"Open for: Lunch, dinnerPrice range: $$No Milwaukee food list is complete without at least one entry from the fertile stretch of National Avenue in Silver City that includes Thai, Mexican, and Puerto Rican cuisines in just a few blocks. Among the bunch, this beloved Laotian noodle house feels most distinctive. Turmeric-spiced crepes filled with pork, fried quail, Lao-style beef soup with tripe, a gamut of noodles, and spicy larb are some highlights that make for slurpable, sinus-clearing meals as comforting as they are exhilarating. Whichever route you take through the menu, make sure to ask for a side of the “steak sauce,” a funky, garlicky, cilantro-chocked, chile-flecked combo of umami and magic.Must-try dish: Dip some tempura chicken wings in the steak sauce for absolute transcendence." - Todd Lazarski
