Our Guestbook
“ A staple of Christiansted. As always, service and hospitality was exquisite. The owner stopped by twice to check in on everything and the entire staff was present and helpful throughout the meal. Asian braised short ribs are a must if it is your first time there. The second main was a fresh wahoo dish with coconut rice that was to die for. 2 appetizers, 4 entrees, 1 desert, a bottle of wine, and 3 drinks with 20% tip was $340 as a point of reference. ”
“ So you’re in St. Croix and want a super high end Thai dinner with the feel of a luxurious restaurant, well this is the place. Dress is casual business, staff is complimented by the owners whom greet and seat you. Wondering what to expect: well I have eaten here every visit and consistency, courteous staff and delicious food at a very reasonable price! Theodora was our server this last visit and service was spectacular with some menu recommendation’s. So we pondered taking a 6 year old and even our 19 month old as this can be challenging as most parents know but child care is hard to find and what the heck - we tried it! The owner and staff welcomed our large party in and catered to the kids while we dined on some of the most awesome dishes and a plethora of deserts, my favorite was the coconut crème brûlée! Tip: so on the opportunity when asked remember that they will gladly spice your meal on a scale from 1 to 10, I keep ramping it up, I did a five this time and it was pretty darn spicy but delicious! The kids enjoyed the mango ice cream! Although this is a relatively small restaurant, parking is tough, so arrive early, I would highly recommend that you get a reservation as this is probably one of the most popular spots for fine dining, casually dressed in the island of St. Croix. Top off the dinner with a walk to the harbor and local bars that are fun with a Cruz-an vibe close by! ”
“ Don't miss the mussel appetizer! Flavorful and beautiful. Great setting, hosts are friendly and knowledgeable about the wines, service was great. My Pad Thai wasn't flavorful so the chef came out to find out what went wrong and it was taken off of the menu. Very classy. Everything else at the table was top-notch. ”
“ We were greeted in the most friendly and respectful manner. They make you feel like royalty. AND THE FOOD… amazing from appetizer to dessert. Best meal we had in a while and for sure on the island. Would come back in a heartbeat. My husband and I were happily surprised to see this level of cuisine and customer service here. Highly recommend! I just wish they were open more days! ”
“ We had dinner here on a Wednesday evening and it wasn’t crowded. The food was very good as well as the dessert. I had the crispy chicken breast bowl and I highly recommend it. My husband had the Pad Thai which came spicy even though it wasn’t listed as so on the menu. The service was very slow. One server was attentive and the other was very slow and inattentive. The flourless chocolate cake was delicious. It comes with a scoop of ice cream, but we were charged for the ice cream. ”
“ We had a fantastic dinner at Galangal in Christiansted! I went with my husband and two kids, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We started with the pad Thai, papaya salad, and squid salad, all fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. For our mains, we had the crispy snapper with green curry, the ggg pork tenderloin, and the Asian beef short ribs, each dish was beautifully cooked and so satisfying. We finished the meal with the coconut cream brûlée and the mango sorbet with chocolate cake, the perfect ending to an incredible dinner. The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance of the restaurant made the whole experience even more special. We’d definitely go back! ”
