Night + Market Weho — Restaurant in West Hollywood

We go to Night + Market Weho often because the food is genuinely excellent—probably some of the best Thai food in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the hospitality has consistently been the opposite of that quality.

Dishes arrive the moment they’re ready, one after another, without any pacing. It forces you to eat quickly so the food doesn’t get cold.

When we asked a server if the dish she dropped off was our last, she snapped back, “This is my first time talking to y’all, so I don’t know.” No offer to check—just dismissive. As if we were intruding on her time.

The server who took our order vanished until the check arrived, at which point we had to flag a mistake (we were charged for a dish that never came). He removed it but without apology, and then disappeared again for 10 minutes before returning with the corrected bill.

My wife kindly asked the manager if the music could be turned down slightly so we could hear each other. Instead of a polite “Sorry, we can’t,” his actual words were: “No. We can’t do that. We’re a rock and roll restaurant and we play loud music. If you don’t like it, don’t come.”

The atmosphere is so tense that when I almost knocked over a water bottle, my first thought was that the staff would scold us. That’s not how a restaurant should make guests feel.

To put this in perspective, restaurants like Bacari go out of their way to make guests feel at home. At Night + Market Weho, we left feeling embarrassed that we had brought out-of-town friends there.

Even the valet added to the frustration: when we arrived I asked if I could pay with a card, I was told “yes.” Only afterward did I learn that paying by card adds an unmentioned $2 fee to the posted $12 rate. Not a huge sum, but it felt intentionally misleading.

The food here is worth ordering for delivery, but the in-person experience is not one we’ll repeat. For all its great flavors, the lack of basic hospitality...

Night+Market WeHo took me on a memorable journey of Thai cuisine, with flavors that left me in awe. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, although there were a few aspects that didn’t quite meet my personal preferences.

The food at Night+Market WeHo was undeniably some of the best Thai cuisine I’ve ever had. From the moment I tasted the wings, pad Thai, short rib curry, and mango sticky rice, I was transported to a realm of delectable flavors. Each dish was bursting with authentic Thai spices and well-balanced ingredients, showcasing the culinary expertise of the chefs.

While the majority of the dishes were exceptional, I personally found the chicken in the pad Thai to be less satisfying. Taste preferences can vary, and it didn’t quite meet my expectations. However, it’s important to note that this is a subjective observation, and other diners might enjoy it.

The atmosphere at Night+Market WeHo had a vibrant and energetic feel, reminiscent of a night club. While some may appreciate this lively ambiance, I found it a bit overwhelming for a dining experience. It’s worth considering whether you prefer a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere or enjoy the energetic vibe of a bustling establishment.

The waitstaff at Night+Market WeHo provided excellent service, showcasing attentiveness and professionalism throughout my visit. They were knowledgeable about the menu, accommodating to special requests, and ensured that our dining experience was enjoyable.

In conclusion, Night+Market WeHo offers an unforgettable culinary adventure through Thai cuisine. With outstanding flavors and a menu that will leave your taste buds dancing, it’s a must-visit for Thai food enthusiasts. While the chicken in the pad Thai didn’t quite meet my personal taste, the overall quality of the dishes and the exceptional service from the waitstaff made the experience...

Alright, strap yourself in for this review... This is nothing but the truth and the whole truth. As you can tell by the photos, there are many concerned patrons who also happen to be craving noodles. This is a given at any Thai restaurant... No surprise there. The first surprise comes with the Elizabeth Taylor movie poster. Maybe Kris Yenbamroong is a big fan of The Only Game In Town? Who knows. PM me if you have any more information on this.

Part II My father once told me there are many things to be careful of. One of them was Hep C. Thank God that's no longer the case #Sovaldi. Another thing is availability of wine. As you can tell by the photo evidence, they are out of many bottles of wine, so plan accordingly.

Part III This is were the drama begins. We were eating quite a delicious meal, but things naturally got quite messy. We were each allocated one paper napkin at the beginning of the meal, which was soiled within minutes (see the fifth photo). We asked for more napkins for the table, and were provided with a fresh plate, upon which a single, neatly folded napkin was placed (sixth photo). A single napkin for a table of four?? Apparently Night and Market harvests their own pine trees in the parking lot out back and is worried about running out of paper. Fortunately, the table next to us had just left, and had been so kind as to leave their used napkins behind. Like any man with very little self respect, I had no choice but to use the pre-used napkins from the table next to us...
