"Capitol Hill’s Soi puts something of a bar-food spin on Thai food, with so-called “drinking food” to kick off the menu. Jumbo chicken wings and housemade curry sausage are followed with deeply-flavorful dishes borrowed from Thailand’s north. Think fermented pork ribs, grilled pork collar, green papaya salad, and rotisserie-cooked game hen. The cocktail game is on-point, too, with tropical concoctions that don’t skimp on the booze. Save room for the black sticky rice pudding with coconut milk." - Megan Hill
