"One of LA’s most exciting new Thai restaurants that first opened in Downtown during the pandemic, this second outpost in Holy Basil is more fully realized, with an open kitchen and smattering of tables inside and out that’s clearly insufficient for the demand. Founded by Wedchayan “Deau” Arpapornnopparat and Tongkamal “Joy” Yuon, expect a calvacade of spicy, tangy, sweet, and savory flavors in crispy rice salad or crispy pork moo krob. Wagyu gra pow topped with a fried egg makes for a terrific lunch while pad see ew gets all the flavors of a searing hot wok with tossed Chinese broccoli and vermicelli noodles. If you can swing more rice in the meal, get the Dungness crab fried rice and thank us later." - Matthew Kang
