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.
