Meet Superkim
Some people are born into food. Indeed, Superkim is one of them.
It started in Thailand, on the streets where his grandmother ran a beloved Thai dessert stall at the local market. The smell of coconut milk and the warmth of freshly made kanom were his earliest memories. Moreover, food wasn’t just sustenance; it was love passed down through generations.
When his family packed up and moved to Los Angeles in the 1990s, they naturally brought those flavors with them. His parents opened one of Thai Town Hollywood’s first authentic dessert shops—Kanom Thai Ramsong—serving the community the exact recipes his grandmother once made.
Growing up behind that counter, SuperKim learned everything. Specifically, he discovered not just how to cook, but how food builds a strong community.
In 2016, he took a leap. Consequently, he moved to Portland, Oregon, and launched his first food cart: Thai Me Up. It was scrappy, bold, and unapologetically authentic, and Portland absolutely loved it.
Then came Seattle. Initially, in 2023, he opened the Crab House in the heart of Pioneer Square, riding the wave of the city’s love for seafood.
However, something was missing.
After years of running the previous concept, SuperKim looked around Pioneer Square and realized a hard truth. In fact, this neighborhood—full of life, history, and hungry people—had no real Thai food to call its own.
Therefore, he decided to change that.
Our Thai Kitchen & Bar was born from that realization. Ultimately, it is a restaurant that brings the bold, honest flavors of Thailand to Seattle. From his grandmother’s street stall to a Portland food cart, every step of the journey led here.
This is not just a restaurant. Truly, this is SuperKim‘s life’s work.
