Chao Krung Thai Restaurant

Chao Krung Thai Restaurant is one of the oldest in the city, recently celebrating 50 years in business. The Kuntee family has always been at the helm; these days, sisters Amanda (the chef) and Katy (the restaurateur) continue their parents' legacy by serving up authentic Thai dishes in a comfortable, casual setting. Everything on the menu is meant to be shared, so dig in together to some of Chao Krung's unique dishes. Start with the "small plates" â€" choose tangy bites of Isaan Sausage, sour pork sausage served with bird's eye chili, then taste their original (and famous) BBQ Pork Ribs with a coriander tang. If soup is your comfort food, enjoy the various Tom Yum hot and sour versions or the coconut-milk-based Tom Kha. And no Thai meal is complete without a taste of curry; the Green Curry here is fragrant, just spicy enough and perfect done with chicken or your other favorite protein.
