Cozy, unusual, quirky dining experience. We got there early at 5:40 pm and were the first to be sat and served when they open at 6. All food was fantastic, fresh, and flavorful. We tried every entree on the menu and each one was better then the next. We loved the fried rice, crispy tofu app, and spring rolls. Don’t go here if you’re looking for a quick dining experience, there’s only 1 cook in the kitchen!! Great evening.

Belmont is home to some wonderful traditions - the little yellow shop at SE 20th that deals in car batteries, the amazing Movie Madness, and, if you can find it behind the vines, Khun Pic's. The food and the experience are well worth the search and the leisurely pace that makes dining here an experience. I was not able to confirm this, but I firmly believe that my sources were reliable when I heard that the chef at Khun Pic's and the chef at Lemongrass are sisters, and that their parents ran Bangkok Kitchen that used to be at 25th and Belmont. Whether this is true or not, Lemongrass and Khun Pic's have a lot in common - located in old houses, basically 2 person operations, and phenomenal food. We recently made our first Covid era visit, and the menu seemed somewhat pared down from what I recall, but there was no trouble finding more tempting things listed than we could have possibly eaten. The fried tofu with peanut sauce was a highlight - if I could reliably know that tofu would be prepared this well, I'd order it more often. The patio here is one of the nicest outdoor dining spaces I've ever been to. Pro tip - the chef at Khun Pic's has been known to decide to shut down early, so arriving early boosts your chances for getting fed on a given evening. Don't expect fast food, but do expect excellent food.
