Galanga Thai Kitchen & Sushi Bar

Is it just us, or are sushi-Thai restaurants taking over the world?

Not that we’re complaining. But what we love about Galanga is that is has the perfect blend of no-frills sushi and uber-trendy sushi. Polynesian-style tiki masks on the walls, dim lights, a giant fish tank behind the bar and friendly servers (who, just for the record, are all tall and handsome—just saying) make the vibe at Galanga the ultimate happy medium.

That said, what we really love about this little corner sushi joint is the food and the fact that, with each dish, the meal truly got better and better. We started off with vegetarian dumplings with a spicy soy teriyaki sauce that we practically inhaled, followed by a very generous portion of seafood pad thai.

As for the sushi, the Hawaii roll (shrimp, asparagus and tempura flakes topped with spicy tuna, cilantro and spicy mayo) and the butterfl =y roll (surimi crab, spicy mayo, tempura fl akes and sesame seeds, topped with shrimp and avocado) were simply perfect.

We were tempted to keep the Asian theme going with dessert and get the traditional green tea ice cream, but we fell victim to the white Russian—a heavenly blend of white chocolate and dark chocolate mousses and a layer of espresso liqueur-soaked cake topped with a delicious ganache.You may want to make reservations because the restaurant is small, although there’s a cute covered patio.

There may be a sushi place across the street, but, trust us—Galanga is worth the drive.
