Northern Thai Food

THAILAND ????????
Eat the World LA review:
For the longest time, the corner unit of this tight corner strip mall was occupied by Windsor Donuts, which eventually left and made way for what seemed like it would be Pa-Ord Express, a fast food version of the long-standing Pa-Ord Noodle which we all know and love. This lasted around a year or less, and just two months ago a new mother and daughter duo from Chiang Rai have popped up to open Northern Thai Food. The "club" was left off the English name, but since it is in there in Thai, we are going to use it.

The cuisine in the north of Thailand uses unique ingredients like any region, and a quick perusal of the picture menu in the window revealed a lot of good dishes native to Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai that are not seen very often. This seems to be the main goal of the women, who are dedicated to making traditional northern dishes. In fact, I do not know if I have ever seen jor pak pung, a northern style curry with Ceylon spinach (pak pung) anywhere outside of the north of Thailand. Unfortunately this was not available on the day we stopped in to talk.

The operation is tiny and has a small steam table, it appears that about eight options will be available on any given day. Everything promises to be very fresh because of high turnover and the rotating menu is exciting. For now at least, just about everything was $6.99 or less. I absolutely cannot wait to get back here and sample everything else.

Authentic Northern (Chiangmai-Style) Thai Food. So glad to have stumbled across this place. It’s a small joint, but delicious, spicy food. Great prices with generous amount of food.
