Naung Mai Thai Kitchen

Discover the authentic taste of Thailand at Naung Mai Thai Kitchen, a beloved family-owned restaurant nestled in the heart of Anacortes, Washington. Established in 1999, this culinary gem brings the vibrant flavors of Chiang Mai directly to your table, crafted with recipes passed down through generations. The story behind Naung Mai begins with Issaree, a former U.S. Navy service member assigned to NAS Whidbey Island, who dreamed of uniting her family under one roof in America. Inspired by her parents Ma and Pa, who operated a thriving restaurant in Chiang Mai for over two decades, Issaree infused her vision with their seasoned expertise and cherished Thai traditions. From humble beginnings in a small house at 3015 Commercial Avenue to their current spacious location at 2216 Commercial Avenue, the restaurant has grown while maintaining its intimate, family-oriented atmosphere. The matriarch Ma still personally oversees the kitchen, ensuring every dish meets the same exacting standards that have earned them the title of Best Asian Food in Anacortes from 2018 to 2024. Whether you're craving aromatic pad thai, spicy green curry, or tender massaman curry, each dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and traditional techniques. The warm, welcoming environment makes it perfect for family dinners, romantic dates, or casual lunches with friends. Open daily from 11 AM to 8:30 PM, Naung Mai Thai Kitchen invites you to experience the genuine hospitality and exceptional flavors that have made it a cornerstone of the Anacortes culinary scene.
