Most Thai restaurants round these parts have a deservedly poor reputation, more bad thai than pad thai. But chef Sasi Meechai-Lim and husband Allan’s (pictured) romantic boîte in a converted warehouse raises the bar with a luxe lineup that includes an ambrosial pumpkin purée dressed with morning glory fritters, and red chicken curry with fresh lichees. And nary a suggestion of ketchup.
