Souper Siam

Souper Siam makes chicken and rice worth a closer look. Its original khao mun gai pairs boneless chicken thigh with ginger-garlic rice, soybean sauce and daikon soup. Crispy chicken gets sweet chili sauce instead, and a combination plate lets you try both. There’s also red roasted pork with rice, cucumber and a boiled egg.

The noodle soups include beef with meatballs, egg noodles with roasted pork, and a hot-and-sour tom yum version with shrimp and ground chicken. Add pork dumplings or gui chai, fried chive pancakes served with dark soy sauce, if you’re sharing. Thai iced tea and coffee round out the order. The High Street location is a practical lunch stop in the Financial District, with online ordering available.
