Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine LA

"When we want a party experience in restaurant form, Farmhouse Kitchen in West Adams is the answer. This colorful, kitschy Thai spot came to LA from the Bay Area, bringing over-the-top cocktails and group-sized entrees to a space decked out with artificial plants and bright pink flowers. The menu is a mix of pumped-up Thai dishes that you won’t find anywhere else in LA. The back patio is filled with people getting "content" while chomping on dishes that are tasty as they are theatrical, like overflowing volcano cup noodles and live lobster pad thai. If it’s your first visit, get the fried chicken, panang neua (a giant short rib slathered in curry), and a few orders of deep-fried prawns for the table." - brant cox, arden shore, garrett snyder, sylvio martins

In other words, if you like your birthdays to be a bit over-the-top, take care of that reservation now. The yellow curry, Thai-style fried chicken, and the panang neua, a giant short rib shank slathered in panang curry, are all excellent." - brant cox

"Everybody knew it was a red flag when he gave you keys to his place on the second date, but you were blinded by love. Two months and one very bad pelvic tattoo later, it’s officially over. Time to let off some steam at Farmhouse Kitchen, 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 those in need of some heavy-handed escapism. For food, we particularly love the yellow curry, Thai-style fried chicken, and the panang neua, a braised short rib shank covered in rich panang curry." - brant cox

"Walk into this upscale Thai restaurant in West Adams and you’re immediately greeted by a life-sized horse sculpture with a boa around its neck. Strings of pink flowers cascade from the ceiling. There’s an illuminated sign that says “Hello, Gorgeous.” And yet, it all feels understated compared to the backyard patio. Filled with bubbling fountains, fig trees, and a long communal table with glass chandeliers above it, Farmhouse’s outdoor area could seat a full wedding banquet. On weekends, it certainly gets as rowdy as one." - brant cox

"The backyard at this West Adams Thai spot is the perfect place for a fun group meal. It looks like they hired Fran Fine from The Nanny as the landscaper, offered a couple of shots of tequila, and let her decorate the place. It’s ridiculous, over-the-top, and visually stunning, all at once. No matter what you end up eating, a few hours of socializing over Thai beers and cocktails in this kitschy, colorful garden will make your life feel briefly euphoric.
