"Soothr is an East Village restaurant that serves central Thai dishes, like sukhotthai tom yum noodles and specialties from Bangkok’s Chinatown hub. Whatever you do, order the koong karee. This curry has a pleasantly gooey shrimp-and-egg consistency, and every rich bite tastes like shrimp paste just called curry powder to say "I love you." The dining room is huge, with a lively bar and mood lighting that make this one of our go-to Thai spots for a nice night out. And their gazebo-like backyard is one of our favorite summer dinner spots." - bryan kim, hannah albertine, nikko duren, arden shore, will hartman
