Originally located in what is now Thai Town, Chao Krung opened in 1969 by Boon and Supa Kuntee as Los Angeles’ oldest Thai restaurant, bringing authentic Thai cuisine to the West Coast. In 1976, Chao Krung moved to its current location in the heart of Mid-City, offering recipes passed down through generations. Chao Krung stands as Los Angeles’ oldest Thai restaurant, and has evolved alongside the city’s culinary landscape. With authentic family recipes passed down for generations, traditional Thai decor and family photos all over the restaurant, Chao Krung pays homage to the family’s Thai roots and honors traditional Thai culture, while catering to a modern Los Angeles crowd.
