Phoenix New Times | Best Thai Restaurant 2023/2024


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.

    Wonderful experience! Sat indoors in a corner and ambience was great to enjoy catching up with friends. Food order is taken at once and does come out quickly. Excellent flavors and choices.

    Absolutely amazing and authentic Thai food, but elevated. The service was immaculate. Great descriptions of the food and drinks when we sat down. We ordered the something thunder drinks, where you choose your base alcohol and the bartender comes up with your drink, and they were excellent every time. Highly recommend the whole experience.

    We tried Lom because of the James Beard nomination. The food was good, but nothing exceptional. Service was fine but offputting. When we attempted to order, they insisted we order everything at once instead of courses. Then, halfway into the meal they said the table had a 2 hour limit (which was not part of the reservation) and then repeated it 15 mns later. We paid and left and discovered we still had 20 mins left in this supposed 2 hour limit. These two items caused them to lose more than $100 more revenue as we typically order 2 drinks and would have liked a 3rd main course but the pushiness was so off putting we settled with just dessert. We ordered the beef dish from the first group, and the whole branzino. The beef was no more special or any different flavor than a typical good Thai restaurant. The branzino presentation was nice and tasted good. Needed more of the sauce. But neither dish was particularly grate or memorable. The dessert was creme brulee (two flavors, a hibiscus and a lemongrass). The lemongrass creme brulee was most memorable item from the whole night. We wish them well and hope they are successful and congratulate the nomination but sadly won't return and won't recommend to others. I hate leaving a poor review but hope this honesty will help the owner make improvements as the concept is a wonderful one.

    We were impressed with the menu. Our server was very helpful and we enjoyed being welcomed. Also appreciated the menu selection and stories in support of the offerings. We plan to come back and try more selections from the menu. Thank you for making downtown Phoenix dining special. We also appreciate the staff recognition of our anniversary.

    I finally got a reservation at this restaurant and it was everything I expected. The staff is warm and welcoming, the vibe is chill and only moderately noisy. The food is OUTSTANDING. I loved the dishes from different regions because it gave us tastes of different flavor profiles and styles. Cocktails were good. Can't wait to go back.
