This was a return trip to a favorite Georgetown location. Bangkok Joe's manages to make a kind of nouveau Asian fusion cuisine which never fails to delight and uplift the palate. There is bravery here, mixing non-Asian flavors like Sriracha into the overall mix. Today's selections included dumplings (options included crispy chive dumplings or a winter squash pot stickers), Radish "Tater Tots" and Panang Curry with wide flat noodles, spinach and tofu. It is rare that I get the chance to use the word sublime, but it definitely applies here. Bangkok Joe's gets big creds for taking the usual Asian offerings, turning them on their head and creating something fresh and unexpected. The dumpling offerings change periodically, allowing for seasonal ingredients. The Radish Tater Tots were awe-inspiring in their mix of flavors and textures, and the Panang Curry light and rich all at the same time. The restaurant is additionally bright and attractive, making a visit visually enticing. Price points are incredibly reasonable for a Georgetown location. There's even an $8.99 lunch special. Best part is that their expansive menu allows vegetarians to have some real choice, and different entrees, at each visit.
Bottom line: One of my favorite local spots. Worth the visit.
