New Thai, sushi restaurant opens near the Galleria area

What once was occupied by popular Thai restaurant, Thai Gourmet, is a new Thai restaurant called Krua Thai & Sushi.

What they offer

Krua Thai & Sushi opened on Aug. 28, according to the restaurant's social media.

Krua specializes in Thai food, from the noodle dish pad thai, and curries such as the kaeng rawang—also known as green curry—and panang curry, also known as red curry. Customers can also order a pineapple fried rice as well as kao soi, a curry noodle soup with chicken and garnished with cabbage and herbs.

Aside from Thai, Krua also serves sushi ranging from fatty tuna and salmon nigiri to classic sushi rolls such as the spicy tuna roll, tekka maki and unagi roll.

Customers can end their meal with desserts such as white chocolate ginger creme brulee or mango sticky rice.
