We can’t resist buttery lobster rolls and simple shucked oysters on the half shell, but when it comes to seafood, Fish Cheeks’ coastal Thai preparations are far more exciting. Taking its name from a part of the fish that is considered to be a delicacy in various cultures, Fish Cheeks offers a more nuanced understanding of Thailand’s cuisine: Bangkok-style sour orange curries and chilli jams demonstrate the diversity of the country’s regions. Ohm Suansilphong, who grew up around his parents' restaurant in Thailand, and co-owner Jenn Saesue, bring their Noho restaurant’s family-style joy to the convivial atmosphere of our communal dining tables.
