"What It Is: A new casual Thai spot in Venice from the people behind Night + Market and Night + Market Song Perfect For: People Watching, Casual Weeknight Dinner Venice isn’t exactly a hotbed of quality Thai restaurants, so it’s a big deal that one of LA’s best Thai spots, Night + Market, just opened their third location down near the beach. We visited on a Saturday night a week after opening, and abandoned our plans when faced with an hour and a half wait. We walked right in on Monday night at 6pm, although 30 minutes later they were already full. So plan ahead. Menu-wise, much is the same as at the original - fantastic Thai food with a modern twist (the personal-sized peking duck pizza did not disappoint, and yes they do have the fried chicken sandwich), and the atmosphere is both a party and family-friendly. Verdict: An excellent, much-needed place for quality Thai on the Westside. We’ve added it to the Hit List." - Jess Basser Sanders, Brant Cox, Brett Keating
