Profile Draft

Benja Peterson opened Benja Thai & Sushi in St. George in 2006 after a path that included time as a Thai Buddhist nun and years of teaching local cooking classes. Encouraged by her students, she went into business with her family; today Benja and her husband and children run two locations — the Ancestor Square restaurant on St. George Blvd and Benja's Thai Garden on 1680 East. The kitchens turn out red curries, pad see ew, and a full sushi menu, and the family's presence in the dining room is part of the experience.

For 435 Alliance, Benja Thai is a multi-location locally owned restaurant with a documented founder story — a strong register listing.

Unresolved Questions

  • Confirm legal owner of record (Benja Peterson personally vs. an LLC).
  • Whether both locations operate under the same entity.
  • Founding year of the second location (Benja's Thai Garden) — not surfaced.
