een neutered. The fish was flabby, the cuttlefish bland, and it was just a complete miss. It sat sadly on our table untouched as we devoured every morsel in the remaining plates with unabashed vigor (and a touch of sweat on the brow).  

To drink, the restaurant offers a crop of Thai-influenced specialty cocktails like the Calamity, a take on the margarita that’s mixed from Sauza blanco, yellow Chartreuse, calamansi nectar, with a fresh lemon and sugar salted rim. There is a 75-label, spice-friendly international wine list with many bottles priced under $50, and a diverse globe-spanning selection of beers, many from small, craft producers. We had a bottle of Rose from Germany that was perfect.

Dessert includes sorbets or ice creams or a root beer float. With the embers of a lovely curry blaze still in my mouth, the calamansi sorbet was ideal: a sort of a cross between a Clementine and a lime, this is one sweet-tart sorbet and it’s truly made to tame heat. A firefighter, if you will.

Kin Shop is located at 469 Sixth Avenue, between 11th and 12th Streets, 212-675-4295.
