The restaurant Avenue A Asian World is truly unique, with food being served amongst a dj booth and the work of local artists adorning the walls. According to co-owners Mana Premmana and Sunisa Rungruang, the previous location was an art gallery but they moved in 15 years ago to offer Japanese and Thai food, each made by natives of the respective countries. Rungruang feels that by offering the cuisines of two countries, they are catering to their customers’ various needs. She says, “When you come here you have two choices. If you are in the mood for Japanese food but Thai dessert (or vice versa), we can do that.” Premmana highlights the Oyster Boister and Dynamite appetizers as two of their most popular dishes, and they share a “dynamite sauce.” Its contents are a secret, but the creamy content of both dishes gives you a hint as to its ingredients. Besides the kitchen there is a sushi bar as well as a full bar, serving up drinks such as their famous lychee martini. For those who prefer a quieter meal away from the weekend music and funky decorations, next door there is an additional dining room with a more subdued atmosphere so there really is something for everyone.
