2.5 miles north of the San
Juan/Grand County border, a new restaurant opened up recently serving up fresh
and delicious Thai cuisine, Japanese specialties and Sushi. Located a quarter of a mile from Spanish
Trail Road (Moab Golf Course, The Moab Man Rock Art Site, Steel Bender ATV
Trail), Bangkok House sits high on a hill with a grand view of the La Sal
Mountains.
The owner, Venus Varunun, and her staff immigrated from Thailand to Salt Lake City, Utah and introduced Utahns to Thai cuisine. Now they have brought the recipes of their
homeland to the Moab area (Grand County); and San Juan County residents would enjoy the
experience as well, since it's right across the border. The restaurant has
table seating in the center, while booths line the walls; the ever busy Sushi
station is in the rear. The staff are
very friendly with bright smiles and attentive attitude; your happiness is
their goal. I was there for lunch and felt very pampered and well cared for; a culinary spa experience in a way.
A skilled Sushi Chef who loves his artistic work.Open seven days a week, at
11am (4pm on Sunday), the lunch menu consists of Thai specialty items or a Japanese style Bento
box. The Bento box consists of a main
menu item, choice of Sushi roll, Gyoza (a type of fried dumpling) and choice of
Miso soup or green salad with ginger dressing.
- I chose Pad Thai with Shrimp as my main meal item; stir fried rice noodles with
- ingredients including egg, peanuts, shallots, sprouts, tofu, and a choice of
meat. The Shrimp Tempura Roll was so good, if I had had room, I would have eaten two of those easily. I did order two Sushi Rolls to go, the Rainbow and the Playboy, which I highly enjoyed at home for my dinner.

The dinner menu is more extensive
with appetizers, soups, salads, huge variety of Sushi rolls, Thai and Japanese
specialty dishes. There is something on
the menu to please anyone’s taste preferences; even a grand dessert such as
deep fried ice cream, or deep fried bananas with ice cream…oh so decadent!
This
is Asian cuisine at its finest; you will find yourself making excuses just to
go back and try another dish. By the way, all the menu items are made up fresh; sit back, relax and enjoy the experience! Thinking
of something exotic for your next reunion, reception, birthday party or family
celebration; Bangkok House can accommodate you.
Give
Bangkok House a try and expand your culinary horizons.
