Esquire | Best New Restaurants 2023

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.
Standard- A la carte menu
Multiple dates available
Order from the Lom Wong Menu. For Parties of 1-4 people. You can always change your mind later and enjoy the Arai Kodai Experience. For parties of 5 or more, you are required to choose our Arai Kodai experience.

Fantastic meal, one of the best we’ve had this year. The family style service worked well, things came out quickly and service was great as they came around 2-3 times to check on us. Crab curry dish stole the show, but again everything was fantastic. Definitely coming back to try dishes we didn’t this time around.

What a wonderful evening! Our server worked with the kitchen to customize a menu for our entire group. And we’re not special - they offer this for every guest, and it greatly elevated the dining into a full learning experience. The service was as phenomenal as the cuisine. Mixology program is on-point. We’ll be back!

Great food. A little far for us to travel, but if we are taking anyone to the airport or picking them up we would consider going. But the food was excellent.

I have been twice and loved every moment. I wish more Thai restaurants could deliver at half this level. I had the banana split on this visit, and it was transcendent. And I am not even a dessert person

A table of eight very loud customers should not be in the very center of the room. when they’re in the very center of the room as they were, last night, so loud you couldn’t hear yourself communicate with the person next to you other than that, food was fantastic. Place was great, but please adjust your seating arrangements. place the larger tables against one wall so that everyone else sitting outside the conversation between the 8 of them might have a chance to communicate. The food was fantastic. Staff was great just try to do something about the largest table in your outside area being in the very center of the room.
