Tom Yum: sour and spicy

Tom Yum is one of Thailand's most famous soups. The flavour balances acidity and spice: lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, lime juice, chilli and fish sauce. Tom Yum Goong = with prawns, Tom Yum Gai = with chicken. Many Helsinki restaurants list the soup only as a starter: main-course portions are less common.

Methodology

The index is based on public sources: Wolt storefronts, restaurants' own websites, Google Maps ratings, Tripadvisor listings. Data collection date: 20 May 2026. Base version included (typically chicken, vegan when available). Prices include Wolt's delivery margin. Sample is 34 Thai restaurants in Helsinki; only restaurants where the dish appears as a main course are included. The value score combines rating and price index: same formula as the pad thai index.

Next release

The index is compiled annually. The summer 2027 release expands to 10 anchor dishes across six cities (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Tampere, Turku, Oulu).
