The owner of Thai Kitchen, which since 1999 has been in the Southdowns Village Shopping Center on Perkins Road, has a purchase agreement on a vacant building at 4564 Bennington Ave. and plans to relocate his popular restaurant and sushi bar to the new site later this year.

Sam Sanguanruang says he plans to spend $740,000 on the building and another $500,000 or so renovating the 5,600-square-foot space, which is slightly smaller than the space where the restaurant has been located for the last 16 years.

Sanguanruang says he decided to move because he long has wanted to own his own restaurant building, rather than to lease space, and when the property became available late last year he decided the time was right to buy. His plans for the new location include an expanded menu with a Cajun-Asian fusion flair.
