Sophie’s Kitchen is a go-to for specific types. Type one is The Wing Hunter: someone who knows an order of crackly, sweet chili-glazed wings can make a bad day great. Type two is The Lingerer: the neighborhood folks who take up half of the tiny dining room and add orders of chicken sour soup and shaking beef as the night goes on (don't worry—there's a larger dining room upstairs). And type three are The Lovers: couples on low key dates that longingly stare at a plate of curry chicken and, occasionally, at each other. Whatever type you are, Sophie’s has the herby papaya salad, bubbling noodles soups, and lemongrass lacquered meat for you.
