"On foggy days—which is a lot of days in the Sunset—Kothai is the place to be. It’s a cozy space full of window heaters, and inventive Korean-Thai fusion dishes that feel like a step above what’s probably in your typical casual dinner rotation. Mosey on over with a few friends (or run, if you’re freezing), and order their standout small plates like the slightly spicy ceviche on little gem lettuce or the cheddar-coated kimchi rice balls, and maybe the bigger king salmon haw mok with kimchi and green curry. And since it’s usually easy to get a table (even after a short wait), you’ll want to sit back and sip on some sake—just don’t leave with getting the apple pie cheesecake." - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway, Will Kamensky, Tamara Palmer, Ricky Rodriguez
