Wowwww! Ok, I'm a fan! My brother recommended this spot and it truly felt like a hidden gem. When I heard we were going to a restaurant in West Hollywood, I expected it to be in the in the very busy area that's hard to find parking. This place is blocks away in a quieter part of the city and coming during the week proved to be easy parking as surrounding businesses are closed by then. The ambiance is wonderful! Everything is purple. :) Outdoor dining on a charming patio paired with fantastic dishes, presentation and service with a total win. This place is an experience and vibe was on point. We shared several dishes, starting with the sampler. Everything was tasty and delicious. Of course we over ordered, but the leftovers heated up really well. Price point was a bit high, however, as mentioned before, it's an experience and with that in mind I think it's 100% worth it. I know i'll be back! read more

Ube pancakes: 3.5/5 couldn't really taste any ube. pancakes were a bit dry. Noticed I was adding a little more whipped cream and their house Ube syrup more than I normally would since pancake was on the dryer end. Overall just tasted like regular pancakes, but bled beautifully. Lobster tom yum noodle: 5/5 SO! GOOD! this dish was exceedingly good. I would go back to this restaurant just for this dish. Strong tummy on flavor and noodle noodles were cooked al dente. Wish I knew which noodles they used because I want to replicate. Never understood why people would say. They still dream about a dish, but I can finally relate. Yes this dish is that good and very reasonably priced. Lobster on WEHO for about $32? Why tf not Thai iced coffee: 3/5 too sweet and didn't taste any Thai tea? If you like Vietnamese coffee this is exactly what it tasted like. Ambiance lots of fake flowers very WEHO, almost always sunny outside seating. No wait on a Saturday morning brunch. Servers were very helpful and kind. I would come back, especially to try more savory and Thai dishes. I wouldn't let the pancakes deter you from trying this place. read more

Queen Violet WeHo - Tom kha gai / Chicken Coconut Soup - Chinese Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Extremely expensive or I would go back more often. The bathroom is dirty and it doesn't work well and the soap is hot pink. Outside there is a speaker that is playing only treble and sounds completely off and is playing a repetitive like a broken record over and over again and is extremely obnoxious and too loud. Really ruins the vibe. read more

This Thai-skewing Asian Fusion place is super convenient but damn is it disappointing. The coconut soup starts flavorfully but its watery broth is its downfall. Could've used more lemongrass, and the chicken was way overdone. The husband's shrimp looked cooked well. Orange chicken teases w a suggestion of spice, but def falls flat. Nicely breaded tho. The Hong Kong noodles over promised and under delivered. They forgot to put in the tempura mushrooms. Once delivered, the mushrooms themselves were pretty good, but were overpowered by the bottled sweet sauce they accompanied. The extra star is for convenience, really. It's cute, and they're dog friendly, but I expect more. Do better. read more

Overall: 5 stars Very captivating Thai restaurant filled with interesting creations taking inspiration from southeast Asian flavors that I want to try. Went for some reasonably priced classics and really enjoyed it. (Lobster Pad Thai: A) - Impressively tender lobster packed with that residual tamarind glaze and additional salt and pepper. The Pad Thai separately tastes great with that addictingly sweet, acidic, and savory tamarind palm sugar sauce. I found that there was a lot of egg in the noodles, and for it to be on the sweeter side, but nevertheless a sumptuous dish. (Mango Sticky Rice: A) - A rarity to find ripe and reasonably flavored mangoes in february but this dish was quite nice. This was a large portion, though I later found out it was a serving for two, which made sense because it eats like a full meal. The rice is beautifully dyed and the toasted coconut adds a mild tropical taste and texture.

I'm always wary of "aesthetic" restaurants with floral walls and neon signs since typically in those cases it's usually a trade off between menu quality and decor. However, happy to report that that wasn't the case here! Queen Violet is a super cute, adorably decorated restaurant with a really excellent menu. I've been here twice and was pleased both times. On my second visit, we had the scallops to start which were a bit small for the price but delicious. For our main course, most of my table had the Lobster Tomyum which was sooooo good. The tomyum sauce was creamy and the lobster tail was cooked perfectly. Literally wanted to lick the plate. To drink, I had the Peach Mojito which was ok. Wouldn't necessarily order again, but the presentation of the drinks in a little tower was just so cute so wasn't mad at it. Service was nice and pretty quick as well. read more

Terrific Asian-fusion restaurant located in the heart of Weho. Customer service was top notch. Our server was awesome, and recommended all great options. Food wise, I'd definitely go with the garlic fried rice, scallops, and lobster pasta. The lobster pasta was unlike anything I've ever had; I really liked it! They have a good happy hour menu too. read more

I came to Queen Violet with a group and overall had a really lovely experience. I ordered the blueberry pancakes, and they were delicious--fluffy, flavorful, and perfectly sweet. Around the table we also tried the French toast, the berry pancakes, and the Thai omelette with crab, and everything was genuinely yummy. Great menu for sharing and tasting a little of everything. We sat outside in the courtyard area, which was such a cute vibe. The entire space is very violet-themed and aesthetically pleasing, with lots of fun photo opportunities throughout--definitely an Instagram-friendly spot. One thing to note: while it looked like they had great coffee options, we were told they were only serving black coffee that day, so we didn't get to try any of the specialty drinks, which was a little disappointing. Service overall was fine--nothing particularly memorable--but when we were leaving, one of the women working there kindly took some great photos of our group, which was a really nice touch and ended the visit on a positive note. Overall, a fun and stylish brunch spot with tasty food, a beautiful setting, and great photo ops. read more

I went to Queen Violet and had their Thai tea coffee and it was good! It's definitely strong so if you like a strong coffee this is for you. The service was good.

The space is pretty and the service is friendly, but the food is hit or miss. I ordered the Chinese Chicken Waffles and the chicken and waffles were good separately, but the orange chicken flavor and waffle did not go well together. My sister ordered the Crunchy French Toast which was soggy and not did not taste good. That one was left untouched.

Queen Violet has been on my Yelp list for a while--I'm thrilled I finally got to visit this week! As I imagined in the pictures, the interior design is strongly floral, girly, colorful, and romantic. Inside, there's an intimate setting with dim lights, plenty of table, and a gentle ambiance with privacy. Service is incredibly amicable and fast! We got our water glasses filled often, orders taken early (though to be fair, we came right before dinner rush), and our food arrived only 10-15 minutes after we ordered. We both had the red curry with shrimp and chicken as well as the tuna tartare! We loved everything and found our food satisfying, warm, flavorful, and comforting. I drank the curry broth like no other. Will gladly be back but I want to try their brunch menu! The magic noodles, crab omelette, and mango sticky rice looked fantastic! read more

Met up with my family visiting from New York for lunch and we had a really nice time! The ambience was pleasant, and my nieces loved taking photos and selfies for IG. The food was decent overall, though I wouldn't say it was the most authentic Thai cuisine I've had. There was only one server for the entire restaurant, so service was quite slow. Good thing we weren't in a rush. However, every time we needed something, we had to get up and go inside to get her attention, which was a bit inconvenient. Parking can also be tricky. There's a small lot, but it's easy to miss since there's no visible sign. If that fills up, finding street parking can be a challenge. Overall, it was a decent experience and I'd go back again with my family. I just wish the service was a little faster. read more

When you arrive at this venue, it's like you've entered a flowered oasis with twinkle lights, plants, and umbrellas. It gives off a very tranquil and relaxing vibe. Lots of photo ops. The waitstaff was very polite. We enjoyed the Guacamole Bites, Chicken Fried Rice, Five Spicy Chicken. The Lavender Lemonade looked beautiful but it just tasted like regular lemonade. I loved the food presentation especially the Five Spicy Chicken. Very creative. Has vegan options. There's indoor and outdoor seating. It's good for cozy dinner for two or a large group. There's a mini lot parking next door. I always end with, "Will I return?" Like the logo, I'll "Beeeeee" back!!! read more

Brought my wife here for Valentines Day. The spot is pretty and has a very nice vibe/theme going on. Aside from this it was all just downhill. Had to wait about half an hour for them to bring one drink. Our first appetizer came in over an hour later after ordering. I understand that it was probably busy given that it was a holiday, but multiple guests that arrived after us received their food well before we did. It was only after we brought it to their attention, twice, that something finally came out. The order of our dishes was spastic as well. Since we ordered from a set menu that day, we ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts. Got one of our appetizers first, then an entree, then another appetizer, and finally our last entree. All kind of just throw at us within 15-20 minutes. While I understand that the initial dish took some time to come out and they may have rushed the rest, it definitely seemed unorganized. The lamb chops and curry were tasty. However, the steak was extremely disappointing. I shouldve seen it coming when they didnt ask how we like it prepared. Pretty dry, despite it being medium, and it wasnt served hot or even warm. We ended up requesting the desserts to be to go'd, one of which was supposed to be a strawberry cheesecake. Opened up the box and well the rest is pretty self explanatory lol. Sample size piece of what looks to be regular cake. Kind of a slap on the face after what was already a pretty negative experience. Overall, the experience is cool and the theme is a great photo op. Food was decent (not for the price). Service definitely needs work. The way I see it, its honestly just a basic restaurant hidden behind a false persona full of a bunch of flowers and fancy cloths. Nothing that should've needed a reservation for. Was it worth almost $250 for 2 people? I'll let you decide that one. read more

This place was great! Service was 10/10 with everyone being super attentive and helpful. The restaurant is super pretty and has a nice outdoor courtyard. My only complaint here is that our table had a drainage grate under it which was kind of gross, I think they should avoid seating people next to that as there are flies and things around it and it's gross if you drop anything near it. Other than that, I thought the food and drinks were great, and would definitely come back. I really enjoyed the crab fried rice and pad thai. read more

Pretty patio seating with their flower designs. Great place for a date or a small group. Prices are average for this area. The service wasn't the best, but it wasn't rude or anything like that. Parking is always an issue, so make sure you find a good lot or meter. I came on a weeknight and it was nearly empty, but I imagine it could be busy on at more popular times. read more

I was looking for a place to have brunch with a group of 4 that had both savory and sweet options and this place has that on their menu. I was also intrigued by the purple decor and the aesthetic from the pictures but honestly it looks so gorgeous in person even as you walk up to the restaurant. They have seating inside and outside and a variety of flower walls and decor that does the queen and bee theme. I would say the service was a little slower than I would like but we offered grace because it was packed including multiple larger groups and they apologized. Additionally, there was so much detail in the presentation even with drinks that weren't alcoholic (wasn't expecting it). Really though the reason why I am coming back and giving them high reviews is the food. Everything I had was tasty and even the things I couldn't eat, the people who I was with who did enjoyed in and I had no leftovers to take with me Highly recommend and look forward to my return! read more

As you can see from my entrance pic, Queen Violet is a visual stunner - a true showstopper. The design is elegant and whimsical. We opted for lunch on the patio, and while the street was hot, the patio remained cool and inviting. Speaking of inviting, the table setting (see my pic) was both stylish and serene, with a light scent of lavender that lingered delicately without overpowering the meal. We shared our lunch family style, starting with the Pad See Ew with beef. The beef medallions were tender, adding richness and a depth of flavor that played beautifully with the soy-slicked rice noodles. The noodles were soft and satisfying, while the crisp vegetables offered a welcome contrast in texture. Next came the Crab Fried Rice, which was impressively light. It featured delicate blue crab folded into perfectly scrambled eggs and fluffy brown rice. The overall flavor was subtle but well-balanced, especially when paired with the house sauces - one a bright, tangy chili pepper and the other a savory soy-based sauce (see my pic). These provided just the right punch to elevate the dish. We finished with the Holy Basil (see my pic). Generous portions of flavorful ground wagyu were paired with rough-cut vegetables and vibrant Thai basil. The beef was rich and tender, with the basil offering fragrance and spice without overpowering the dish. The vegetables remained crunchy, adding both texture and a fresh edge. read more

We came right when they opened on a Saturday and got seated right away. Our server, Early Grey, was amazing. Super friendly and knowledgeable. They took the time to tell us about the restaurant and walked us through the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations. Drinks came out fast, and they were attentive without being overbearing. My boyfriend and I both ordered the WeHo Brunch, and I'm so glad we did. The Queen Violet pancakes were absolutely incredible. So fluffy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It's a really generous portion, definitely enough to split or save for later. The space is gorgeous. We loved the mix of color, florals, and European-inspired decor. The mural adds a vibrant touch, and the flower wall with the Queen Violet neon sign is super Instagram-worthy. We had such a great experience and will definitely be back! read more

I came here for lunch with my cousin traveling from Texas, she's the one who put me on this restaurant. Fun fact she saw it on Selling Sunset. Immediately you're welcomed with beautiful purple and light colored wisterias. The moment you step in feels like you've traveled to a magical place. Kandy the hostess was the sweetest most accommodating to us. We had the drunken noodles and crab rice. For drinks we had the famous queen violet and strawberry rose. Believe me when I say that the flavors in both dishes were phenomenal. It was an explosion of flavor for my tastebuds. I didn't see the free parking but I was lucky enough to find parking right in front of the restaurant. If I'm in town again I will definitely be stopping by. read more

Tried Queen Violet for lunch and honestly--mixed feelings, but in a good way. The space is small, beautiful, very aesthetically put together. That said, I think I'm officially past my plastic-flowers decor phase--it looked nice, just not fully my vibe anymore. Now the food? That's where they really shine. The Magic Noodles are true culinary art, refreshing, and packed with flavor in a way that completely surprised me. Every bite felt balanced and intentional. Just to add they are cold noodles. The other dishes we tried were very good too. everything felt well-executed and flavorful. And the mango sticky rice was perfect--sweet, fresh, and a great way to end the meal. & stayed with the color theme. The mocktails were tasty and beautiful. The service was good. A little slow. But the main server was sweet. Honestly I barely saw anyone else helping. Overall, I would go there to try this once for sure. read more

Beautiful restaurant, but the Thai food was just standard quality in my opinion. Given the ambiance and vibe, I expected the food to be mind-blowing, but it was just average. The food wasn't bad though. I got the Thai-Khan Tok Tray and it was good but I wish there was more protein variety relative to price paid for it. It was mostly shrimp which my group wasn't aware of, so we had to order extra meat dishes for my aunt who didn't eat shrimp. The flavors and textures of dishes were relatively okay. The ube pancake was dry though. It did come with a milky sauce, but I wish the pancake was moist. Overall, I feel like the main highlight is the ambiance rather than the food. I do appreciate their dedication to the violet theme in decor and food though. read more

Wow! This place came recommended and I can see why. Luscious violets encircle the entrance, creating a sense of magic, like entering a fairy tale. Upon passing through this purple archway, one feels transported to a sumptuous garden in a shaded courtyard. Each little table is slightly different from the next , making each feel like its own little carved out space. We were allowed to choose our table, as it wasn't very crowded, and we selected a little round two top just in front of a bubbling fountain, with backdrops of flowers everywhere. Brunch is served daily until early afternoon which made us happy. My friend enjoys her drinks so we each ordered a cocktail. She started with the signature purple mimosa which was perfectly balanced to create interest to the champagne but not too sweet. I ordered the passion fruit mojito which was delicious but not as epic as hers. We ordered the ube purple pancakes and the brunch with the crunchy French toast and shared. The sausage is turkey sausage so I ate that which was flavorful, while she had the pork bacon. The pancakes were delicious. I'm surprised by the reviewers who said they weren't anything special. They were crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. And the purple sauce was light and refreshing. I'd go back just for these. The crunchy French toast was excellent - I love French toast and usually want it just normal, but the crunchy exterior definitely elevated it. The scrambled eggs weren't my favorite since I prefer mine as just eggs and these were creamy , which is how I think most people prefer them. The service was excellent. Our waiter, Earl Grey, was fantastic. Earl was positive and yet deferential, always with a smile. He seemed to beam at how euphoric the place made us, enjoying our excitement. At one point, we'd ordered too much food and drinks, making the table feel small. He overhead me tell my friend we should have taken a four top to get a larger table for all this food. Immediately, Earl brought over a second two top for us to rest extra drinks. If I lived in LA, I'd be here on a regular basis and wish I could try everything on the menu. read more

I love Asian food .. It's my Favorite... But this was a huge disappointment... I strongly feel .. They have too many dishes on the menu...It's almost impossible to maintain fresh ingredients .. While having this many dishes on the menu... All of the dishes tasted & looked as if they had been pre-cooked & reheated... The egg-rolls were heavy & very greasy... The Hawaiian-Fried-Rice was awful .. The String-Beans were heavy .. greasy & not fresh... I brought home a doggy bag .. This morning .. I opened my refrigerator .. And the odor from the food .. Smelled terrible .. I had to trash all of it... Over-all .. The food was a FAILURE.. Service was Okay .. It's a small place .. Decorated with flowers .. But I looked around & noticed it was a bit dusty... Oh well .. This is my take .. And I must admit .. I am a serious foodie .. With a serious palate .. And Who knows & loves good food...

I would lick the plates if that was socially acceptable Most fave from top to bottom (shared between 3 ppl): - Lobster Tomyum Pasta $34: tomyum flavor was citrusy and prevalent and oh so yummy. Lobster was cooked well! - New Zealand Lamb Chops Curry $36: I was worried there wouldn't be enough curry but there was JUST enough. lamb was cooked perfectly and tender. brussel sprouts were great too - Magic Noodles $24 - refreshing, succulent savory prawns, and color changing noodles. so kewl. Thai tea $6 was basic. service was friendly and attentive Would def come back - if I didn't have to drive through heavy traffic to get here, I would prob come here once a month, if not more often ahhhhhhh. cute aesthetic and even better food. love that they have an outdoor patio which is dog friendly! read more
