San Antonio

(From January 2011) Open just a year, this north central neighborhood spot provides delightful, fresh-flavored, and beautiful Southeast Asian dishes. The chef shops the local farmers’ markets when possible, and the results show in such dishes as the nem tah dear, a rice-and-ground-chicken-filled (or tofu-filled) lettuce wrap with fresh veggies, and in the red snapper “tacos” dressed with a cilantro and mango salsa (unex-pected but excellent). We also liked Manola’s curry, an interesting blend of green curry, avocado, and peanut sauce. And if you’re a fan of those tapioca-pearl-embellished drinks, you’ll find an expansive selection. Beer & wine.
