Ghin Khao Eat Rice

Siblings Nova and Kami Sasi are the creative force behind this small Pilsen restaurant that offers Northern Thai street snacks and home-style cooking. Definitely start your meal with tod man pla, crispy fish cakes served with sweet chili, cucumber, cilantro and ground peanuts. And don’t expect to see pad Thai on the menu, but do order grandma’s pork belly. Thin slices of marinated pork are fried and accompanied by a sweet-and-spicy Jaew dipping sauce. It’ll leave you wishing you could have dinner with the Sasi matriarch every night. Drinkers should bring six-pack because it’s BYOB.
