King Market/Lao Thai Cafe

Located inside Antioch’s King Market grocery, Lao Thai Cafe offers expertly prepared takes on Thai and Laotian cuisine. It’s the sister restaurant of Thai favorite Thai Esane.

Beer available. Open 9 am-7:30 pm for lunch and dinner daily.

MUST EATS: Pho, fried shrimp, Kai Poon Nam Pong, Mee Krob, garlic vegetables, short ribs, deep-fried mackerel 

“King’s menu allows us to look beyond the now-predictable fare of some of the Thai shops in town, and venture to the northern Isan region and taste the influence of Lao culture.”
