At the heart of HED NYC is Chef Saint, whose culinary vision and international experience define the restaurant’s identity. Chef Saint brings world-class expertise from Sawaan, the acclaimed one Michelin-star Thai restaurant in Bangkok, where he refined his skills in precision, technique, and luxury hospitality.

His ability to merge authentic Thai roots with innovative fine dining execution positions HED NYC as a serious contender in Manhattan’s competitive luxury dining scene.
HED NYC will be more than a restaurant—it will be a fully immersive tasting experience. Each course will tell a story rooted in Thai culture, seasonal inspiration, and culinary craftsmanship.
