    Highly recommend. We Love to come have Sushi here at Benja's when in St Gorge, Utah. The sushi is always so fresh and delicious! The service has always been excellent for us too! Love the Ambiance. It's so pretty inside and I really love the big windows which makes this restaurant so nice and bright and welcoming. My favorite roll is the Green Baby roll. The cilantro and spicy garlic sauce is so freakin good. I also love the Mr. Burk roll and my favorite appetizer is the Basil rolls. Yum! Recently dined here and unfortunately they don't have the green baby roll anymore on the menu, but if you request it they will still make it for you! Great customer service. FYI:The roll closest to the Green baby roll is the PJ roll minus the spicy tuna if you don't like raw fish.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Musaman Curry

    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.

    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!

    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!

There were 4 people behind the reception table and that's good because there were piles of people inside! We were afraid we won't get a table fast because there were probably 30 people waiting both in and out. The receptionist asked if we're ok with sushi bar. We said yes and we were seated in 3 minutes, way ahead of everybody! There are 2 sections: habachi and sushi. We were of course seated at the sushi area. Our server's name was Star and she was lovely, highly attentive and efficient. We ordered sushi and yakisoba and everything was fresh and tasty! I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back next time we're in St George!

The reason for the one star review is the quality of the food. The food was bland and lacking seasoning except for the soup which tasted like you were putting salt directly on your tongue. We tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the next morning I woke up with severe food poisoning, and spent the whole day stuck in my hotel room sick. We've called the restaurant, left a voicemail, and wrote in. We have not heard back. While we were initially excited to try this restaurant after driving by it for years, we will not be returning, and won't recommend this venue to anyone. They seem to have more focus on branding and being flashy, rather than proper food handling.

    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.

    There are places you go... and then there are places that feel like you've finally come home…read more The Painted Pony is the latter. We adore slipping away for lunch and settling onto the patio, where the world softens--shade drapes gently overhead, birds sing as if they've been hired just for the occasion, and time... well, time slows down enough to breathe. The service is nothing short of immaculate--attentive in that quiet, effortless way that makes you feel seen without ever being interrupted. And the food... oh, the food. The bacon-wrapped dates must have been crafted in heaven... or perhaps meant for the gods and somehow gifted to us. The tuna melt was so transcendent I found myself wondering if I had ever truly tasted tuna before... or if I had just been living a lesser version of the experience all along. And the beef bourguignon... my heavens. It was as if your grandmother--if she were also a five-star chef--had been waiting for you, simmering something rich and soulful to welcome you back after a long journey. Even the tea felt royal... and the mocktails were so delightful, so thoughtfully made, that not once did we miss the alcohol. The Painted Pony isn't just a meal... it's a return.

    The Painted Pony in St. George, UT - A Cozy Gem with One Miss (Pass on the Crab Cakes)…read moreIf you're looking for a solid upscale dinner spot in downtown St. George, The Painted Pony in Ancestor Square is a strong choice. Tucked into the Tower Building, this New American restaurant nails the Southwestern-meets-fine-dining vibe: intimate indoor seating with contemporary regional art, fresh flowers, and soft lighting, plus a charming patio for when the weather cooperates. It feels romantic and relaxed without being stuffy--perfect for date night or a special occasion while visiting southern Utah.c91b9be2267e Service was attentive and friendly without hovering. Our server knew the menu well and made solid wine recommendations (they've got a nice list, and no-corkage Mondays are a nice touch if you BYO from a Utah store). Portions are generous for the price point--definitely not the tiny-plate nonsense you sometimes get at fine-dining spots. We started with the carrot jalapeño soup (bright, flavorful, and a nice kick) and the baked brie, which was rich and perfectly paired with the seasonal chutney and crostini. For mains, the bone-in pork chop and the hanger steak were highlights--well-cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor from the fresh ingredients and thoughtful sauces. The sides (mac & cheese and haricot verts) were solid too. We finished with the key lime pie, which was a bright, creamy winner. One note, though: pass on the crab cakes. They're a menu staple (around $16, served with something like pomegranate salsa or poblano aioli depending on the season), but ours were mostly filler with a noticeably fishy taste. Not worth the spot on the table when there are so many stronger starters and entrées.781e4d Overall, we'd happily return to The Painted Pony. It's one of the better fine-dining options in St. George--great atmosphere, strong service, and mostly excellent food at reasonable prices for what you get. Just skip the crab cakes and you'll have a winner of a meal. 4/5 stars. Recommended for visitors and locals alike. Reservations advised, especially on weekends.
