What to Order
Keng's Nuts
This stir-fry features lightly breaded chicken, cashews, bell peppers, and onions, all brought together with a savory-sweet nam prik pao (roasted chili jam).
"Keng’s Nuts is an absolute standout. It’s this perfect stir-fry of lightly breaded chicken tossed with crunchy cashews, bell peppers, and onions. What really makes it, though, is the nam prik pao (that roasted chili jam)—it gives it a deep, savory sweetness with just the right amount of kick."
Hameed Bhatti
Chef Pad Thai
A unique take on the classic, this Pad Thai offers a delightful crunch and a subtle hint of coconut milk, elevating its flavor profile.
"I love the Chef’s pad Thai. Crunchy, tasty, fresh, and with extra chili oil, lots of heat. Let’s go!"

Khao Soi
This yellow curry noodle soup is a comforting and authentic Northern Thai dish, rich in flavor and satisfying.
"The beef Khao Soi was top tier. I’ve been to Thailand (where I fell in love with the dish) and this place hits the spot; knocking it out of the park! Amazing. You have to taste to believe."
