OBAO Noodles & BBQ

OBAO, which opened in 2009, introduces “Modern Thai” to New York City, sharing influences from neighboring Vietnamese cuisine to create a unique New Asian palate. Nobody is on the edge of innovative culinary concepts like OBAO, blending the best of Thai and Vietnamese ingredients to invigorate a modern approach to Asian Cuisine. OBAO earned a rating by the highly acclaimed Michelin Bib Gourmand consecutively in 2011 and 2012.

OBAO Water Street, which opened in October 2011, is the fast casual extension of the flagship OBAO in Midtown. OBAO Water Street offers the same Modern Thai cuisine to those downtown and focuses on bringing its Financial District neighbors authentic Thai and Vietnamese food simply and with no fuss.

Founded in 2009, Chace Restaurant Group continues to build its roster of restaurants. Among OBAO and OBAO Water Street are Spot Dessert Bar, Social Eatz and Ember Room. These restaurants, combined with the experience of co-owners Ace Watanasuparp and Chatchai “Chai” Huadwattanna create a brand that is unique and memorable.
