Best Restaurant Dishes Eater NY Editors Ate This Week, August 11, 2025 | Eater NY

"For my husband’s birthday, we headed here for Thai that felt celebratory: we shared the phuket pak mor ($15), really lovely textured steamed dumplings stuffed with radishes and peanuts. For my main, I got the crab curry ($29) with an absolutely lappable coconut curry and crab two ways — a whole soft shell crab and floating tender crab chunks — spicy in just the right way, with cooling breaks via bites of his pad kee mao seafood ($26), a sort of build-your-noodle-bite platter with sweet-savory flat rice noodles and such plump shrimp. The cocktails were fun too; my After School ($19, paying homage to the Thai city of Surat Thani) was made with butterfly pea vodka and rambutan for a sweetly tart flavor." - Bettina Makalintal
