What to order
Don't overthink it.
Eat in SGV StaffBBH Larb Wings
Start with thisBig wings and drums in a thin, crisp batter, coated in larb seasoning: lime, chili flakes, and crunchy toasted rice. Citrusy, well seasoned, and so juicy they almost burst. Mild on heat. Lemon pepper wing fans should order these.
Eat in SGV StaffTom Sapp Beef Soup
Isan hot and sour soup served boiling over a flame, loaded with several cuts of beef, tendon, and tripe. Sour, savory, and herby, with spice that lands five to ten seconds after each sip. Comes with a big bowl of fragrant jasmine rice.
Eat in SGV StaffLeng Zabb Pork
Pork neck bones piled high in a clear, lightly sour broth with herbs and green chilies, also served over a flame. The meat falls off the bone, with plenty of crunchy soft bone. Ordered medium, it stays mild until you stir the chilies in.
Eat in SGV StaffBBH Dry Noodles (Bami Haeng)
Egg noodles tossed in shallot oil with pork, ground pork, fish balls, fish cake, and crispy fried wontons, with broth on the side. Slightly sweet and savory, with springy fish balls and crisp wontons that are not oily. Choose beef, chicken, or pork and your noodle.
Eat in SGV StaffBangkok Thai Tea
Creamy and not overly sweet, with a bitter tea backbone that recalls Hong Kong milk tea.
Eat in SGV StaffBangkok Breeze
Butterfly pea flower, lychee, and lime, with a whole lychee inside. Purple, pretty, and refreshing rather than sweet.

"Order the BBH Larb Wings first, whatever else you get. Then pick one boiling pot to share: the Tom Sapp Beef Soup if you want sour, savory, and herby, or the Leng Zabb Pork for tender pork neck in a clearer, gentler broth. Ask for spicy rather than Thai spicy unless you are sure. One pot with rice feeds two."
