"Chef Arun Samponthavivat has spent more than 20 years showing off the versatility of Thai cuisine with his tasting menus, but those who can’t spend $120 per person can try some of his top dishes a la carte. Aside from offering top notch versions of staples like shumai and pad see ew, the Irving Park restaurant serves more novel and gorgeously presented dishes like grilled salmon in kaffir lime-scented coconut curry. Book a table through Tock." - Samantha Nelson
