Kin Khao ★ 4.4 · San Francisco

soma-yerba-buena · 55 Cyril Magnin St, San Francisco, CA 94102

Kin Khao in San Francisco is Pim Techamuanvivit's Michelin-starred Thai room near Union Square, with regional cooking far from the safe pad thai script.

Tip: The bar pours a sharp Riesling list; ask for the off-menu cold larb when it is available.

Weera Thai ★ 4.2 · Las Vegas

east-sahara · 3839 W Sahara Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89102

Weera Thai in Las Vegas is the Sahara strip Thai room since 2010, a neighbourhood favourite for boat noodles, green curry and a deeper Thai menu than the average suburban room.

Tip: Lunch specials run 11:00 to 15:00 at a steep discount; the noodles run the full price all day.

Thai Villa ★ 4.1 · New York City

flatiron · 5 E 19th St, New York, NY 10003

Thai Villa near Union Square serves Bangkok and Chiang Mai cooking in Flatiron, New York City. The crab fried rice is the house staple; the khao soi runs spicier.

Tip: Two seatings on weekends: 18:30 and 21:00. The 21:00 service is quieter and easier to walk into without a wait.
