Chiang Mai Urban Thai Kitchen Awards

Chiang Mai Urban Thai Kitchen Restaurant Review:

Regional focus is what helps to separate the best Thai restaurants from the rest of the L.A. pack, and Chiang Mai Urban Thai Kitchen (formerly known as Inthanon Thai Cuisine) has just that. Sai-aou is a spicy pork sausage seasoned with cilantro, chiles and lemon grass. Nam prik ong packs even more porcine punch, a dip that contains spicy ground pork, chile paste, tomato, garlic and pork crackling. Kao soi may be the most popular Chiang Mai dish. Their version highlights the requisite coconut milk curry, egg noodles and crispy fried noodle garnish. Tofu (steamed or fried) or chicken (white or dark meat) complement the curry, which further benefits from pungent pickled greens. No matter what you order, save room for sticky rice stained vivid blue with boiled flours and topped with rich custard. Beverages are limited to soda, Thai iced coffee and tea.
