Sandee Thai Restaurant opens on River Rd.
By BROOKLYN FLINT
Of the Keizertimes
Sandee Thai Restaurant opened
last week on River Road N. The busi-
ness fi rst started in Silverton by owner
Ratana Bany, but Sivaleeporn Hinderlie
wanted to open one in Keizer as well.
Hinderlie owned two other restau-
rants in the past but was excited about
the opportunity to have a spot in
Keizer. She enjoyed the community
of people and noted that she would
like to retire here. She also liked
that it wasn’t as busy as some other
places.
“Silverton is too busy, too many peo-
ple, but here its a bit smaller and less of
a rush,” Hinderlie said.
One
thing
that
Hinderlie
believes sets her apart from other
Thai food places in the area is the
amount of dietary options available.
“Almost everything we have can be
made gluten-free, vegan and vegetar-
ian,” Hinderlie said.
She wanted to make sure that any-
one could eat at the restaurant, despite
having food restrictions. Another focus
Hinderlie made was using high quality
and fresh ingredients for her food. She
also made sure to get things like coco-
nut milk for people who can’t have dairy.
“It’s a little bit more expensive, but it’s
worth it. We want food for everybody,
including us,” Hinderlie said.
Hinderlie looks forward to being
more involved with the community and
to hear their reviews on the restaurant.
Sandee Thai Restaurant is open
Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to
3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. They are also
open Saturday and Sunday from 11:30
Almost everything
we have can be
made gluten
free, vegan and
vegetarian.
