Thai Catering Delivered to Charlestown, MA — KaO Thai & Asian Flavors
Feeding Charlestown — From Lawrence, With Flavor
Charlestown is one of Boston's densest, most active neighborhoods: a mix of longtime residents in the Monument Square area, young professionals in converted loft buildings near the Navy Yard, biotech staff at the Charlestown Innovation Center, and construction crews reshaping the waterfront. When you need food for 10, 30, or 60 people in that kind of environment — a narrow rowhouse, a glass-walled conference room, or a harborside event space — you need a caterer who can plan ahead and deliver a spread that actually satisfies a crowd. That's exactly what KaO Thai & Asian Flavors does, catering from our kitchen in Lawrence, MA into Charlestown and the surrounding metro area.

Lead Times and Group Sizes
We ask for at least 48 hours' notice on all catering orders — no exceptions. That lead time lets us source fresh ingredients, prep sauces from scratch, and package everything so it arrives hot and presentable rather than steamed to mush. Minimum order is 10 guests. Whether you're running a department lunch in a Navy Yard office or a birthday dinner in a Charlestown walk-up with your whole friend group, that 10-person floor is easy to meet.
For larger corporate events — think all-hands meetings, client appreciation lunches, or multi-team catering — we build platters and bulk trays scaled to your headcount. Just tell us your number and we'll size accordingly.

What We Bring to the Table
Our catering menu pulls from the same dishes that pack our dining room every week:
- Pad Thai — the crowd-pleaser that converts skeptics
- General KaO Chicken — crispy, saucy, universally loved
- Kao Fried Rice and Thai Fried Rice — reliable bulk options
- Drunken Noodle 🌶️🌶️ and Spicy Basil Fried Rice 🌶️🌶️ — for the heat-seekers on your team
- Grilled Chicken Teriyaki — a clean, approachable protein
- LoMein and Gyoza — great as add-ons or for lighter appetites
- Crab Rangoon — the starter people fight over
- Kao Platters — our signature family-style trays built for sharing
- Thai Iced Tea — sweet, creamy, and a genuine crowd moment
Have vegans, gluten-avoiders, or guests with nut allergies on your list? Let us know when you order. We'll go through each dish with you so nobody ends up eating plain rice while everyone else digs in.

How Catering to Charlestown Works
Our restaurant is in Lawrence, MA — roughly 30 miles north of Charlestown via I-93 or Route 1. That's an honest drive, which is exactly why the 48-hour lead time matters: it gives us time to coordinate delivery logistics so the food lands at your door on schedule, not whenever traffic cooperates.
A note for Charlestown specifically: if you're in a Navy Yard office building with loading-dock requirements, a condo in the Bunker Hill area with street-only access, or an event venue along the waterfront, mention it when you book. We'll plan accordingly — parking and drop-off in Charlestown can be tight, and we'd rather know upfront than figure it out on delivery day.
