Lom Wong celebrates the diverse people and cultures of Thailand by cooking the types of food that one would find in villages and small towns across the different regions of the country. Additionally, we tell the stories of the amazing people who honored us teaching us their recipes. Our goal is to show another side of the cuisines of Thailand by being true to ingredients, techniques, and flavors. We hand-pound our curry paste, hand-squeeze coconut milk, and are sincere to the flavors Thailand. Additionally, we offer a fantastic natural wine list and cocktails that showcase unique Thai ingredients.

Lom Wong is run by Yotaka and Alex Martin.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Thailand-born Yotaka Martin and her husband Alex showcase hyper-regional flavors of Yotaka's home country at this modern restaurant that was named a 2023 Best New Restaurant by Esquire. Named 2025 semifinalists for the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Southwest, the Martins shy away from Americanized dishes like pad Thai, instead serving dishes like boo pad pong garee (stir-fried crab in a turmeric-rich curry) and naem khao tawt (crispy rice with cured pork sausage). Natural wines and tropical cocktails round out the transportive experience.

Experiences

  • Arai Kodai

    Multiple dates available
    “Arai Kodai” roughly translates to “I’m down for whatever” and pays homage to the roots of our concept where we would host multi-course dinner parties in our living room without telling people what the menu would be. It’s a wonderful opportunity to explore the cuisines of Thailand with us. These days we are able to customize the experience a bit, so if there is a dish you know you must have, or are allergic to something, we can cater to your party so you have the best possible experience! For parties of 5 and above, a large party gratuity of 22% will be added to the bill.

    Delicious! Not anything like we normally experienced with Thai restaurants. They take into consideration your "heat" tolerance without compromising the taste. We'll be back.

    Everything is so well done and unexpected. The flavors of each dish burst onto the scene. We opted for the chef’s menu and one of our group was gluten free and we also asked for nothing that was fried. They easily accommodated our dietary needs while delivering a fantastic selection of dishes. Staff is knowledgeable and attentive and there’s just a real sense of commitment to authenticity to the food and its origins. Love the old brick building that it’s in.
