Fish Cheeks

Some of the best Thai food I've had in NYC. We got the grilled cuttlefish, coconut crab curry, and crab fried rice. All were delicious with unique flavors and a small spicy kick.

The wait can get pretty long some nights. We went early and were able to be seated right away.

Possibly the best Thai NYC could offer, though just an ordinary level in Asia. The steamed fish, pork neck, thai tea, and crab rice were all good. Their cocktail was actually more interesting than the foods.

The food was delightful and even better than expected. The heat isn’t overwhelming and was less than expected for the 🌶️ marked dishes. The cocktails were creative, complex flavors, but I’ll never do the shots again.
I would love to go back and explore more of the menu.

This place didn’t disappoint! Curry was spicy, creamy, coconuty and heat warming. Chicken wings and grilled chicken made me do a happy dance! Completely different flavors, both unique and delicious. Mussels were good too, but didn’t blow my mind. Atmosphere is fun and cool. Absolutely must try place! - side note: loved that waiters/bartenders we’re eating alongside customers at the bar and were served food from the menu!

Food was delicious! The grilled pork cheeks ($17) is a must-try. The famous coconut crab curry ($30) was another delicious option. We also had the grilled Spanish mackerel ($27) and sauteed cabbage ($10). They take their spice pretty seriously here, so be prepared! As for the drinks, we tried the Tongue & Cheek, Nam Gin Martini, Manao Mao, and Bond Street Villains ($17 each, $11 during happy hour) and all were tasty and decently strong. We came without reservations in between meal rushes (~3pm) and had a very short wait for a table of 2. The only downside was the long wait times for our food and drinks; we weren't in a rush, but definitely expect long wait times in between your dishes, especially if you come at peak hours. We also had to wait for our side of rice for so long that our curry got cold while waiting. The table next to ours actually couldn't wait any longer for one of their dishes and just had it taken off their order instead.

All I have to say is if you're not eating at this place, you're missing out. Delicious and unique flavors on everything from the appetizers & entrees to the cocktails. The service is A++ and they're super attentive and friendly. Atmosphere is cozy with good music. Went here for lunch and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a memorable and yummy meal!

The place was super busy during happy your, but we were seated within 15 min. We got 2 dozen fresh oysters with chili sauce and it was super fresh and fire, as was shrimp with garlic. Drinks were very interesting, but it had too much ice. Service was impeccable even though the place was packed. Not the cheapest place but definitely worth it. We’ll be back.
