"During the height of the pandemic in May of 2020, a trio of friends, chef Chidensee Wattanawongwat, Kitiya Mokkarrat and Supatta Banklouy opened up a restaurant in the East Village. Named Soothr, pronounced 'sood,' the quaint restaurant that once only served noodles for takeout and delivery soon began to expand its offerings as the world began to open up, incorporating generational recipes from their shared but respective upbringings in Thailand."
"Landing at 25-20 43rd Avenue, Soothr opened its doors in Long Island City on September 24. Much more spacious than the East Village location, the upgraded digs designed by Mokkarrat channel the energy of Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown. Resembling a Hong Kong-style diner known as cha chaan teng, the entryway welcomes all with checkered floors, terrazzo tables and a mahjong-style jade bar."
"But no matter where you find yourself seated, you can easily access all of chef Chidensee's traditional Thai cuisine. Of course, tried and true favorites from the OG location find space here, including all manner of noodles, curries and plant-forward dishes such as their eggplant buns and chive cakes. But a new location calls for a new menu, and chef Chidensee has certainly delivered"
Chef Chidensee Wattanawongwat, Kitiya Mokkarrat and Supatta Banklouy opened Soothr in the East Village in May 2020 during the pandemic, initially serving noodles for takeout and delivery. The menu expanded with generational Thai recipes, including Sukhothai-style tom yum noodle soup and curries, earning local and national acclaim and a Michelin Guide nod. A new Long Island City location opened at 25-20 43rd Avenue on September 24, with Mokkarrat designing Chinatown-inspired interiors that include a mahjong-style jade bar, a skylit Garden with a pine tree, and a dramatic Red Zone modeled on a 1960s Shanghai nightclub. The menu retains OG favorites and adds new items.
