So, what’s galanga?

Fresh galanga root
Galanga root arrives at the restaurant with the day’s fresh ingredients.

A cream-colored root or rhizome with pink tips, galanga is sometimes called “Thai ginger.” It lends its refreshing smell and warm, mildly spicy flavor to many Thai dishes.  

In the Thai language, galanga is khar or kha. Tom Kha, the delicious Thai coconut-and-lime soup, means “boiled galanga.” The root also flavors our curries, dipping sauces, satay and much more.  

Chopped fresh ingredients, from top to bottom:
galanga, shallots and ginger.

Our Hours

After 20+ years serving thai food in downtown Tacoma, Galanga Thai Cuisine has closed. Its successor at 1129 Broadway is Chili Thai, which expects to open there around summertime 2023.

Thank you Tacoma community, it has been a pleasure and an honor serving you!
