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.

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.

It's a vibe. The place is really nice. You have to order everything from the beginning so you can share. I only wish they had more drinking options because they only have wine and one kind of beer. The wings are bomb but I had better pad Thai. You definitely go to this place for the vibe not for the food.

Just dined at Venice location for 1st time despite living in the ‘hood for several years now. Had dined earlier at Westside location during pandemic & enjoyed the food. John, Zoe, Colleen & Bailey are the reasons for the 5-star scores for food & service. One less star for atmosphere because the usual energetic punk rock music was on the verge of inducing a migraine flare for me. But exemplary staff graciously responded to my request to silence the music! Food was tasty but at times a tad too salty ( concern for hubby who needs to watch his bp). Despite generally avoiding Thai food due to bad food poisoning memory from a local restaurant when he was a college kid, he’s willing to come back and dine here! Praise be, because the rest of the family enjoys delicious Thai fare! Hubby’s favorite was the blistered green beans with garlic chili sauce! I enjoyed all the dishes we ordered veg larb, garlic green beans, creamy & refreshingly tart chicken soup ( khao soi gai),pork toro ( belly) with jaew sauce, and especially enjoyed the sweet pickled radish bits flavoring the yummy tofu pad Thai! We will happily return with Thai- food loving son in tow!

The food was actually pretty authentic. Was pretty surprised by how spicy it was from just medium. Portion was definitely way too generous!

This place is really busy but was seated immediately. The food is very very spicy and fresh!!! That did it for me. The waitress was awesome and made suggestions to whatever I was trying to order. What I liked about is that they can tell the newcomers from the regulars. I was definitely a first-time customer and their suggestions were spot on for food and drinks. Be prepared to wear your stretchy pants because you will be taking food home. The average price is around about $20 or so for each dish, some little bit less and some about couple dollars more.They give you your money's worth. I will definitely be coming back to try the other dishes on the menu. Stop by and be ready for an awesome spicy adventure!

Ordered Panang curry and pad Thai - good spice levels, tender beef, soft chicken. Feel like the curry should come with rice.

Really laid back and eccentric Thai spot in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles. The hostess was very nice and quick to get us seated. The interior is fun and stylish. The ordering still is family so make sure you get everything ready to order at once. The wine selection is killer. The food was out of this world. So much flavor packed into typical Thai dishes. By far the best Thai I’ve had. I couldn’t put the lamb larb down. The short rib beef panang was to die for. The mango stick rice was the perfect finish. Bring some friends, order too much food, get a bottle of wine or two, and have a great time.

We had a very enjoyable dinner here. Wanted to branch out from our usual thai. We got Panang curry, pad see ew with chicken, and the garlic green beans. Everything was yummy and delicious. We started off with sticky rice, but moved to the jasmine as the sticky rice was very hard and dense. We couldn't even cut it with a fork. We’re guessing they make it ahead of time and just let it sit out. I would not recommend. The beef in the Panang were small tender bites and perfect. The roti served alongside, while appreciated, was waaaay too greasy. Great list of natural wines and excellent service. Food came out fast and hot. Will go back and try something else as I missed their larb.
