WICHITA — Sit @ Thai Express is back open.
The restaurant, which is in the former Taco Shop space on Central near Oliver, closed last month due to what owner Nikki Phumsawarng called management problems.
She says she has now bought out a partner and has made some changes.
Phumsawarng also has Sit @ Thai Bistro on 21st Street near Ridge Road. That restaurant, which is larger than the Express version, opened in 2009.
Next week, Phumsawarng plans to open a drive-through at the Express restaurant.
She’s also adding new items to her menu, and everything will be made fresh to order.
That means ready-made meals at the counter will no longer be available.
“The whole concept has changed,” Phumsawarng says.
“It’s very interesting now.”

“They cannot improve for me . . . so we decided to close.”

WICHITA — Sit @ Thai Bistro owner Nikki Phumsawarng is opening her second restaurant today.
Sit @ Thai Express is in the former Taco Shop space on Central near Oliver.
Phumsawarng opened her first restaurant in 2009 on 21st Street near Ridge Road.
The new one will be open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., except Sundays when it will be closed.
The mostly take-out restaurant also will have seating for about 20 inside.
A patio will open next week, and Phumsawarng says a drive-through is her next project after that.
