| - My first lunch at Sujeo lived up to the high expectations I had of Chef Tory Miller, Southeast Asian street food, and local Wisconsin ingredients. We started with the Som Tam salad, where Wisconsin kohlrabi replaces the green papaya from the original Thai version. It was perfect and didn't feel like an ingredient compromise at all - a great local take on the traditional salad.
En route to the restaurant, I told my friend that there was one particular dish I hoped to see on the menu, and, sure enough, they serve Khao Soi. This became a favorite of mine on a visit to Chiang Mai, the home of this lovely comfort food curry chicken noodle dish. While it's not the easiest Thai meal to find in the U.S., I've tried it many times, and Sujeo's Khao Soi is the best I've had in the States and it's right up there with the first bowl I had at the Chiang Mai night market! It's a little spicier than some, so be sure to take the advice we received from our server and have a taste before you add the chili oil!
We'll definitely be back soon to tour more of the menu!
