Holy Basil

Holy Basil is a Thai restaurant at 718 S Los Angeles St in downtown Los Angeles, celebrated for its habit-forming Bangkok street-style stir-fry and bold, umami-packed flavors. The Infatuation LA called their drunken noodles fork-dropping good, while the New York Times praised their red chile and herb seasonings as deserving of every bit of care they receive. Guests rave about the crispy pork kra pow, with its perfectly cooked, crunchy-yet-tender skin, and the tom yum shrimp is frequently called the best in LA. The restaurant suits solo outings and group hangouts alike, with outdoor seating and happy hour specials adding to the appeal.
