The 38 Best Restaurants in Milwaukee, Wisconsin | Eater

"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
