Step into งานวัด — the magic of a Thai temple fair.
Our @langbaanpdx new menu draws inspiration from the sights, sounds, and flavors of Thailand’s beloved temple festivals — where street vendors, sticky rice grills, and shared plates bring entire communities together under string lights and incense smoke.

From nostalgic snacks to bold, festival-style dishes, this is Thai food the way we remember it: communal, joyful, and a little chaotic in all the right ways.

Honored to be part of @opentableforrestaurants 2026 Ambassador Council. OT = OG.

I’ve always believed this industry grows when we share—ideas, mistakes, small wins, all of it. A lot of what I’ve built came from learning alongside others, so being in a room with operators who are pushing their craft and their communities forward means a lot.

Still learning. Still adapting. Not settling.

Excited for what’s next.

Thank you so much for this incredible honor

As a member of the Asian Pacific community and someone who works in the culinary field, I’ve always believed that food is a powerful way to tell our stories — to preserve our roots, challenge perceptions, and bring people together.

This recognition isn’t just about me — it’s about every cook, every mentor, every family recipe that helped shape our journey. I’m proud to represent our culture and to help make space for more voices at the table.

Thank you for including me, seeing our work, and for celebrating the power of heritage @goldhouseco

We cannot contain our excitement because our dear friend Chutatip “Nok” Suntaranon, is coming back to cook with us on May 18th! Nok is the chef behind the jaw-dropping Philadelphia restaurant, Kalaya. She will be parting with Chef Earl Ninsom, Chef Pui Kitsanaruk and our sweet little team to create a 5-course meal in celebration of Noks’ new cookbook, “Kalaya’s Southern Thai Kitchen”.

Everyone who dines with us that night will receive a signed copy of her book— it’s going to be so much fun.

Reservations drop Sunday, April 27th at 12 PM via our website. These reservations went FAST last year. We really hope to see you there. Below, you can learn a little more about Chef Nok.

Chutatip “Nok” Suntaranon is a 2025 TIME100 honoree, James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef, restaurateur and author of Kalaya’s Southern Thai Kitchen. A flight attendant from Trang, Thailand, Nok entered her second act at age 50 by opening Kalaya, one of the country’s highest-regarded Thai restaurants, named after Nok’s mother. Opened in April 2019 as a small BYOB in South Philadelphia, Kalaya was named one of Esquire’s and Food & Wine’s “Best New Restaurants” and was a James Beard Foundation Award nominee for “Best New Restaurant” in 2020. In November 2022, Kalaya relocated to Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood with a larger footprint and bar program. Nok’s notoriously impeccable style has been featured in New York Magazine and Philadelphia Style Magazine; she was also named one of the “Most Influential Philadelphians” by Philadelphia Magazine in 2023 and 2024. Nok’s TV appearances include the Philadelphia episode of Netflix’s Somebody Feed Phil in 2021, and in 2024 a dedicated Season 7 episode on Netflix’s Emmy-nominated Chef’s Table.
