What a wonderful idea. One thing Thailand is very famous for is its food. The night markets in Bangkok are legendary. I am so happy to see that the Thai community in Los Angeles is carrying on that tradition of amazing street food from many different vendors to give the Hollywood area its own night market. This is only on Friday thru Sunday nights but that is what keeps it special. Much of the Hollywood area is known as Thai Town. This is the largest community of Thai people outside of Thailand and when you get such a large community of Thai people, you also get lots of wonderful Thai food. It is brilliant that someone thought to gather many of these Thai street vendors in one location for three nights every week and bless us with some amazing Thai street food. Thailand is also known for its very friendly and welcoming people. That welcoming friendliness is on display here in Hollywood with this wonderful night market. There are lots of picnic tables gathered together so pull up a seat, listen to some traditional Thai music, eat some of the best street food you are ever going to be lucky enough to eat and make some new Thai friends. The Thai community loves this night market (which speaks volumes for how good the food here is) and this night market brings some of the best of "back home" to their adopted country. Their natural friendliness is infectious and they love to welcome any and everyone to enjoy some true Thai hospitality. Don't snooze on this! Even the Hollywood tourists have discovered that this is something very special. You will be thankful you gave this a try and will find yourself coming back for more wonderful Thai hospitality and amazing Thai...
Read moreAtsiam is usually open Fridays - Sundays from 5PM - 11PM. The market itself isn't super big, but they probably have like 20-30 booths. I could be wrong, but somewhere around that range. Most items are priced at $10-$20. We decided to bring cash. I think the cheapest thing I saw were Moo Ping sticks for $3 each. Our favorite items were their Khao Soi, Crispy Pork, Grilled Mackerel, and Thai Honey BBQ Chicken. We also tried their Thai Boat Noodle, Papaya Salad, Chicken Sate, Grilled Baby Octopus, and Mussel Omelette. For dessert, we shared the Ube Mango Sticky Rice, Custard Breads, and the Condensed Milk Toast. Had hoped the Mango Sticky Rice had coconut milk/cream, but preferred the toast to everything else. You can purchase sodas and water bottles. There is a parking lot available that has an attendant to direct you to available parking spaces. Your first hour is free, but anything after that there is a charge. We made it just at one hour. There is only street metered parking available. Unforunately, we did not see a bathroom available for patrons, only...
