"James Beard Award-nominated chef Diane Moua’s landmark restaurant Diane’s Place has only been on the scene a relatively short time, however, its Hmong American cuisine has already captured imaginations. Yes, go for dinner for items like warming duck and Thai eggplant stew; or Hmong pulled pork infused with bright ginger. And definitely the pastries, such as dreamy croissants with mango, passion fruit, and lychee. But make no mistake, go for the brunch, available six days a week. Savory Hmong sausage and custardy Thai tea French toast helped to land Moua on the 2024 Eater Awards, as did its warming chicken noodle soup with thick, springy, homemade rice noodles. Reservations are available on Resy." - Serena Maria Daniels
