The food was good, but not exceptional and the service was lacking. My dessert, the ginger sorbet, was grainy. It seemed as if it had defrosted and then had been refrozen - perhaps due to the power issues on the island and not the fault of the restaurant. The atmosphere is lovely and we were greeted warmly, but were mostly... More

we visited twice during our stay-this restaurant exceeds our expectations-my brother-in-law has severe peanut allergies and our waitress (from Chicago) assured us of the care the kitchen takes in preparation and the menu made it very easy to avoid peanuts and peanut oil. From the amuse bouche to the flour less cake everything was superb!

Great Asian food, wonderful decor, and a good location near the fort in Christiansted. For me the seafood is always a good choice as it's fresh from local waters.

St Croix has more quality restaurants than we would expect. Galangal is among the best we have enjoyed. Sophisticated ambiance; professional, engaging service; marvelous asian style food, magical desserts: all shared in an elegantly comfortable setting. Delightful and satisfying evening. Make reservations and enjoy!

I went twice during my stay. Highly recommend it! Great food and staff! Order a Hoegaarden beer that pairs perfectly with the thai dishes!

I've held off on doing reviews of restaurants here on St. Croix because I've lived here for over 27 years and don't want to leave anyone out. For a small island there are a LOT of wonderful restaurants but Galangal truly stands out as one of the BEST. The service is always spot on, you are greeted with an amuse... More

The decor of this restaurant is stunning and a great blend of asian and caribbean. That being said the food was okay in presentation but somehow was lacking in it's design. The best dish that I had was my Thai coconut spicy soup. It had just the right amount of subtle heat and definitely gave one the impression of Thailand.... More

We had a really nice time. We have vacationed on St Croix since 1995 and have enjoyed many of the local restaurants over the years, but this was our first time to the Galangal. The food was very good and our waiter Kendrick was excellent . Our 9 & 11 year old boys really took a liking to him as... More

After listening to friends rave about Galangal, I finally had a chance to go on my last visit to St Croix. Rarely does a restaurant live up to such extravagant advance billing. From the first moment's greeting by one of our gracious hosts to the last goodbyes at the door the food, service and ambiance was outstanding. Perfectly portioned, perfectly... More
