In June, What Now Denver reported the opening of Aloy Thai Eatery at 211 E 7th Ave Denver, CO 80203, asserting that the fast-casual concept would open in late July. However, a commercial construction permit filed on September 28 regarding the project still reads as follows:
“Tenant Improvement of a 1,180 SF space that was previously a restaurant into a new restaurant concept. There will be a new hood and makeup air unit, kitchen renovation, and minor interior changes.”
The recent permit created confusion, as Google lists the establishment as “Temporarily Closed,” implying ATE had previously debuted.
That said, What Now Denver caught up with Mui Fisher, regional manager and business partner, to better understand the permit’s contents, sort out the confusing details, and obtain updates on Aloy’s progress.
Fisher graciously informed us, “While Google shows that we are ‘temporarily closed,’ we actually haven’t [even] opened yet. Unfortunately, Google doesn’t provide a ‘coming soon’ option. Aloy Thai Eatery is still under construction because we have to build a full kitchen from our old tenant which was a sandwich shop. Hopefully, we can have our grand opening in…late October.”
“Aloy Thai Eatery differs from its sister restaurants, Aloy Thai Cuisine (Boulder) and Aloy Modern Thai (Denver), with its focus on a fast-casual setting, delivery, and take out,” What Now Denver previously reported. “The new eatery’s menu will include the top 20 best sellers from both their Boulder and Denver locations, optional customizable plates made to order, and a lower price point.”
Owner Kim Naka grew up in Bangkok’s Chinatown neighborhood before coming to America with her two daughters and opening Boulder’s Aloy Thai in 2006.
Fisher has high hopes for the establishment, detailing the company’s goal of eventually being regarded as the Chipotle or Panda Express of fast-casual Thai food.
