Thai restaurant Gapao's owner and his wife

The restaurant's name, Gapao, a well-known Thai national dish in Japan, was chosen because of the restaurant's desire to make Thai food familiar and easily accessible.

The menu offers a wide variety of about 50 dishes at reasonable prices. The menu is based on local recipes and arranged to suit the Japanese palate, so it is recommended for beginners of Thai cuisine. The traditional Thai tableware that complements the dishes is also a must-see.

Tom Yam Kung for 1,485 yen. A classic Thai soup with shrimp. The perfect amount of spice makes it addictive!
