Welcome to The-O Thai Restaurant

Our Story:

Nakorn Thaothan grew up surrounded by the warmth of family and the rich aroma of traditional Thai cooking. From an early age, he watched his mother and grandmother prepare food for festivals and family gatherings—each dish crafted with care, each recipe passed down like a treasure. Inspired, Nakorn followed closely in his mother’s footsteps, learning her techniques and gradually developing his own style.

When he moved to Sydney, a whole new world opened up. New cultures, new ingredients, and new culinary challenges sparked a deeper curiosity in him. For 12 years, he immersed himself in learning—studying, experimenting, working tirelessly in kitchens—all while honing his natural talent. Over time, his passion and skill fused into something remarkable.

THE-O Thai Restaurant was born not just from that passion, but from love. Named after his only son, the restaurant was opened as a birthday gift to young Theo Thaothan on his fourth birthday—a father’s heartfelt promise to always cook with love for the one who means the most.
