Chef-owner Jinda is a specialist in Som Tum dishes. She first plied her trade back in 1974 in the local university before moving downtown Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. The Isan-style spicy fish maw with bamboo shoot salad has a nice balance of herbs and its powerful aroma is punctuated by the intensity of the Tiliacora juice. The signature, Som Tum with crispy catfish, dispenses an impressive tang. Som Tum Jinda is also famous over the border in Laos where they have another branch, and new location in downtown Toronto Canada.

The food and ingredients here were exceptional, the wait staff was very kind and attentive, and I can see why this place has a Michelin star. Amazing food and again - SO FRESH. Excited to return next time I'm back in Toronto!

We arrived on time for our reservation and didn’t get seated for a long time. Service was mediocre - felt like they were understaffed. When they sat us, we were told half their kitchen was closed and they couldn’t make noodle dishes. So we left.

This was our second time at Som Tum Jindo. This time we brought friends with us. As last time, the food was excellent. Really delicious and original. I had one of the lemongrass soups which was awesome, and we really enjoyed the peanut, chicken curry again. We also had the crispy rice with pork which we had never had before. Excellent. We look forward to trying many other things there such as the larger soups. The service was very attentive. I strongly recommend this place - best Thai food I have had in Toronto.
