The Yang family opened their first Thai restaurant in Farmington Hills about five years ago. When they decided to expand, they took their time looking around Michigan for the perfect location.
"We felt
Downtown Lansing had a homey feeling, a community feeling," said Lisa Yang. "With it being the state capitol and having so any businesses downtown, we knew it would be the right place."
Thai Village opened on the 400-block of Washington Square on Monday with a ribbon cutting. The 2,000 square foot restaurant will feature dine-in for about 50 customers, as well as catering and carry out. According to Yang, customers will first note the freshness of the food at Thai Village.
"My parents shop for food and vegetables daily," says Yang. "All of our food is really fresh."
Yang's parents, Steve and Marie Yang are the owners of both family businesses. They will employ approximately 10 local employees.
"We're just excited," says Yang. "I think overall, this is the best place we could be."
