Every time you choose Ayara, you choose women-owned.

You choose two restaurant kids, one who grew up doing their elementary school homework in the dining room before the busy dinner rush, the other prepping for grad school between market runs.

You choose sisters who went off into the world, studying in New York, Connecticut, France, and Thailand, working in the most non-restaurant careers you can imagine (did you know Vanda worked for the UN?), restaurant jobs you very much can imagine (did you know Cathy did a stint at Mendocino Farms?), cooking and eating their ways through journeys that ultimately led them back here: to home.

You choose women who have taken the torch of restaurant ownership from their parents, who proudly cook the Thai Angeleno cuisine they want to, and who don’t take it for granted a single day that we love what we do and do what we love. Even in an industry not designed for us as women to excel.

So today, before Women’s History Month officially ends, thank you from Chef Vanda and Chef Cathy, from our parents Anna and Andy, and our brother Peter, for supporting Ayara Thai, and for being a part of our personal women’s history. 💚

How fun was last Tuesday! ⁠
⁠
Thank you for coming out to celebrate our Food Network win of “Guy’s Grocery Games.” We held out to do a family episode together as siblings, and we think it’s a major reason we were able to take home the plate, the $20k, and the high we’ve been on since getting to share it with you. (If we ever get asked back, Mama is telling us she wants in on the action! 🛒)⁠

Swipe through to relive the fun and the flavors. ✌️

📢 INTRODUCING: Luiza!⁠ ✌️ When so many of our team members have been with us for a decade or more, you could almost think of Luiza as a newbie—but that wouldn’t be quite right because she’s approaching 5 years with us and we wouldn’t be the same without her! In the kitchen, you will find Luiza pulling rice noodles and cutting veggies. She has one of those special smiles that reach her eyes and we’re excited to introduce you to her today if you don’t know her already. ⁠
⁠
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲?⁠ I’m a prep cook at Ayara Thai, and have been since I started. I found the restaurant through my cousin who had worked with the Asapahus before, and this was actually my first kitchen job, although I’ve been in the service business before. ⁠
⁠
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗿𝗮’𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘂?⁠ Everything! Mango Sticky Rice, Papaya Salad when that’s out of season, Pad Thai, Pad See Ew.... ⁠
⁠
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲?⁠ Gardening. I grow roses: red, pink, white. The red are my favorite. And at home, I love to cook as well. Enchiladas, flautas, gaucamole.... A lot of Mexican food prep is similar to Thai food prep.⁠
⁠
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀’ 𝘁𝗶𝗽? Order any dish Mama makes! I recommend Green Curry with beef and jasmine rice.⁠
⁠
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶? Everything, but I’m especially close with Mama and I miss her when she’s gone. She’s been traveling more the last few years and I’m always so excited when she comes back to the kitchen. ⁠

Luiza, you are one of the reasons we can call ours a work family!

Buckle up, friends. Chef Cathy is breaking down the misunderstanding between the Western and Eastern concepts of spice today, inspired by a disappointed guest who we’d love to fill in on our why. This one’s for you, Michelle!⁠
⁠
In the West, “spice” usually means something additive. 🌶️ In Thailand, spice is part of the balance of flavors (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, spicy) all working together.⁠
⁠
Some dishes aren’t built to be dialed up or down because the spice isn’t a topping . . . it’s part of the architecture. Change the heat, and you change the soul of the dish. Also, you simply cannot always change the heat. Curry paste, for instance, is prepared in advance and can’t be altered in a single bowl. ⁠
⁠
We’ll always guide you. But sometimes the answer is: this is how it’s meant to be. 💚

Ummmmm, holy DM’s! This past weekend while we were cooking at the Art Fair in Santa Monica (more on that later), our messages were blowing up...because we’ve been keeping a secret, and the takeout is out of the bag! 🥡⁠
⁠
Our family is nothing if not (lovingly) competitive, so when the producers of Guy’s Grocery Games approached us about shooting a family episode of the show, it was an easy and automatic 𝘺𝘦𝘴! We brought our brother, Peter, out of restaurant hiding to join us sisters, and we put our skills of organizing, shopping, cooking, and team work to the test on the . For a few weeks before, we strategized and planned—we’re talking Kevin McCallister blueprints style—made tactical presumptions about the layout of the store and what the judges might ask of us, and in the end we’re so happy to (SPOILER ALERT) report that we took home the prize!🥇⁠
⁠
But above all, as trite as it sounds, we just had a great time, and we got to do it alongside other restaurant families who have so much in common with ours. Catch the episode’s rerun on Food Network and where the Asapahus are taking you to with .

Big news from our kitchen! 💫 We’ve joined the 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗳’𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘅 𝗔𝗶𝗿𝗯𝗻𝗯 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 collection, and we’re celebrating by launching something brand new: 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯: 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗟𝗔 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗟𝗲𝗻𝘀.⁠
⁠
Chef’s Table (yep, that Emmy-winning Netflix series!) teamed up with Airbnb to spotlight 70 standout culinary experiences around the world, and we’re honored to be part of this global group, as well as the first Thai restaurant in Los Angeles tapped for the partnership.⁠
⁠
Our chef-led dinner series (hi, it’s Vanda and Cathy!👩🏻‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳) brings you behind the scenes for a shared evening of storytelling, getting your hands dirty (that’s right, we’ll have you participate in creating a portion of the meal!), and experiencing the flavors that shape LA from our POV as Thai American chefs. Each seating is kept purposely small—just 12 guests—so we can cook together, connect deeply, and gather around the table over dishes inspired by the immigrant communities that shape our city, honored with Thai sensibilities.⁠

01/29/2026

Named “a standout dish that reflects Andy’s upbringing” (here’s looking at you, Dad) by LA Times food critic Bill Addison, this dish started as a special and earned its place on our permanent menu nearly two years ago.⁠
⁠
𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘱 𝘗𝘢𝘥 𝘗𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘒𝘢𝘳𝘪: We make ours with succulent shrimp stir-fried in curry powder, chili paste, cream, egg, white onion, green onion, red bell pepper, and Chinese celery and served with your choice of jasmine or brown rice. 🍤 Though Thai cuisine is most often enjoyed family style, this is one you’ll be wanting to finish off yourself!

Mama doesn’t miss!! 🎯 ⁠
⁠
From teaching us to cook and run a business, to still womanning the curry station, to recommending Ayara faves, to taking ballroom dancing classes in the downtime that we’re forcing on her (IYKYK). You read that right! She told us catching these dishes felt like dancing the cha-cha. 💃

01/08/2026

Let’s face it, we’re never cutting carbs. 😋⁠
⁠
Thai food is actually an extraordinarily healthful cuisine because it’s balanced by design: noodles and rice provide energy, a mix of proteins provides fuel, high vegetable content provides fiber, and herbs aid in digestion and creating a varied gut biome . . . and that doesn’t even get into the micronutrient support. Somehow it does all that and still feels rich and comforting.⁠
⁠
Thai food forever goodbye. ✌️

01/01/2026

Stick a fork in it (just not a chopstick, very bad form)—2025 is done! ⁠
⁠
Thank you for continuing to support this mom & pop business into her adulthood as we celebrated 21 years this past August; for bolstering us sisters, Vanda and Cathy, as we nurture our family’s restaurant into its second act; and for ordering Pad Thai nearly 24k times! Swipe through for a look back on some of your favorites and ours this year.

12/30/2025

We’re always the first to say the awards that mean the most to us are the local ones and the ones voted on or bestowed by our guests and community . . . but as 2025 comes to a close we’d be remiss to not acknowledge that recognitions like this matter too. ⁠
⁠
Being included in the for the sixth year in a row and receiving our Bib Gourmand in 2019 is something we hold with equal parts pride and perspective. None of this happens without the people who choose to eat with us week after week, our team who delivers excellence and hospitality, our parents who had a dream and entrusted us to carry it forward, and the inspectors who see the intention behind what we do and take the time to check out our ex*****on. ⁠
⁠
So thank you. For supporting a family restaurant built by immigrants, for supporting women owned, and for acknowledging that we serve from the heart. We do accept this recognition, like any, with pride!
