Celebrated my wife’s birthday for lunch, & the out door seating is inviting & absolutely gorgeous to enjoy with a few good drinks even if you’re not in the mood for food.The drinks are fun & pretty if you’re into that.The food is flavorful & also fun if you order the magic noodles! It’s definitely a little pricey, but it’s a fun experience & in our opinion worth it to eat art that just explodes with flavor in your mouth.Staff was welcoming & kind.We will return & continue to recommend for fun & delicious Thai food!!!

I came to Queen Violet for a nice dinner with my partner and parents and was quite surprised to find such an amazing Thai place. The atmosphere was quite welcoming and nice on a summer day as the decorations has a “fairy-like” vibe to them with flowers and plants surrounding the place. The outside patio was perfect for a summer evening and the food was quite fantastic. I has the crab fried rice, which I highly recommend. The violet lemonade was really refreshing too and the appetizer of won tons were also great. Keep in mind the food isn’t “traditional” Thai but Thai with a unique twist on it. Seems like a great date spot or possible brunch spot. Will be back again soon!

I visited Queen Violet for the first time. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, but the highlight was the menu that featured many interesting dishes. Everything I tasted was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. The team that works here pays great attention to detail, and it shows. I recommend sitting at the outdoor tables for dinner while enjoying this beautiful weather.unfortunately, I cant say the same for the service, I was disappointed to ask for a spoon for my soup, and it came when my soup was cold. Overall, I had a great experience and may come back again to try other dishes. I do recommend!

The place was fun. The food was fun.My favorite was the crispy pork and magic noodles with shrimps. The violet lemonade was delicious not too sweet. I was afraid it was going to be but it wasnt. The service was slow took a while to get something and other things were forgotten.Fav food: magic noodles, crispy porkSo so: scallion pancakes, pho burrito, Violet pancakes and the chicken wings which were served cold because I think they forgot to bring them out.Having said all that, I will try the restaurant again. To see if it was just an off day.

The food was very average and bland. I mean I asked for extra seasoning and even after that it was average. The hype for this place is not even worth it. The decor is good and very good photo op! That’s about it! They also add 20% tips on your bill automatically. My food had hair in it and I returned it. That was literally my experience here, do not recommend. Street parking available, not sure if they validate. They had a big selection of drinks but I just had a Thai beer.

Sorry Tiktok, but I can’t say it was worth the price. The panckaes was abysmally bland (purple food coloring not ube or lavender etc), the violet lemonade too. ($42) There were large of groups of women getting day drunk on mimosas. They seemed to be having a great time. But between the endless wait times, and subpar food, it honestly wasn’t the best experience. The pictures weren’t even worth it. Also they apply automatic 20% then ask if you’d like to leave an additional tip. We hardly saw our server. 😭 if you were a 4 star restaurant I could understand, but this place tasted about as good as Denny’s. Do yourself a favor and skip it!

Really great restaurant in WeHo. We went there for brunch on a Sunday. The restaurant was almost full, very vibrant atmosphere and beautiful decoration. The service is very good. Very warm reception, not wait to get a table, and food came rather quickly. The food is a bit pricey but the dishes are delicious. We got pork belly guacamole as starter and chicken satay burger and pad tai as main. Everything delicious. Pork belly was my favorite. I love their sour source that comes with it. Drinks were violet lemonade and Thai iced tea. Both very good. The pad tai and Thai tea are a bit on the sweet side. Overall, a great experience!

I was extremely disappointed by the quality of food at this place. The most bland and boring food I’ve ever had at a restaurant at these prices. We ordered the magic noodles which was entirely a gimmick (good fun to see the color change) but all you can taste was intense lime vinaigrette. Also it was measly amount of noodles, the bottom of the bowl was just a basic lettuce salad and only 4 prawns. We also ordered the hidden gem prawn curry which was the absolute pinnacle of disappointment. 6 prawns shoved into a coconut with watery scrambled eggs. I don’t know what kind of culinary school the chef attended, but scrambled eggs, prawns and coconut doesn’t work together in a curry! The taste was bizarre and bland at the same time. I can safely say I have made better asian food using store bought bottled sauces. Additionally, an automatic 16 to 20% service charge is added to your bill and it doesn’t even go entirely to the kitchen & wait staff. Worst $72 spent on 2 tiny main dishes. I don’t really care if it was all a overpriced gimmick 1 trick pony but at least try to make it taste decent. Just highly disappointed with the price to quality ratio.

Love this place. I got the queen violet drink which is a purple mimosa. And the avocado toast. My husband got the crispy French toast. Both were excellent.

What a treasure! I believe this location will become well-known soon.Their food is both delicious and unique to me. For example, the mussel curry with sour dough, a combination of sweet, spicy, and creamy; I had no idea sour dough could go so well with curry. This will definitely become a favorite dish! Another amazing dish is Season Change Salad. Im not sure why they call it that until you try it; once you put the salad dressing on the noodle, the glass noodles color changes! And the flavor is fantastic. I cant wait to bring more friends there to hang out!

Magic Noodles are the way to go!Delish!My initial reaction was “beautiful plate; instagram worthy” and was doubting the flavor.Until I took the first bite!!!Absolutely delicious!The perfect balance of lime sour and garlic spice! (I ordered it spicy).The giant shrimp and veggies all tasted fresh.

We tried their popular items like the magic noodles, filet mignon ponzu, wok fried rice, hawaiian fried rice, cigar rolls were okay, tempura mushrooms, the wings, orange chicken, so bomb, and the beef rib pho. Honestly, the food is definitely about the hype, it was so good most dishes are shareable. The popular drinks were okay, sake bomb was better lol. Service was great very friendly and so worth trying out, I reccomend!

The food at Queen Violet delish! I had the filet mignon. I went with my two other friends. They ordered spicy tofu and magic noodles with Shrimp. The decor and ambience was so perfect so nice. I really enjoyed my meal. We also ordered drinks. I recommend tipsy queen. Its delicious. I parked up the way had to walk but it was only 1to 2 min walk. So just know parking can get hectic. Definitely recommend for a nice brunch. Not to pricey for the quality of food.

Super charming restaurant, great selection of food. I enjoyed my Orange Tofu and the Crispy Brussels Sprouts. I was there for my sisters surprise birthday. My brother in law ordered some appetizers that were yummy as well: the guacamole, the Crispy Ravioli Wonton, Five Spice Fried Chicken Wings.

The flavor is absolutely on spot. Presentation is beautiful. Nice and cozy indoor seating. Service is great. Price can be a bit high due to the location. But in general a great place to eat and take photos.

Such a lovely concept. Delicious food. Great service. Just be sure to arrive early to grab a table inside, if its a cold & rainy day. Drinks are on the lighter side, could be stronger; but, if youre going for brunch then perhaps thats their take on brunch beverages. Staff very accommodating, ensuring our warmth and comfortability with their outside space heater.

Locally-owned Thai restaurant with an interesting array of authentic Thai meal options. Flavorful food, prompt and friendly service, and reasonable prices. Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the building, as well as paid street parking on Santa Monica Blvd and free street parking on West Knoll Drive behind the building (until 7 PM).

You have to admit the entrance is super cute.The outdoor patio setting is cute but some improvements can be made so that it looks more organized and chic.The inside is cozy too but the decorations don’t align with the entrance so that was a bit disappointing. I love all of the wall art though!They don’t have a full bar, so only wine and beer.They food is very delicious.I ordered the coconut soup with chicken and I LOVE IT. And I had the Octopus Si Salad. I was expecting a bit more octopus and less corn but it’s acceptable and it’s yummy.My friend got two appetizers and they are very delicious too.Parking is hard so be prepared, mentally lolThey are available on OpenTable if you want to make a reservation.

Very happy with this new local hidden gem. The staff were very friendly and the food was very authentic. Make sure to sit outside in the little courtyard with the cute flowers. I would recommend getting a few appetizers, a nice glass of wine and then a main course like the red curry, fillet mignon or the Pad Thai.

Had a spontaneous Valentines dinner @ Queen violet weho and overall, it was great! The ambiance was very romantic with just enough room between couples so you have privacy.We had a 3 course meal under the moonlight surrounded by flowers with soothing music. If I had to give one negative it would be about the grilled octopus. It was cooked well but still had a fishy taste to it if that makes sense. My favorite however was the coconut soup, brussel sprouts and Mongolian flank steak. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for lovers, couples or friends. We will definitely visit again.

Breath taking outdoor seating. Before walking in you know right away this is a place to share w/family, friends and the cute man you just met for a first date. Waiters and waitresses were accommodating and will seat you where comfortable and if space is available. Starting with appetizers tuna tarter is citrusy perfect for the summer heat. (Mini)Tacos are a must try. Kung pao chicken and Orange chicken both entries come with a your choice of Brown or white rice. My favorite is orange chicken, each piece was covered in a delicious glaze of the sauce. Portions are large and there is plenty to share or take home.

Cute spotI recommend this place for take pics, nice light in the afternoon, beautiful flowers and cosy look in the garden. Haven’t checked indoor area.I got the healthiest lunch which is grilled lamb chops and trios quinoa salad (on pic). Pure taste of fresh food, less seasoning and with sauce on a sideI’m surprised it wasn’t crowded at all (before 5pm)As people mentioned host is slow and keeps disappearing, so you better seat by yourself, but food came fast, and the rest of serving was quick as well.

My parents went to this place and raved about how great the food was. I finally went with them today and was utterly disappointed. The leftover kung pao chicken and coconut chicken soup they brought home was great, but it seems the quality of the food tanked after they gained popularity. I tried some of my fathers kung pao and was immediately hit with an uncanny, fishy taste. My flank steak with broccoli was a big letdown as well. The broth or soup it was served in kept everything piping hot while simultaneously being practically flavorless. My mothers chicken fried rice barely tasted like anything other than eggs. The truffle mushrooms just tasted like soggy mushrooms coated in a mediocre breading with a side of watered down sweet and sour sauce. The brussel sprouts seemed promising, but unfortunately (or rather, expectedly) they were just bitter with a odd hint of sweetness. The staff were an entirely different story altogether. I understand the stress behind being understaffed, but come on. We were seated and had to wait a good 15 minutes before being given our menus- pardon, I meant being given our one singular menu to share. After eating the disappointing food, we noticed all other patrons being given an appropriate amount of menus per guest. Every table was also getting glasses on water with lemon wedges lovingly placed in each one. Not sure what we did to be treated so differently, but whatever. The atmosphere isnt anything to write home about either, the tiny tables crammed into every available space eliminates any semblance of privacy and just feels crowded.In short, youd be better off going somewhere else. Hell, I heavily considered just going to the Shake Shack across the street.

The shrimp in my soap tasted bad…few hours later I started vomiting and had diarrhea too. Before this meal my last meal was 17 hours earlier so I know exactly when and when I got food poisoning.Also, the serve just brought the credit card slip for my signature. I noticed the charge is high and asked for details, she had charged already $10 (20%) for service for two people without my permission. When she brought the credit card slip she didn’t say I already charged a tip…she was trying to pull one over me. I hate sneaky and chit people like her. Never going back. I like to deal with honest people.

What a cute spot with great Thai Food options. Free parking, right next to the location.Ambiance is romantic, and cute. Good for friends to hang out or a first date. Portions are smaller, but tasty. The dessert was also scrumptious. Give it a try!

I went there for a birthday celebration dinner. The food was fantastic! The staff was friendly and accommodating. We had someone in our party who was cold on the patio and we were quickly moved inside. Beautiful atmosphere and delicious food.

A chance dinner turned into something delightful. A great hostess! Slow service got better when more staff came on duty. All were still very sweet. Seems like a strategic decision to save costs when less busy. Drinks were very weak, small, and expensive. Loved the tower presentation of cocktails at other tables. Food was really terrific! Nice to explore new tastes.Surprised by the standard 16% tip for parties of all sizes. It was not pointed out to us so Im glad I read the bill. Still a nice treat on a Saturday evening.

Wow wow wow! One of my favorite new spots in the city. We sat in the garden, which is heated and lovely. I went with a group of girls and we all shared. I highly recommend the chicken wings, the crab fried rice (with a side of drunken sauce), and the holy basil! I got the queen violet to drink and highly recommend, as well! The staff is super kind and attentive!

Just walking by and stopped in for a light dinner and boy am I glad we did. The octopus was outstanding- accompanied by a delicious corn salad and arugula with the best dressing I have ever experienced. Then lamb chops that was like eating grilled foie gras and literally melted in my mouth. Can’t wait to go back to experience their Sunday brunch.

My daughter picked this place. Supporting the community we decided to give it a shot. Our waiter was very nice, engaging and had suttle recommendations which we liked. No hard liquor tho. Drinks were creative concoctions that were attractive to the females but we just wanted a stiff drink! Moving to the food... no complaints! All was tasty from the noodles to the Kung pao chicken. Need to have soy sauce available tho!

We came at a busy time. The staff was extremely friendly but forgot to bring us food we ordered and other things we asked for (sugar for coffee).Some of the food was good (French toast), some of the food was just okay, but the pancake was an absolute disaster. The pancake was hard and dry, you could feel it dragging on your throat the entire way down. Looking around as we left, it was noted many pancakes we left barely touched on other guests plates. The coffee was not great, was not served with enough (or any) cream/sugar, and overpriced. Also to note, they had little bugs flying around even inside. Bugs may be inevitable to a degree but it was annoying.All in all, overpriced for what we got.

Im writing this review solely to warn you that they add a 20% surcharge to your bill which is NOT listed anywhere on their website or menu. Fortunately they took it off when I told the waiter that that was the money I had set aside for their tip. I wound up spending the same amount, but at least my 20% went to the waiter and not the restaurant.

They did a good job of presenting themselves as a nice place, we showed up and were shocked at how bad it looks but food at the end of the day is what matters. Food was ok, pricey for the type of place it is. Would I come back, only if there were no other options

We were in Los Angeles for my fathers funeral and made a same-day family dinner reservation for Queen Violet WeHo. When we called five hours before the reservation to cancel because a member of the party tested positive for COVID, they refused to refund the $100 reservation fee. The manager did not care about our family at all, and would not even speak to me about the situation. Never mind that the whole family is in mourning. This customer service is shockingly bad, and I do not recommend patronizing this business. Clearly they care more about profits than about their customers.

Ive only been there twice and I already know that this is going to be a spot I return to for a very long time. The staff is charming, helpful, and so nice. The food is on the pricier side, but your dollar really goes a long way. In terms of taste. I had the fish chowder and it was one of the best coconut broths that I have ever had, and I fear that I will never taste something like that again. Halfway through the dish I had to stop eating and relish in the absolute divine taste of the perfectly cooked, buttery fish combined with mushrooms, spinach, and delicately flavored coconut broth. The server even suggested I get rice on the side to fill out the rest of the dish, and she was right. It was the perfect portion of fish, broth, and rice. Every bite required that I be present in the moment, the meal was never unconscious.

I feel like this is a fake restaurant, like a converted movie set. The front of house staff has no idea whats going on -- waiters are wandering around aimlessly and the hostess is spread way too thin. It took half an hour for a waiter to even take our drink orders. The cocktails are all obscenely sweet like youre on a tacky cruise ship, the noodles are mush and the meat dishes were all overcooked. The staff here is clearly not supported by their management, if this place even has managers.But hey, its got a pretty terrace. Pretty much the only thing this place has going for it.

About 8 people went for a birthday dinner. Great food and cute decor! I love the garden feel. I had the Magic Noodles... Would definitely recommend. Tried my friends Pad Thai and it was amazing!!! Im for sure getting that next time I get around there! Everyone enjoyed their food. Drinks were cool. I had the thing with the popsicle in it. It was tasty; however, I prefer hard liquor, which they did not serve (sweet drinks make my stomach hurt). Overall a great experience and want to go back.

Made a last minute reservation for dinner on the patio on a Saturday evening while visiting from our of town. The patio is lovely, with lights, heat lamps, draped plants, and umbrellas. We ordered lamb chops as an appetizer and then did the Mongolian Flank Steak and Octopus Salad for mains. The food was excellent and came really quickly. The flank steak was especially good. Everyone who worked here was very nice, and everything including the bathroom was clean. The patio filled up by 9pm, so it seems like its no longer a hidden gem. Would definitely come back!

The restaurant has a warm and intimate ambiance.The food was very subpar for the price - Expected flavorful dishes but was met with bland, just okay fare. Weve had better pineapple fried rice and pad thai delivered to our doorstep.Service was disorganized and absolutely dreadful. Our waiter was rude off the bat - After taking our order, he seemingly vanished for the remainder of the evening.All in all, it was nice to try but we wont be back.

OMG. The food is delicious but my goodness how can you justify their policy on limited time to dine in if THE FOOD TAKES A VERY LONG TIME to be served. Case in point: We ordered 5 dishes on the menu plus 2 desserts and the average wait time for each dish IN-BETWEEN is 20 minutes. So how can you manage to eat comfortably? Also, prepare for an exorbitant service charge of 18% even if you dine in alone!

Absolutely horrible service. I went into Queen violets around 130. Kudos to the host who was very kind and sat us very quickly. Unfortunately, this doesn’t make up for the horrible service I received from the server. It took about 15 mins before we were greeted. By this point my partner and I were ready to order our drinks and entree. We ordered bottomless mimosas. It’s was past 2pm when our entrees came out. The issue with this is, we have yet to even receive our drinks. All the servers in the restaurant were hustling. Not Kathy, she was hanging out with the table beside us, ignoring my partner and I. She even sang them happy birthday before making sure we had our drinks. On top of that, we were sat outside between a wall and a pillar. Our server continued to push through the tiny space slamming into me and the table while bringing her other table food and drinks. Talk about throwing salt in the wound. I had asked the gentleman who brought out the entrees to cancel our mimosa order. When my partner and I were finished with our meals, that’s when our server came out with 1 mimosa and said “you only ordered 1 mimosa, right?” Not only was she oblivious but to bring what should have been our first round of cocktails at the end of our meal is pure disrespect. I asked for a manager and the manager ever came out. When I received my check I realized there was a 16% “service charge”. I’ve worked in the industry for years, I’ve never tipped less than 20% but to know now that Im FORCED to tip this woman who did absolutely nothing is insane!

First time here and was surprisingly disappointed. Im not sure what went on today, but I did not enjoy my experience here. Beautiful venue, great for pictures and creates a good vibe. Apart from that, the food was okay, I expected more from the Pad Thai since it seemed popular. The garlic noodles were also very sub par, again Im not sure if this is a normal occurrence for the restaurant.Service today was dreadful. We asked about splitting the check individually before we ordered and were told yes, only for us to find out 3 hours later once we asked for boxes that we could only split it with 3 cards (which is how we paid). If the waiter was mistaken, why didnt they inform us when they found out? Why wait till we are given the check and not inform us of the mistake? We would not have minded if we couldnt split the check, but since we were told we could, we didnt question further. We spent an extra half hour splitting the checks because the waiter grouped similar items together and not by customer.Adding to this, half the tables food came out about 45 minutes after ordering while the rest of the table waited a total of 2 hours! We were never updated that our food was going to be late, and there was no apology for the wait time. Communication from the service was just non-existent tonight.Whether this was an off night for the restaurant or low staffing issues, I will not be back.

Charming garden. Pad Thai was one of the best Ive had in a long time (but not cheap, so thats probably why). I was not impressed with the noodles that change color. Fun, but skimpy portion and good but not great in taste.

Queen Violet has a wonderful atmosphere and great food. Unfortunately, the management leaves the restaurant woefully understaffed. As a consequence, the service is annoyingly slow (it took over 30 minutes for us to receive our drinks, and another 30 just for the appetizer to come out!). Not only is this inconvenient for patrons, but it puts an unfair burden on the small staff they do have. The staff is lovely, and are clearly trying their best; but theres no question they deserve far better treatment from management than theyre currently receiving.

I came here for the happy hour at ~5 pm. There was only one other table. After 15 minutes of unattended sitting we left 🤷🏻‍♀️ Look, if you do have a happy hour please tell us and give us a happy hour menu. It’s awkward to ask for it as if we are trying to get an unwarranted discount. The point of happy hour is attracting customers during a low traffic time period. We could easily have had a couple of drinks. I’d like to try new places in WeHo but every time I do I remember to stick to my old favorites.

Very disappointed. 1 person sitting, taking orders and bringing food out. Took forever. Never checked on us. Had to find him to get check. When he brought the check he confirmed my cold, hard waffle was a pre-made waffle. The chicken and waffle plate is not freshly made. Outside sitting area is super cute.

What we ordered:Short rib tacos 4/10Cheese wontons 1/10 seriously seem like they just warm them up from the freezer and they definitely were not what we were expecting which was our typical cream cheese wontons these were just looking like little pizza tots.champagne with butterfly blue 5/10Kung pao chicken. 7/10Steak 8/10Dessert- banana s’mores 9/10I really felt like the entire place was incredibly over priced and I probably wouldn’t come back

Loved this place!! Food was great - we got the Mushroom tempura and Tuna tartare apps and found ourselves even more in love with them - especially the tempura - than we expected! Pad Thai was great, Kung Pao chicken slapped, and the service staff was friendly, helpful and sweet. Cute spot!

We had a reservation for dinner. We arrived a few minutes early, and waited at the entrance to be seated, as the sign indicated. There was not a single staff member in sight, and after 10 minutes of waiting, we decided to leave. We phoned Queen Violet to let them know that we would not be dining there and why, and their response left a lot to be desired. If you are looking for great food and exceptional customer service, Queen Violet is not the place. We instead had dinner at WeHo bistro, and couldn’t be happier with the service we received there.

Amazing service, great flavors and food. If you’re looking for a place that makes you feel at home while serving you exquisite dishes look no further. Tip: get the garlic truffle noodles. Amazing. Update: The cigars are not to be missed. Seriously, don’t miss them.

We had the Orange Chicken, Holy Basil, Kung Pao Chicken, Pad See Ew, Red Curry Chicken, and the Glass Noodles for dinner. Every single one of the dishes was a HIT. I loved each unique flavor and could not stop eating until everything on the table was finished to the sauce. I am stuffed and happy. The ambience is lovely too! It’s very cute and relaxing.

The pad thai is amazing! Perfect amount of spice. Im not a big fan of crab, however the crab fried rice was delicious. I also highly recommend the Tipsy Queen; it was the perfect drink for a hot summer night.

Way overpriced. Quality poor. Shrimp in the coconut soup did not appear, or taste fresh. Fried wonton $12 for six tiny wontons that were of quality you would get from the frozen section of a grocery store. Didnt bother ordering past appetizers.

Its a lovely restaurant with nice food (white neat chicken was bmvery moist) and great staff but the prices are really high and a simple dinner with one small soup, two entrees and one sake, tax and tip was about $80. I guess its because its in WeHo.

Very delicious! We ordered the, Coconut Chicken soup, the Sriracha Pasta and the Kung Pao Chicken. Very flavorful and would highly recommend! They recently opened the place and it’s truly a local gem. Their patio is really nice at night because they light it up.

My friend reserved several weeks ago for outdoor seating for a birthday celebration. She called 30 mins prior to our reservation to confirm and the female operator said she couldnt find our reservation and said we would have to sit indoors. I think the proper answer wouldve been, we will try to get you accommodated when you arrive, so we decided to go to another Al Fresca restaurant. They may need a new resy system. Hopefully, when that is worked out, we will be able to try your Yelp/Instagram inspired food. Kob Khun Ka!

Try this new spot! The food is so good and it’s in a great location on Santa Monica blvd. I tried the pho, muscle curry, and the Mongolian flank steak. Every single dish was EXCELLENT. This is the perfect place to have an amazing dinner before you go partying out in weHo.

Do not order pick up from here. Order wasn’t ready when I arrived, asked about it and the person disappeared for 10 minutes. Went inside, pretended like I was never there. Order finally comes out, get home, missing the most expensive item. Call the restaurant and they are dismissive and rude, telling me they never received that part of the order and it’s basically not their fault, despite charging me for it. Said they had to contact the website company to figure out what was wrong, never offered a refund or even to make the order. Seriously some of the rudest disregard for customers I’ve seen. I had high hopes for this place because we love going to small neighborhood restaurants.
