The menu is full of bold flavors and beautifully presented dishes. Some options, like the Tom Yum rice, pack quite a spicy kick—perfect for anyone who loves heat! I’d recommend letting them know your spice preference so they can tailor it to your taste. The octopus and drunken noodles were flavorful and satisfying, and it’s clear a lot of care goes into the cooking.

Blending flavors from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, and delivering a bold and innovative dining experience. The space leans minimalist yet sophisticated, with a well-curated full bar.
On the food side, Nemesis offers creative reinterpretations of Southeast Asian classics. The Fried Oysters, Thai-style Beef Tongue, and Grilled Iberico Pork Jowl were all outstanding! The Roasted Bone Marrow with Baguettes was flavorful but leaned a bit too rich.

Was overall an interesting experience, especially given how much I appreciate fusion cuisine. I really enjoyed the creativity behind the Malaysian and Thai flavors interplay. The dessert selection was quite disappointing unfortunately just down the block. Gramercy Tavern was able to scratch the itch. A decent first date spot. The bronze was supposed to be one of the most well reviewed fish and while it was quite palatable, I have definitely had better within a 10 block radius.
Nemesis is a Southeast Asian restaurant located in NoMad, known for its elegant and comfortable environment, perfect for gatherings with friends and family. The restaurant also features a well-curated bar for couples to enjoy a drink.
The menu offers a variety of authentic dishes, such as Spiced Corn Ribs with a tamarind glaze and fresh cilantro, and Curry Pork Ribs cooked in mild Karee Curry with kaffir lime leaves. It includes creative reinterpretations of Southeast Asian classics like Fried Oysters, Thai-style Beef Tongue, and Grilled Iberico Pork Jowl. Dishes like Tom Yum rice add a spicy kick, while the octopus and drunken noodles are flavorful and satisfying. The egg yolk softshell crab, coated in a salty egg yolk sauce, and the Crying Tiger Steak, a grilled 10oz ribeye steak marinated in Thai spices, are among the standout offerings.
The service is impeccable, and the food comes out quickly and on point. The cocktails are complex and beautifully crafted, with highlights like Freshman Fizz, Sky High, and Starry Night Sour. The cocktail menu is thoughtfully designed with illustrations and details, making it approachable for everyone. The establishment specializes in delivering vibrant Southeast Asian cuisine, drawing inspiration from the culinary traditions of Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia. Each dish is artfully arranged to captivate the eyes and stimulate the appetite.

The menu feels like a Southeast Asian twist on tapas, featuring many small plates and shareable dishes, making it great for small gatherings or casual walk-ins. Overall, Nemesis offers an interesting and innovative dining experience with bold flavors and beautifully presented dishes.
