Warm up with Hamilton's favourite Chicken Tom Yom Soup at Masala Corner Hamilton - Momo King. Chicken with combination of lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, lime juice, tom yum paste, simmered until the broth turns bright, hot, and sour in equal measure. It's the aromatic bowl that has made our soup a favourite with McMaster students and Westdale families alike, especially on a cold Hamilton evening. Served steaming as a starter or a light meal on its own, every bowl delivers bold Southeast Asian flavour in West Hamilton.
At Masala Corner Hamilton - Momo King, we take pride in serving some of the best Chicken Tom Yom Soup in Hamilton, Ontario. Our chefs build the broth the traditional way, bruising fresh lemon grass, tearing kaffir lime leaves by hand, and slicing galangal so every aromatic releases properly before the chicken goes in.
Every bowl is finished to order with fresh lime juice and tom yum paste, so the hot-and-sour balance stays sharp rather than dulling on the stove. Located on Main Street West near McMaster University, we've become the go-to spot for students, families, and downtown Hamilton West diners craving bold, aromatic soup.
What makes our Chicken Tom Yom Soup stand out is the use of whole fresh aromatics instead of paste alone - lemon grass, kaffir lime, and galangal each bring a different note, and you can taste all three. We never use shortcuts or powdered bases; every bowl is finished fresh. It's a big reason our soup remains one of the most-ordered starters at Masala Corner Hamilton.
