“My goal is to make sure people

Chef Kasem “Pop” Saengsawang. It is all about the spice. The spice extends life,
and we strive to provide the freshest pure ingredients in everything we serve, from our
Thai street food to our fancier entrees. “We believe that Thai cuisine will never die.
We believe the spiciness will last long, forever.”
We invite you to come and be transported to the streets of Thailand. Experience all we
have to offer — our zesty food, our elegantly adored walls, and even our heartwarming
smiles. The Best Thai Restaurant.

Thai Takedown!
Four chefs aim to create dishes at the highest level as they cook Thai-inspired meals in the culinary tightrope act called Chopped. In the appetizer round, a mishap and a time management issue put the chefs' ability to finish their chicken feet plates in jeopardy. A colorful entrée basket includes some pretty purple dumplings. Then, in the dessert round, a competitor must juggle two simultaneous snafus. Will the last round of this Thai-inspired feast end in disaster?
