We sat on the back bar. Of Mr. Baan’s of old. It was perfect. Small and quaint but full of life. Our bartender Jesse was awesome. Great conversation. So were the drinks. The karaoke cocktail lived up. Nice selection of Thai beers. The food was outstanding. We eat a lot of Thai , and even some of this menu was new to us. The desserts too were a big surprise. The Thai dinner flavors in a panna cotta ? Yes. Worth the effort to get reservations. Excited for winter to have the alley seating open again. Can’t wait to come back.

Such amazing food! We had the fried bamboo shoots, seaweed salad, kabocha squash curry and lemon fish crudo, which were all super delicious. Staff was very very friendly too. We absolutely loved our dinner!

Unfortunately, our experience at Lom Wong was disappointing from start to finish. We had a reservation for a group, but two guests couldn’t make it last minute. Instead of being understanding, the owner/host told us we’d be charged $30 per person regardless. That policy felt really unwelcoming and rigid, especially since we were still dining there.
The food itself didn’t make up for it. Flavors fell flat, portions were small, and nothing really captured the vibrant, bold essence of authentic Thai cuisine. Shockingly, they don’t even offer mango sticky rice—a staple dessert in Thai culture.
To make it worse, we ordered a $16 dessert and were surprised to find out that the waiters actually make it. The dessert I ordered was a sundae and it’s serving was a terrible couple bites. Definitely not worth the price or hype.
Wouldn’t return or recommend. There are much better Thai spots in Phoenix

It was our first time dining at Lom Wong but we were aware of their reputation. We aren't very familiar with Thai dishes but really wanted to explore and learn. Our server was excellent and guided us to a few popular dishes - we shared everything. We enjoyed the whole experience. Excellent food, a beautiful restaurant, excellent service. We look forward to our next visit to try new dishes. A note about the location: Lom Wong is in downtown Phoenix where free on-street parking is limited. We parked close to the restaurant in a parking lot that charges $20 for two hours. We paid for the convenience since there was no free parking available nearby. If you want to hunt for parking be sure to allow for the extra time. Also, it's a small restaurant. Make a reservation or you might not get in, even on a weeknight.

All-around stellar, from the service to the quality of ingredients in every dish.
Our server, Tyler, and our host, Raymond, were so attentive and kind. We did arai kodai and Tyler brought an incredible array of dishes from a garlicky fried whole branzino (pla rad prik sam rot) to a green mango salad with toasted coconut and shallots (yam mamuang boran).
If you're dining with kids, they do have high chairs available. And they brought a covered water cup plus an extra plate for our lil guy.
Thank you to the incredible staff at Lom Wong for a wonderful experience. My photos don't do them justice!

Food here is incredible. I had my birthday dinner here and since it was a large party the only menu option was Arai Kodai for the group which is a tasting menu chosen by the chef of a lot of things from their menu. Everything we ate was delicious and being able to try a little bit of everything among friends was also a really cool experience. Made me want to come back and try everything again! I highly recommend the Arai Kodai experience if you are with a larger group or just not sure what to order. Only sad part was that you are not able to bring in a birthday cake, so if you are planning to host your bday or any type of event plan to have your cake elsewhere. I packed everyone homemade cake slices to take home with them and enjoy after the meal :)

This was my second time visiting, and while I liked it the first time, this second visit really impressed me. I think the key is variety—last time I only tried one dish, which didn’t give me the full picture.
We decided to come back after seeing the restaurant had won an award, and we wanted to see what the hype was about. Since we didn’t have a reservation, we sat at the bar (on a weekday just after 5 p.m.) and were seated right away. The bartenders were incredibly friendly and attentive—they even made me a custom drink, which was such a nice touch.
Now the food… wow. We had the scallops, wings, and the fried whole fish. I was honestly a little intimidated by the fish at first—it came with the head and bones—but it was so tender, easy to eat, and literally melted in my mouth. Everything was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection.
This spot is officially on my list of local favorites. If you’re in the area, it’s a must-try!

Incredible. Just delightful in every way. The food was stellar and the servers (in this case bartender and guy who seated us) were both so nice and personable and able to talk about the food well. Loved.
Great experience! Food was incredible. Ordered the scallop crudo, mango salad, and the rice noodles with tomato and squid. Crème brulee dessert was the best I have ever had. Portions were nice and filling for 2 people. Cocktails were unique. Interior decor and ambience were inviting and comfortable, and outside looked nice too.
There were a few prior reviews who said they wished they had been seated indoors, but the outside seating looked ok with the misters going at 8pm.
Hope to be back soon.

The food was incredible. We went with someone originally from Thailand, and she said the food and atmosphere were just like being home. I personally don't like mango, but I still went back for a second helping of the green mango (Yam Mamuang Boran) salad because it was delicious. The scallop crudo (Hoi Shae Nam Pla) was a perfect appetizer, and the crispy pork belly (Ba Buey Khlak Ti) was my favorite dish. The fried chicken (Gai Tawt Won Pen) was very good, but when compared to the incredible depth of flavors of everything else, it seemed kind of boring.

When we arrived, the front host rudely told us the restaurant wouldn’t open until 5 p.m.—no greeting or hello. However, when we returned later, we were warmly welcomed by a different host (the wife’s husband). He was very polite, informative, and even took the time to go over the menu with us. The food was delicious—we enjoyed every dish. Our server was excellent and checked on us several times. We chose to sit outside, which we didn’t mind at all since the weather wasn’t too bad. Be sure to make reservations.
