BEACON-HILL — Groundbreaking Thai restaurant The King and I closed this month after 41 years in business. Owner Kent Nandhavan, who struggled with health problems for years, died in July after a fall, Boston.com reported, and Nandhavan’s children decided to close the restaurant after his death. “After he died, it made sense to close the restaurant,” son Jesse Nandhavan told Boston.com. “That was his vision and his legacy.” When the business opened in the ’80s, it was one of only a handful of restaurants in the area specializing in Thai food. Dedicated staff stayed with the restaurant for decades, contributing to its long-standing success, and celebrities such as the late Anthony Bourdain have dined there.
