"Mark Thai Food Box is a great spot for khao mun gai that's only open until 7pm during the week—but never underestimate the power of slapping a “doctor’s appointment” block on your calendar (for legal reasons, that’s a joke). We love Mark’s gingery poached chicken over rice with a garlic dipping sauce, but they also excel at pork riblets simmered in red curry, and firm tofu tossed in panang. Just don’t forget a frosty pink rose milk tea on the side. It has just the right amount of floral flavor without tasting like a bottle of Chanel N°5." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
