Fish Cheeks

NoHo, Manhattan, NY 📍 Maps

This is a high-energy, family-style feast centered around the fiery, herb-packed coastal seafood of Central and Southern Thailand. The kitchen completely bypasses standard takeout noodles to focus on unapologetically spicy, citrus-forward dishes that balance intense heat with fresh aromatics. Sit at one of the long communal tables under the oversized woven bamboo fish-trap lamps to best handle the rapid-fire pacing of the kitchen.

★ The Legend
Steamed Fish with Thai Herbs
A whole steamed branzino swimming in a vibrant, translucent broth loaded with fresh lemongrass, kaffir lime, garlic, mint, and a heavy hand of bird's eye chilies. Regulars spoon the fiery, citrusy broth directly over their jasmine rice to catch every drop of the bright aromatics.
◆ Fan Favorite
Coconut Crab Curry
A rich, Southern-style golden curry packed with sweet lump crabmeat and fragrant betel leaves, built on a house-made paste crushed daily with a mortar and pestle. It carries a serious, slow-burning heat that is best tempered by sharing it family-style alongside a milder dish.
● Chef's Pick
Zabb Wings
Crispy fried chicken wings tossed in a dry rub of toasted rice powder, lime, lemongrass, and chili that delivers a sharp, citrusy tang. Co-founder Jenn Saesue highlights these wings as a personal favorite for their perfect balance of crunch and sour-spicy punch.
◇ Hidden Gem
Pork Cheeks
Most tables focus entirely on the seafood, completely missing these incredibly tender, fatty strips of pork marinated in fish sauce and grilled to a perfect char. They are served under a blanket of crispy fried garlic and paired with a smoky, tart jaew dipping sauce.
Insider Tip

Arrive between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM to take advantage of their daily happy hour, which features fresh oysters for just one dollar. It is the perfect way to cool down your palate before the fiery main courses arrive.
