"In a small space by a rustling creek, James Beard-nominated chef Kanlaya “Gun” Supachana puts out Thai flavors worth the drive to Sylva. Punchy fish sauce wings, rich khao soi, bright sai ua (herby pork sausage), and a comforting massaman curry are available for takeout, but there are a few tables in the modest dining room for dinner. Always save space for a cup of Supachana’s vegan ice cream of the day with refreshing tastes like Thai tea or watermelon-lime." - Erin Perkins
