Larb Thai-Isan

14 Best Broward County Restaurants That Make Us Want To Move - Miami - The Infatuation

"We haven’t found a better Thai restaurant in all of South Florida than Fort Lauderdale's Larb Thai-Isan. This narrow, colorful restaurant is making the best versions we’ve ever had of Thai dishes like khao soi, larb, and som tum in an area that’s dense with corporate chain restaurants. Every ingredient in every dish—from each spicy strand of papaya to the tender drumstick that floats in the khao soi—tastes like the perfect form of itself. And it’s also just a pleasure to eat here. Service is friendly and most tables have a view of the kitchen, where you’ll watch cooks pound and chop away. There will probably be a wait, but you can drink beer outside and stare at the Outback Steakhouse across the street to kill time." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
