Bangkok heat meets Soho nights. Family-run Thai restaurant on Greek Street — sizzling woks, neon glow, late-night noodles and London's most legendary green curry.
From a tiny 1992 noodle bar to Central London institution. Three generations, one wok, zero shortcuts — fish sauce from Thailand, chillies pounded daily.
Yum Yum started when Mama Noi arrived from Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown, with a suitcase of recipes and a fierce wok. Today her grandchildren run the pass on Greek Street, still pounding curry paste every morning at 7am.
We don't do anglicised sweet-and-sour. We do sour-spicy-salty-sweet in one bite — som tum that makes you sweat, tom yum that clears your head, massaman that hugs you. All halal, loads vegan, always fresh.
Mama Noi opens 22-seat noodle bar on Greek Street.
