Untable

"An exceptional Thai restaurant has slipped into a sleepy block of Carroll Gardens. UnTable, opened by the talented thirty-nine-year-old chef Aun Kampimarn, in September, in a charming tin-ceilinged room, exudes cheerful, unpretentious vibes, while serving elegant, modern iterations of classic Thai combinations. The restaurant’s earnest intention can be found both in its name—“Un,” a variation of Aun, signals the chef’s unconventional approach to Thai cuisine—and in a poem on Instagram by Meen Srisopa, a co-owner, that ties the cricket sounds of Kampimarn’s childhood to a Chilean-sea-bass recipe that incorporates a tomato sauce reminiscent of his grandmother’s." - Shauna Lyon
