Thai & Asian Catering Served to Chinatown, Boston — From KaO in Lawrence
Bringing Lawrence's Best Thai Flavors Into Chinatown
Chinatown is one of Boston's most food-literate neighborhoods — residents, healthcare workers from Tufts Medical Center, law-firm employees on Beach Street, and students from nearby Suffolk and Emerson know good food. When you want something beyond the block's usual options for your office meeting, team lunch, or private event, KaO Thai & Asian Flavors caters directly to Chinatown from our kitchen at 125 Essex Street, Lawrence, MA — roughly 30 miles north via I-93.
We handle the cooking. You handle the conference room.

How Catering Into Chinatown Works
Chinatown's dense layout — narrow one-ways, limited loading zones, and high-rise office entries on Kneeland and Harrison — makes catering logistics matter as much as the menu. Here's what to expect when you book with KaO:
- Minimum group size: 10 guests
- Advance notice required: Please place your order at least 48 hours ahead of your event date
- Delivery coordination: When you book, share your building's loading dock hours, lobby access instructions, or any elevator restrictions — we plan around your building's reality, not ours
- Format: We send food in ready-to-serve trays sized for group buffet setup, ideal for Chinatown office suites, community meeting rooms, or private dining spaces
For high-density buildings with strict delivery windows — common along Tremont Street and around South Cove — giving us your security desk contact helps everything run smoothly.

The Menu: Real Thai Dishes Your Team Will Actually Eat
Our catering menu is built around the same dishes Chinatown's diverse crowd already loves: bold, balanced, and honest about heat levels.
Top catering picks from the KaO kitchen:
- Pad Thai — crowd-pleasing, GF-adaptable, safe for mixed groups
- General KaO Chicken — our signature; sweet, savory, mildly spiced
- Drunken Noodle 🌶️🌶️ — for the team members who want real heat
- Spicy Basil Fried Rice 🌶️🌶️ — another double-chili option for heat seekers
- Kao Fried Rice & Thai Fried Rice — reliable bulk staples for large groups
- Grilled Chicken Teriyaki — familiar flavor, great for picky eaters
- Crab Rangoon & Gyoza — ideal appetizer trays for networking events
- LoMein — a crowd favorite for mixed Asian-cuisine spreads
- Kao Platters — curated combinations for easier ordering at scale
- Thai Iced Tea — the finishing touch for any group spread
If your Chinatown office includes team members with dietary restrictions — vegetarian, gluten-sensitive, or low-spice preferences — let us know when you order and we'll flag the best options across the menu.

Built for Corporate and Private Events
Chinatown hosts everything from biotech firm all-hands lunches to community association dinners to student group events. KaO's 48-hour booking window and 10-person minimum make us practical for last-minute corporate catering (as long as two days out) and well-scaled for larger office parties or celebrations without requiring banquet-hall minimums.
We don't offer individual delivery — this is a dedicated catering service, structured for groups, with the portion sizes and tray formats that make sense for a conference table or a standing event.
