This is a fusion restaurant with flavours closest to Thai. It is a popular place and hence you must book.....an email works well. The flavours and tastes are a wow and you will not be disappointed. The menu is quite small but the two dishes we selected were excellent (we did consider 3 dishes but the waitress thought 2 would... More

I did like the atmosphere, food and wines. However i will still give 4 stars as somehow everything just did not "click". Good restaurant anyhow. Worth visit. Abroad same kind of places with similar food and everything are far cheaper than this.

Went here with a large party of 10. Prebooking is needed. The place was full. We had preordered their Tasting Menu Siam with 7 courses and 2 desserts. The dishes were beautifully composed and very tasty. They were served in a nice rythm which allowed us to enjoy them properly. Overall service was perfect. We were all plesently surprised by... More

We really enjoyed Farang: neat interior, excellent and very friendly service and the food was fantastic. Owing to a big meal the night before (Juuri, also great), we elected not to have the tasting menu, instead, relying n the waitress's advice, we ordered 2 "snacks" and 3 "mains". All delicious, but two mains would have more than filled us! The... More

Tried the tasting menu like almost every other visitor and yes, it was a treat for the eyes, tasting buds and stomach. The best Asian inspired food I have ever tasted! The place is big, bold, a bit noisy and quite aware of its reputation. The menu was well worth the upscale prize tag. The sommelier wine package to go... More

This is probably the best restaurant I've been to in Helsinki. In general I love the Asian food, but this is not the usual food you east in such restaurants, this place is very unique, it is owned by the famous Finnish chef Tomi Björck that developed his own recipes combining interesting ingredients and flavours. The food itself was fantastic... More

I just came from Farang where I had a shared tasting menu with another person. I went there by thinking we would both order a separate tasting menu, which usually is possible in other restaurants, to find out at the same table people must pick the same menu. Obviously, this is a great deal for the restaurant, 2 people pay... More

The tasting menu was something special. Enjoyed a lot. Just choose wines chosen by restaurant. Not cheap but worth it.

We went again to Farang, this time for my father-in-law's 70th birthday. Whilst annoying that because we were 11 we had to have the tasting menu, we were so glad we did. Every dish was an explosion of flavours - some very spicy (papaya salad) and some sweet and savoury (scallops with tamarind and coconut I think it was). Everyone... More
