"When you need a few cans of curry paste alongside a fiery serving of pad thai, hit up Asia Market Thai Lao Food in The Heights. At this combination grocery corner store and quick-serve restaurant, ordering each dish “mild” might be an option, but don’t expect anything to be devoid of heat. Food here starts spicy, as well as funky, tangy, sour, and acidic. Head to Asia Market for a quick lunch, a casual date night, or at the end of any grocery run." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
