Khao House

We never imagined serving Asian fusion at our wedding but we are so thrilled that we did! We initially sampled several more traditional and BBQ style dishes from several caterers in Winnipeg and surrounding areas but we didn’t feel like anything was worth the price that was being charged and/or the food made us feel rather heavy afterwards. We had several older guests that were very much the classic ‘meat and potatoes’ type so it was important to satisfy everyone. Since we were anticipating a hot summer wedding, we wanted something light and fresh while still satisfying our guests’ bellies and making them feel great to dance the night away afterwards. Well Khao House nailed it and the price was more than right, I actually feel like they should have charged more! They served naem khao (crispy coconut rice with lettuce wraps), somen noodle salad (cold noodle w/ tomato, edamame, greens, crispy noodle, sesame dressing), warm miso potato salad (w/ corn, bacon and snap peas), Chinese BBQ chicken (5 spiced with hoisin sauce, grilled green onion and herbs), and for a vegetarian option they served stuffed portabella mushrooms. Guests are still raving about the food and asking where they can buy more, even the ‘meat and potato’ eaters! It was unique but not so over the top that more traditional guests still enjoy the new experience, in fact, they’re amongst the new customers of Khao House! Korene was amazing and easy to work with! She is kind, thoughtful, and put a lot of effort to personalize the service. We couldn’t have hired a better caterer! Even if you don’t have an event to book, you gotta try their food, check them out at The Good Will 625 Portage Ave. Thank you Korene and Randy, you two make delicious food, never stop!

Came here for lunch during the week, the atmosphere was relaxing and the service was good. We had the best iced coffee! The pho and steamed buns were delicious. Will definitely come back!

Love the menu, service and drinks. This listing says they don’t have alcohol, but they do! Try the Caesar :) cheese and noodles and kalapao are our favourite dishes.

So tasty. They understand ramen- tasty and complex savoury broth, and nice firm and chewy noodles.

I've had a few other items as well, including the pork buns, and other specials. Always a tasty treat coming here!

Be sure to ask about the homemade ice cream- always unique!

Late last year I heard a lot of talk about a new restaurant opening up on South Sherbrook Street. It was a small little place without many seats that would be serving Asian Fusian cuisine. The name of the place was Khao House. The first time I tried to visit happened to be at a time when they were closed between lunch and dinner, there was a note explaining that service had been so large, that they needed to replenish before opening for dinner. So, I took note of the hours and decided to come back at a later time.
