A Michelin-recognized Isan Thai room built for shared ordering—spicy salads, grilled meats, and seafood-forward dishes that land best when you show up hungry and coordinated. The dining room is lively and colorful, and the menu reads like a checklist: pick a som tum, pick a larb, then anchor with something grilled or seafood.
Must-Try Dishes: Spicy duck larb, Som tum, Mango sticky rice
Scores:
Value: 7.6 Service: 8.1 Consistency: 8.2 Food Quality: 8.5 Atmosphere: 8.2 Cultural Relevance: 8.4
What makes it special: A MICHELIN-listed Isan Thai menu that shines with spicy salads and grilled mains.
Who should go: Groups who want a spicy, share-plate Thai night
When to visit: Dinner with friends—reserve if you can
What to order: Duck larb, som tum, one grilled or seafood main
Insider tip: Don’t order only mains—start with a som tum + larb for the full effect.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited and competitive on Woodside Ave, especially after 6pm. Budget extra time or consider transit.
Dress code: Smart casual. Jeans are fine, but the room skews stylish—dress a notch up if it’s a celebration.
Noise level: Moderate to loud. Energetic dining room; conversation is easy at the table but not hushed.
Weekend wait: 45–75 minutes without a reservation is common
Weekday lunch: Short wait or no wait most days
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple som tum variations, vegetable stir-fries, and tofu-based dishes; spice and fish sauce can usually be adjusted.
Vegan options: Limited but workable—best if you ask the server about fish sauce substitutions and stick to salads and grilled veg-forward plates.
Gluten-free options: Mostly yes—many dishes are naturally gluten-free; confirm sauces and marinades with the staff.
Best For
Better for: Group celebrations, bold Isan flavors, and share-plate ordering with high visual impact.
Skip if: You want a quiet, romantic Thai dinner or mild, pad-thai-first ordering—choose a calmer neighborhood Thai spot instead.
