Our Story

We Cook It
the Way It Should Be.

"Kin Kao" — in Thai, it simply means eat rice. But for us, it means something bigger: a commitment to the food we grew up cooking, without compromise, without sweetening it down for the American palate.

After spending nine years inside a Thai kitchen and building this truck from the ground up, every dish on our menu is the same thing you'd eat on the streets of Bangkok, Chiang Mai, or any Thai family dinner table. Bold spice. Complex aromatics. Nothing watered down.

Utah deserves more than Americanized Thai food. If you've traveled to Thailand and couldn't find that taste when you came home — you've found your truck.

"กิน ข้าว — Kin Kao. It's not just a name. It's an invitation to eat the way Thai people actually eat."

— Chief Top, Founder & Chef

What People Are Saying

They Came Back.
And Back Again.

★★★★★

"I lived in Chiang Mai for two years. When I got back to Utah I gave up trying to find real Thai food. Then someone told me about Kin Kao. This is the real deal — I don't know how, but the flavors are exactly right."

★★★★★

"The Khao Krapao hit different. I've had it at a dozen Thai places in Utah and this is the first one that actually has the holy basil flavor. No joke. The heat is real too — finally."

Marcus T.
Murray, UT
★★★★★

"We hired Kin Kao for our team lunch and 50 people were raving about it the rest of the day. The setup was seamless, the food was incredible, and I had three people ask me how to book them again."
