From Laos to Tukwila: The Story Behind Simply Thai
Executive Chef Nita Moore traces her recipes back to the Laotian royal family — here's how that heritage shapes every plate we serve.
Behind all great food is an even greater story. Ours begins in Laos, on the Southeast Asian peninsula — Thailand on its western border, Vietnam to the east — a beautiful country full of ancient arts, culture, and food.
A royal kitchen heritage
Executive Chef Nita Moore traces her culinary history back to the Laotian royal family. Her grandparents prepared meals for the monarchy using fresh local ingredients, in the time-honored methods of Laotian tradition, and those recipes were passed down from generation to generation.
What that means on your plate
Our mission is simple: source and prepare the freshest ingredients for our handcrafted Thai cuisine. Each plate begins with high-quality meats or fresh seafood from our own processing facility, joined by vegetables, fruit, and aromatics from local suppliers. The finishing touches are traditional seasonings and our house-made sauces.
Each meal is worthy of our family at home — which means you'll enjoy an authentic taste of Thailand at every visit to our Tukwila dining room.
