The New Bangkok Tasty is Open

I mentioned last week that Bangkok Tasty is expanding and now they're officially open. How exciting! I walked by and saw that it has completely transformed into a modern Thai restaurant with funky decor and a pleasant atmosphere. The tables are sleek and the lighting is interesting--now the only thing left to try is the food, which I heard was good. The newly designed menu looks great and I encourage you to take a peek at it. I'll be checking it out soon and will follow-up with a review. The prices seem modest, as is the case with most Thai restaurants.
