Songkran Thai Kitchen

Compact without being too cramped, the Uptown restaurant Songkran Thai Kitchen feels like the right spot for a dinner with your favorite people. No matter when you walk into the Thai restaurant, it’s likely buzzing with friend groups passing steaming pad thai across their table and couples at the bar taking advantage of the daily Happy Hour special (hello, $5 Martini Mondays). The menu is stacked, but be sure that both the chicken satay served with an earthy peanut sauce and the decadent yellow curry make it to your table. And when it’s nice out, a meal at Songkran is just as enjoyable on the adorable patio.
