Manaow Thai

Bangkok is a city made up of migrants from different regions in Thailand who bring with them their local food and eating practices. Streets and avenues of Bangkok bustle with food vendors who cater to a variety of tastes and lifestyles and simply focus on specialty dishes, such as sate, kao soi, or som tom. The city permeates with the aromas of spices and fresh herbs from street stalls and hole-in-the-wall restaurants. Manaow brings you flavors and dining experiences from Bangkok through our snacks, simple one plate meals, and shared entrees. Please enjoy!

Opened in July 2014, Manaow is a contemporary and casual neighborhood restaurant situated in an unassuming strip mall in Belmont Heights, Long Beach. It is the result of a close collaboration between mother-daughter team, Nitaya and Parichart Pungauthaikan.
