This intimate 20-seater opened a few months ago in East Williamsburg and specializes in 19th- century recipes from the royal consort of King Rama V’s court. Kaew Jao Jorm, named after the former King’s favorite flower, brings a revitalized taste of regal Thai cuisine to the city. Don’t miss the signature flower dumplings—chicken and peanut filling encased in delicate blue dough—that are just as beautiful as they are delicious and highlights the elegance and complexity of Thailand’s royal culinary technique and flavor.
