In a small restaurant in Gilbert, a husband and wife team cooks the flavors of home while making everyone feel like family. The menu includes recipes from the Isaan region of Thailand, which borders Laos. Don’t miss the restaurant’s namesake boat noodle soup, but make sure to try a sampling of the menu as well. Start your meal with some super satisfying chewy, salty sun-dried pork and a bright, fresh papaya salad. Opt for the traditional, summery Thai-style salad or go for the richer Laos-style which gets a hearty dose of funk from salted crab and fermented fish sauce. For dessert, enjoy sweet sticky rice with mango or black beans in coconut milk. The cozy, welcoming eatery also serves Thai iced tea and coffee and is ideal for dine-in or takeout.
