Skip to main contentIf you're looking for your standby green curry, head elsewhere. This date-friendly little North Mississippi Avenue Thai den looks like it was airdropped straight from a Bangkok alley (complete with recycled wood tables held up with rusty bike wheels and paintings of tuk tuks on the walls) and tastes like it, too. Owned by a trio of Thai expats, the eatery's eclectic menu, filled with choose-your-own guay tiew noodle-meat-broth combo adventures, big, tasty stir-fries and puckery glass noodle salads, is hit and miss for Western palates. But a whole quarter chicken stewed in sweet soy-sugar broth with noodles and black mushrooms ($9) is a keeper. And Mee-Sen's crisp yet tender chicken wings, shellacked in sweet hot sauce and frizzled basil bits ($6.50 for seven), are pure, must-have poultry crack—the only challenger in town to Pok Pok's fish-sauce wing supremacy.
