"After four years of pop-ups, the husband and wife team behind Budsi’s Authentic Thai opened their much-anticipated restaurant of the same name December 18, bringing specialties from the Isan region of Thailand to the Marigny. Budsaba Mason, who is originally from the Isan region of Thailand, offers a menu of familiar Thai food like drunken noodles and pad thai as well as Isan specialties like waterfall pork, beef and chicken larb, fermented fish, crab som tam, and mango sticky rice." - Clair Lorell
