    The menu flags certain dishes "phet" for spicy, and it means it. This Northeast DC Southeast Asian restaurant earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for a menu that covers serious ground, including a dedicated vegan section and ingredients you won't find at the usual strip-mall Thai spot. The orm, a chicken-and-dill curry, is the kind of dish that makes you wonder why dill doesn't show up in curry more often. An extensive cocktail list keeps things lively.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          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.
