Dale and Nimnual Boe recently opened Thai House Express at 505 32nd St. in Bellingham, sharing space in a Happy Valley Neighborhood shopping center that includes Pizza Time and the Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant, among other businesses.

As an offshoot of the Boes’ Thai House restaurant that has operated on Telegraph Road in Bellingham for more than 15 years, the “express” version will feature a smaller dining room and a trimmed-down menu that highlights dishes that have proven popular at the original location, Dale Boe said. He added that with the new location closer to Western Washington University, he hopes to attract more foot traffic from students and nearby residents.
