"Farmhouse Kitchen is a colorful, kitschy Thai restaurant in West Adams imported to LA from the Bay Area. With neon pink lighting, a giant back patio, over-the-top shareable entrees, and cocktails that are served in foot-high plastic crowns, it’s clear that this place caters to groups looking to party. The yellow curry, Thai-style fried chicken, and the panang neua, a braised short rib shank covered in rich panang curry, are all standout dishes. Although the elaborately-plated dishes here are more pricey than at other Thai spots, it’s actually worth it for a kind of rowdy night out after a long week of taking things too seriously.
