Fish Cheeks is a festive, plant-filled Thai seafood restaurant in NoHo known for whole fried fish, seafood-forward Thai dishes, and a lively bar and cocktail scene. That popularity, combined with a relatively compact dining room, is why tables and bar seats can be hard to land without planning ahead.
The restaurant takes reservations through Resy, and reviewers consistently suggest booking in advance rather than walking in, especially for weekend dinner. Walk-in diners -- particularly those hoping for a bar seat -- report waits during peak hours, so arriving right at opening, during the noon-6pm happy hour window, or securing a Resy reservation ahead of time are the more dependable ways to avoid standing around.
