Mai's Kitchen's Tom Yum Soup is a Saskatoon favourite — a fragrant, spicy Thai-Vietnamese broth that regulars particularly love for its comforting, restorative qualities. Built on a bold lemongrass-galangal base with kaffir lime leaves, mushrooms, and a fiery kick of chili, every bowl is warming, bright, and deeply satisfying.
Tom Yum is one of Southeast Asia's most celebrated soups — a Thai-Vietnamese classic that has found a devoted following at Mai's Kitchen in Saskatoon. Our Tom Yum broth starts with a fragrant base of lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves, simmered to extract their essential oils and bright, citrusy character. Chili paste and fresh chilies add layers of heat that build slowly and pleasurably.
The soup is loaded with mushrooms, tomatoes, and your choice of protein — shrimp and chicken are popular options — finished with a squeeze of fresh lime and fragrant herbs. Regulars at Mai's Kitchen consistently praise it as one of the most comforting and restorative dishes on the menu, particularly during Saskatoon's long winters. Whether you're fighting a cold or simply craving something deeply warming, our Tom Yum delivers every time.
