The story
Larb Thai-Isan brings the bold, vibrant flavors of Thailand’s north-eastern region to Pompano Beach. The kitchen is led by a traditionally trained chef and guided by a long-inherited family recipe, ensuring every dish is as authentic as it gets. This commitment to genuine Isan cuisine has earned the restaurant a spot in the Michelin guide, a recognition that speaks to the quality and integrity of the food.
The menu reads like a tour of Thai street food and regional classics. Start with an Isan Sausage, a grilled fermented pork and rice sausage, or the Moo Ping—marinated pork skewers grilled and served with a tangy Jaew sauce. The namesake dish, Larb, is a spicy minced chicken or pork salad tossed with fresh Thai herbs and roasted rice powder. For something more substantial, the Khao Soi, a Northern Thai coconut curry noodle soup, is described as “the real deal, straight from the street of Chiangmai.”
The som tum (green papaya salad) section is particularly deep, offering variations like Tum Pla-Ra with fermented fish sauce and Tum Pu with salted crab. Curries range from a classic Red Curry to a Duck Curry with pineapple and basil. The restaurant also serves comforting noodle soups, including a rich Boat Noodle Soup and Duck Noodle Soup, both popular Thai street food staples.
Larb Thai-Isan is a destination for anyone seeking a direct, unfiltered taste of authentic Thai cuisine in South Florida.
