Food Scene

Serious foodie alert. Northern Thai unlike you've ever had. Start with the Khanom Krok and then wind your way through with the romanesco cauliflower, scallop salad, and the Coconut Banger's Ball cocktail. So many reasons it's on every "best restaurant in America" list! Go very early or very late or try to snag a seat at the bar.
