Chef John Sungkamee

Emporium Thai has been voted as the Top 100 Best Thai Restaurants in the US. Founded in 2000 by John Sungkamee, a visionary with a deep appreciation for his Thai heritage as he grew up with his 11 siblings in Southern Thailand. John, a seasoned entrepreneur, recognized the untapped potential of bringing the authentic flavors of his homeland to Los Angeles. 

John mentioned “Supis Sungkamee, our 88 year-old mom, bore 12 children in Southern Thailand and instilled in us a passion for authentic Thai cooking. In 1990, she won a lottery for a U.S. green card which allowed our family to become US immigrants and eventually US citizens. We are blessed and grateful to be able to share our family’s recipes. Emporium Thai has become a favorite destination for those who appreciate fine Thai cuisine. We made Mom proud!”
