View DishHot, sour and aromatic — Tom Yum is the soup that clears your head on a Calgary winter afternoon. Lemongrass, lime and chilli build a broth that is sharp and fragrant rather than heavy, and we simmer it so the aromatics stay bright.
Tom Yum is defined by its balance: sour from lime, heat from chilli, and a deep aromatic backbone from lemongrass, galangal and lime leaf. It is not a thickened, creamy soup — the broth stays clear and sharp, which is exactly why it wakes up your palate instead of weighing you down.
At our 12 Street NE kitchen we treat the aromatics carefully, because boiled-to-death lemongrass tastes like nothing. Served hot, it works as a starter for the table or as the whole point of a cold-weather lunch. Guests who want spicy comfort food in Calgary usually land here.

Kin Dee Street Kitchen serves Tom Yum soup at 3449 12 St NE in northeast Calgary. Order online for pickup or call +1 (587) 349-9768.
Hot and sour. The broth is sharp with lime, fragrant with lemongrass and lime leaf, and carries chilli heat. It is clear and light rather than creamy or thickened.
Medium to hot as standard, because heat is part of the dish. Let us know your preferred spice level when you order and our kitchen will adjust it.
Yes. Tom Yum is available for dine-in, takeout, online ordering, delivery and catering. It is a popular pickup order during Calgary’s colder months.
Rice is the standard partner, and spring rolls or Pad Thai round out the meal. Many guests order Tom Yum as a starter and Pad Thai as the main.
