I recently met up with a fellow runner friend for lunch at Thai Issan after we had both placed in a half marathon just a few days earlier. When we made plans weeks ago, we had no idea it would end up feeling like a celebratory post-race lunch — but it turned out to be the perfect way to catch up and enjoy a well-earned meal together.
We decided on Thai Issan at Market City Shopping Center since we were both craving Thai food, and it’s conveniently located near my workplace. Parking around lunchtime at can definitely get busy in the area, but surprisingly, the restaurant itself was pretty quiet when we arrived. Honestly, I didn’t mind at all. It gave us the chance to relax, enjoy a great conversation, and savor our food without feeling rushed.
We shared two dishes: the pad Thai with tofu and the King of Chili with chicken. Both were absolutely delicious. The Pad Thai was cooked perfectly with great texture and a good amount of seasoning — comforting and satisfying.

The King of Chili packed a ton of flavor! Despite its name, it's not spicy at all so long as you ask for it "mild".

Thai Issan continues to be one of my favorite Thai spots on the island. Consistently flavorful food, a relaxed atmosphere, and the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again, whether you're dining in or getting it to-go.
