    Musaman Curry
    Steve S.

    Tonight I had the opportunity to try their Sunset roll. It is a simple roll that has yellow tail, salmon, and some scallions. It was just what I was looking for in a light appetizer to start my meal. For my main course I had to try their Musaman curry with chicken. It is a sweeter curry so if you like spice I would recommend getting a higher level or request the spice rack. I ordered a 3 out of 5 and still needed to add some extra spice to it. However, the taste of this curry was fantastic and would recommend it to anyone wanting some good curry!! My waitress, Azsha, was fantastic and took great care of me in this Zen filled restaurant.

    Very nice place to stop off and grab a quick bite for lunch. Nice atmosphere. Great service and great food. If you're in St. George Utah and you need that Thai food fix, give Benja's a try. Cheers

    While we were visiting St. George we went into Benja's and we were pleasantly surprised. The service was good, a bit slower but nothing to complain about. We had the drunken noodles and they were a solid 8/10 The TomYum was 10/10 for me! The sushi was not the best. If you're contemplating on going here just stick to the Thai food. It is a small place and from what we heard it's usually a long wait but thankfully we didn't have to wait very long.

    Red Curry

    Benjas was a great stop! Cute venue right in downtown, had a lovely group atmosphere. Service was quick and even tho it was busy we got seated quickly. Appetizers of crab wontons and spring rolls were nothing super special but were tasty. But where it's at is the curry!! We got both red and yellow- my personal fave being the red. It was creamy and flavorful. I would recommend getting a bit spicer than you think. 3 was below average spicy and I like spicy so I would get a 4 next time. This is utah folks haha. Overall loved this place would definitely come again!

    Rebecca was more than accommodating. We were visiting from out of town, and she took time to explain the style of the place and the liquor laws. We just wanted some apps and drinks like blue-collar folks unwinding--and we got amazing food, great drinks, and a seriously good vibe. The service was friendly and genuine, the appetizers fresh and flavorful, drinks well made, and the atmosphere relaxed but lively. If you're passing through, this spot is a must. Rebecca makes you feel right at home; we'll definitely be back.

    Thai ice tea, wonton soup
    Lyee C.

    I had a late lunch at Benja's with friends and was pleasantly surprised by the spacious interior and tons of seats: not crowded at all when I went. Parking was easy to find nearby, just a short walk away. The service was super friendly and fast, which I always appreciate. I was impressed with the large menu. There's a variety of Thai and sushi. The Thai iced tea was perfectly sweet and refreshing. Both the Las Vegas roll and the Kilamanjaro rolls were okay, but not amazing: too saucy, but lacked flavor, and way too much batter fried over the roll. However, their Thai dishes are where it's at! My friends loved the yellow curry and pad thai. The crab wontons we got for the table were also delicious and we were tempted to get the curry versions which we saw on the menu too (but were too full). Solid option for Thai food in a nice setting with good service. Sushi was also good, but I would opt for the Thai.

    Thai Orange Chicken
    Carrie O.

    Delightful spot in the historic Pioneer Square. Great ambience with windows throughout, tables not too close together, and nice decor. Also, not loud. Service was a little bit slow due to understaffing on the holiday. Our waitress was fantastic at pointing out which menu items could be made gluten free. All three dishes we ordered were fantastic. I could drink the dressing for the steak salad. The meat was tender and the dish was substantial. Hubs liked his orange chicken very much. Daughter (who has celiac disease) loved the gluten free noodle dish the waitress recommended. It was full of veg, shrimp, and sauce with the vermicelli noodles. This place was clean (I always check the table). Benja's will be on regular rotation every time we visit St. George from now on.

    Drunken noodles with tofu
    Annette T.

    This restaurant is in a cute little area that also has other restaurants and shops. Parking can get crowded during busy seasons. We ordered the drunken noodles, which were absolutely delicious, and the shrimp spring rolls, which included two really good dipping sauces. Next time I'm in St. George, I will come back for the drunken noodles!

The reservation was written down for 730pm. The host team did the best they could and had us seated in 15 minutes. Good recovery. Our server, Bailey, was kind and friendly. She was quick on drinks, soups, and salads. We waited quite a while for the Hibachi chef to arrive. A solid 30 minutes. He was great and made it fun. The chef, Bailey, and others apologized many times for the slow service. We were still having a nice time until the bill came. We looked at each other (the 5 of us) and said, "No dessert? Nothing was offered. No menu provided. Big miss! So we just paid the bill, tipped well, and left. There was a $45 discount on the bill that wasn't mentioned so I suspect this was the slow service or was it for not offering dessert? The hosts were friendly on the way out as well. This was definitely a 3-star experience on this trip, but we have had 5-star experiences in the past. This is the reason for the 4-star rating. If you're having a 5-star experience, the price is right, but it's a little pricey when it's a 3-star experience. Really great people at Sakura. A very clean and beautiful restaurant.

    We love poke, and despite having had poke for dinner the night before our road trip, the reviews…read morefor Hawaiian Poke Bowl were so good that we decided to make this our lunch stop on the way to Cedar City. We told the man at the counter that we had never been there before and had some questions, which he didn't really answer. I'd never been to a poke restaurant (or shop) that didn't have the fish on display for customers to view before ordering - so it was natural that we'd have some questions. We also like to see if fish doesn't look fresh and avoid ordering those items, but we were unable to do so here. My husband and I each ordered a "1 choice" bowl, which was supposed to be served over a bed of hot rice and cabbage. When I asked for tap water, he said they don't have a tap. Really? Good thing we always carry water with us. Then, he asked us each if we wanted forks or chopsticks. He said we couldn't have both (without paying extra), and he looked at us funny when we requested chopsticks. The fish itself was fine, although there was no cabbage (it was just rice), and the portion of fish was small for the charge. One other thing that was odd about the experience. We were there for about a half hour, and while they had a steady stream of customers, I was the only woman. I don't think I've ever been in that situation before, and it felt really creepy. While that's probably not the restaurant's fault, I was so uncomfortable that I don't want to go back, and I especially wouldn't go back if I were alone.

The dinner came with à large bowl of salad with great tasting dressing. The large bowl of miso soup was great tasting (tasted authentic like homemade : ). The sushi came out first. The deep fried California was well filled and fried nicely. The calamari roll was tasty and well made. The shrimp tempura was the star of our choices. It was a large serving of potato, sweet potato, zucchini, broccoli and six shrimp! Large enough to feed two. The batter was light and fried crisp but greasy. The dipping sauce was FANTASTIC!! Our servers kept our waters full and continuously checked on all in our party. When we received our bill, it was incorrect as our items were placed on someone else's bill. The server corrected it promptly. Definitely a great place to get decent Japanese food.

While we were waiting, there's this interactive fish floor in the lobby that moves when you step on it, so of course there were kids stomping all over it It was actually really entertaining, but it does give more of a lively, family-friendly vibe than a quiet date night. Once we sat down, everything felt a little more special. The servers were dressed in Japanese-style robes, and then the food came out... SO good. Everything was super flavorful and not dry at all. The filet was juicy, tender, and not chewy in the slightest (which is rare!). Also....there was literally a robot rolling around singing "shots shots shots," which just added to the whole vibe Overall, such a fun experience. Not super fancy, but perfect for a lively night out!
