Lom Wong Thai Restaurant
Lom Wong
A regional Thai restaurant in the Roosevelt Row district. Chef Yotaka Martin won the 2025 James Beard Award and earned a 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand.
Alex and Yotaka “Sunny” Martin started out as a pop-up before opening this restaurant, which serves the spicy regional dishes of Thailand that are rarely found at U.S. Thai restaurants, shared family-style. They stick to traditional methods: curry pastes are hand-pounded and coconut milk is freshly pressed. The menu changes often. Ask for the Arai Kodai and the kitchen will build a meal to your taste. Popular dishes include raw scallops, crispy rice ball salad with fermented pork sausage, and red curry with beef shank and tendon. For dessert, try the fish sauce caramel banana split. Dinner only. Closed Monday and Tuesday. Reservations are recommended. Located in the Roosevelt Row arts district, a short walk from the Roosevelt/Central light rail station.
Opening hours
Wed–Thu 5–10 PM; Fri–Sat 5–11 PM; Sun 5–9:30 PM; closed Mon–Tue
