Many thanks to @Omotesando for alerting us.
Tried it tonight. This place is delish.
Isaan sausage, roasted chili fried rice w/ squid, khanom jeen nam ya (southern style curry w/ an add of dungess crab).
My only criticism is that the curry slips off the rice noodles quite easily, so using a spoon is a must. The server didn’t ask us about spice level, and this came out quite spicy (and hit more in the back of the throat). I rather liked how thin the curry was (almost more like a broth).
Was I supposed to eat the sausage wrapped in lettuce w/ some of the ginger (I don’t think I’ve ever been served cubed ginger at any restaurant)?
The roasted chili rice was our fav dish of the night. Incredibly savory on its own, and the fish sauce is like crack. I normally dislike green beans (too squeaky), but these green beans were wonderfully crispy (w/o the squeak).
There’s a lot of care and sophistication both in the flavors but also in the presentation. And the server provided us w/ the sweetest service I’ve ever had in a restaurant.
I cannot comment on authenticity, but partner and I really enjoyed our meal tonight and look forward to trying the rest of the menu. I think that strip of Pico is majorly bad feng shui, but hopefully being across from Jaipur will help. They are apparently also maybe doing a bit of a cross over w/ the Wellesbourne (I didn’t read the flyer very closely).
I am jealous that @Omotesando got taro.
And I suspect someone on this board was sitting at the table next to us tonight???
