Eat-pisode, a Thai restaurant located at 123 Ludlow Street, right in the heart of the L.E.S., blends a healthy portion of urban chic with traditional fare done right.
The spot is small enough to feel like you’re special just for knowing about it. Go on a Saturday night though, and it will be throbbing with dressed-up diners sipping wine at candlelit tables, being classy before another jaunt into the Lower East Side.
Perfect for a date or small group, Eat-pisode has an intimate air to it. If you plan on drinking, the restaurant is BYOB, just remember corking fee is per bottle so I’d go with a bottle of red over Red Stripe.
As you’re dining, the vibe of Ludlow Street flows in through the open entrance. It’s easy to people watch if you can take your eyes off the interior. Eat-pisode’s modern décor is subtle and charming. Sculpted walls, and small boxes of light inlaid amongst hanging paintings of rustic Thailand made me long for the Mekong River and a little fishing.
Eat-pisode offers up sizable, satisfying portions of spicy Thai favorites including, Pad Kee Mao, a variety of curries, and Pad Kha Pow with an amazing basil chili sauce. Their presentation can certainly be unique, as well. They served me some elongated spring rolls in a pint glass with a generous helping of perfectly sweet plum sauce garnished with carrot strings.
Mr. Pannawat Akkarajirapan, a waiter at Eat-pisode who has worked in six Thai restaurants said, “[Eat-pisode] is more authentic, and the best one I have been at.” A hideout in plain sight, Eat-pisode will become a regular spot for anyone enthusiastic about delectable, and affordable, Thai dining.
