"Naruephon “Billie” Wannajaro, who opened Hed Very Thai on Hardie Place in early 2023, is on a spree. Her newest venture Hed 11 showcases a rule-breaking generation of Thai chef-owners. The tasting menu restaurant comes from chef Piriya “Saint” Boonprasan, seasonal flavors on brash display. The move here is to take advantage of the ultra-reasonable $111 menu for a whopping 11-course dinner. Just do so on a weeknight or off-season; tourism in Japantown can get crazy parking- and food traffic-wise." - Paolo Bicchieri
