Holy Basil Santa Monica

Acclaimed Thai Restaurant Holy Basil Just Opened in Santa Monica | Eater LA

"After nearly a year of development, chefs Wedchayan “Deau” Arpapornnopparat and Tongkamal “Joy” Yuon’s acclaimed Thai restaurant, Holy Basil, is now open in Santa Monica. The restaurant’s Westside outpost opened in late November along Santa Monica Boulevard with dishes such as chile chicken, steak topped with Thai basil chimichurri, and tom yum risotto. Yuon assembled a menu of non-alcoholic drinks like hibiscus agave oolong and dragonfruit rosemary to pair, with beer, wine, and sake joining the lineup soon. Currently, Holy Basil Santa Monica is open from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday to Sunday, with additional hours and takeout to come." - Rebecca Roland
