WHY Romantic patio setting and an evocative, just-challenging-enough Thai menu.

WHAT The glass-walled dining room is attractive, but the open-air patio—set off by 15-foot-tall steel panels laser-cut to suggest the patterns of Thai fabrics—is the ideal setting for consuming the street food-inspired dishes served at this sister restaurant to neighboring Saladang. Standouts include the crispy, addictive corn cakes, a salad of asparagus and chicken, and the fish balls with curry.

WHO Date-night couples and post—mee krob Thai food enthusiasts looking for the kind of dishes you won’t find everywhere else in town.
