More Than a Restaurant: Our Family’s Journey

Thong Thai Bistro is more than just a restaurant to us — it is our family’s story.

After returning from Thailand during Covid, life changed very quickly. Like many families during that difficult period, we had to find a way to rebuild and provide for our children. What started as a small effort to put food on the table slowly became Thong Thai Bistro.

Neither Chef June nor Indi came from a traditional restaurant background. Chef June never worked in a commercial kitchen, and Indi had no formal hospitality training. Everything we know has been learned through experience, hard work, and determination.

Chef June cooks from memory, family traditions, and years of home-style Southern Thai cooking. Indi manages the front of house the best he can, making sure guests feel welcomed and looked after. Together, we simply try our best every day.

As a family-run restaurant, we know we are not perfect. Sometimes our children are around, and sometimes the environment may feel less polished than larger establishments. But what we hope guests feel is sincerity, warmth, and honest hospitality.

We may still be growing, but every dish and every table comes from genuine effort, heart, and the desire to create something meaningful for our family and our guests.
