Description
Taking its name from the phrase for both Thai rice and Thai food, Kao Thai shapes its kitchen around the four traditional Thai flavors—sweet, sour, spicy, and salty. Everything is cooked without MSG by a chef from Thailand, drawing on family recipes that span stir-fries, seafood, and desserts alongside staples like Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai. It pairs traditional Thai hospitality with aromatic herbs and balanced spices, keeping the focus squarely on well-executed classics.
