Khao Tom Feast

A Hell’s Kitchen Icon, Reimagined.

For 17 years, VIV has been a staple of Manhattan's vibrant dining scene, serving as a trusted neighborhood gathering place on 9th Avenue. Today, we are proud to introduce a completely transformed VIV—a bold new chapter that honors our roots while pushing the boundaries of Thai culinary and cocktail culture in New York City.

Thai Modernism
