What Works at a Party (and What Scales to a Crowd)
Not every dish handles a crowd the same way. After years of catering celebrations, here's what we know feeds groups best:
- Kao Platters — our most popular catering format. Generous, shareable, and easy to set on any table.
- Pad Thai — universally loved, holds its texture well, and satisfies guests with mixed tastes.
- Thai Fried Rice & Spicy Basil Fried Rice 🌶️🌶️ — great for guests who want something hearty; the spicy option keeps adventurous eaters happy.
- Drunken Noodle 🌶️🌶️ — a crowd favorite for guests who appreciate bold, chili-forward flavor.
- General KaO Chicken — sweet, savory, approachable for everyone at the table including picky eaters.
- Gyoza & Crab Rangoon — ideal as passed appetizers or a starter spread while guests arrive.
- Thai Iced Tea — a festive, photogenic drink that feels special at a party setting.
For larger celebrations, we recommend mixing one or two crowd-pleasing mains (Pad Thai, General KaO Chicken) with a bolder option (Drunken Noodle, Spicy Basil Fried Rice) so every guest finds something they love.

Family-Style vs. Individually Packed
For house parties and apartment gatherings in Kenmore — where counter space and serving dishes may be limited — family-style platters are usually the smoothest option. Guests serve themselves, the food stays warm longer in bulk, and there's less packaging to manage in a small kitchen.
If you're hosting at an outdoor venue, a rooftop, or a space without a proper serving setup, individually packed portions can make distribution much easier and keep things tidy.
Tell us about your space when you reach out and we'll help you decide which format fits.

Planning Details: What You Need to Know
Kenmore is roughly 25–30 miles from our Lawrence location, so logistics matter. Here's what to keep in mind:
- Minimum order: 10 guests
- Lead time: Please place your catering order at least 48 hours in advance — for weekend parties, earlier is always better since Saturdays and Sundays fill up fast.
- Pickup or coordination: Contact us directly to discuss how your order will be handled for your specific event date and location.
- No same-day catering — planning ahead is the key to a stress-free party.
Birthdays, graduation parties, and celebrations tend to cluster on weekends. If your event falls on a Friday evening or Saturday afternoon in Kenmore, don't wait until the week of to reach out.
