Isaan Der - Thai Kitchen & Bar

Som Tum (Green Papaya Salad)

The Isaan cornerstone: shredded green papaya pounded with palm sugar, fish sauce, lime, and bird's eye chili — sour-sweet-funky in every bite, with heat that builds

Larb

Minced meat salad — toasted rice powder, fresh herbs, shallots, lime, and fish sauce — served at the temperature and texture that makes this dish a revelation when executed correctly

Sticky Rice (Khao Niao)

The essential Isaan accompaniment — steamed glutinous rice served in a bamboo basket, used to scoop up larb and papaya salad in lieu of a fork

Grilled Chicken (Gai Yang)

Isaan-style marinated grilled chicken — lemongrass, galangal, fish sauce — with crisp charred skin and a dipping sauce that's worth extra sticky rice

Thai-Inflected Cocktails

The bar program mixes with ingredients like pandan, lychee, and Thai basil — better than expected at a Thai restaurant, worth ordering even if you came just to eat
