NYC’s Most Creative Mango Sticky Rice 🥭🍚💛

Some Thai spots you try once and move on.

Fish Cheeks? I crave this place. Constantly.

If you’re into bold, bright Thai flavors — this is the spot.

Here’s why I keep coming back (3x and counting 🤭):

🌿 Steamed Fish with Thai Herbs

MY LOVE. Steamed whole fish drenched in a tangy, spicy lime dressing that’s straight-up addicting. Tender, zesty, aromatic — nothing in NYC beats this citrusy heat.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Must-order. Every. Single. Time.

🥓 Grilled Pork Cheeks

Tender, juicy, and smoky. A minimalist take that lets the pork shine — but that dipping sauce? Fire.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🦀 Crab Fried Rice

Classic and solid. Not the standout, but pairs perfectly with the rest of the table.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

🦪 Happy Hour Oysters

Zero fishiness. Just fresh, plump oysters with a Thai twist: tangy-spicy dipping sauces that elevate everything.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

🦐 Yellow Curry Shrimp

Big, juicy shrimp in a rich yellow curry spiked with coconut milk — creamy, flavorful, and SO satisfying. Totally not your average curry.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🍹 Thai Iced Tea

Beautiful presentation, not overly sweet (but still a treat). No sugar adjustments, but worth it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

🍚 Mango Sticky Rice

And the STAR of dessert: their mango sticky rice is creative, seasonal, and photogenic. It’s not just rice and fruit — it’s art 😮‍💨💕 The mango is always perfectly ripe, and the sticky rice has this delicate coconut aroma that hits just right.

📍 Fish Cheeks | 55 Bond St, NYC

🪙 Around $70/person

✨ Outdoor & indoor seating — romantic in winter, dreamy in summer.

IYKYK: this is one of the very few NYC Thai spots where the flavors + vibes + creativity ALL deliver. Bookmark it now.

I’m Thai, and my mom taught me the authentic way to make mango sticky rice, but I’m too stubborn to follow all her steps (who has 8 hours to soak rice? 😂). So I created my own easy, lazy shortcut that keeps the real Thai taste and flavor, takes less than 45 minutes, and honestly turned out amazing!
