"This Lao spot in Kensington is where you should catch up with friends over shrimp wontons, spicy tom yum soup, pan-seared tilapia, and some small plates from the very long menu. We always order their pad kee mao that mixes a spicy basil garlic sauce, broccoli, bell peppers, your protein of choice, and the rice noodle stir fry. There’s nothing on the menu over $20, and they open as early as noon, so it can work as your go-to spot for a casual vegetable-leaning lunch. And if you feel like your meal is getting too healthy, you can always add a banana chocolate spring roll or sugary macaron." - candis mclean
