Oohh that squid dish is a play on steamed fish with lime, garlic, and herbs.
Is the smoked chile for the prik nam pla standard?
That’s different.
By the looks of it Holy Basil could easily make a Thai seafood restaurant like Fish Cheeks in NYC.

Crab curry was the highlight for me, hoi tod (fried mussels) were also real nice. I think I was getting pretty full/palette fatigue by the time the fried fish and rice came out, because it didn’t hit as hard as I think it did for some other folks. Also didn’t have the wok hei that the pad see ew did. That’s just nitpicking though, not a dud in the meal except that I’m not a fan of bitter melon (which didn’t detract from the rest of the dish).

I just provided them with my home crop of finger limes and makrut limes… maybe they’ll show up on menu somewhere

Had another outstanding dinner at the Yum seafood pop up (Friday and Saturday only). We had a large group so we fired all the seafood options x 2 and supplemented with the usual standby’s and new items on the Ala Carte menu .
we were gifted a tray of Hokkaido uni and so we brought it along and ask chef to use it where he thought it would best and he obliged.
oyster salad, such a unique flavorful bite and interesting even without the uni
Salmon crudo, really nice love fish sauce with fish
outstanding naked shrimp/aguachile, love the pickled garlic too. Reminded us of Sinaloan style such as Marisco Chente/conis seafood/underground 106
Beef tataki, fun play on classic nam tok
barramundi fried to perfection with tamarind sauce
Done well but this felt a little safe. Missing the nem sausage as they are trying to keep this vegetarian?
Not pictured was the curry salt spring mussels, it was another that I fortunately had a loaf of sourdough to sop up the curry.
All in all, stand by what we said before, most exciting and outstanding Thai food in LA. Tons of food, 3 bottles of wine, everyone out the door for $80 pp. So grab at bunch of friends and go nuts.

Love it so happy for them. They seem to have a lot of trouble with Atwater and their current location. So hoping that this positive press brings them more business so they can push through.

I had this a week or two ago. Thought it was really good, tho as someone without the nostalgia factor attached I’d say it’s maybe a little subtle next to the rest of the super pungent and intense menu. Would speak a little louder on its own, I think, or also a good canvas for their sauces.
