Nemesis is a newly opened restaurant for Southeast Asian food, helmed by Chef Tanrantana who worked at both Morimoto and Momosan. If you’re looking for some delicious twists on familiar favorites, that’s not in chinatown, then this spot in the Flatiron area is worth a visit.
At Nemesis, everything is more elevated… the food, the cocktails, along with the decor and vibe. Although this place is best for sharing lots of dishes family style, I could go back to Nemesis for the Nasi Goring… just to get one all to myself. No sharing needed on that dish. Chef Tanrantana does a fantastic job of making that simple dish very crave worthy!
Kale Greens & Seasonal Fruits. Peanuts. Fried Shallots. Yum Dressing Nemesis.
*really was yum-yum!
Pork stuffed jumbo Tiger Prawn-Spring roll. Spiced Banana Ketchup Nemesis.
*A take on a Filipino classic, this dish features pork-stuffed tiger shrimp, wrapped in a delicate spring roll wrapper. Served over a bed of house-spiced banana ketchup, it combines sea and earth flavors.
Flash-fried riblets. Burnt Chili. Tamarind glaze. Cilantro.
*The reason they’re called corn ribs is because they curl up when they get hot and look similar to meat ribs! We’ll probably never know who first came up with this idea, but most sources point to Max Ng of the restaurant Momofuku Ssäm Bar as the creator of corn ribs as we know them.
Foodies and chefs worldwide quickly caught on, and soon corn rib recipes were showing up all over social media. At Nemesis, Chef Tanrantana fries up these corn ribs and coats it with a delicious tamarind glaze. If you like heat, the bunt chili adds a kick. For me, I had them leave it on the side, and I enjoyed it just as much.
Flame-kissed Thai marinated pork cheek, Cabbage slaw. Nam Jim Jeow.
Indo-inspred Bali Fried Rice. Crispy Chicken Thigh. Caramelized sweet soy & Sambal
*favorite Nemesis dish of the night, so tasty and flavorful!
Thai-marinated Grilled Skirt Steak. Certified Angus Beef. Thai Chimichuri, Smashed Fingerlings. Nam Jim Jeow.
Thai-inspired. Alaskan Snow Crab Aromatic fried rice with egg & spring onion. Thai seafood sauce
*pretty darn good too, with nice big chunks of crab.
