LOS ANGELES | Night + Market Song was owner/chef Kris Yenbamroong’s first permanent restaurant. It opened in Silver Lake in 2014. Before this, he was running pop ups at the back of his parent’s Thai restaurant. You might have seen the pop up featured way back on Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. The space is small, colourful, and hectic. It aims to replicate a bit of a Thai street food vibe and is a whole lot of fun.
At Night + Market Song, Yenbamroong’s team pumps out punchy street food dishes mostly from the Chiang Rai province of Northern Thailand, where his mum hails from. One of the highlights is the larb. There are two versions – a spicy pork and milder chicken . Both are delicious, but the pork is next level. Yenbamroong’s version is a Lana-style larb. Hand-chopped pork, pork liver, pork blood, & a dry spice mix. It’s wonderfully earthy, salty, bitter, and very spicy.
Other tasty dishes include nam khao tod – a crispy rice salad with soured pork, raw ginger, onion, peanuts, cilantro, and chilli, and the sweet potato and crispy yam massaman with a hearty curry broth topped with
toasted coconut. Also try the sapa-get-dee pla khem (aka bangkok mall pasta). It’s a riff on spaghetti bolognaise found in malls across Bangkok and features spaghetti with garlic, birds eye chili, young peppercorn,
Thai basil, and salted fish. It’s very good.
For drinks, there’s not much in the way of beer and cocktails – it’s all about wine, very good wine in fact. The focus is on minimal intervention, natural wines and there’s a whole page dedicated to the stuff, with several available by the glass. If you want to BYO you can, but there’s a $30 corkage fee.
