Published: May 12, 2025

Fish Cheeks, a popular Thai seafood restaurant in New York, has expanded to Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The new 2,200-square-foot outpost comes nearly a decade after Fish Cheeks’ NoHo debut.

Designed by Space NY, the interiors pay tribute to the original Manhattan location, reinterpreting traditional Thai architecture with signature elements like temple-inspired rooflines and rich wooden paneling.

A striking front-of-house kitchen anchors the space, framed by a bar counter clad in vivid red, yellow, and blue tiles.

Dining chairs echo the vibrant palette, adding punch to interiors largely wrapped in vertical white subway tile.

Meanwhile, woven rattan pendant lights cast a warm glow overhead, while custom brass accents and whimsical neon fish lights round out the playful aesthetic.
