“Their mango salad over crispy catfish shreds - bright, tart mango strips on top of the shatteringly crispy bed of fried catfish. Every bite is crunchy then chewy then tangy all at once. You will miss this dish on your train home”

“it was alright. For all the noise about how great it was, I came away a tad disappointed. It wasn’t bad by any means, but would I travel out to Elmhurst again specifically for this? Probably not.”

“Their som tum dishes are all really good, but the highlight for me was the yum pla duk fu (fried shredded catfish salad). I don’t think I’ve ever had anything similar to it elsewhere really, with the crisp breading plus the mango cutting through it was 10/10”

“Their mango salad over crispy catfish shreds - bright, tart mango strips on top of the shatteringly crispy bed of fried catfish. And for Miang Khan-Na, you scoop the filling (dried pork with lime, chili, peanuts) into a leaf and eat it like a taco. Every bite hits salty, sour, nutty, and spicy all at once. You will miss the flavor on your train home.”

“The mix of the pork, lime, chiles, and peanuts is amazing. It’s very spicy but it’s so good. That with cold beer is heaven to me. Their Tom Ka soup is also fantastic, not necessarily a dish you’d try there but it’s the best I’ve had.”
