Imagine this: as you step through the doors of a warm and bustling restaurant, the scent of delicious Asian street food fills the air, and the sight of live plants creates a cozy atmosphere. This is Nemesis, the talk of the town for foodies in New York City.
Since opening just two months ago, Nemesis has become the go-to spot for those craving authentic Asian cuisine reminiscent of the bustling night markets of Bangkok and Taipei. The team behind this culinary gem, including Executive Chef Francis Tanrantana, have made it their mission to impress diners with dishes filled with bold flavors.
Chef Tanrantana, originally from Thailand, brings his expertise from Nowon and Tong in Brooklyn to Nemesis. His skillful use of seasonings and heat is evident in every dish, and he loves to surprise adventurous diners with his creations. Beverage Director Nick Hwang’s exotic cocktails perfectly complement the bold flavors of the cuisine, creating an unforgettable dining experience.
The menu at Nemesis encourages sharing, with generous portions of Pan-Asian delights. From spiced corn ribs to sambal skate, each dish tells a story of regional influences and culinary prowess. The tiger shrimp shumai and crab fried rice are sure to leave a lasting impression, while the “crying tiger steak” will tantalize your taste buds.
While the desserts may be forgettable, the overall experience at Nemesis is truly unique. In a city filled with Asian eateries, Nemesis stands out by offering a dining journey through the flavors of the East.
