"Twinkling with string lights, this intimate, brick-walled Thai restaurant in Central Phoenix is a beloved standby for chef-owner Cat Bunnag’s delicious takes on Thai street food and the specialties of her native Isan. Local favorites include steamed dumplings filled with local pork; mackerel fried rice; and the PEI mussels, which are fragrant with lemongrass and chile jam. Start with one of the compelling drinks, many of which incorporate Thai ingredients. Hot tip: There’s always a wait — add your name and grab a drink at Rewind next door. They’ll call the bar when your table’s ready." - McConnell Quinn
