Spice Market Restaurant

When celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten opened Spice Market in 2004, it was a Meatpacking District pioneer and the hottest spot in town. Today, Spice Market still attracts crowds with a menu inspired by Southeast Asian street foods and an awe-inspiring decor featuring soaring ceilings and a Buddhist temple motif. It's a great place for wowing out-of-town visitors or bonding with a group over shared family-style plates. Spice Market makes a memorable first impression. The converted warehouse space is huge, the ceilings are high, and there's an homage to a Buddhist temple dominating the center of the room.

The seating is low and casual, great for groups. Groups will also love that all of the dishes are served family-style so they're perfect for sharing.


The menu includes a wide selection of dishes based on Southeast Asian street foods. The highlights of the appetizer menu include spiced chicken samosas with cilantro yogurt, Vietnamese spring rolls, and a crunchy squid salad with ginger, papaya, and cashews.


You may want to stick with the appetizers and skip the entrees. The chicken with kumquat-lemon dressing was uninspiring and the cod with Malaysian chili sauce was a disappointment.


Luckily, the desserts ended the meal on a delicious note. The Ovaltine kulfi with caramelized bananas and spiced chocolate sauce was truly tasty. The passion fruit sorbet was surprisingly flavorful, especially when paired with the accompanying ginger cookies.
