"A Brookline Thai restaurant where Chompon “Boong” Boonnak just earned Michelin’s Exceptional Cocktails Award, this Brookline Village spot is also a Bib Gourmand, making it Boston’s first Michelin-recognized bar and value pick in one location. Opened in 2020, the menu features hard-to-find dishes like its pomelo salad, the nom prik patter, crab curry, and variations on larb, while Boonnak’s drinks are built to pair with small plates. Boonnak arrived here from Boston’s Shojo, and the beverage program is tuned to the kitchen’s bold flavors." - Melissa McCart
