Ft. Mill taste buds.... (Rock Hill, Fort Mill: house, neighborhood, live)

My husband and I are new to the area and was wondering how a Tasty Thai restaurant would be perceived?...

If it is a good, authentic Thai restaurant I would go there often if it were on my side of town. There is not Thai here yet - we need to go to Rock Hill for it now. I do not count the Chinese and Red Bowl restaurants as Thai, those are a joke when it comes to that cuisine.
I have commented on this site often on how this is something we need in the area.

As rdub1968 stated above, if the Thai restaurant were good, I think it would go over well. My husband and I used to go to a wonderful Thai restaurant on a weekly basis when we lived in Atlanta. I'm not familiar with Tasty Thai. Is it a franchise restaurant?

I, personally, would be more likely to frequent a locally owned Thai restaurant in Fort Mill than a chain.

I think GOOD food will succeed here. Thai, Chinese, Inidian - whatever. There aren't a lot of good, family friendly places in the area.

I noticed you asked in another thread about the new shopping center on Springfield Parkway, there is a Asian fusion/Sushi type restaurant going in there. Might not be a great spot for a Thai place. There would be plenty of other great locations though.

I hope it's not another chain - especially for Thai. Last thing I want to see in a Thai restaurant is a bunch of white kids cooking my meals.

There is a really good Thai place in Rock Hill - Sila - so it would take a lot for me to switch.

There's a Tasty Thai place in Charlotte near where I work that is always packed at lunchtime.

[rdub1968]

How is it though? McDonalds is also always packed at lunchtime. Is it somewhat authentic or Americanized?

*lol* True. I've heard good things about it. And I take it back - it's not called Tasty Thai. It's called Thai Taste.

There is a great Thai restaurant in Tower Place plaza in Pineville. Thai House and there's also a good Indian place, Bombay Grill is right next door. I've heard there's another really good Thai restaurant in the Blakeney neighborhood; Rea Road & Ardrey Kell.
