Baramee Thai Bistro

Baramee Thai Bistro is Chef Nutnisa Hoffman’s Northeastern Thai restaurant in the Crossroads, opened January 2019. Nutnisa grew up near Bangkok (family owned a restaurant there), moved to Kansas City with her husband Doug, and opened Mali Thai Bistro in Lee’s Summit in 2015 before bringing a Crossroads concept to Baltimore Avenue. The menu draws from Isaan (Northeastern Thai) traditions: laab, sticky rice, papaya salad, tom yum. Fresh produce sourced from City Market and local farms.

Description

Baramee Thai Bistro is Chef Nutnisa Hoffman’s window into Northeastern (Isaan) Thai cooking — a regional tradition rarely seen in Kansas City before she brought it to the Crossroads in January 2019. Nutnisa grew up near Bangkok, where her family owned a restaurant, but never planned to join the business until she emigrated to Kansas City with her husband Doug and found herself missing the food she’d grown up cooking. The couple opened Mali Thai Bistro in Lee’s Summit in 2015, then Baramee in the Crossroads four years later with a more specific regional focus. Fresh produce comes from the City Market and local farms. The menu centers on Isaan staples — laab (herb-forward minced meat salad), sticky rice, papaya salad, tom yum soup — alongside curries and the kitchen’s acclaimed Tiger Cry Beef with a housemade chile sauce. The Pitch named the Pad Key Maw (Drunken Noodles) a must-order.

Last verified: 2026-08-13 · Sources: prices from the official online-ordering menu (orderbarameethai.com — Menufy/HungerRush storefront)¹; dish descriptions from the restaurant’s own downloadable dine-in menu PDF, BarameeThaiBistro_Menu_2025.pdf, linked from barameethaibistro.com² · menu_status: verified · Confidence: High (both sources first-party; prices re-checked against the live storefront 2026-08-13 and unchanged).

Source reconciliation note. The ordering storefront and the PDF use different labels for the same dishes; where a description is attached below, the two sources match on sequence, section and price. Storefront “Egg Roll” = PDF “Crispy Spring Rolls”; “SR Deluxe” = “Spring Roll Deluxe”; “Platter” = “Baramee Thai Platter”; “Calamari” = “Golden Calamari”; “Wings” = “Baramee Thai Wings”; “Garlic” = “Garlic and Pepper”; “Green Bean” = “Green Bean Chicken”; “Pad Pak” = “Pad Pak Rom”; “Cashew” = “Thai Cashew Nuts”; “Ka Prao” = “Pad Ka Prao”; “Laab” = “Labb Salad”. Items carrying no description below are ones the operator publishes name-and-price only (Fresh Shrimp Roll, both pot stickers, Beef Broccoli, Rad Naa, all sides and fountain/bubble drinks) — nothing has been supplied from outside these two sources. Two PDF prices differ from the live storefront (PDF: Thai Noodle Soup base $15.99, Rad Na Talay $24.99); the storefront figures are carried here as the current ones.
