REIMAGINING YOUR THAI EXPERIENCES.
Just a short walk from Park Avenue, a new Thai restaurant has quickly established itself as a Union Square gem. From the moment you step inside, the space dazzles: a retro-Thai vision lush with hanging greenery, evoking the gardens of Babylon. At the entrance, a small shop offers house-made noodles and sauces to take home—a thoughtful touch that extends the experience beyond the meal.
The kitchen shows both confidence and ambition. The crab durian curry is a standout, weaving together briny sweetness and the fruit’s unmistakable musk into a dish as bold as it is unforgettable. The tomato som tum cocktail, a bright, clever reimagining of the classic salad, offers a refreshing counterpoint—playful, unexpected, and perfectly balanced. Cocktails arrive as works of craft and balance, every sip carrying the hand of an artist.
Hospitality here is more than a courtesy; it feels choreographed. The manager glides between tables with an attentive ease, ensuring each guest feels part of the room’s rhythm. It’s rare to find a place where service, setting, and flavor move in such harmony, but this one seems destined to become a fixture in the neighborhood.
