Holy Basil Market

When I went there because it was recommended to me, it was so crowded that I couldn't eat inside.

I tried to make a reservation through Google in advance, but I was unable to make a reservation due to a mysterious error.

I couldn't give up and ordered takeout.

There aren't many items on the takeout menu, but it's by far the most delicious Thai food I've ever eaten.

I've eaten Thai food in many countries, but even take-out food is so delicious that next time I'll definitely eat it freshly prepared at the restaurant.

Last time we came here, we were seated on barstools w/ 4 or 5 others.
Very tight space.
Not so good.
Food was OK but overpriced compared to Thai Town.

Don’t believe the hype. Food was mid. Way better Thai places all over LA. Great service though

My girlfriend and I came in randomly on a Thursday and were seated right away. The wait staff were experts when it came to the menu and explained every dish exceptionally well. They also were able to make recommendations based on dietary needs. Sharing is encouraged and I definitely suggest getting multiple dishes to pass around. They do not serve alcohol but the drinks they offered seemed to be a hit with tables around us.

Good food, small portion sizes. Strongly recommended to dine in. Holy had a menu change and photos dont matched the menu. They have good timing when serving, a lot of food have spicy but little heat. Really good flavors my favorite plate was the panang short ribs.

It was okay. We didn’t have reservations so we sat at the bar inside and it was really loud in there since they’re cooking in front of you. The crab fried rice and scallops were okay. I liked the papaya salad although it didn’t taste particularly different from other places. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the short rib. It was all pretty expensive all in all. It wasn’t bad per se but just pretty expensive for the taste in my opinion.

Everything here has such a good depth of flavor, I felt like my taste buds were dancing the whole time. The beef tataki was my favorite dish but also absolutely loved the pork belly, grandma’s rice, and the shrimp aguachile. It’s a tucked away in a cute alley, small place but the vibes and service are great.

A sauce-driven dish, built around daily-made gaeng garee (yellow curry) paste, began as a vehicle for whole cracked Dungeness crab before shrimp took the lead role. Juicy slices of Chinese celery break up the coconut-rich creaminess. You inhale the curry’s sweet and sharp spices before they register on the tongue. Coriander seed dominates, but only barely, and its floral notes bounce nicely off the scattering of Sichuan peppercorns that have been tempered in oil. They tingle as they snap against the teeth, but not so much that they flatten every bite that follows.
