タイ料理/梅田 🇹🇭 スワンナプームタイ大阪 at Umeda, Osaka

An authentic Thai kitchen tucked into Osaka Ekimae Building B2, serving phad thai, green curry and basil stir-fries run by an all-Thai team.

Suwannapoom Thai Osaka is an authentic Thai restaurant located in the basement of the Osaka Ekimae Dai-Yon Building, just a short walk from the Umeda station complex. The kitchen and floor staff are Thai, and the menu centres on properly spiced classics such as phad thai, gapao (basil stir-fry with chicken), pad see ew and green curry. Diners consistently highlight the genuine, full-flavoured character of the cooking, with the kind of spice balance that satisfies those who have travelled in Thailand. A popular draw is the daily lunch, which often combines a main stir-fry with jasmine rice, fresh spring rolls with sweet chilli sauce, glass noodle salad and a cup of jasmine tea - a generous set for a modest price. The shop also serves Thai curry, tom yum, seasonal fish specials and Singha beer, with options for both quick solo lunches and relaxed group meals. The basement location in an office building food court keeps it unpretentious and good value. For a taste of Bangkok without leaving Umeda, this characterful little kitchen is a favourite worth seeking out. Go Umeda celebrates the places that bring the world's flavours to Osaka - pull up a seat, order the basil stir-fry, and let the spices carry you to the streets of Thailand.
