Jay Nok Modern Thai in Olympic Village is a second act, following the closure of Sala Thai restaurant after a 40-year -run.

Second -generation restaurateur Bobby Kongslip and his wife Nok Khangrang opened the restaurant in February .

The renovations included gutting the former Flying Pig restaurant and adding a little White Lotus feel to it.

Khangrang’s curry sauces start with pastes from Thailand ; she adds ingredients to make it her own.

For a rice noodle dish, pad see-ew ( 24-hour short rib noodles, $ 33 ), she marinates short rib in a sous vide so it penetrates and gets deeply, deeply infused.

I loved the snow crab fried rice ($ 34 ), served in a half pineapple shell with extra spilled out onto the plate.
