"Since 1985 this longtime neighborhood spot has been a go-to for comforting Thai and Laotian cooking, where diners still happily queue without reservations. Now run by the Souk-Savanh brothers, the dining rooms were refreshed but the kitchen tightened its focus around dishes like pan-fried prawns in a garlicky, spicy fish sauce, deep-fried trout with tamarind and Thai basil, and crying tiger (grilled beef brisket) served with a spicy house sauce." - ByLindsey Tramuta
