Sriracha Thai Restaurant Menu

[Jomega Gibson]

Itwas a win for me and my family because I was always looking for good places near my hometown of Whittier. Many years later, the Northern Thai restaurant in a strip mall beside a Starbucks still holds a special place in our hearts.

While Renu Nakorn does offer standard Thai dishes such as Pad Thai and yellow curries, the true allure lies in the variety of Northern Thai dishes on their menu. These are not your typical Thai fare.

Served at room temperatue, it features jasmine rice mixed with a red curry paste and then fried. The rice has an unique texture, kind of like a crunchier Rice Krispies (the GOAT of cereals, in my opinion).

Next comes my favorite part: half-moons of Issan cured sausage, similar to a German summer sausage with a slightly sour taste. Surrounding that are small slivers of red onion, chili, ginger, peanuts, and lime juice.

My mom loves this dish because she loves spicy foods, but also appreciates something light and healthy. And if I'm being honest, I love it just as much as she does. And so does my wife, who, when I told her I was doing this article for Mother's Day, responded with, "What about me? I made you a father!"

Northern Thai cuisine takes cues from Burmese and Laotian cooking, while Southern-style dishes exhibit more of a Malaysian influence. Also, coconut milk is typically found in Southern-style cooking, rather than Northern-style Thai dishes.

And the rice is another clue. Northern Thai dishes are served with sticky rice eaten with your hands, while Southern-style dishes typically feature non-glutinous rice, such as cooked jasmine rice. (Yes, the Nam Khao Tod does use jasmine rice, but it's prepared in a Northern Thai style).

Dressings: Balsamic vinaigrette, carrot chili vinaigrette, citrus poppyseed, cranberry vinaigrette, cucumber basil, thai cashew, greek yougurt caesar, greek yogurt bleu cheese, lime cilantro jalapeno vinaigrette, miso sesame ginger, sriracha, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon squeeze, fresh lime squeeze.

Why stop at healthy, power-packed bowls? If we can juice the carrots that make our dressings so good, why not squeeze fresh lemons right here too? And we think that great tasting teas, lemonades & coffees can make people really happy!
