Night Market Sahm
If you're in the Venice area and craving an authentic taste of Thailand, look no further than Night Market Sahm, a vibrant Thai restaurant that perfectly captures the spirit of Thai street food amidst the sunny, laid-back ambiance of California's coastline. Located at 2533 Lincoln Blvd, this gem invites you to immerse yourself in a dining experience that’s as much about the lively atmosphere as it is about the explosive flavors.
Night Market Sahm truly shines with its carefully curated menu, featuring standout dishes that will satisfy any palate. Start your culinary journey with the Peek Gai Heyha “Party Wings,” which arrive saucy and bursting with a sweet yet slightly salty flavor profile, making them an irresistible shareable item for you and your friends at $14. For something hearty yet unique, don’t miss the Panang en Neua, a hanger steak panang curry served with roti bread for $18 that showcases tender meat enveloped in a creamy, nut-infused sauce. For those who prefer a vegetarian option, the Sweet Potato Massaman offers crispy yam and sweet potato nestled in a flavorful curry broth, topped with toasted coconut shards for just $17.
Noodles aficionados will love their take on classics. The Pad Thai Market (also $16), dressed with fresh sprouts, pressed tofu, and crushed peanuts, allows you to customize your protein while delivering a delightful mix of textures and tastes. Meanwhile, the Pad See Ew is a must-try — with rice noodles caramelized to perfection with Chinese broccoli, it’s a beautiful marriage of smoky and sweet that is sure to become a new favorite.
The dining atmosphere is equally noteworthy, described by patrons as laid-back and eccentric, a true reflection of the Venice lifestyle. Customers have appreciated the vibrant design and fun decor, adding to the overall experience. You’ll feel the energy as the lively punk rock music vibrates in the background, creating an upbeat dining environment. However, the ambiance might not be for everyone, with some guests finding the music a bit overwhelming at times. Overall, expect a friendly and welcoming vibe that encourages community and connection.
Though the restaurant can get quite busy, the quick service and warm hospitality from staff — as mentioned by many repeat customers — ensure that your experience remains top-notch. With a few reviewers specifically praising the recommendations from the waitstaff, it's clear that the knowledgeable team is eager to help you navigate the bold flavors and exciting options on the menu.
In summary, Night Market Sahm isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a celebration of live flavors, culture, and connection.
