ABOUT Mah Kin

At Mah Kin, the heart of our mission is simple: to share the bold, comforting flavors of authentic Thai food with our Chattanooga, TN, community. The name "Mah Kin" comes from a casual Thai phrase meaning "come eat"—a warm invitation spoken between family and friends. That same spirit defines every part of our Thai restaurant, where meals are more than just food; they're an experience full of love, culture, and connection. Our menu brings together the rich culinary diversity of Thailand's four regions. Guests can enjoy the balanced flavors of Central Thai classics like Pad Thai and green curry, the tangy spice of Northeast dishes like larb, or the Southern heat of coconut-based specialties.

From comforting bowls of Tom Yum soup to crowd-pleasers like Thai fried rice and savory Thai noodles, each dish is made using time-honored recipes and fresh ingredients. For dessert, the sweet and creamy mango sticky rice offers the perfect ending to your meal. This is more than just a place to eat; it's a space where stories are shared, and cultures come alive. As a women-owned and operated business, we take pride in offering an inclusive environment with vegetarian-friendly and gluten-free options. Round out your experience with a refreshing glass of boba tea, made fresh to order. From the first bite to the last sip, Mah Kin is your invitation to eat, connect, and experience the vibrant taste of Thailand right here in Chattanooga. Visit us today and savor the authentic flavors that will keep you coming back for more!
