There’s a Dakzen thread at Dakzen [Davis Square, Somerville, MA]
I’ve also made some comments about it upthread. @uni: I don’t know when you ate there last, but from my recent experience there they are going downhill, although I was not as huge an admirer of it at any point. Even their khao soi, which got so much praise from the Boston food press, was only so-so to my taste. Plus, it was one of the dishes where protein was added as an afterthought (you got to choose), not cooked with the sauce. I’m in NY right now, awaiting a delivery of khao soi from Uncle Boon’s – if my past 10 or so experiences with it hold up, it will come with a silky chicken leg infused with the flavor of coconut and the sauce will be infused with chicken fat. Now that’s a ten-best dish.
