"This Lao spot in Kensington is perfect for catching up with friends over spicy tom yum soup, light and coconut-y banh xeo, and earthy green chili curry. All of those options are gluten-free—as are around 15 other items on the menu—and taste so good that you’ll want to eat it in small forkfuls just to make the entire dish last longer. Most of the GF dishes are under $20, and they open as early as noon, so it can work as your go-to spot for a casual lunch or dinner that doesn’t make you wince when you pay. " - candis mclean
