Chalong

From its Hell's Kitchen location to its shared plates-style menu, Chalong is ideal for the post-work or pre-show crowd. The space is simply designed with dark wood and touches of blue at the bar, while rattan light fixtures are breezy-beautiful and eye-catching. Traditional Southern Thai flavors are celebrated and on display in the kitchen's selection of curries, rice and noodle dishes, and seafood plates. Don't skip the baerng golae, or grilled shrimp tossed in coconut curry and topped with fried coconut. Garlic-braised ribs are fried and served with a side of rice for a satisfying plate, but don't fill up, as the mango sticky rice, topped with a scoop of coconut ice cream and diced mango, is non-negotiable.
