From our table in Paris 13, between Olympiades and Place d’Italie, we serve Thai dishes made the way they are back home: fragrant, generous and true to the original.
At Thai Yim 2 we cook the food we actually love to eat in Thailand. House-made curry pastes, fresh herbs, som tam pounded in the mortar and blazing-hot woks — nothing frozen in place, no fake luxury. Just honest flavours and a warm welcome.
A few favourites to enjoy in the dining room or to take away.
Among our specialities: Som Tam Pu Plara (Lao papaya salad with crab and plara), Khao Kluk Kapi, Khao Pad Kapao, Khao Man Kai Tod, Tod Mun Pla, green curry and Thai Milk Tea. On request, we also make Yentafo Tom Yum, a favourite of our Thai regulars.
