The 33 Best Restaurants in Kansas City | Eater

"Waldo Thai is unique in the metro for its focus on Northern Thai, or Lanna cuisine, and date-night atmosphere. The restaurant’s expansive menu of small plates, which changes every other week, is an ideal way to sample as many of chef Pam Liberda’s dishes as possible. If you’re ordering off of the regular menu, start with the nam prik ong, a richly spiced chile dip with fried pork rinds, or the gaeng hung lei, braised pork belly curry with ginger and tamarind. Best for: Dining in. The rotating small plates aren’t always offered for carryout." - Liz Cook
