• Asian • West Hollywood
Booked 10 times today
Queen Violet is a modern Asian fusion restaurant in an unique European style building with a beautiful floral courtyard. Most of our dishes are inspired by Chef Sara Thongchoet. We also offer traditional Thai and Chinese recipes that make you feel at home. Chef Sara created her own recipes from her apartment in 2010 by cooking for her family and friends. Everyone loved her food, and her friends brought more friends!  She quickly realized that the groups have gotten too big for her apartment. This moment of inspiration sparked her passion and her soul to become a chef.  Chef Sara finally made “Queen Violet” happen in the heart of WeHo!So why the name “Queen Violet”?-Queen?  We playfully imagine our customers to be Queen Bees returning to their hive (our restaurant).-Violet?  In Thailand, violet is the color of the LGBTQ, not the rainbow.  So, we chose violet to represent our support for the LGBTQ community.So welcome to Queen Violet !
