Homestyle Thai street food, seafood-heavy, authentic family recipes
"Rimtang is a takeout-first spot that understands exactly what its job is: quietly serving some of the best Thai food in DC. The menu is rooted in family recipes from the chef and his mother that don’t try to reimagine Thai cuisine so much as perfect it. Take the crab dumplings—plump with juicy kurobuta pork, each bite carries just the right hit of fried garlic. Or the sai ua, a Chiang Mai-style sausage that’s smoky, herbaceous, and made for pairing with sticky rice. But the dish that just might turn into your next obsession is the chicken panang curry. Silky, rich, and unapologetically heavy on the coconut, it’s the kind of comfort food you’ll find yourself thinking about at random hours of the day." - joe brantlinger, tristiana hinton, omnia saed, madeline weinfield, allison robicelli
"Unlike its sleek, scene-stealing sister restaurant, Kyojin Sushi, Rimtang isn’t trying to impress with a high-design dining room or a soundtrack curated by someone with an esoteric vinyl collection. This is a takeout-first spot that understands exactly what its job is: quietly serving excellent Thai food you’ll crave on a weekly (daily?) basis.

"Rimtang is a new Thai street food spot in Georgetown. The owner’s mother is the head chef, and she brings over four decades of experience, plus a collection of recipes from her former restaurant in Thailand. The menu includes some familiar favorites and specialty dishes, all rooted in homestyle cooking, with influences from both north and central Thailand." - omnia saed
"The latest restaurant from Yume Hospitality Group brings Thai street foods to Georgetown. A love letter to executive chef and co-owner Saran “Peter” Kannasute’s roots in Thailand, Rimtang is a true family affair. Kannasute’s mother, Prapit La Femina, will lead kitchen as head chef and is responsible for much of the restaurant’s recipe development. The pair are serving up a seafood-heavy menu, featuring more specialty Thai dishes, like the stir-fried clams with chili paste, sweetened with condensed milk and served over jasmine rice. Stir-fried broken bucket noodles are Kannasute and La Femina’s take on pad kee mao (or drunken noodles), with flat rice noodles, egg, chives, and tofu served with ground peanuts, chilis, and lime." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
"This flashy new Thai street food offering from the Yume Sushi group has offerings ranging from steamed fish curry to hot and spicy pork ribs." - Missy Frederick
