"Yet another Thai restaurant within Akkapong Earl Ninsom’s larger Thai culinary canon, Yaowarat celebrates the neighborhood for which it’s named — Bangkok’s Chinatown. Here, Thai and Chinese flavors overlap: A single table may support bowls of gently spiced mapo tofu and a crispy noodle-topped rad na; wonton-looking bean curd dumplings bunch together for a crispy contrast to the the shrimp-filled parcels. For dessert, the toasted buns, served with cups of pandan and Thai tea custards, are a must." - Krista Garcia, Katrina Yentch
