At Chef Aom Srisuk's second Thai restaurant in town, the fish is fresh, the curries are creamy, and the noodles are cooked to perfection. Try one of their Seafood Signature Dishes, with ingredients sourced from the Gulf Coast: the whole fried sea bass with spicy bird chili sauce is an explosion of flavor. There's a full bar and a well-priced happy hour.
This Thai restaurant fits into its artsy neighborhood with servers wearing all black and a trendy, art-gallery approach to decorating. You can't go wrong with any of the curries, but the fried whole fish with three spicy chili sauces is a showstopper. Creative homemade desserts take the form of "dragon puffs" (think Thai-style beignets) and black-rice pudding. A full bar includes cocktails with Thai-influenced ingredients like lemongrass simple syrup and a bloody Mary with Thai chili-garlic infused vodka.
