About Us

Kob Jai's fueled passion and motivation to bring the world's most striking dishes and distinctive cultures of Thailand and Laos to share with the US, marked the birth of Kob Jai, a unique Laotian and Thai restaurant serving Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach and Port Orange in Volusia since 2007. In a short period of time, Kob Jai's reputation for their one of a kind platters and exquisite tastes expanded exponentially and presently, customers from different cities of Florida have stopped by to experience the "taste." Kob Jai's environment is set to welcome diners to explore the exotic worlds of both Thai and Lao cultures and indulge in the most mouthwatering cuisines both countries have to offer. Kob Jai, a word that means "Thank you" in both Thai and Lao languages, is a very common and polite way to express gratitude, which both cultures are world renown for, along with being the most courteous and hospitable people in the world. Kob Jai can be accompanied with a "wai" (two hands placed together with palms touching and raised to the face with a forward head tilt), to express deeper gratitude. The "wai" can also be accompanied by a "Sabaidee" (hello in Lao) or "Sawatdee" (hello in Thai) as a formal way of greeting.

Tastes of Kob Jai

Kob Jai Restaurant of Holly Hill offers Thai and Laotian cuisines that are known for their various uses of distinctive spices and herbs, along with adding the perfect touch of aroma to bring excitement to the pallets of Thai food aficionados. In both cultures, cuisine is considered a big part of the day and also a big part of life. One who can cook exceptionally well is considered one of great worth (or with good karma), hence, even many centuries back, cooking was an art that many strove to perfect. In present time, Kob Jai is setting a new curve to the unparalleled Thai and Laotian cuisines.

Kob Jai's menu ranges from platters that have distinguished flavors, for example, the Pumpkin Curry is a smooth curry dish with a dense, flavorful taste that excites the taste buds. Another must try is the Pineapple Curry, an extraordinary delight and is a dish that most people savor to the last drop.
