"The Eater Award-winning casual counter-service North Loop restaurant is a premier destination for comforting Thai Chinese dishes courtesy of chef Thai Changthong. The namesake khao man gai is the Thai iteration of Hainanese chicken, with tender chicken paired with chicken-fat rice, a sweet chili sauce, cucumbers, and chicken broth. Don’t skip the noodle soups or the daily specials. Takeout orders can be placed online, but if you can, dine in so you can take cute photos of your plates atop the restaurant’s gingham-print table covers. Know before you go: Take vegetarian friends elsewhere — all P. Thai’s dishes are made with meat." - Erin Russell
