About us

Sawasdee Krab and welcome to Khao Sen, where every dish tells a story of home, family, and the vibrant flavors of Thailand.

The name Khao Sen comes from the Thai words for rice (khao) and noodles (sen)—two of the most essential staples of Thai cuisine. Our restaurant celebrates these traditions through a menu inspired by authentic Thai cooking and the comforting meals shared in homes throughout Thailand. Owners Paul and Sara created Khao Sen with a passion for sharing the flavors, warmth, and hospitality that define Thai dining.

Located in the heart of Fuquay-Varina, Khao Sen brings together authentic Thai food, fresh ingredients, and bold flavors in a welcoming neighborhood setting. Our menu highlights beloved Thai dishes such as Pad See Ew, Khao Soi, Pad Kee Mao, Tom Yum and savory dishes, each prepared with care using traditional techniques and time-honored recipes passed down through generations.

At Khao Sen, we invite you to experience the comforting aromas and vibrant flavors that make Thai cuisine so special. Whether you’re enjoying a bowl of noodles in savory broth, savoring a fragrant stir-fry, or sharing dishes with friends and family, every meal reflects our dedication to authenticity and quality.
