"The roasted chile eggplant dip ($17) reminds me of my mom's Bangladeshi bhorta - their version is a smoky, spiced-up dip that spreads well on airy and crunchy sesame rice crackers and fresh crudities."
"The crab durian curry ($36) is sweet and creamy with a nice depth of flavor thanks to the fruit and the rich red curry paste. Mix up everything in the coconut milk to dig into the spaghetti squash."
"The space is clubby-cool with a 1970s decor theme - look out for festive tiffins along high-up shelves, and family photos with inserted illustrations of the namesake cat mascot. While the restaurant was fully packed, it never felt overcrowded - there's breathing room between tables."
LenLen is a new Thai bar and restaurant in Flatiron co-owned by Wanisa Torboonsitikorn and chef Peter Ki Suk Tondreau.

Standout dishes include roasted chile eggplant dip, crab durian curry with spaghetti squash, and sticky rice cream with seasonal fruits. Cocktails crafted by Robert Lam-Burns are flavorful and inventive. The space maintains an intimate atmosphere despite being fully packed, with festive tiffins and family photos featuring an illustrated cat mascot. Uniquely, the front room functions as a shoppable retail store offering packaged Thai foods.
