RESTAURANT REVIEW

With the successful Komi running like a smoothly oiled machine, Johnny Monis and Anne Marler decided it was time to branch out. They renovated the ground-floor space next door to Komi and opened this restaurant, where each night they serve a price-fixed, family-style meal of northern and northeastern Thai dishes for $45. A no-reservation policy makes it a bit of a hassle to eat there — people start lining up in advance of the 5:30 opening hour – but reviewers say “the hot and impressive food” is “worth the wait.” A “small but excellent” list of beer and wine complements the food.
