Eathai: Chef Sopanut Sopochana's Elevated Thai Kitchen Comes to Boca Raton

Eathai moved to North Federal Highway in Boca Raton after nine successful years running its original Delray Beach location, bringing chef Sopanut Sopochana — known to regulars as Chef So — and his Thai Select-honored cooking north along Federal Highway.

Fried Chicken Three Ways and Massaman Curry

The signature dish is Fried Chicken Three Ways, served with a choice of Yum Yum dry rub, chili-honey sauce, or garlic fish sauce, showing the kitchen's range across a single protein. The menu also runs through a slow-cooked chicken massaman curry built with pineapple, red potatoes, and peanuts, a well-seasoned sausage fried rice, and both traditional and "Skinny" pad Thai preparations with tamarind sauce, egg, and peanuts. Taro ice cream and pudding close the menu on a subtly sweet, distinctly Thai note rather than a Western dessert.

An Elevated, Family-Friendly Dining Room

Chef Sopochana's Thai Select recognition — a designation given to restaurants abroad recognized for authentic Thai cuisine — carries through in a dining room built to feel polished without losing its welcome for families. The Boca Raton move follows nearly a decade building a following in Delray Beach, and the kitchen has kept its emphasis on technique and authenticity rather than simplifying the menu for a new address.

Good to Know

Eathai is located at 6299 N Federal Hwy, Boca Raton, FL 33487. For elevated Thai cooking from an award-recognized chef, it's worth seeking out on Federal Highway.
