"The owners of this Rosedale charmer — which operated in Englewood for 20 years before relocating — incorporate produce and herbs from their own garden into their dishes, which is reason enough to start with a colorful salad like the seafood-based yum ta lay or the miang khum, a vibrant northern Thai dish whose name translates to “leaf-wrapped bites,” filled with dried shrimp and coconut, peanuts, and veggies. But in cooler weather, the flu-shot soup has a cult following: Bursting with ginger and herbs as well as chicken and wontons, it sure tastes like a cure for all that ails. So does the red curry with young coconut or fresh pineapple, for that matter." - Ruth Tobias
