There's a sign on the restaurant's doors to let customers know, and the No Thai! website reflects the May 9 closure date as well. No official reason has been announced for the closure, although some suspect increasing rents in the area are putting the squeeze on some non-chain establishments.

Bad Timing for Thai Food Fans

The announcement about No Thai! in East Lansing comes just a few weeks after the exit of another Thai food favorite in the area.

Eato Chef, which had been serving That favorites from its Airstream trailer at Horrocks Farm Market in Lansing for several years, closed in March. Its owners relocated to Florida.
