"Thai Diner works for just about any scenario. Come here on a weeknight for khao soi, bring some out-of-towners for an impressive group meal, or stop by for brunch and eat Thai tea babka french toast. No matter what, you’ll enjoy some fantastic food—and you’ll also have to wait for your table. Reservations at Thai Diner are usually tough to snag, but just swing by and put your name in with the host. You’re going to have to kill at least an hour before you get seated, but if you’re going to wait for a restaurant in the neighborhood, it should be this one." - bryan kim, willa moore
