"Broward—and specifically Fort Lauderdale—is spoiled when it comes to Thai food. Not only do they get the phenomenal Larb Thai-Isan, but just 12 minutes away in Oakland Park, Nour Thai is making Isan dishes with flavors more satisfying than discovering your car has not been towed after parking in a risky spot. The simple strip mall restaurant is quiet enough to not distract from the thrilling menu of Thai dishes. Start by ordering liberally from their separate Isan-focused menu. Over on the main menu, the must-order dish is the gorgeously purple chor muang dumplings. And you’re in good hands with pretty much every curry or noodle dish." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
