Benja Thai and Sushi
Thai and sushi restaurant in Ancestor Square, established in 2010 and run by Benja with her husband and children.
The kitchen pairs Thai curries and noodle dishes with a long list of specialty rolls — an unusual double bill that has made it a downtown fixture. The same family operates a second St. George restaurant, Benja's Thai Garden.
Worth knowing
Ancestor Square occupies the original 1860s townsite corner where St. George Boulevard meets Main Street, and it is one of the few places in the city where pioneer-era buildings were adapted rather than replaced. Pairing a Thai kitchen with a sushi bar is unusual anywhere, but it is a practical answer to a small market — one room can serve two audiences that would each struggle to fill a dining room alone. Southern Utah supported almost no sushi at all before the 2000s.
