Khao Sarn Restaurant Review

: This Coolidge Corner spot expands on the old pad thai-tom yum-satay routine Thai cuisine is forced to repeat ad infinitum in most of its stateside restaurants. There are Sino-ized dishes like the rich pork braise that is muu paloo, and the iconic appetizer called miang kum---delicate spinach leaves topped with nubbins of kaffir lime leaf, pork cracklings, peanuts, garlic and shallots. Ask about other dishes from the Northern region as well, like the haw moak, a sort of fish custard steamed in banana leaves. And though it's named for Bangkok's backpackers' ghetto, don't pigeonhole Khao Sarn into the normally downscale ethnic category: it's a classy place which even specializes in cocktails like lychee martinis.
