Little Serow<\/strong>, web site<\/a>, 1511 17th Street NW, Washington DC<\/a> (Metro Trip Planner<\/a> – opens in new window) [WaPo<\/a> | Washingtonian<\/a> | City Paper<\/a> | Don Rockwell<\/a> | Yelp<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Imagine northeastern Thai street food, Issan<\/a> style, combined with the quality ingredients and overall standards of fine dining. Right now it\u2019s the best place in DC by a long ways and the best place this area has had in a long time. The tastes are sharp, hot, sour, pungent, musty, and occasionally sweet. The level of heat can be high. You cannot choose your food. Every course was a knockout, only $45 for a seven-course menu, no substitutions. There\u2019s nowhere else like it. It is right next to Komi<\/a>, and brought to you by the same people. Remarkably, the cook is Greek-American and not Thai. Could it be the best Thai place on the East coast?<\/p>\n

Their website and menu is here<\/a>. Here is a Sietsema<\/a> review. Don Rockwell<\/a> says it may be the best new restaurant in the U.S. this year; there is more from Don here<\/a>. A must. No reservations, so you must show up before opening at 5:30 or wait two hours to get in.<\/p>\n
