"Holy Basil, originally a Downtown takeout window, is opening a second location in Atwater Village. Known for its bold Thai cooking, the new venue will feature a core menu of curries, noodles, and rice dishes, along with seafood specialties. The restaurant will also serve brunch, operate a small market, and feature a 'raw bar' with seafood dishes. The venue aims to provide the 'best' Thai food using carefully sourced ingredients and will focus on making a solid first impression in the new neighborhood." - Cathy Chaplin
