One dish we can’t wait to share with @ocvibe visitors: Chu Chee Curry with Catfish.
Our flaky fried catfish is served with a spicy, sweet, and savory red curry and white rice, satisfying virtually all of the senses at once.

Hi everyone 👋

We’re @kanateu and Anita, owners of @eatmanaao + @eatkhaosoi. A web developer for over 20 years, I started cooking during the pandemic. With Thai Town out of reach, I wanted to find a way to satisfy my craving for the authentic Thai dishes I missed so much.
In 2023, we opened Manaao to share these dishes with Orange County. In 2027 we will bring Khao Soi to @katellacommons, focusing on the scratch-made Thai curries we love. We hope you’ll join us! taken in OCVIBE by @kanateu

Coming to @katellacommons at @ocvibe in 2027, Khao Soi serves your favorite slow-cooked Thai curries. From Khao Soi and Green Curry to Chu Chee Curry with Catfish and more, each dish is made from scratch with the most flavorful ingredients.

Follow @eatkhaosoi for updates, we can’t wait to serve you soon! taken in OCVIBE by @kanateu
