Description

Sen Yai Sen Lek (Big Noodle, Little Noodle) is a new Thai restaurant located squarely at the happy intersection of "authentic" and "accessible." Bold, bright, spicy, sharp, challenging flavors dominate the food, but the decor is warm, spacious, modern, and inviting. Even the menus are clearly written and elegantly laid out. Sticky rice (or Isaan) dishes are particularly rewarding, playing aggressive flavors against the calming influence of the rice.

But what makes this Northeast gem extra special is its extra attention to its business... More »
