Saturday and Sunday mornings on the corner of Kenmare and Mott Streets are perpetually packed with hungry hopefuls waiting for a table at Thai Diner. The culinary mash-up of Thai flavors and American fare is thanks to Ann Redding and Matt Danzer. Previously of the beloved Uncle Boons and Uncle Boons Sister, both now closed, Redding decided to channel her Thai and American upbringing into a diner that spins the classics. Five years and one pandemic later, the all-day diner is still calling crowds well into the late afternoon.
Daytime hits include a homemade Thai tea babka french toast, drizzled with condensed milk and served with a Thai tea-infused butter while soft-boiled eggs get complimented with chili jam and scallion roti. Not sure where to start? The Thai Disco Fries with a fragrant massaman curry are always a good call.
