I personally thought Farang wasn’t that great. There were far too many strong flavours that were clashing more than complimenting each other. The service was really poor.

Service is too quick but quite unique cuisine in Helsinki. Owners have today 4 restaurants in Helsinki which have had an impact to Farang quality
