"The cucumber salad that comes with the satay chicken is worth tasting all by itself. The peanut sauce is one like I've never tasted before."

Catering the Garvin-Harris Wedding. . . Scrumptious Food for a Cute Couple!

Sara and Ryan on their special day!

Several weeks ago, Sara and her friend visited our restaurant during a trip to Lincoln City.  After enjoying our Chicken Satay and Grilled Halibut Curry for dinner, they not only raved about the food, but surprised us with a terrific idea:  Would we be willing to cater Sara's wedding reception in a few weeks at Lincoln City's picturesque Connie Hansen Garden?

We told Sara that we would, of course, be honored to play a part in her special day.  Executive Chef Patana Kaplan worked with her to come up with the perfect menu.

Family Dinners About More Than Just Food

Perhaps now is the time to make time for dinner as a family.

In his farewell address to the nation, President Ronald Reagan notably remarked, “All great change in America begins at the dinner table.”  It wasn’t until we opened Andaman Thai Cuisine that I began to truly understand what President Reagan might have meant.

Walk into our restaurant any night of the week and along with the sweet and pleasing aromas of lemongrass, cilantro, kaffir lime leaves, Thai basil, and fresh mint, you’ll see an encouraging sight:  kids and parents of all backgrounds sitting down, as families, to enjoy dinner together.
