Why locals recommend it

I used to live above this casual Thai restaurant with a Michelin star, so it was my go-to. The food is warming and well cooked. If you like spicy food, this is definitely the place to go. It’s a strange and awesome place—dark and cavernous with Thai movie posters lining the walls and Thai covers of famous American songs on the speakers. The coconut sundae will change your life. Served in a traditional sundae cup with all the toppings around it, it’s creamy, crunchy, salty, nutty, and somehow not too sweet. It’s my idea of a perfect dessert.

Uncle Boons makes a frozen beer slushy or “Bia Wun” that's beats the coldest beer you can find anywhere else, and is a perfect counterpoint to the restaurant's fiery food.
