      Zao

      They sell Isaan food, which is north eastern cuisine that’s often seen as homey comfort food, but the owner of the restaurant has made it chic and elevated. They use local ingredients and support people from the north east. A really cool space, sometimes they have DJs—or Mo Lam performers doing traditional folk song. It’s a little fancy, but a good place to try, really authentic.
