Khao Thai owner is back with new restaurant Thai Taste Cuisine in Millcreek Township

Tatsinipan King, former owner of Khao Thai, 36 North Park Row, is back in town and she has a new restaurant to show off.

She opened Thai Taste Cuisine at 35 Peninsula Drive on Monday.

"It went very good," she said of the opening of the new establishment, located near Sara's just outside Presque Isle State Park.

Since closing her restaurant on Perry Square and spending some time opening another restaurant in the Florida Keys, she and her husband, Brian King, have moved back to Erie, and he is now an information technology worker for the city of Erie.

Her son, Anthony King, who is attending Mercyhurst University, is helping her in his spare time, but for now she's doing the cooking, the serving and the owning.

King's sister, Suputchanok Homchum, is also here helping her open the restaurant, but she will soon leave to return to the Florida Keys and operate their restaurant there.

What's on the menu?

"We specialize in Kung Pao chicken, donkey noodles, pad thai and drunken noodles," King, 50, said. "All the food is good and homemade."
