Description

A renegade staffer from Planet Thai established this joint in Polish Greenpoint, and the food has some of the same sparkling qualities. Naked shrimp salad features six of them, perfectly grilled, ringing baby lettuces with a light chili dressing; even the house salad is a revelation, decorated with lattice potato chips and bathed in a peanut sauce not even slightly sweet. Look to the specials list, though, for the best choices, such as a delightful red curry of rubbery homemade fish cake with green beans and eggplant. Surprisingly, some of the dishes edge into Italian territory.
