Essex Pearl

"dhom is a unique dining experience that accentuates the brightness and vibrancy of Southeast Asian food & drinks. Our menu is composed of mostly small plates (similar to tapas style dining) while also featuring some banh-mi options during the daytime. dhom was created by Chef/Owner Soulayphet Schwader. dhom is Chef Phet's childhood nickname. It translates from Laotian to English to mean; dark or night. dhom is an expression of what Chef Phet likes to eat and cook. His local, seasonal menu is responsibly sourced, of the highest quality, and best when shared with friends in our East Village gem that is all at once intimate, inviting, and fresh."
