"Siam Thai Eatery is an import from NYC, and it already has some of our city's best Thai dishes. Like the chili-infused crab pomelo salad, which has freshness and heat in each crabby spoonful. This space is smaller than it might look on social media, but it's buzzy even on a weeknight. Couples share crispy, money-bag-shaped pork dumplings, while friends dig into duck curry punched up with lychee. And for anyone looking for something sweet to bookend a meal (but not too sweet), we like to kick things off with their Thai iced tea and finish with some mango sticky rice." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor
