Restaurants King & I changes hands

The restaurant changed hands recently. Renowned chef Tyson Wong Ophaso is now associated with it, but exactly how is unclear at this writing. He also had a role in the recently closed Straits.
I was anxious to try the new incarnation, although friends told me that prices had increased substantially. I didn't really find that to be true. My green curry (pictured) was $8.50.
What does seem to have changed a bit is the quality. Our curries were watery to the point that a substantial amount of rice wouldn't absorb the liquid. On the other hand, I liked that the green curry was a bit more spicy-hot than the usual in Thai restaurants that cater to the vanilla of palate. The meat choices include pork, which I ordered. I'd stick with chicken.
Tom Phing, the former owner, is still operating Zen on Ten in the Westside.
