9Rim Thanonh Thai Food
In 2018, three Thai ladies, two of whom had been working in Thai kitchens in Budapest, decided to strike out on their own. Their restaurant, Rim Thanonh, is a pocket-sized space on the edge of the city's party district, near the Grand Boulevard. Rim Thanonh isn’t the type of place where you'd go for birthday celebrations or business dinners, but if tasty and reasonably priced home-style Thai food is what you’re after, this is it.
I've had delicious (and spicy) green-papaya salad (som tam), grilled pork with mint leaves, roasted rice, and red onions (nam tok); caramelized rice noodles stir fried with an egg and broccoli (pad see ew). There are four types of curries and several over-rice dishes, of which the pad krapow, with minced pork and a fried egg topping is wonderful. You can round out your meal with the signature Thai dessert: mango sticky rice.
