Night + Market Song

Los Angeles is one of the world’s most exciting food cities, and Night + Market Song in Silver Lake is a standout destination for authentic, boldly flavored Thai cuisine. Silver Lake—often compared to Brooklyn for its creative, welcoming vibe—is home to this small, brightly painted restaurant on Sunset Boulevard where chef Kris Yenbamroong serves dishes inspired by his grandmother’s kitchen, classic Thai street food, and bar snacks reimagined with modern technique.

Night + Market Song has built a devoted local following thanks to a menu that celebrates vivid, spicy flavors and thoughtful preparations. The restaurant encourages communal dining: bring friends and share plates family-style to taste a range of dishes. Signature items showcase bright aromatics, balanced heat, and layered textures—everything from tangy, mortar-pounded salads to rich, coconut-based curries.

What to Order

Highlights that consistently receive praise include the grilled pork with basil, lemongrass, fish sauce, lime, and chiles—nicknamed the “startled pig”—which delivers intense savory and citrus notes. The classic som tam (mortar-pounded papaya salad) offers the ideal blend of sour, salty, sweet, and spicy. For contrasting textures, try the crispy rice salad topped with soured pork. Fans of curry should not miss the roast duck green curry, while the khao soi—curried noodles with braised hanger steak and tendon—presents a comforting bowl layered with fragrant spices and tender meat. Finish with sticky rice or other traditional rice-based sides to complete the meal.

Atmosphere and Experience

The restaurant’s compact, colorful dining room mirrors Silver Lake’s energetic, artistic spirit. Service tends to be casual and welcoming, matching the informal, communal nature of the menu. Night + Market Song is ideal for diners seeking bold, authentic Thai flavors in an approachable setting—perfect for date nights, group dinners, or adventurous solo meals.

Why Visit

Los Angeles has one of the largest Thai communities outside Thailand, and Night + Market Song represents the city’s culinary creativity and willingness to take risks. The kitchen’s focus on family recipes, street-food staples, and quality ingredients makes it a must-visit for anyone wanting a memorable Thai dining experience in LA.
