Nalinh Market is a half-restaurant, half-grocery store in a strip mall in Irving with some of the best Thai food in the city. Try the peek gai chicken wings, the nam khao crispy rice salad with pork, and the gadoog moo fried riblets and garlic. Since it’s a bit of a drive from downtown, come here with a few people to try as much as you can. Or go by yourself, order like you’re a family of four, and take what you don’t eat to go.
