Gasthaus space gives way to All Thai’d Up

Four spicy Thai condiments to fire up your fare.

Wait! What? There’s a Thai restaurant in the space that housed the German restaurant Gasthaus for nearly 30 years!?

Yep, and the new arrival, All Thai’d Up, is a good Thai eatery, too. Still, it came as a surprise with Gasthaus announced its departure in a social media post in May 2022.

The owners, it said, decided to take an early retirement, “but hope that someone with the enthusiasm and love for the German culture will step in and take over the Gasthaus.”

That hope didn’t work out, leaving Louisville, despite the city’s Germanic heritage, without a single authentic German eatery, and none in sight.

But All Thai’d Up, which started life as a popular food truck and added a small downtown bricks-and-mortar presence, migrated east to fill the vacant Brownsboro Center space this past July,

The transition from Bavaria to Thailand went surprisingly smoothly, given what a project it must have been to convert Gasthaus’s Bavarian vibe featuring German knickknacks and a simulated white-stone Alpine village to a new Southeast Asian tropical look with Thai knickknacks and simulated thatched-roof beach huts.

Here’s the good news, though: Just as Gasthaus offered tasty German food in a cozy atmosphere and attentive service, All Thai’d up offers tasty Thai food in a cozy atmosphere with attentive service. The food and mood may have flipped to the other side of the world, but it’s still a pleasant and relaxing place to enjoy a good meal.

As noted, the loss of Gasthaus is a blow and a coup de grace to German food in the city, at least for the time being.

But it sounds like All thai'd up has matched the quality of that location. Kudos to those folks and may they enjoy a sustained success in their new home.
