"Operating out of a shipping container on the Seaport promenade, this upcoming takeout concept offers a self-described “melting pot of Asian food” rooted in Thai flavors and led by Panupak Kraiwong (who previously founded the acclaimed Dakzen in Somerville). Set to open February 22, 2022, the compact, seasonally changing menu is ramen-forward with inventive bowls such as the ten yum (tom yum broth, ramen noodles, shrimp tempura, lime, egg, and crispy shallots), the IDB (a brothless bowl with ramen, Thai barbecue pork dressing, chashu, wontons, egg, and scallions), and the mi soul (Japanese miso broth, chashu, egg, microgreens, scallions, and dry seaweed). The kitchen team includes Faye Prapawicha and veteran Thai chef Sasirin Siwayawirote, who brings expertise in southern Thai curry traditions, and beverages will feature canned Thai tea and coffee from By Emshika. The operation holds a one-year container lease with plans to remain and potentially expand into a larger space if the concept succeeds." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
