    Southern Thai

    A narrow Hell's Kitchen counter lined with dark wood and rattan fixtures draws the pre-show crowd for Southern Thai shared plates. The kitchen moves confidently through curries and noodles, but the real argument is between the coconut-crusted shrimp and the garlic-braised ribs—both best followed by mango sticky rice with coconut ice cream, a dessert that justifies skipping the appetizers.
