Som Tum Jinda is an Isaan Thai kitchen specializing in the sharp, funky preparations of northeastern Thailand.
The menu centers on som tam (green papaya salad), larb moo (minced pork salad) Pad See Ew (stir-fried wide noodles with dark soy), dishes that require precision timing and a steady hand with fish sauce and lime. Isaan cooking is underrepresented in Toronto relative to the city's Thai restaurant count this kitchen fills that gap with direct-fire technique and uncompromising ingredient sourcing. The som tam is pounded to order at the counter, balancing heat, acid umami in the ratio that defines the dish, the calling card of the kitchen.
