The partner's word

Established in 2004, Ayara Thai is a family-run restaurant founded by the Asapahu family that translates home-cooked Thai traditions for dining out. Andy has learned cooking and business skills from his mother in Bangkok’s Samsen District, and Anna has brought Northern Thai, homegrown-produce traditions from Lampang; the third generation has developed those family recipes further. The restaurant emphasizes sustainable dining and seasonal sourcing, has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand (2019), appears in the Michelin Guide 2020–2025, is included on the LA Times "15 Best Thai Restaurants" list (2025), and holds additional industry recognitions and certifications. Ayara’s identity rests on a multigenerational family story, the revival of heirloom recipes, and a commitment to high-quality seasonal ingredients. Ayara focuses on chef-driven, traditional Thai cooking built on recipes passed down through generations. The kitchen prepares each dish from scratch, enhances plates individually with herbs and spices to preserve bold, genuine flavors, and blends authentic Thai and Thai-Chinese flavors with Southern California influences. Vanda Asapahu is Head Chef and Managing Owner; she has spent four years living and working in Thailand to revive old family dishes and discover new inspirations. Specialties include Ayara Thai sauces and cooking kits and family-recipe dishes revived from Bangkok and northern Thailand. Pastry is led by Cathy, who combines French technique with Thai flavors to produce Thai pastries infused with that technique.
