Propelled to public consciousness in March 2022 when it won the Grab Thumbs Up Awards 2022, Yumpumajedyod Chiang Mai / ยำปูม้าเจ็ดยอด is celebrated for its succulent seafood and fiery salads. Yumpumajedyod Chiang Mai was founded by Natthakan 'Nat' Sriboonruang at some point before the earliest verifiable published source in January 2021, supposedly during 2018.

Ambience at Yumpumajedyod Chiang Mai is lively and unpretentious. Bright lights illuminate the closely packed modern furnishings in black, while the bustling and noisy open service counter perfumes the air with the scent of lime, chili, and fresh herbs. It is a space built for speed and fast‑turnover, chatter rising over the crackling of crab shells, diners busy tucking into fiery salads.

Service at Yumpumajedyod Chiang Mai is quick and no‑nonsense, efficiency is where it matters. Orders are ticked off on a Thai paper slip, with English or Chinese menus produced on request. Staff navigate the tight aisles with ease, balancing seafood towers, replacing shell bowls, or cleaning up quickly. It's a treat to watch the open service counter as staff put finishing touches on dishes.

Food at Yumpumajedyod Chiang Mai is traditional Thai cuisine, focused on seafood and spiced salads; unusually, no curries or roasts here. The blue crab salad is the signature, while mixed seafood platters gleam with a fresh variety of ingredients. Seasoning is bold and chili features heavily. Portions are sized for communal group sharing. Prices are affordable, budget about THB ฿220 / SGD $9 per person.

The Nam Ma Phrao / น้ำมะพร้าว / Coconut Water (THB ฿89) is a popular, thirst quenching, refreshing beverage, great for beating the heat of the day (or night). The prized nam hom variety of coconut water is the most celebrated, for its naturally fragrant aroma and delicate floral earthy sweet flavour, a thin and light texture on the palate, with a clean and refreshing finish. It's low in calories, and high in potassium, sodium, magnesium, and antioxidants, making the coconut water ideal for rehydration, aiding skin health by reducing oxidative stress. The Nam Ma Phrao / Coconut Water can be served in its own husk, served in a cup, or mixed with other ingredients to create a dessert!

Staples like Khao Plao / White Rice (THB ฿10) accompany a meal here. We also ordered the thick rice vermicelli noodles as it seemed popular with diners here. The signature Som Tum Mamuang Ka Pod / Green Mango And Corn Salad (THB ฿89) was unique and delicious, and we found ourselves wishing this would be offered elsewhere too. Loved the Moo Dad Deaw / Sun-Dried Pork (THB ฿79), the Khai Pla Muk / Stir-Fried Squid Eggs (THB ฿109), and especially the Gai Tod Makwan / Prickly Ash Deep-Fried Chicken (THB ฿59).
