Craving Thai Food? Here Are the 3 Best Places in Southern Utah

When you think of dining in Southern Utah, you might not immediately think of Thai food, but you’d be surprised to learn how many locals satisfy their cravings at Thai restaurants.

As St. George and Cedar City continue to grow, the food scene has exploded with variety. However, one trend stands out: Thai cuisine is growing faster than almost any other, with the exception of the numerous chicken joints popping up.

For those in search of great Thai food in the area, here are a few top spots worth checking out:

Banana Blossom Thai Cuisine
Located at 430 E. St. George Blvd, in the heart of St. George, Banana Blossom has become a go-to for many in the area. With its convenient location and steady flow of traffic, this spot earns high marks for both the food and service. The restaurant boasts a respectable 4.2-star rating on Yelp, with many praising the quick seating and efficient service.

Standout dishes include classic Thai favorites like pad Thai and curry, both of which receive rave reviews. The main critique tends to be the lack of traditional Thai ambiance, but that’s subjective. It might not have the flair of some other places, but it delivers solid food and service.

Royal Thai Cuisine
If you’re looking for a more versatile experience, Royal Thai is the way to go. Located at 568 W Telegraph, this restaurant offers a welcoming sit-down atmosphere but also operates several takeout locations throughout Southern Utah. So, if you’re in the mood for Thai but don’t want the full dining experience, just grab a takeout order.

Royal Thai stands out with an impressive 4.3-star rating on Yelp, and many reviewers are quick to compliment its stylish interior and the excellent service. It’s a favorite, especially among visitors to Southern Utah, and it’s clear why—it offers both a great dining experience and quick takeout options.

Benja’s Thai and Sushi
Benja’s is arguably the crown jewel of Thai food in Southern Utah. With two locations in St. George—one on Main Street in Ancestor Square and the other near the Red Cliffs Mall—it’s a staple for many locals.

Benja’s is beloved for its drunken noodles and its sushi bar, which adds an interesting twist to the typical Thai restaurant. The curry menu is another highlight, offering a wide variety of options that have earned it a loyal following. Despite an average rating of 3.9 stars on Yelp, Benja’s stands out due to its sheer popularity—over 600 reviews compared to the 250 or so for other restaurants listed here. That speaks to its strong local following and status as a top spot in St. George.
