Kham Koon Thai Restaurant & Lunch Buffet, an all-you-can-eat Thai buffet in Lafayette formerly known as Mimi's Fresh Asian Cuisine, has announced it will close. November 20 is the restaurant's last day in business, and the lunch buffet and regular menu will remain available until then.
Why it matters
The closure removes a Thai buffet option from the Lafayette dining scene, a restaurant that offered a rotating selection of authentic Thai dishes at its lunch buffet. The owners said they plan to retire and spend their time traveling.
The restaurant is located at 607 Kaliste Saloom Road and will close after serving through November 20, 2026. The announcement did not include sales figures or details about the building's future use.

Timeline
November 10, 2026: Closure announced.
November 20, 2026: Last day in business.
Local Dining Shift
The closure follows the earlier change from Mimi's Fresh Asian Cuisine to Kham Koon Thai Restaurant & Lunch Buffet at the same Kaliste Saloom Road location, showing how a single restaurant space can cycle through different concepts. Lafayette diners lose one of the Thai buffet options the restaurant had provided under its newer name.
Diners who regularly eat at the Kham Koon lunch buffet will need to find another Thai buffet in Lafayette before November 20. The closure takes effect on a fixed date, so those planning a last visit should go before that day.
The takeaway
Readers who want to visit the Kham Koon lunch buffet should plan a meal before the restaurant closes on November 20, 2026. Checking the restaurant's current hours before going is a practical step given the fixed closing date.
What happens next
The restaurant's last day in business is November 20, 2026, when the lunch buffet and regular menu end.
