Larb Thai-Isan

Fort Lauderdale is home to perhaps the best Thai restaurant in all of South Florida. This spot specializes in food from Thailand’s northeastern region, Isan. As such, they make some of the best larb in the state. There’s also a whole section of the menu devoted to som tum, including a version made with salted crab. Other Isan dishes worth ordering: lemongrass-flavored Isan sausages, kai yang (grilled marinated chicken), and mok nho mai—tender shredded bamboo shoots and pork belly wrapped in a banana leaf.
