Our Thai House
Serving up tasty Thai dishes at their Spokane and Coeur d’Alene locations, Our Thai House brings the authentic tastes of owner Pat’s native homeland to her new home here in the Pacific Northwest. After moving to the United States in 2001, she spent years sharing her authentic Thai cooking with friends, family, and coworkers at the high-end day spa, where she worked hard as one of the most requested masseurs.
As more and more people began to fall for her food, she started hosting some cooking classes and catering the occasional dinner for private gatherings. Eventually, her dreams would come true with the opening of Our Thai House in 2017. It has since become a go-to spot for delectable Thai cuisine, with a diverse variety of menu options made using the freshest ingredients and Pat’s perfected recipes, including spring rolls, noodles, fried rice, and an array of flavorful curries.
