How It All Began

A Family Legacy of Flavor

In 2015, Chef Somchai Prasert fulfilled a lifelong dream when he opened the doors to Krua Thai Kitchen. Growing up in Bangkok, he spent countless hours in his grandmother's kitchen, learning the secrets of authentic Thai cuisine.

Those cherished family recipes, passed down through three generations, became the foundation of our menu. Each dish tells a story of tradition, love, and the vibrant flavors of Thailand.

What started as a small restaurant with just eight tables has grown into a beloved gathering place where guests become family, and every meal is a celebration of Thai culture.

Our recipes honor centuries-old Thai cooking traditions, prepared with techniques passed down through generations of our chef's family.

Warm Hospitality

In Thai culture, guests are treated like family. We welcome every visitor with genuine warmth and attentive service that makes you feel at home.
