  8. Immm Rice & Beyond is a casual Thai street food counter on Broadway, where the hot bar up front does the talking and the staff will hand you samples if nothing looks familiar. At lunch you can build a plate of rice or noodles with up to three curries, stews, or wok-tossed things, and a chalkboard behind the counter tracks the day's specials. It's Eater's pick for Chicago's best Thai food, and you order at the counter.

  9. Rank 104. In-On Thai

    Central Thai

    In-On Thai is a casual Uptown Thai spot with a short menu built around Central Thai cooking, the sort of place where the salad section gets more thought than most restaurants give their entrees. The green bean salad arrives with hard-boiled eggs and tender shrimp in a sharp, sour sauce. The fried chicken is the easy first order, and it's wise to say you can handle the heat and mean it. Online ordering is available.

  11. Rank 104. Same Same

    Bangkok-style Thai



  12. Super Thai is a casual Thai spot on South Lamar, announced by big colorful letters that save everyone a lot of reading. The front half is a takeout operation where the phones never stop and people come and go every few seconds. Past the host stand, a cozy dining room and a long bar take walk-ins, and the weekday lunch menu keeps portions small enough that you can still return to work upright.

  19. Zom Tum is a casual Thai and Laotian spot on Capitol Hill, set in the old Joselito space, with a papaya salad station right at the door so you meet the main attraction before you meet a host. The name is a playful spin on "som tom." Curries come from a longtime D.C. Thai restaurateur, and a bar pours craft Thai beers and whisky. Daily happy hour covers spring rolls, wontons, and wine, an unusual trio.

  28. Perched above Columbus Circle with Central Park out the window, Twin Tails is a large, intentionally theatrical Asian restaurant where Thai and Vietnamese small plates arrive alongside strong cocktails and a room designed for groups who came to make noise. The vibe sits somewhere between genuinely grand and knowingly camp, which is a harder trick to pull off than it sounds. Dress up a little; this is a party-hat kind of place.

  29. Rank 140. Little Pig

    Street Food Thai


  30. The dining room of an old country inn in the Virginia foothills, where the kitchen takes a locavore menu seriously enough that nobody's ordering a chicken-fried steak. Housemade gnocchi, herb-crusted rack of lamb, and a mango mousse that arrives looking like a art installation suggest the chef has somewhere to be. The drive out to Paris, VA is part of it, and the setting does a lot of the work before the food even arrives.

  44. The draw at this Thai bar and mookata spot is the tabletop grill sunk into a pot of bubbling broth, where you cook your own meal at the table. It lives on the patio behind Lom Wong, small and casual, with craft cocktails doing serious work alongside the smoke. The New York Times put it on their Restaurant List, which is a lot of attention for a patio bar where dinner is technically a DIY project.

  45. Rank 156. Hiw Kaow Thai Food Truck

    Lao Thai Food Truck

    A purple orchid tops every plate, which tells you something about how seriously this Thai street-food truck takes its work. Hiw Kaow roams the Valley without a permanent address, serving pad Thai with a Lao influence, crispy whole chicken wings, and a papaya salad sharp enough to make you check the truck's next location before you've finished eating. Follow its schedule; it moves around.

  53. The menu comes with a warning: "Hot, not recommended for the first-time visitor." This no-frills Thai spot takes that seriously, leaning on Thai chiles the way other places lean on salt. Green curry, larb, drunken noodles, and pineapple fried rice all land with real heat beneath the lemongrass and galangal. Order mild if you want to taste dinner rather than survive it.


  54. A Thai cafe tucked into a strip mall on South Colorado, Thai Pot Cafe is the kind of neighborhood spot that fills up fast on weeknights. The drunken noodles are the draw, charred thick and loaded with eggplant, green beans, and tomatoes. Heat runs on a scale where ten counts as "Thai mild," so the numbers above that are not decorative. Westword named them Denver's best drunken noodles in 2023, which the regulars already knew.

  55. The heat levels at this Edgewater Thai spot are not a performance; the chiles do actual structural work, balancing galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime, and ginger rather than just torching everything in their path. Curries arrive thick and deeply spiced, and the papaya salad dressing pulls no punches with lime and fish sauce. Order mild if you need to, but the kitchen built this menu for people who don't. Sloan's Lake is two minutes away, just in case.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
