Thai & Asian Catering Delivered to Medford, MA — KaO Thai & Asian Flavors
Bringing Authentic Thai Flavor to Medford Events
Medford is a busy, mixed-use city — Tufts University pulls in thousands of students and faculty, the Wellington corridor draws office workers, and neighborhoods like West Medford and Hillside host everything from backyard graduation parties to civic events. When you need food that travels well, pleases a crowd with mixed dietary needs, and arrives ready to serve, KaO Thai & Asian Flavors caters directly to Medford from our kitchen at 125 Essex Street in Lawrence, MA — roughly 25 miles north of the city.

How the Catering Process Works
Minimum group size: 10 guests
Lead time required: Please place your catering order at least 48 hours in advance. This is firm — it gives our kitchen time to prep large-batch dishes properly rather than rushing. If you're planning a Tufts departmental lunch, a company all-hands at a Wellington-area office, or a birthday dinner at home in West Medford, lock your order in early.
Once your order is confirmed, we coordinate delivery timing with you so food arrives hot and ready. Because we're coming from Lawrence, we plan routes to avoid peak I-93 and Route 28 slowdowns — mornings and early-afternoon windows typically work smoothest.

- General KaO Chicken — crispy, saucy, and always a hit at office spreads

- Drunken Noodle 🌶️🌶️ and Spicy Basil Fried Rice 🌶️🌶️ — for the guests who want heat
- Grilled Chicken Teriyaki — a lighter protein option
- Lo Mein — accessible and filling for mixed groups
- Crab Rangoon and Gyoza — perfect appetizer starters for a buffet setup
- Kao Platters — formatted for easy group sharing
- Thai Iced Tea — a natural crowd-favorite for warm-weather events

Handling Dietary Needs in a Mixed Group
Medford's population is genuinely diverse — students from dozens of countries, long-term residents, and office teams with varying dietary restrictions. When you place your order, tell us about vegetarian, vegan, or allergy considerations and we'll work through options with you. Several of our rice and noodle dishes can be adjusted; our team will confirm what's possible for your specific order.

Corporate Catering for Medford Offices
If you're coordinating a working lunch for a team near the Wellington MBTA Orange Line stop or in one of Medford's Route 16 commercial strips, we can discuss delivery windows that fit before a noon meeting or early-afternoon presentation. For recurring office catering — monthly team lunches, client hospitality days — we're glad to set up a standing order rhythm once you've tried us.

Whether it's a graduation party near Tufts, a milestone birthday in a Medford backyard, or a community gathering at a local hall, our Kao Platters and family-style dishes are built for exactly this kind of event. You handle the venue; we handle the food.
