Lao Teng Thai Kitchen | Our Story

Simple bites, big memories

Simple bites, big memories

Lao Teng Thai Kitchen is a modern Thai-Chinese street food concept in Bend, OR. We believe everyday food can be both honest and unforgettable.

Roots in hospitality

We came up through world-class hotel hospitality, where good food was never enough and every guest should leave with a lasting impression. That's how we think about a bowl of chicken rice: it should look right, taste right, and stay with you after the meal.
The dish at our heart

The dish at our heart

Khao Man Gai, Thainanese chicken rice, is the dish that defines Lao Teng. It's rooted in the street food of Bangkok, where a single plate can stay in your memory for years, and we make it with care.
