"This East Village restaurant is commendable for its efforts to introduce San Diegans to lesser-seen Thai dishes, particularly the vibrant, spicy, and pungent dishes of the northeastern Isaan region that incorporate local produce and seafood. Standouts include chive cakes, spicy pork sausage, curry noodles with duck confit, Thai-style fried chicken, and fried local fish with spicy herb salad." - Candice Woo, Helen I. Hwang
