They not only care about what is in their dishes, but about the containers that they go into — here containers are all compostable.
Enjoy the house special “Tom Yum Beer,” a perfect union of lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal that results in a bright, crisp, and zesty brew.

Jackie Suthon Shares Comfort Foods, Kitchen Hacks and Recipe Tips
What is your go-to comfort food?
My comfort go-to food is very simple and super healthy. That would be fresh rolls with our secret peanut sauce.
What food reminds you of childhood — do you have a specific memory that comes to mind?
When I was a kid, my parents would take me up to the mountains and we would always bring our own food and picnic. Chicken satay stands out — the tenderness with peanut sauce, I serve the one that tastes the same at The Baan Thai Cuisine.
Could you share a favorite recipe or some kitchen tricks for our readers?
Cooking from my experience is about heating and timing. You have to be aware of both all the time to create good food.
What about working in this industry is special or important to you?
Working in food industry is hard, because everything you do affects people’s health. We also care not just what is in the dishes or container, but also the container itself, all our containers are compostable. We are here not just for business, we’re here for people and community.
