Ly Food Market

Dallas is a great city to explore local spots tucked in shopping malls and food trucks in the surrounding suburbs. One of the best examples is Ly Food Market, which is on the Western outskirts of Oak Cliff in a nondescript strip mall washed in white and beige. The owners have turned the inside of their space into a restaurant, watch repair, and grocery store, a one-stop shop serving Dallas’ Lao and Thai communities. It’s also home to some of the best pad thai in the city, and every dish is under $15.
