Night + Market Song
Night + Market Song in Silver Lake brought chef Kris Yenbamroong's unapologetically bold, street-food-rooted Thai cooking to a wider Los Angeles audience, earning national acclaim for its refusal to dial down the heat, funk, or fermented depth that defines authentic Thai cuisine. The Khao Man Gai, poached chicken over ginger-fragrant rice with fermented ginger sauce, is deceptively simple and deeply satisfying, while the Naem Khao — crispy rice salad tossed with fermented sour pork, peanuts, lime, and chilies — is one of the most textured and flavor-layered dishes in the city. The casual, music-forward atmosphere and natural wine list make it feel like a dinner party rather than a restaurant. Order the fried chicken and sticky rice alongside whatever looks most unfamiliar on the menu.
