Yum Saap — Restaurant in Utrecht

The food was average, but we had a really bad experience here. The waitress clearly needs more training. They brought us the wrong food several times with no apologies.

For a two person meal you can expect at least 50 euros... there are definitely in utrecht better places...

Then the papaya salad felt nice and fresh , both because of the different veggies (especially the chicory) and the dressing.
