Bustling, brightly decorated stop for modern twists on traditional Thai fare with beer.

They serve big portions. Food tastes super authentic. Priced reasonably. Highly recommend. Loud environment just like Thailand. Incredible experience!

Night + Market Sahm hit me with Thai food so good I’m pretty sure it rewired my DNA. I sat down all confident, ready to take photos like a responsible foodie, then the sweet potato massaman landed and I instantly transformed into a fork-wielding raccoon. Two pics, no dignity, just pure curry-powered chaos.
The Pad Thai tasted like the noodle gods finally forgave me for every bad takeout order I’ve ever made. Every dish was a slam dunk.
Music was stupid loud, but if you’re gonna drown in noise, Dire Straits is the way to go. I thought Mark Knopfler himself was about to stroll out and ask if we wanted our MTV. But honestly, great tunes, great chaos, absolute 5 stars.

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.

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!

Every visit to Sham is such a treat! The food is consistently delicious, and we always enjoy the lively vibe and warm service. The (seasonal but hopefully permanent) shrimp laab is absolutely crave-worthy, though honestly, everything on the menu impresses.
Gabby has been a fantastic host on all our visits, and we always trust her recommendations.
The only downside is the parking, which can be a nightmare, so reservations in advance are a must, especially on weekends. It can get super noisy during rush hours too, though that’s not necessarily a bad thing since the atmosphere is always so lively.

This is a good restaurant. We felt that the 5 different dishes we ordered were a little too salty. They can definitely reduce salt. Quantities were good. Music was too loud and I couldn’t even hear the person across from me. Hope they improve.

Horrible service… they forgot to put my Thai tea in my take out order. Then, when I asked it they gave the tea in a soup bag. They didn’t even apologize for it, pretended as if it is normal. When I asked them about the normal cup they said we ran out of cups without apologizing. Here the service team is really mean and acts so entitled and impatient 🙁

It was too cold where we sat on the left side of the room. The food was good but the service wasn’t. We got the impression they wanted us in and out as quickly as possible, and we were inconveniecing them.

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.
