Bangkok Supper Club

Bangkok Supper Club makes Thai food inspired by Bangkok’s late night snacks, in a big, swanky space that would be a great setting for your next night out. Except that the food at this West Village restaurant doesn’t quite bring the vibrant, late-night energy we’d expect from the people behind Fish Cheeks, the beloved Thai spot in Noho. At Bangkok Supper Club, dishes that sound intriguing, like a Northern Thai-style beef tartare, or sauteed lobster on sticky rice, have potential but don’t quite pop. The space itself is primed for a good time though, with foam green, U-shaped booths for groups, a buzzy bar, and a big open kitchen. With some tweaks to the menu, this could be a place we’d make weekend plans around. For now, we’ll stick to Fish Cheeks.
