Heralded as a must-try by multiple sources, I was happy to make it out to Highland Park (seriously underrated 'hood with beautiful old houses btw) and try SBL. Intentional or not, everything is way too safe here. Not much flavor. Did not register even faint blips on the savoriness radar.
Pacing was horrendous. I'm willing to bet it was more the tiny kitchen than the serving staff (who were super nice). There seemed to be a ton of take out orders so maybe they have to make tough decisions. Whatever the Thai equivalent of those Sesame Inn crunchy noodles might not be the worst idea to tide people over. I also feel immeasurable pity for anyone who has to use the restroom here, as literally every single person in the restaurant will watch you walk in and walk out. Maybe they should convert to take out only or try to rent out the rest of the building they're in.
