The Best Thai Restaurants In LA, According To Justin Pichetrungsi - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"“Do you know what’s secretly a Thai restaurant? Tartine Sycamore. It’s run by chef Dan [Rabilwongse], my Thai brother. He’s a fancy French chef, but all these little things finally crept onto his menu after he left Bouchon. I was like, “This is so exciting, dude.” Their fried chicken sandwich has a lacto-fermented papaya salad on it, and it’s marinated with all Thai spices, so it tastes Thai. There’s also a porridge, a jook! Very Thai-style. And a nam salad, which is based off his mother’s recipe. She put nam on the map in Thailand, and even sold it in Bangkok Market at one point. Now he’s making it out of Tartine.”" - kat hong
