Our Heritage

A Legacy of Flavor

For three generations, our family has dedicated itself to preserving and sharing the authentic tastes of Thailand.

Roots in Northern Thailand

In 1978, Grandma Siriporn began serving her legendary Khao Soi from a small street stall in the old city of Chiang Mai. Her secret blend of spices, passed down from her own grandmother, drew locals and travelers alike.

Her son, Anan, brought the family recipes to the United States in 1995, opening the first Siam Spice in a modest storefront. With unwavering commitment to authenticity, he sourced traditional ingredients and introduced the vibrant balance of Thai cuisine to a new audience.

Today, led by Chef Mali (Anan's daughter), we honor this legacy while embracing innovation. Every curry paste is still stone-ground daily, every herb is carefully selected, and every dish tells a story of our heritage.
