just Eat and the restaurant's own site. A well-regarded specialist Thai in a location where most of the competition defaults to British-Chinese.
