Farmhouse Kitchen

Walking into Farmhouse Kitchen feels like stepping onto a stage set for a fever dream brunch party. A life-sized horse sculpture draped in a hot pink feather boa greets you at the door, while neon-drenched walls covered in flowers and crystal chandeliers create a visual spectacle that’s equal parts ridiculous and absolutely stunning. This West Adams outpost of the beloved Bay Area original brings the same maximalist energy to LA, proving that Thai food can be as visually arresting as it is delicious.

The kitchen delivers bold, inventive takes on Thai classics that justify all the Instagram moments happening around you. The hat yai fried chicken is the dish everyone will be talking about afterward—coconut milk-marinated, double-fried to shatter-crisp perfection, served alongside roti, yellow curry, and eye-catching blue sticky rice. For groups, the Lao Table Set offers a greatest-hits tour of the menu, while the panang neua presents a Flintstones-worthy braised short rib swimming in velvety curry that demands to be shared.

This is the kind of place built for celebrations and big nights out with friends. The cocktails arrive in LED-lit cups and tiki mugs, the music pulses with energy, and the whole atmosphere practically begs you to stay for another round. Weeknights tend to accommodate walk-ins, but weekend dinners turn into full productions—reserve ahead if you want a seat at the party.

For anyone tired of hushed dining rooms and muted aesthetics, Farmhouse Kitchen offers a welcome antidote. Not every dish hits with the same impact as the decor—skip the volcano cup noodles and lobster pad thai—but the winners here are genuinely exciting. Come hungry, bring friends, and let yourself get swept up in the spectacle.
