Isaan Der - Thai Kitchen & Bar

Som Tum

Green papaya salad with a fiercely sour, funky dressing — fermented crab or dried shrimp versions bring serious depth that the tourist-friendly version never attempts

Larb

Minced meat salad loaded with toasted rice powder, lime, fish sauce, and a blizzard of fresh herbs — the textbook Isaan dish done with care

Nam Tok

Grilled beef waterfall salad — charred slices dressed with lime, fish sauce, and roasted rice, the smoky edges contrasting the bright acid

Gai Yang

Isaan-style grilled chicken marinated in lemongrass and coriander root, served with a spicy jeow dipping sauce on the side

Tom Kha

Coconut galangal soup with a lemongrass backbone — rich without being sweet, with enough acidity to keep it honest

Sticky Rice

The canonical Thai dessert — ripe mango over coconut-soaked glutinous rice, a clean finish after a heat-heavy meal
