The restaurant is located in a close proximity to the market square in Kuopio, just within one block.
The restaurant typically closes at 9 pm, so we came over at around 8:10 pm, but this was not a problem on Monday night - note that the restaurant is very small.
While the chef/owner spoke very little English, the menu of about 60+ different dishes had all the dishes written in English, so it was possible to navigate. My colleagues are mostly vegan, so they had no problems finding appropriate dishes (there is a selection of about 10 different dishes without any animal products, including some soups). I had shrimp soup which was delicious with lots of lemongrass, one of my favorite ingredients of Thai cuisine. My entree was called "fried noodle with shrimp" - based on the look and the taste, I would guess that it will be called Pad Thai here in the USA. It was absolutely delicious, I anything but leaked the plate.
The experience was so good that we even came back two days later for another dinner. We shared with fried veggies spring roll - was superb, served with tasty sweet chili sauce. I had shrimp and squid entree with noodles, covered in the sauce, a bit like a stew, again absolutely delicious.
Excellent service all around.
Most highly recommended. read more
