Tuk Tuk Thai Isan Street Food

This Lakeview spot puts the spotlight on dishes from Thailand’s northeast Isan region. Start with the laab moo tod—fried pork meatballs—and one of the papaya salads (you can’t go wrong with the funky tum tuk tuk, full of fermented anchovies, salted crab, crispy chicken skin, pork rinds and pork sausage). For entrees, the whole fried snapper smothered in spicy-sweet-sour sauce is non-negotiable. You’ll want to cool off your palate at the end with some homemade coconut ice cream served with palm seed, sweet corn and peanuts. The cherry on top? The restaurant has a BYOB policy.
