The Chelsea Thai signage is up on 1st Avenue

As you can see, the sign has arrived at the incoming Chelsea Thai, set to debut this spring at 192-194 First Ave. between 11th Street and 12th Street.

In January, the quick-serve restaurant closed its small space of nearly 20 years in the Chelsea Market ahead of a move here. No opening date announced yet for First Avenue.

This Instagram post from January 2017 has more about the Chelsea Thai owner, Saruj Nimkarn...

Meet the owner of Chelsea Thai at Chelsea Market. Saruj Nimkarn is the founder,owner and head chef of Chelsea Thai. He grew up in Bangkok Thailand and came to the US when he was a teenager. He then decided that he wanted to bring a taste of his home to the states and opened up this restaurant so he could share his favorite comfort foods with all of us. One of the first restaurants in Chelsea Market, Chelsea Thai will be celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

Looking forward to it! They have always had great food at an affordable price. I was sad to see Neptune go but I'm glad it's not being replaced by a pricey restaurant, we have too many in the neighborhood. I hope they use the backyard!
