China Thai was one of the only places in town where you could get Chinese orange chicken (top left) along with Thai chicken larb (top right) and pad Thai.

China Thai, the east side mainstay known for its eclectic menu of chop suey and panang curry dishes, appears to have closed.

Although the furniture is still inside, chairs have been put up on tables and a lock box has been secured to the door. Multiple calls to the restaurant have resulted in a busy signal. 

The Chinese and Thai fusion restaurant had been in business on Tanque Verde for over a decade, and moved to a larger space at 6546 E. Tanque Verde Road in 2013.
