Lucky for you this standby is right down the street and walkable via Clinton St. James Beard award winning Andy Ricker makes authentic Thai and Chang Mai style food. Dishes are intense and balanced while sweet, savory, spicy, acidic. Favorites are Ike's vietnamese wings (must-try) and Kung Op Wun Sen. Go early or check out the Whiskey Soda Lounge (also with the wings) while you wait.
