Bank Atcharawan, formerly the sommelier at Lotus of Siam, opened Lamaii Thai restaurant in Chinatown in early 2019. This cuisine is called a modern take on classic Thai, with small plates such as shrimp cakes, steak tartare, chicken wings, fried taro roll, and deep-fried pork belly ($8-$22), soups including tom kha kai ($11), and main course like curry, duck, prawns, salmon, snapper, pork, noodles, and a 12-ounce Angus rib eye ($12-$25).
Atchawaran also runs Patio Desserts and Drinks a couple miles south, so the desserts here are worth trying: coconut cake, mango and sticky rice, and egg-yolk ice cream ($5-$9).
