Nari

You can order whatever, and you will love it! When I wrote about this restaurant a few months ago for Edible San Francisco, my last line was “Mark my words, you’ll be seeing Nari pop up on local and national best-of and must-eat lists—starting with this one right here, right now.” And so it was. I also recommended ordering everything on the menu, a move that still holds true. You can come here over and over and try something different and it’s going to be f****ng delicious. Perhaps my new fav thing is the gaeng bumbai aka eggplant curry it’s so insanely deeply flavorful and the texture of the crispy/creamy eggplant is bananas and somehow, someway it’s #veganaf. Would take this over the ribeye or roti hen anyday, but thankfully they’re not mutually exclusive. Of course you know to get the dang delicious gaeng gradang and miang, mang; the lod chong dessert is also an incredibly intelligent and tasty play on the dessert drink found throughout Southeast Asia but in a sort of deconstructed ice cream form. I love it so much *still* can’t wait to go back!!
