Wan Wan – New York - a MICHELIN Guide Restaurant

"Smack in the heart of SoHo, Wan Wan delivers on its promise of deeply flavorful Thai cuisine. The long, narrow space is capped by a glass facade, allowing diners to take in the classic SoHo street scene, though the steaming bowls and plates ferried to your table will likely steal your focus. Moo hong, or braised spare ribs marinated in soy, ginger and garlic, are at their sticky-sweet, rich and peppery best. Classic ped krob is given a modern slant here, with cold, smoky duck paired with kale, crisp green apples and cherry tomatoes dressed with a hoisin-based vinaigrette. It's equal parts spicy, salty, sweet and smoky. Guay tiew tom yum is a well-known Thai soup; Wan Wan's version tucks knobs of sweet Maine lobster in the spicy, heady broth." - Michelin Inspector
