This Virtual Kitchen Offers Authentic Thai Dishes for Pick-Up and Delivery

Thai food is a staple in Denver, and there are a lot of places where you can find it. What makes Khan Toke Authentic Thai stand out, however, is included right in its name: authenticity.

Jonathan Konsila owns the restaurant, which operates as a ghost kitchen out of the ChefReady facility at 1468 South Cherokee Street. The setup was his most affordable option when starting the business, which he runs alongside his wife and brother as well as his parents, who are from Thailand.

Konsila's journey into the food industry began in Washington, D.C., over a decade ago, when he worked at a Thai joint in Chinatown until the pandemic hit. That prompted him to move away from the area, first to Montana and later to the Denver area. “[My wife] used to visit Colorado about eight years ago,” Konsila recalls. “She’s the one who decided we were coming to Colorado.”
