Story

Yuwa's opened its doors in Helsinki's Kamppi district in 2024 with a clear goal: to bring authentic Thai food to Finland, the way it truly is in Thailand. In a short time, the restaurant has reached a 4.9/5 rating on Tripadvisor and ranked among Helsinki's top restaurants.

What sets Yuwa's apart in Helsinki's Thai scene is its regional Korat–Laos style. Pad Thai Korat Laos Style is the only one in Helsinki, and Som Tam Laos Style takes its flavour from fermented fish sauce (pla ra). These versions from Northeastern Thailand — the Isaan region and the Lao border — are authentic the way they are made there, not adapted to European tastes. That authenticity comes from Master Chef Yuwadee's decades of experience in Thai cuisine, brought to the plate in the restaurant that bears her name. That many of our regulars know Thailand and keep coming back is proof the flavours are real.

Quotes

Many of our regulars know Thailand inside out. The fact that they keep coming back to our table, meal after meal, is the highest praise and the most genuine vote of confidence we could ask for.

In our kitchen, we don't pay lip service to tradition, we live it. We bring authentic Thai flavors to your plate, honest, bold, and true to their roots.

– Yuwadee, Master Chef

The best feedback we receive is from guests who close their eyes and say: "This tastes just like Thailand." Their experience is our standard of quality.
