Wayla

A hidden away trendy Thai restaurant in the Lower East Side serving up homestyle dishes.

Located in a unassuming basement storefront on Forsyth Street, which opens up into a stylish dining area and a charming patio - complete with lush greenery and string lights. This sleek Lower East Side restaurant - themed around Thai street markets - comes from Erika Chou (Yunnan Kitchen, Northern Tiger) and Tom Naumsuwan (Spicy Shallot), a chef who created the menu based on his time working with Bangkok street vendors. Dishes include sen chan pad lobster (lobster stir-fried noodles), larb play tod (fried whole-branzino), and rotating curry dishes - with cocktails from Anthony Baker (The Aviary) - using traditional Thai ingredients.
