Long Grain
If you’d have told me that WASPy little Camden had some of the country’s best Thai food, I wouldn’t have believed you, but here’s Long Grain. The glossy food mags have all sung its praises (the restaurant’s Chicken Khao Soi soup was even a Bon Appétit cover girl), and the impossibility of a walk-in table most summer nights is a pretty good vote of confidence. Chefs Paula Palakawong and Ravin Nakjaroen turn out fragrant and flavorful dishes of ramen, pad seaw, and pad kemao (all with house-made noodles), along with terrific curries, pork dumplings, lemongrass mussels, and more. There’s a small market for take-home Asian pantry items alongside the dining room.
