SEA Thai Restaurant and Bar

The DJ’s beats are thumping, the central pool is presided over by a giant Buddha, and the Billyburg crowd is decked out in the latest Bedford Avenue threads. For a place that’s so stylin’, the prices are shockingly cheap and the food is remarkably good. Jade seafood dumplings are stuffed with shrimp and crab and come with a nutty Massaman sauce. Rama the King, a blend of creamy Massaman and red curries topped with crunchy Terra Chips, is a reliable entrée. Another winning combination is a half-chicken, grilled with lemongrass and panang curry. Service can be scattered, but pomegranate mojitos will help you keep your cool.
