From northern Thai curry to southern Thai seafood, a new restaurant in downtown Phoenix promises a culinary tour of Thailand’s rich, regional cuisine.
Yotaka Promtun-Martin and her husband Alex Martin started Lom Wong in 2019 as an intimate dinner party in their home in Scottsdale and over the years it has evolved to become one of Phoenix’s most acclaimed pop-ups. Now the couple is preparing to showcase Yotaka’s family recipes at their first brick-and-mortar restaurant and cocktail bar.
Lom Wong will open in a bungalow on Roosevelt Row that previously housed fine-dining restaurant Character. Doors are scheduled to open in early March.

“Lom wong” translates roughly to gathering in a circle to eat. It is meant to evoke the warm feeling of cooking and eating with someone, Yotaka told The Arizona Republic in 2021.
