Our journey began in the vibrant streets of Bangkok, where our founder learned the craft of Thai cooking from generations of local chefs—each dish rooted in tradition, family, and flavor. Now nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains, we share that culinary heritage with the Scotts Valley community, serving up a taste of Thailand with every plate.
Kao Sook Thai Cuisine is an award-winning local Scotts Valley restaurant serving up authentic family style Thai cuisine. Chef/Owner, Mo (Thanchanok) and her husband took over the restaurant in September 2021 when the previous owners retired. Mo came to Santa Cruz in 2014 from Bangkok, where she had been working in the hotel and restaurant industry since attending University. She grew up in a local village in the countryside about 6 hours North of Bangkok where the community including her family were local rice farmers.
At Kao Sook Thai, what hasn’t changed are the recipes and warm friendly staff. We continue to make upgrades to the kitchen. We have our eyes on adding new items or a little tweak here and there to your old favorites. We always are looking for customer feedback on what’s good , really good and could be better… stop by, say hello and taste for yourself the love and passion we put into every dish.
It’s a bold dance of heat, sweetness, and savory depth—where balance is everything and flavor never takes a back seat. Whether it’s the bright zing of lime, the warm hug of coconut milk, or the lingering kick of spice, each bite tells a story rooted in tradition and refined over generations.
From rich curries and sizzling stir-fries to sweet, refreshing Thai iced tea, your next flavor-packed meal is just a few clicks away. Whether you’re local to Scotts Valley or coming through the Santa Cruz area, Kao Sook Thai brings bold, authentic dishes right to your table—fast, fresh, and full of spice.
Let’s turn up the heat. Your craving starts here.
