It’s part of the larger Wyoming City Center Project, which is transforming the area into a more walkable, downtown-style destination. The revitalization plan includes nearly five miles of new trails, a pedestrian bridge, a public plaza, and expanded housing and retail options—making it an even better place to grab dinner and explore.

The new restaurant celebrated its grand opening in early June, and it’s already winning fans with its wide-ranging menu. Start off with appetizers like crispy spring rolls, crab cheese wontons, chicken wings, pot stickers, or chicken satay. You’ll also find fresh soups and salads, including Tom Yum soup, papaya salad, and chicken lettuce wraps.

There are multiple options for fried rice, curries, and stir-fried dishes. And for those who love familiar favorites, the menu also offers Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, and Sweet and Sour Chicken.

Planning a party or special event? Thai and Beyond offers catering too.

The restaurant is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. Keep in mind they close daily from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays.
