"Get to Venice for some of Los Angeles’s best Thai food, made with color and care by chef Kris Yenbamroong. This spot doesn’t skimp on flavors or heat, making it one of the hottest (in many ways) places to dine in all of Venice. Try the fried party wings, swiped with a tangy, spicy sauce; the legendary pastrami pad kee mao; and the nostalgia-leaning grapow “crunchwrap supreme.” Don’t forget to buy a bottle from the stellar natural wine list." - Matthew Kang
