Khao House - Winnipeg

I absolutely love this place! The food is incredible—it's a must-try! I always start with the kalapao; the chili oil they serve with it is fantastic. The spring rolls are consistently on point, and I appreciate how they frequently update the menu. I recently tried their fried chicken, and it was exactly what I didn't know I was missing in my life. The owners are friendly and lovable, and the service is always quick.

Since we were planning a summer wedding, we wanted something light and fresh that would still satisfy our guests and keep them energized for dancing later. Khao House truly delivered, and their pricing was surprisingly reasonable—honestly, I felt like they could have charged more! They served naem khao (herbed rice wrapped in lettuce), a cold noodle salad with tomatoes, edamame, greens, crispy noodles, and sesame dressing, as well as a warm mixed dish. Our guests couldn't get enough; they were raving about the food and asking where they could get more, even those who typically prefer "meat and potatoes!" The dishes were unique but not overwhelmingly so, allowing our more traditional guests to enjoy this new culinary experience. Korene was fantastic to work with—friendly, thoughtful, and incredibly eager to personalize our service. We couldn't have asked for a better caterer! Even if you don’t have an event to plan, you must visit them at 625 Portage Ave. Thank you, Korene and Randy, for the delicious food. Please keep doing what you do best!

I absolutely love her fried chicken sandwich – it's the best chicken burger in the city! The combination of flavors is fantastic, and the texture is amazing. The service is fast and friendly, and the workspace is visibly clean. It's also conveniently located for students. While it is a bit pricey, the quality of the ingredients definitely makes it worth it. This is definitely my favorite sandwich!

Best fried chicken sandwich ever! Everything else I’ve had from the menu is also really tasty and well-balanced. I was disappointed when they closed on Sherbrook but I really appreciate that they’re able to offer something more interesting (but equally satisfying) than your standard bar food.

Love the pork ramen..... Great little hole in the wall that has a bar connected to it. Bands will play on the small stage some nights. The pinball machine and arcade are a novel touch. Highly recommend this place on a cold night.
