highlights:
Spicy fried rice (chicken) was amazing. It was pleasantly spicy (not recommended for those with low spice tolerance).
Good portion sizes. Not too little, but not too much of an overwhelmingly large portion either. "Goldilocks perfect"
Upon asking, they gave two extra little plates so that we could share food.
Could be better:
The pad thai is served with a small amount of fresh veg, but i think it could be fried with more veg (personal preference). It had a bit of rather sweet sauce, which was different to what I had anticipated. However, it is good for the price (£7.50).
It would be nice if House of Yum could expand their kitchen to accommodate for their popularity/demand.
To note:
Very popular restaurant in the market hall, so you will need to book a seat. We went at 12:30pm (during the empty mid-Christmas-new-year's time), but had to come back for a table for 2 reserved at 1:30pm. The service is also a little slow, because it is popular, so bring something you can enjoy doing whilst waiting (eg card game, or a fun conversation topic).
2 people (with tap water): £18
This has easily become my favourite lunchtime spot.
For ages I was put off by how close some of the tables were or thought it was too close to people walking by. But I really wish I had taken the plunge sooner! It's honestly very comfortable once you are seated
The food is breathtaking, the punchy, spicy flavours are amazing and yet the cost is very modest.
Two people can lunch here with a couple of beers for £25. You won't get better value for the quality anywhere else in town.
The only drawback is the opening times, tied to the often inexplicable opening times of the market hall itself
If you can make the time, try it out. Guaranteed not to be disappointed
I've waited so long to be able to try here and we were not disappointed. The food is outstanding 👌and so full of flavour. We can't wait to get back again soon!
The House of Yum is well known in Shrewsbury but not on everyone's radar. Well, it should be! Classy Thai food in a 'street food' style area of the Market Hall. The food today was absolutely top notch. I am a big fan of Asian food but rarely eat Thai at home and am not familiar with restaurant Thai food in England so much. The House of Yum good is simply as good, if not better, than dishes I have enjoyed around the world. Go there! Huge thanks to the wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable staff who work there. Super YUM 👏😁
Fantastic last minute find for lunch. Excellent food would definitely recommend.
Beautiful food and welcomingly lovely staff. Highly recommend
Came across this place by chance while looking round Shrewsbury Market. Which is a great market, despite the unpromising outside appearance.
There are quite a few interesting looking places to eat in the market but so pleased we chose to eat here. We shared a plate of grilled prawns to start, which were delicious. Then I had the Duck Red Curry. Lovely.
We ate in some good places while we were on Shrewsbury, but this small marketplace food stall was my favourite.
Good value too and very efficient service from super friendly staff. I will actually visit Shrewsbury again just to try something else off the menu here.
Lovely little place, good food at a good price. Had delicious spicy beef noodles and an Americano and they were both great. I got a full bowl of noodles with decent size pieces of beef and veg hidden at the bottom. Service was a little slow but it was expected with the amount of people, but the service was friendly and welcoming.
Had lunch here,food was lovely especially the spring rolls and seafood penang
Service was very friendly
Lovely lunch. Excellent value for money and authentic Thai curry.
