Thai cuisine is one of the most aromatic and exciting food traditions in the world, balancing sweet, sour, salty, spicy and umami in ways that feel almost impossibly good. Milwaukee’s Thai restaurants bring that balance to the table with pad thai tossed in woks over high flame, green curries fragrant with lemongrass and galangal and som tum salads that wake up every single taste bud. This is food that demands your full attention and rewards it generously. Milwaukee’s Thai scene punches well above its weight.
