Authentic Thai Restaurant in Seattle | Kaosamai Thai
Kaosamai Thai has been a cherished part of Seattle's Fremont neighborhood since 2001. Our journey began with a small family-based team driven by ambition and a passion for authentic Thai cuisine. In 2004, we launched Seattle's first hand-built mobile catering truck, pioneering the local food truck industry. Over two decades, our signature orange restaurant and trucks have become community landmarks. Reopening our brick-and-mortar location in 2019 allowed us to blend our renewed vision with enduring values. As an immigrant, women, and family-owned business, we take pride in sharing our culinary heritage with Seattle, our extended family.Our commitment to quality ingredients and traditional recipes remains unwavering. We are deeply grateful for the community's support that has made our journey possible. Every dish we serve reflects our dedication to preserving Thai culinary traditions while embracing innovation. Our team's expertise, honed over 20 years, ensures an exceptional dining experience. This legacy of authenticity and community connection continues to define our identity.
