Baan Siam

"Chef Jeeraporn Poksupthong relocated bustling Logan Circle standout Baan Thai to a much bigger home in Mount Vernon Triangle. Now called Baan Siam, diners can expect unapologetically spicy Northern Thai dishes. Khao soi, a yellow curry with crunchy egg noodles and chicken thighs, has enjoyed its own following since 2015. Other comeback hits include spicy green mango salad and tapioca skin dumplings with ground chicken, peanuts, and sweet fermented radish. The restaurant also offers a solid happy hour with discounts on drinks and bar snacks; while the drinks generally lean tropical or Asian-influenced, the bartenders can also make a solid martini. Fried pumpkin and vermicelli in peanut sauce are worth ordering here." - Missy Frederick

"At this roomy Thai restaurant in Mt. Vernon Triangle, chef Jeeraporn Poksupthon has a kitchen worthy of her skill and ambition. Poksupthon led large catering kitchens in Thailand before she helped usher a wave of chile-fueled Northern and Northeastern cooking into D.C. at now-closed Baan Thai in Logan Circle. At Baan Siam, she’s playing the hits — creamy, crunchy, and complex khao soi; tapioca skin dumplings with ground chicken, peanuts, and sweet fermented radish; and all sorts of spicy-sweet salads — while exploring sour-leaning dishes from her home country’s interior and ultra-hot curries from the South." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky

"After a fantastic run on 14th Street as Baan Thai, Chef Jeeraporn ''P' Boom" Poksupthong and her team decided that time had come to upgrade to a bigger space with a better kitchen. Chef P' Boom grew up in Thailand, learning to cook from her mother and grandmother. In her early 20s she started cooking professionally as the managing Chef in several five-star hotels in Bangkok and Pattaya."

"Kanom krok are delicate, sweet and savory cups of rice flour filled with custardy coconut cream. They’re often topped with savory elements such as scallions, corn, taro, or pumpkin. Plain little cups are lightly crisp and more oozy than chewy. It can take a little bit of time for these to come out of the Baan Siam kitchen, but they are worth the wait." - Jamie Liu
