This new counter at the Dekalb Market Hall offers Thai food with an American twist, and what this means in practice is a fried fish sandwich on a small brioche bun heaped with a thick wad of baby lettuces, a tomato slice, and a crisp basa filet with just the right amount of breading and snap. But what makes the dish uniquely Thai is the condiments that boost the flavor: a thick slather of garlic mayo and prodigious squirt of chile dressing, with enough sweetness to call attention to itself as the prima donna of the sandwich. Oh, and the already buttery brioche has also been spread with more butter. At $7, this sandwich is a steal and jam-packed with flavor, though you might want to eat it with a fork. 445 Albee Square West, between Fulton and Willoughby streets, Downtown Brooklyn — Robert Sietsema, senior critic
