"This Thai restaurant in Flatiron is said to be inspired by the shophouses of Bangkok, though we can’t confirm if the owners live above the restaurant at this time. Though probably not, given that the chef did a stint at Spago in LA, and the bartender comes from Maison Premiere. You’ll be able to pick up ramen noodles and other small groceries in the front, before shuffling on to the back of the restaurant, where psychedelic Thai music plays, and dishes like a strawberry and papaya salad, eggplant and tofu krapow, and crab-durian curry make extensive use of the produce at the Union Square Greenmarket. The chef is is also involved with a several spots in Chelsea Market, including Very Fresh Noodles, Bar Suzette, and hidden bar N’Between. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists. RESERVE A TABLE" - Will Hartman
