Isan Cooking Beneath a Canopy of Hanging Umbrellas
Dine on Thai classics and Japanese fried rice in a softly lit Manhattan izakaya.
🥢 Isan Classics, Playful Plates
Yezo Thai Isankaya sets Isan cooking beneath a canopy of hanging umbrellas at 301 East 49th Street. The softly lit Manhattan room is a Thai izakaya, with rich curries among the options. Som tum and laab keep traditional plates in the mix, while playful recipes take the menu beyond them.
The kitchen draws on rustic northeastern Thai cooking techniques. Its salmon clay pot layers garlicky Japanese fried rice with smoky wok flavor, grilled salmon, and ikura. Crispy roti offers a contrasting texture, and khao soi chicken arrives topped with fresh noodles and pickled vegetables.
Live jazz is part of the evening atmosphere. Service runs Monday through Friday from noon to 4 PM and 5 PM to 10 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 10 PM. Keep the weekday break in mind when choosing between a midday meal and an evening table.
