About

Bangkok Supper Club opened in September 2023 at 641 Hudson Street (near Horatio), the more polished follow-up from Fish Cheeks partners Jenn Saesue and Chaht Suansilphong with executive chef Max Wittawat, a Bangkok native who previously spent years as pastry chef at Spot Dessert Bar and competed on Iron Chef. The house frames the room as inventive Thai inspired by Bangkok’s late-night food scene, with a charcoal grill at the open kitchen and shareable plates rather than a pad Thai-first menu. Recurring signatures include scallop ceviche with chili-watermelon granita, fried pork cheeks over garlic rice, sticky-rice-stuffed chicken wings, whole branzino with nam jim, and beef-cheek massaman. Pete Wells made it a New York Times Critic’s Pick with two stars in November 2023; Michelin includes it in the Guide with a Michelin Plate. Eater, Resy, and The Infatuation treat it as a vibey, hard-to-book West Village night. Book on Resy; a limited kitchen-counter tasting option appears on some reservation slots.

Diners say

Public reviews on Resy, Google Maps, and Yelp praise the scallop starter, charcoal flavors, cocktails, stylish booths, and special-occasion energy. Recurring friction is hard Resy bookings, a lively loud room, premium prices and portion size debates, and a split on whether larger entrées match the small plates. A smaller thread finds the scene ahead of the cooking or prefers Fish Cheeks for a simpler seafood night. Diners who like it usually book early, lean into starters and charcoal dishes, and treat it as a West Village night out rather than a quiet meal.
