Sapp Coffee Shop Thai Restaurant

The storefront window at Sapp Coffee Shop wears a faded, hand-painted sign that promises boat noodles. Inside, the linoleum floors have worn thin under decades of traffic, and the menu boards feature photos of dishes that have remained unchanged since the late nineteen eighties. When the owners opened this spot in Thai Town, they focused on serving the recipes they grew up with in Bangkok. A bowl of their boat noodle soup relies on a dark, spiced broth and thin rice noodles.
