Thai plates around an indoor reflecting pool in Williamsburg

Sea Thai fills an industrial Williamsburg space with a dining room you walk into and remember. A long reflecting pool runs down the center, a bronze Buddha stands over it against a lotus mural, and low wooden benches line the water on both sides. The kitchen keeps pace with a wide menu, from fried wings and skewers to red, green, massaman and panang curries, pad see ew, and grilled steaks. The bar mixes bright, fruit-forward cocktails that hold their own next to the spicier plates. Weeknights wind down by 10:30 PM, while Friday and Saturday stretch past midnight under a slow-spinning disco ball. With 6,145 reviews on the board, tables fill quickly at prime hours. An earlier arrival or a weekday visit means a calmer look at the room. Bring a group, share across the table, and let the pool set the mood.
