After 3 years of offering superb mouth watering Thai dishes to its Yaletown clientele Desmond Chen has decided to close CHARM Modern Thai. Yaletown still offers fabulous Thai cuisine at Urban Thai Bistro located at 1119 Hamilton Street.
(Vancouver, BC) November 14, 2011 – Desmond Chen, announced today that Charm Modern Thai has been sold. The restaurant’s last day of service was Sunday November 13, 2011. The new owners take over on November 16 and the room will reopen on a later date with a totally different concept.
“It’s hard to believe that it was only three years ago that I opened CHARM Modern Thai,” said Desmond Chen. “Although located on a notoriously difficult stretch of Hamilton Street, we developed a loyal following. Although the restaurant was not on the market, the new owners recognized CHARM’s success as an asset and they presented an excellent offer and quick completion.”
Key staff and management from CHARM will find employment within the Thai House Restaurant Group. CHARM executive chef Samnan Kamonroek will make the move to Pink Elephant Thai joining chef Parichat Poomkajorn in turning out traditional Thai favourites and innovative Thai creations.
