Night + Market Weho

"Weekends are boring as sh*t right now. You can’t eat out, you can’t see friends, and there are only so many times that you can hike the same canyon and post sunrise pics to your timeline (OK, once). Here’s a suggestion: check out the West Hollywood Night Market. No, I don’t mean the well-known Thai restaurant of the actual same name, this night market is a real one that pops up every weekend next door to Employee’s Only. There’s a variety of vendors selling everything from succulents to excellent wood-fired pizza, plus movies playing on the wall and a surprising sense of normalcy. You can either preorder online or go exploring while you’re there." - brant cox

"The landmark Thai restaurant on The Strip took a while to reopen during the pandemic, but they are finally back with their full menu available for takeout and delivery, plus an extensive list of to-go wine. No order is complete with the panang curry, crispy rice salad, or fried chicken sandwich." - brant cox

"In 2010, Kris Yenbamroong opened up the original Night + Market next door to his parent’s restaurant, Talesai, and gifted the Sunset Strip one thing it never really had: a casual place where you actually want to hang out. Fast forward to today, and this massively popular Thai restaurant has locations in Silver Lake, Venice, and Las Vegas. Despite its immense growth, Night + Market’s formula remains the same—great food, great wine, and a fun space that always feels like a party." - brant cox, nikko duren

"Chef Kris Yenbamroong’s original Night + Market makes excellent Thai food. The menu includes Thai classics and lesser-known regional specialties like the pork toro, along with the khao soi and crispy rice salad. Additional locations of Night + Market include Venice, Silver Lake, and the Virgin Hotel in Las Vegas." - Eater Staff

"Go to any of Night + Market’s three locations and you’ll eat some of the best Thai food in the city. But go to the original location in West Hollywood and you might walk out drunk-dialing your landlord. The colorful space is massive and has a back patio that’s always able to accommodate big groups on short notice. They've also got wine magnums. We don’t care how much khao soi you put into your body, those things will always sneak up on you." - brant cox, brett keating
