"This just-off-the-5 Norwalk restaurant, formally owned by the family behind Lotus of Siam, specializes in Northern Thai delicacies. Stop by for a great version of nam kao tod, a crispy rice salad with plenty of fermented pork sausage and red cotton flower noodle soup known as kanom jeen nam ngiao. The kang hung lay, or Northern-style curry, is mild in terms of heat but boasts fall-apart pork stewed in a garlic-forward curry paste that’s balanced with shrimp paste, galangal, shallots, lemongrass, and turmeric." - Kat Thompson
