Our Story
How All Thai’d Up Began
Hi, I’m Chef Kat, the owner of All Thai’d Up, located at 4812 Brownsboro Center in Louisville, KY. My journey with food began in Bangkok, Thailand, where I grew up surrounded by the vibrant flavors and traditions of Thai cuisine. My mom, who is American, and my dad, who is Thai, gave me the best of both worlds—an appreciation for heritage and a passion for sharing it with others.
From Bangkok to Louisville
Before opening All Thai’d Up, I explored many paths. From running an insurance business to launching e-commerce companies, and even starting an American diner in Bangkok, I’ve always been drawn to new challenges. In 2017, I moved to Louisville to be closer to my mom and felt it was time to take my love for Thai food to the next level.
All Thai’d Up started small, teaching people how to cook Thai food at home. I loved showing how simple fresh ingredients could create incredible dishes like Pad Thai, green curry, or spicy basil stir fry. Over time, I realized I wanted to do more than teach—I wanted to create a space where people could experience authentic Thai flavors without leaving the U.S. That’s how the idea for our restaurant was born.
At All Thai’d Up, we do things differently. Our food is homemade, just like how it’s done in Thailand, using recipes I grew up with. Whether you’re enjoying a meal in our casual restaurant, ordering takeout, or catching our food truck around town, every dish is made with care. We also offer catering and reservations, making us a go-to spot for everything from dinner dates to big celebrations.
