"What Street to Kitchen lacks in curb appeal, it makes up tenfold in style and substance. The Thai restaurant, helmed by James Beard Award-winning chef Benchawan Painter, is attached to the convenience store of an East End Valero gas station and just blocks away from a train. Chalk it up to character. Despite its lackluster environs, the restaurant is considered among the best in the city, lauded for its fiery menu of traditional Thai eats, like drunken noodles, massaman curry, and pad see ew. With its 10-seat dining room, snagging reservations can be tricky, but fortunately, the restaurant is making a move to a larger space up the street within the Plant this fall." - Megha McSwain, Brittany Britto Garley
