Tangerine. 228 west 10th street NYC. 212.463.8585
Tangerine is a new Thai restaurant in the west village. If my sources are correct this is the first US venture for a prominent Hong Kong restaurant group. The space is sleek and modern. I think it looks good. The details (glasses, flatware, dishes, chairs) are some of the best I've seen. Obviously someone who knows about design is involved.
The food was quite enjoyable ranging on up to superb. The lobster pad thai was a personal fave. Lots of stuff for the fish and veggie crowd. The service, in marked contrast to everything else, was verging on comedy. I think there is some sort of language and/or cultural barrier adding to the mayhem. It didn't wreck our meal, but others, or even myself in a different mood, might have felt different. They are new, and I think they'll get it together, but for now don't expect too much in that department. On the other hand, maybe that will keep the crowds down for the time being. Quite empty when we went last week, but I bet it won't be for long. I guess this all amounts to a recommendation.
i just called them about BYOB didnt get anywhere but will try again
Franks Raw Organic Marmalade
Finely chop the rinds of as many
organic citrus fruits as you like. The white pith is rich in bioflavinoids.Tangerine is exquisit. Grate a bit of organic ginger. Put in a jar & cover with honey or some gooey sweetener for veganz. Let sit in the dark until the honey is soaked up & add more honey sparingly.
Give it at least an hour. Keep in the fridge. This blows away every high end spread you ever had except
maybe that Rapunzal nutella. Is this the place for recipes; there are no good food joints in Montana.
had a meal at the bar--one fab dish catfish and mango salad made with fried catfish shavings was very good--the staff is a comedy at least from the view i had of two collage kids running the bar--yummy wine by the glass JJ Prum Riesling!!!--i will return for lobster pad thai and another glass and i hope to get out quick.....

jim how waz the wine list and did they have a bar--i will go buy tonight and try one dish and try to get them to understand the byob thing

Yes they have a list. And a bar. We went with Hannah and her friend J. who sells them wine. I forget the name of his company though. They're small. Anyway, they definitely have wine. Not sure you'll be able to get enough communication going for the BYOB, but if anyone can clear the communicative hurdles, I'll bet it's you.
