Consider Lamoon a sister restaurant to Lamaii, the Thai restaurant from Bank Atchawaran. The Asian restaurant in Chinatown from Bon Atchawaran, Bank’s older brother, features Thai food from Bon’s wife Bia Hawang and Japanese cuisine from Jay Boonparsook.
Bon worked with Bank at Chada Thai, Chada Street, and Lamaii before opening Lamoon. Boonparsook worked at BarMasa at Aria and other local Japanese restaurants before coming to Lamoon. Hawang worked at Lamaii, where she managed the bar, and spent years working at Catch, Sage, and Jean Georges Steakhouse at Aria.
