"It’s debatable whether khao soi is soup, stew, or noodles, but we’re not interested in the semantics—we just want hot liquid in a bowl. The combination of coconut milk, curry, egg noodles, and a slight zing from lime makes E Jae Pak Mor’s khao soi the perfect thing when you're craving both soup and something that has creaminess and spice. Try the guay tiew gaeng, too, which uses rice noodles that soak up the curry like a water-expanding sea creature toy." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"No other restaurant in town is serving pak mor, delicate rice-skin dumplings that are typically filled with pork. You can get them as a takeout order — can’t you get anything as takeout now? — but they really are best when they’re fresh, and on a car ride from the CID they can stick together and get a bit gummy. On cold days, you can try the sukhothai, a little-bit-of-everything soup with pork shoulder and fish balls." - Harry Cheadle
"Sometimes, the beginning of the week hits you like a brick to the face and the only cure is creamy curry. E-Jae Pak Mor is a Thai spot in the ID that can provide this by way of bright orange khao soi with drumstick meat that falls apart faster than your morning to-do list. And if something soupy isn't in the cards, their khao mun gai with ginger sauce and chicken-y rice has enough built-in comfort to sail you through to Friday. Grab your friends for a last-minute group dinner to make a Monday hit you more like a bucket of cotton balls." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
"Much like water slides or a Now That’s What I Call Music! tracklist, E-Jae Pak Mor can do no wrong. This Chinatown-International District counter spot serves excellent Thai street food, including its tasty namesake dish—a steamed rice flour wrap swaddled around ground pork. But the best thing is the khao mun gai that has poached chicken cuddled up next to a scoop of gingery soul-restoring rice. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner, or a much better alternative to sad stadium tenders after a game at T-Mobile Park." - aimee rizzo, carlo mantuano, kayla sager riley
