Kin Kao

Kin Kao is a 25-seat Thai restaurant that chef Tang Phoonchai, his wife, Min, and Terrence Feng opened in Vancouver, British Columbia. They enlisted Scott & Scott Architects to build out a 750-square-foot space who in turn contracted RBM Builders to outfit the minimalist space. Using affordable finishes and a vivid wash of blue, the space celebrates ordinary materials and simple details which are light hearted and familiar, much like the Thai street and homestyle dished which inspired the menu.
