Thai Party Catering Serving Assembly Row, MA – KaO Thai & Asian Flavors
Bringing Thai Flavor to Your Assembly Row Celebration
Assembly Row has become one of the most vibrant social spots on the Mystic River — weekend birthday dinners at the riverside apartments, graduation parties in the rooftop common spaces, and celebrations spilling out of the AMC-area event halls. When you want food that actually excites a crowd instead of just feeding one, KaO Thai & Asian Flavors in Lawrence, MA is ready to cater your next private event in Assembly Row.
We serve Assembly Row from our kitchen at 125 Essex Street, Lawrence, MA — roughly a 25-minute drive north. Catering orders are packed and ready for you to pick up, or you can coordinate drop-off details when you place your order. Either way, the food arrives hot and ready to impress.

What Works for a Party Crowd
Not every dish travels the same. These are the menu items that hold beautifully and satisfy a room full of guests:
- Pad Thai — the crowd-pleaser that needs no introduction; works for all ages and spice comfort levels
- Kao Fried Rice & Thai Fried Rice — hearty, shareable, and easy to portion for a buffet line
- General KaO Chicken — a house favorite with bold sweet-savory flavor that disappears fast at parties
- Drunken Noodle 🌶️🌶️ — perfect for the heat-seekers in your group; label it clearly and watch it go
- Spicy Basil Fried Rice 🌶️🌶️ — another spicy fan-favorite for guests who want something with a kick
- Grilled Chicken Teriyaki — mild, filling, and great for mixed crowds including kids
- Crab Rangoon & Gyoza — ideal appetizer starters while guests are mingling and arriving
- Lo Mein — a reliable, filling base that stretches well when you have a big headcount
- Thai Iced Tea — order a batch; it photographs beautifully and people love it
- Kao Platters — our built-for-sharing format, ideal when you want a little of everything on the table

Family-Style vs. Individually Packed
For birthday dinners or graduation gatherings where guests sit down together, family-style trays make the most sense — they encourage sharing, look impressive on a table, and cut down on individual packaging waste. For a more casual Assembly Row rooftop hang or a standing party in a common area, individually packed portions keep things tidy and let guests grab and go without needing serving utensils.
When you contact us, let us know how your venue is set up — indoor seating, outdoor terrace, standing-room cocktail style — and we can help you decide what format fits best.

Portions, Headcount & Lead Time
Catering is available for a minimum of 10 guests. Most celebration groups in Assembly Row run 15–40 people, which is a sweet spot for our platters and trays to shine without waste.
Please place your order at least 48 hours in advance. Weekend parties book up, especially Friday and Saturday evenings, so the earlier you reach out the better — especially for summer events near the waterfront.
