Uncle Boons

Tips

• "On a menu full of earthy curiositieslike ... a smoked-catfish-and-pork spread that sounds horrible but tastes wonderful as a dip for market cruditsadventure is its own reward."

• The banana leaf salad is the best Thai dish in the world you haven't eaten. Get your spicy pants on because this will light you up -- or get a beer slushy.

• One of our 2014 Food & Drink Award Winners, Uncle Boons marries flawless technique with Thailand flavors. Baby octopus and a frozen Singha beer slushie might be the best bar meal in the 5 boroughs.

• Elevated but casual takes on Thai food, authentic in ingredients and technique if not in approach.

• Flat egg noodles swim in a heady golden curry with deep-fried noodles, a tender chicken leg, and a float of pickled mustard greens in the Khao Soi Kaa Kai. Need we say more?

• Uncle Boons' Milk Toast is better than a donut. The restaurant's Milk Bread is inspired by sweet toasts typically sold at coffee shops in Thailand.

• Do not skip the khao soi! Also, get some wine on tap.

• Try the khao soi kaa kai from our 2013 list of best 100 dishes. Coconut curry with fresh turmeric, tender stewed chicken leg, pickled mustard greens, and hand-rolled egg noodles.

• Frogs legs, massaman curry and spicy ale are winners! Lamb salad with sticky rice as well, really interesting and delicious food!

• I didn't eat all day until I got there. After I got home from the dinner. I had a mild diarrhea that night. Not sure if it was the food or not eating all day. But I did enjoy the food.

• Do not miss the banana blossom salad. Incredibly spicy and bright, it's one of the best starters in the city. Also congrats the the Michelin star!

• Order a ton and eat family-style. Betel leaf wraps, golden curry, charred octopus, and spicy lamb salads are all musts. Don't sleep on the spicy boon brew, it's dope.
