"With Holy Basil’s Atwater Village spot comes a larger space to enjoy the same hits from the Downtown location: Instagram-worthy beef tataki sprinkled with toasted rice powder and a puckery chile sauce, a nostalgic ode to chef Deau Arpapornnopparat’s grandma in the form of fried barramundi and lime-kissed rice, and wild shrimp curry loaded with fluffy egg curds. There still isn’t a ton of space to dine on site, so expect to wait during the busy hours. The eclectic wine menu also remains. Expect Holy Basil to expand to Santa Monica later in 2025." - Kat Thompson
