Authentic Thai street food, James Beard nominated, bold flavors
"Holds a Bib Gourmand, Michelin’s designation for 'good quality food for a good value' and a 'personal favorite' among inspectors." - H. Drew Blackburn
"Street To Kitchen will leave you questioning if you’ve ever had spice in the first place. This East End Thai restaurant’s crisp papaya salad gets crunchier and spicier with each bite and the acidic tom yum soup laced with shrimp and mushrooms only intensifies the burn. But the heat is all part of the experience and makes leaning in with a date over mango sticky rice for dessert much sweeter. Mix in the neon signs, music that encourages seat shimmying, and the most serious Thai food in town and we’ve got one the best restaurants for a romantic night out, or a spot to catch up with friends over frozen thai tea. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Led by Jabthong Benchawan Painter (Chef G), described as serving unapologetic Thai dishes including spicy drunken noodles and massaman curry, representing a forthright, bold Thai cooking style." - Brittany Britto Garley
"James Beard Award-winning chef Benchawan Jabthong Painter and Graham Painter, the duo behind this Bib Gourmand restaurant, unleash “unapologetic” Thai dishes in their dream location in the Plant in Second Ward. Expect Chef G’s classics like her massaman curry and the shrimp pad thai on the all-day menu, plus special features like the truffle durian crab curry over forbidden black sticky rice at dinner and newer dishes exclusively from Chef G’s home region in Northern Thailand. Street to Kitchen also features an expanded list of “bougie” cocktails at its neon-lit bar, with boozy frozen Thai iced teas and Toki highballs on tap, plus Graham’s hand-picked wine selection, which includes some funky natural wine perfect for pairing with spicy dishes. Know before you go: Chef G doesn’t change her spice levels for anyone — not even Madonna, so be prepared to suck it up. If spice is a worry, be sure to ask about the heat profile of dishes before ordering." - Brittany Britto Garley
"A Second Ward Thai restaurant led by chef Benchawan Jabthong Painter (Chef G), whose 2023 Best Chef: Texas win underscores the establishment's recognized excellence in Thai cuisine and leadership." - Courtney E. Smith
