Master Critic Review

Yezo Thai Isankaya 8.1
Turtle Bay
A Midtown East Thai-leaning isankaya built around saucy comfort dishes and a hot-pot lane that plays well for groups. The food shines when you order one signature curry plus one noodle or hot pot, then let the room’s upbeat, night-out energy do the rest.
Must-Try Dishes: Short Rib Massaman, E-San Hot Pot, Khao Soi Chicken
