Construction is finally done and we are just waiting for all the inspections to complete. Our sign is not up yet so we’ve put up a temporary sign until the real sign comes. Once we get the inspection, we will start taste testing our food and soon everyone will be able to enjoy some delicious Thai food delivered to you!
Welcome to Thai2Go!

The kitchen ready to make the best Thai food you’ll ever put in your mouth!
With construction nearing complete, we look forward to all the inspections we’ll need to get this place open and running. Of course this means, major changes to the restaurant as we bring in chairs and tables, computers, TVs, etc. Keep coming back as we’ll have pictures of the restaurant with chairs and tables soon!
Today, our granite countertops are being installed. It makes the counter look a whole lot better. I was also able to get a shot of my GC in the pic. He’s always running around like crazy. If you’re ever looking for a contractor, this is the guy to see. Contact me and I’ll give you his number.
The vent shaft is also near completion. It looks like a huge robotic tentical from the sky! Take a look and you’ll see what I mean.
I could probably use it as an escape chute.
Our equipment is also coming in gradually. We did have some issues with the size of one table as all the cooking equipment must be under the hood. We had to get a smaller table to accomodate the lack of space under the hood but everything worked out so far. Check it out and let me know what you guys think.
This is where the magic happens.
This week the lighting for the front came in and it looks pretty cool. My favorite are the ones lining the front of the restaurant overlooking the bar tables. The ceiling fan was also installed inside the “halo”. I was able to describe to my GC what type of lighting I wanted and he picked them out for me. I like them!
I’ve posted some pictures below. Please let me know what you think!

The counter now has lights which are pretty cool. Unfortunately, if Dirk were to ever visit he’d be staring straight into these bad boys.

These are my favorite of all the lights.
Now that we have all the approvals in place our construction team has gone full speed! I went in to take a picture of the place this morning and already there were a couple of workers working on the vent hood system for the kitchen. The ice machine was also delivered. It’s gigantic!
Here’s a picture of the machine:
Then I stopped by during lunch and found over 10 workers doing several things on the place. Cable, internet, phone lines, lights all being worked on. Also the counter was installed. Take a look and let me know what you think!
So we finally added some more color to the place. I did a little modification to the original plan and I think this should be it for painting the place. The brown helped keep the green from burning your eyes off! I wish I could take some pictures of the bathroom but it’s dark in there and the flash really makes the room look weird. The contractor thought I loved green so much, he painted my office the same green. Now when I’m in my office I’ll be staring at a wall of green! So take a look and let me know what you guys think of the place.
We’re still on track to open in May. Keep your fingers crossed!
So this week, the restaurant was painted and tiled. Now I know what you are saying. This place is all green. It’s not supposed to be this way. There’s some brown in there but they haven’t painted it yet. Supposedly that’s going to happen tomorrow so stay tuned for the additional colors. You can see a little of the what the brown if you look careful enough. Please tell me what you think. I think you’ll either love it or hate it. LOL
This is the front of the restaurant. Nothing much to see yet but our coming soon sign.
