Since 2010, Kris Yenbamroong’s Night + Market has been serving inventive Thai food on the Sunset Strip, down the street from Whisky A Go Go. The restaurant, which has neon-orange walls and floral tablecloths, puts a twist on classic street dishes, from uni fried rice to lamb larb meatballs. Yenbamroong has perfected the classics, too. L.A.’s most beloved food critic, the late Jonathan Gold, praised their pad thai as “the minimal, barely sweetened version you can never find even in L.A.” Now, there are outposts in the East, in Silver Lake, and farther West, in Venice. And don’t miss the restaurant’s well-curated natural wine menu, which is among the most extensive in the city. —Jensen Davis
