"This local favorite and Eater Award winner from chef Brad Greenhill is known for its modern takes on Thai food, plus its commitment to seasonality and sustainability (after all, the restaurant operates a farm just a mile north of Corktown). The six-course shared menu at Takoi costs just $75 and features a mix of fan favorites and exclusive dishes from the kitchen. Full table participation is required for the food, as is true just about everywhere. Guests also have the option to add a beverage pairing, which offers a mix of sake and wine for an additional $38. Whether you opt for food or food and drink, it’s one of the most affordable tasting menus in the city. There’s also a vegetarian version of the menu that costs $60." - Danny Palumbo
