"This Porter Square mainstay has plenty to offer, including a patio for sipping wine and cocktails, weather-permitting. Northern Thailand gets some of the spotlight on the menu with a couple khao soi options and rice noodle soup kanom jean nam ngiao, as well as Isan sausage from the northeast. Other Sugar & Spice must-tries include the guay jub, a rolled noodle soup with a savory five-spice broth and crispy pork; the khao yum, a colorful salad from southern Thailand; and the kuay teow lui suan, which wraps up chicken, herbs, and greens in wide rice noodles and comes with a spicy lime sauce for dipping. There are full menus available for vegan diners and gluten-free diners, too." - Valerie Li Stack, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
