A Culinary Journey Rooted in Family Tradition
The Family Legacy
Chef Kevin Kongklom didn't just learn how to cook — he was raised in a kitchen.
From as early as he can remember, he stood beside his mother at the stove, absorbing the secrets of Thai flavors through scent, touch, and instinct.
"Cooking wasn't a career choice for me. It was already in my blood." - Chef Kevin Kongklom
From Thailand to Vegas
His grandmother's famous food stall in Thailand drew locals from miles around.
The family recipes she perfected became the heart of every dish he creates today.
Each recipe carries generations of tradition, passed down through careful observation and countless hours spent perfecting balance and technique.
Innovation Through Heritage
Building Community Through Food
When he began experimenting with Grandma's recipes, Chef Kevin discovered something magical.
Adding a playful Japanese twist here, refining a spice balance there — his friends couldn't get enough.
Each plate he served told a story: of home, of heritage, and of late-night gatherings over shared small plates.
"I grew up watching my grandmother cook for our neighborhood. Now I get to share those recipes — and reimagine them — with late-night diners in Vegas." - Chef Kevin Kongklom
