$$$ · Thai, Contemporary

Husband-and-wife Chefs Ohm Suansilphong and Kiki Supap are behind KRU, which is Thai for "guru." Indeed, you will get a lesson in traditional Thai dishes albeit ones that have been spruced up in a decidedly contemporary way. Sleek and airy, the interior is equally of-the-moment with exposed brick walls and ductwork along with cement tiled floors. First up? Braised beef shank and tripe in a rich, flavorful broth with pork cracklings, bean sprouts, and Chinese broccoli with a nice balance of sour and spicy. Then, red curry-rubbed branzino over steamed egg and Napa cabbage is served on a banana leaf with white rice.
