Meaning “big bite” in the Northeastern dialect, Kum Poon serves up Isaan favorites with class. Revamped Northeastern fare that holds true to its gritty roots. They even serve red soda (naam daeng) with an extra shot of Hale’s Blue Boy for your sweet tooth. Even though their décor might scream at tourists to stop by, they do not tone down the chili. For real Isaan phrik, order their spicy papaya salad with plaa ra, khanom jeen, and crispy naem and their hot and spicy roasted herbs soup with grilled Thai snakehead fish.
