At Smoking Goat, we bring the bold, vibrant flavors of Thailand to life through our open-fire barbecue, serving up dishes inspired by the street food of Bangkok and the laab stalls of northern Thailand. Our dynamic menu changes daily, reflecting our close relationships with exceptional local farmers and suppliers, as well as our passion for creativity and innovation.

We are a busy and fast-paced restaurant with a focus on quality, collaboration, and fun.
