Thai BBQ from the Holy Basil team offering both $23 combo plates and a rotating 6-course tasting menu finished over live fire at an 8-seat counter inside Maydan Market.
Notable Picks
8.1
Thai BBQ built around a live-fire counter where Chef Deau—a 2024 Food & Wine Best New Chef—chars pork collar, duck, and sour sausage over charcoal, then finishes a six-course tasting menu for $65 at just eight seats inside Maydan Market. The $23 combo plates at the fast-casual counter deliver the same grilling technique and house-fermented condiments without the reservation, making this a food hall stall that punches well above its format.
Must-Try Dishes:
Salmon Creek Pork Collar, Khao Soi with Smoked Noodles, Thai Anchovy Tartine
What Makes it Special: Thai BBQ from the Holy Basil team offering both $23 combo plates and a rotating 6-course tasting menu finished over live fire at an 8-seat counter inside Maydan Market.
Worthy Picks
7.9
Seven kitchen stalls orbit a shared wood-fired hearth inside a cavernous West Adams food hall, backed by the Michelin-starred Maydan team out of D.C. The format rewards groups who want to split up, order from different counters, and reconvene around dishes that lean heavily on live-fire technique—clay-oven breads, wood-grilled proteins, charred vegetables. Expect a loud, high-energy room that functions more like a communal feast than a quiet dinner.
Must-Try Dishes:
Fenugreek-Rubbed Ribeye, Branzino with Spicy Chili Sauce, Clay Oven Pita Bread
What Makes it Special: Seven kitchen concepts share one central wood-fired hearth, anchored by the Michelin-recognized Maydan restaurant out of Washington D.C.
