Som Tum Jinda - Fairview Mall — Restaurant in Toronto

Aug 25, 2025: 2nd visit 4/5 stars The The Thai food at Som Tum Jinda (Fairview Mall) in our 2nd visit was good.

The Khao Kor Moo Yang which is grilled pork jowl with fried egg on rice was delicious with a generous portion of the grilled pork jowl :)

The Larb Ped which is the minced duck, fried duck skin, onion, ngo gai herb, garlic, chilli, and mint was good and flavourful. The crispy rice noodles were okay. One downside to this dish is the plating which made it difficult to grab the crispy rice noodles without spilling it all over the table.

The Kai Tod which is the fried chicken wings was crispy and surprisingly very delicious :)

— May 20, 2025: 1st visit 4/5 stars The Thai food at Som Tum Jinda (Fairview Mall) was good.

The Kor Moo Yang (Grilled Pork Jowl) was awesome. The pork jowl was soft, tender and savoury. Would definitely recommend.

The Som Tum Tod (Fried Papaya Salad) was interesting but good. It was interesting to have the papaya fried which gave it a nice crispy texture.

The Pad Woonsen Cha-om with Minced Chicken (glass noodle, egg, garlic, acacia leaves) was good and delicious.

The Thai Iced Tea was good. The tea was strong which was good. It could have used a bit more sweetness to make...

This restaurant truly goes above and beyond. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine warmth the hostess was charming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We came with our toddler and she was having a tantrum and quickly came to our side and offered us one of they're specialty fruit drink, she was the star of the show

The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between vibrant and cozy, setting the stage for what turned out to be a truly memorable meal. The highlight for us was the Som Tum Jinda a dish that absolutely burst with flavour and freshness. The balance of spicy, tangy, and slightly sweet notes was spot on, with crisp green papaya, juicy tomatoes, and perfectly roasted peanuts adding the right amount of texture and crunch. You can really taste the care and authenticity in every bite.

Each dish was packed with flavour. It's rare to find a place that combines friendly service, nice presentation, and such bold flavours all at once.

We left happy, and already planning our next visit. Recommended to anyone looking for food that is flavourful with...
