Nahm review by Kevin Bell
I am amazed at the variety of comments about the food at Nahm. What most of the 'reviewers' are really saying is that they do not understand Thai food and how to order/eat it.
Unless you are having a Pad Thai, etc. for lunch alone you do not order individual dishes. You are supposed to order a range of dishes [all served at the same time], ideally a soup, one sweet dish, one hot, one sour, maybe one salty, etc. Then you taste ONE spoonful of a dish, take a spoon of cleansing rice, then One spoonful of a different dish or a sip of soup, slowly rotating around the table. Most Asian cuisines are best enjoyed in a similar fashion but no cuisine on earth has the range of contrasting explosive flavours as Thai.
To confuse matters, small local Asian restaurants [usually family run and desparate to make a good living], quickly adjust to providing the customer with what they feel most comfortable with, a much blander version of everything. Just ask them if you can sit down with them when their family eats and see/taste the difference!
