Facelifts

Reps for Ayara Thai Cuisine in Westchester near LAX send word that they're planning to shutter in mid-October for renovations as the restaurant expands into an adjacent space. While the kitchen is out of commission, management will park a food truck outside the eatery and run a pop-up at a tbd nearby space. Once complete in early 2014, Ayara will incorporate a more open floor plan, a full bar, display kitchen, and an added noodle bar serving "fresh Thai noodle soups." [EaterWire]
