Thai Party & Event Catering Delivered to Somerville, MA
Bringing Thai Flavors to Your Somerville Celebration
Somerville is one of the most densely packed, socially active communities in Greater Boston — triple-deckers full of friend groups, a large population of grad students and young professionals, and a calendar packed with birthdays, graduation parties, and neighborhood gatherings every weekend. When you want something more exciting than pizza for your next celebration, KaO | Thai & Asian Flavors caters events right to your Somerville address from our kitchen at 125 Essex Street in Lawrence, MA.
Whether you're hosting 10 people in a Davis Square apartment or 40 guests at a rented event space in Union Square, we bring the food to you — hot, generous, and ready to feed a crowd.

What to Order for a Somerville Party
For evening celebrations and weekend gatherings, these dishes consistently scale well and travel reliably:
- Pad Thai — the crowd-pleaser that needs no introduction; works for mixed groups with different comfort levels
- General KaO Chicken — crispy, saucy, and the first tray to disappear at any party
- Drunken Noodle 🌶️🌶️ — for your guests who want real heat; label it clearly and watch it vanish
- Spicy Basil Fried Rice 🌶️🌶️ — another bold option; pairs beautifully with milder dishes
- Kao Fried Rice & Thai Fried Rice — reliable bases that keep well and satisfy everyone
- Crab Rangoon & Gyoza — perfect passed appetizers while guests arrive and settle in
- LoMein — hearty and filling; great for late-night birthday spreads
- Thai Iced Tea — order it by the batch; people always go back for seconds
- Kao Platters — our built-for-crowds format, ideal when you want variety without managing a dozen separate containers

Family-Style vs. Individually Packed
For a backyard graduation party or a living room birthday, family-style trays create a social atmosphere — guests serve themselves, refill freely, and the table becomes a centerpiece. This works especially well in Somerville's larger apartment common areas and rented halls.
If your event is more spread out — say, a rooftop gathering or a park celebration in the Assembly Row area — individually packed portions keep things clean and portable. Just let us know your setup when you reach out and we'll advise on the best approach for your headcount and space.

Portions and Planning for Your Guest Count
Our catering minimum is 10 guests. For birthday and graduation parties, we generally recommend ordering a mix of two to three proteins, one or two noodle or rice dishes, and a couple of appetizers. A spread like that hits the right balance of variety and quantity without overwhelming your budget or your counter space.
Somerville apartments — especially the walk-up triple-deckers common in Magoun Square and East Somerville — can have limited prep space, so knowing your layout in advance helps us suggest quantities that make setup simple.

Lead Time & How to Order
We ask for at least 48 hours' notice on all catering orders. For weekend parties — Friday and Saturday evenings are our busiest catering windows — placing your order by Wednesday gives us the best chance to accommodate you fully.
Lawrence to Somerville is roughly 30–40 minutes depending on traffic, so we coordinate pickup or drop-off timing carefully to make sure everything arrives fresh.
