π New York Exploration | Fish Cheeks Is Seriously Thai and Spicy π₯°
π Fish Cheeks π° Average Cost: $50-100 (depending on how hungry you are π) π₯ Authentic Yunnan Taste Review New York has no shortage of good food, but many restaurants donβt open until the afternoon. After arriving on an early flight and consulting a major social media platform, I decided to try this hidden Thai gem in NoHo. π I initially thought it was just an βInstagrammableβ place, but the first bite completely won me overβthis is seriously Thai! π The chef is a genuine Thai, and many of the spices are reportedly air-freighted, which explains the authentic taste! As someone from Yunnan who grew up eating chili peppers, dipping sauces, and pickled peppers, I can confidently say: this place has super authentic Thai flavors. Itβs spicy enough to be satisfying but not overwhelming! πΆοΈ π½οΈ Are the Recommended Dishes Worth It? 1οΈβ£ π Thai Steamed Seabass πππππ The seabass is tender, sweet, and boneless! Paired with a tangy and spicy lemon-pepper sauce, it instantly transports you back to a Thai night market! 2οΈβ£ π¦ Daily Special Grilled Lobster πππππ Not on the regular menu, so remember to ask the waiter about the Daily Special! You might discover even more delicious dishes. The lobster meat is incredibly bouncy, and the head is full of roe. Dipped in the secret tangy and spicy lemon sauce, itβs a flavor that will make you cry tears of joy! π 3οΈβ£ π· Grilled Pork Neck ππππ The fat-to-lean ratio is perfect, and the crispy skin is aromatic. Paired with chopped onions, itβs super flavorful even without sauce! π 4οΈβ£ π¦ͺ Oysters πππ From the East Coast, they are fresh and sweet but a bit ordinary compared to the other dishes. π₯ In Summary The seafood is fresh, and the seasoning is impeccable. Itβs perfect for a gathering with friends or a date! If you love tangy and spicy flavors, just go for it! π π¬ Fellow foodies, what other Thai restaurants in New York do you think are worth a visit? **π #NYCFoodie #food #fishcheeks #NYCExploration #NYCWeekend #AuthenticReview #FoodieDiary #SpicyLovers #SeafoodLovers #GlobalFoodReviewContest
