We had an amazing experience at Nemesis. The ambiance was absolutely delightful. I’m addition to the delectable food and incredible drinks, the service was impeccable. Most notably, our server Luis catered to our every whim and need with the most warm and inviting disposition. From his suggestions to his overall manner and infectious smile, he ensured that our experience was perfect. He even arranged for us to have the octopus when it was officially not on the menu. He is the definition of hospitality. We adored our time here and cannot wait to return!

This place is a flavor paradise! The **Tomyum Fried Rice** is an absolute standout—tangy tomyum flavors combined with rich bone marrow, succulent shrimp, and tender scallops create an explosion of taste in every bite. The **Grilled Pork Belly** is another masterpiece—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly paired with a tangy Thai dip that adds the perfect zing. And the **Padang Short Ribs**? Simply divine! Fall-off-the-bone tender, slow-braised in a mildly sweet curry, it’s comfort food at its finest. Every dish is crafted with care and creativity, making this a must-visit for anyone who loves bold, unforgettable flavors!

the service was amazing (gave us free appetizer dish!) and atmosphere was nice and calming, although there some entrees that tasted more like asian mix (like chinese) than Thai, but there were still good Thai flavors in like the chicken wings and the beef slices appetizer

Nemesis in Flatiron is such a vibe. The ambiance is super cozy—perfect for a dinner with friends, a date night, or even just going solo. It feels intimate but not too serious, which I loved. The cocktails were amazing, and they really nailed the creativity. The Movie Star cocktail was such a cool twist—a rich espresso martini with sweet foam and actual popcorn on top. So unique! But the Thai iced tea with grass jelly? Hands down my favorite. It was just perfection. The food was insane. The volcano ribs were melt-in-your-mouth good, and the soup in the dish was ridiculously delicious. The bone marrow was easily my favorite—so rich and flavorful. And the Tom Yum fried rice? Super unique and packed with flavor. Honestly, every single dish felt special, and the plating was next level. On top of all that, the service was incredible—super friendly and attentive without being over the top. Nemesis has officially become one of my favorite spots in the city. Can’t wait to go back!

I loved everything and definitely would return!

A perfect dining atmosphere — the dim, warm lighting creates a cozy and stylish vibe. The dishes are refined and full of surprising flavors, blending elements of Thai, Chinese, and Malaysian cuisines into a unique Asian fusion experience. The lemon fish was especially delicious, and the stir-fried cabbage had the authentic taste of a traditional Sichuan restaurant while also incorporating some creative twists. Overall, a highly recommended spot that’s definitely worth trying.

Phenomenal and amazing, 10/10 visit. Service was flawless, both of our waiter are extremely polite and attendant. Food is great, recommend getting the Bone Marrow and the Black Sesame Cheesecake for dessert! Ambiance is also amazing, perfect for conversation and the food arrives in a speedy manner. Able to get full and be happy without breaking the bank too much too! Would definitely be back :)
