Kung Pao Hustle

The new quick-service restaurant features mainly Chinese but also offers the top 25 items from Thai on Ski Run until their next restaurant, South Tahoe Thai, opens in the next few months (October).

The concept for Kung Pao Hustle is quick service with food made to order. All food is made “to go,” but customers can sit and enjoy it at the inside or outside tables. Oliver said they went to several Chinese restaurants to check out operations and noticed many customers ended up taking their unfinished plated meals home in to-go containers. He said it didn’t make environmental sense – why have dishes, wash them, and end up still using the containers?

Tanya says there are plenty of items that can be made for those who are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. She said she can modify many items since she uses vegetable broth.
