Crying Tiger (Suea Rong Hai)

Grilled steak Thai style

An iconic dish from Northeastern Thailand,
named after a legend where the aroma of charcoal-grilled beef is so irresistible,
even a tiger would cry if it couldn’t taste it.

At Zabb PuTawn, Chef Tony — a Michelin-recognized chef —
elevates this beloved Isan classic with precision and respect for tradition.
Perfectly grilled, smoky and tender beef,
paired with bold nam jim jaew made from toasted rice, chili, fish sauce, and tamarind,
finished with fresh herbs the way it’s been enjoyed for generations.

This is not just Thai food.
It’s Isan soul cooking, refined through Michelin-level technique,
and reimagined for New York City —
where heritage meets craftsmanship on a global stage.

This is GOI NEUR— a raw beef salad from Northeastern Thailand (Isan), where boldness isn’t a trend, it’s a tradition.

Minced raw beef, toasted rice powder, herbs, chilies, and lime — unapologetic, deeply rooted, and not meant to be toned down.

At Zabb PuTawn, this Isan classic is prepared the way it’s meant to be. And yes — it’s the dish The New York Times noted that Mayor Mamdani often seeks out.

This is not fusion.
This is not for everyone.
This is Isan.

Available at both our Upper East Side and Brooklyn locations.
