This is one of those what if places. Thai Taste on East Blvd is a venerable Thai restaurant in Charlotte. I bet it has been there 25 years, tried and true, few surprises and few disappointments. What if it blasted into the current century and picked up a whole lot of the cool trendy influences of the last 20 years, like sushi and Vietnamese food and some things you're not real sure of where they are from but they taste good. This place is run by the same family as Thai Taste, their kids I understand and these kids have certainly been paying attention the restaurant trends over the years. The food offers great selection, reasonable prices (especially the wine list) . Atmosphere is slick and staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I wasn't real sure what I was ordering but I would go back in a heartbeat. It's different and that is harder and harder to find.
