I had a flavorful Chicken Vegetable Soup, simple, clean,
just salty enough for flavor and the vegetables were firm and at
the right texture. If they do not have it, if you like the Thai
soup Tom Kha it’s only $5 and has Thai herbs, coconut
milk, vegetable broth and was told it was spicy and good. If
vegetables are more your scene for an appetizer why not try the
Edamame which is boiled fresh soy beans for only $5 that
are lightly salted.
I was told about this Steak Salad, which is grilled New
York Strip steak, lemon grass, lime juice, grape tomatoes, and a
bed of spicy chili sauce for only $8. I, personally, don’t like
spicy and they made it mild for me and I wanted to lick the
plate. If you are in the mood for sushi and want a little bit
of everything, they have the Roll Combination Plate which
has half a California Roll, half Salmon Skin Roll, and half a
Spicy Tuna Roll for only $12 and is freshly made by the Sushi
Chefs of the restaurant. If you don’t think you will like the
Salmon Skin—change it out when ordering. It apparently tastes
exactly what it sounds it would taste like. Another suggestion
for the Main Course would be the Panang Curry Chicken,
but with all the Curry dishes you have choices of meats and
types of curry thereby giving you the creativity you want. With
Panang Curry Chicken it has a thickened curry sauce, herbs,
coconut milk, Kaffir Limes, and ground peanuts all for $15 and
is served in the largest single-serving bowl I’ve ever seen.
I would definitely say one of the best assets that Galanga has,
besides the amazing ambiance and outside patio, would be the
wait staff—they alone can make you want to come back week after
week.
