About Tom-Yum Tum-Gang

Glebe regulars pack into Tom-Yum Tum-Gang for honest Bangkok street flavor at prices that feel like a clerical error. It’s loud, fast, and strictly cash-only. Midday crowds line up for the bargain lunch specials and crisp two-dollar chicken wings, while stir-fries arrive smoking hot with distinct wok hei and fresh Thai herbs. Evenings take on an easy neighborhood rhythm—diners grab beers from the pub down the road, claim an outdoor table for BYO dining, and pass around bowls of steaming Tom Kha.

  • Midday Specials: Midday diners turn up between 11 am and 4 pm for heavily discounted noodle and rice dishes, paired with budget-friendly sides like $2 wings.
  • Bangkok Street Flavors: High-heat stir-fries and noodles land quickly with noticeable wok hei, fresh chilies, and punchy traditional herbs.
  • Casual BYO Dining: An informal, brisk eat-and-go setup where guests bring their own beer or wine to pair with evening curries.
  • Cash-Only Counter: Operations run strictly on cash or direct transfer with rapid table turnover and no merchant terminal fuss.

    Literally spent a month in Thailand and this place is still some of the best Thai food I’ve had.

  • Casual BYO Evenings

    Guests can bring their own bottled beer or wine for an affordable, relaxed evening meal on the terrace or inside.

    They’re incredibly fast and you can BYO. Love coming here on a Summer evening and sitting outside.
