"Chef Jeeraporn Poksupthong relocated bustling Logan Circle standout Baan Thai to a much bigger home in Mount Vernon Triangle. Now called Baan Siam, diners can expect unapologetically spicy Northern Thai dishes. Khao soi, a yellow curry with crunchy egg noodles and chicken thighs, has enjoyed its own following since 2015. Other comeback hits include spicy green mango salad and tapioca skin dumplings with ground chicken, peanuts, and sweet fermented radish. The restaurant also offers a solid happy hour with discounts on drinks and bar snacks; while the drinks generally lean tropical or Asian-influenced, the bartenders can also make a solid martini. Fried pumpkin and vermicelli in peanut sauce are worth ordering here." - Missy Frederick
