OUR MISSION

Kothai Republic’s flavorful menu isn’t tied to a specific region, but is instead a modern interpretation of Asian cuisine through the lens of the first-generation SF native chef and our entire kitchen staff. Using as many local ingredients as possible, all elements, from the kimchi to the sauces, are house made. We aim to nourish, delight, and bring goodness to our community. Kothai Republic serves really good food made by people that genuinely care.

 

Let us be a positive part of your day!

Modern Asian cooking inspired by Korean and Thai flavors

Our Story

Welcome to KoThai Republic. We are located in the Inner Sunset district of San Francisco along the vibrant ninth avenue corridor. The mission here is to serve our interpretation of modern Asian cuisine. We are unapologetically “Asian Fusion” drawing inspiration from Korean and Thai flavors. Our goal for every dish is to create something new, and at the same time incorporate something familiar. Memories of food are remembered by points of reference. A dish that mom cooked at home when you were a child, standing next to grandmother as she stirred the pot, the first bite from a Michelin starred establishment..….. these are everlasting reference points. We hope that something within each of our dishes brings to mind one of these memories or perhaps creates a new one for future food experiences. Our small close knit team works diligently everyday to present the best possible experience for every guest. Kitchen life is hard and exhausting, however nothing keeps our team motivated more than the
smile of our guests and “compliments to the crew”. Come by and allow us the opportunity to show the product of our work. See you soon!!
