Score 85/100 · Order: Boat noodles, pad kee mao · $13–19
Siam Nara leans regional. The boat noodle broth is dark, spiced, and slightly funky in the way it should be, and the pad kee mao arrives with real chili heat. The room is small and utilitarian, which keeps the price down.
Local tip: Ask for the Thai-language specials board — the best dishes are not on the printed menu.
