  "textContent": "**PALM BAY, FL —** Pha'Ya Thai & Sushi Restaurant is targeting a mid- to late July opening at 130 St. Johns Heritage Parkway NW, Suite 106, Palm Bay, FL 32907.\n\nOwners Sam Dyer, Davut Munkong, Nuy Dyer and Keaw Munkong are preparing to bring a full-service Thai and sushi restaurant to a fast-growing area of the city. Sam Dyer, a retired Marine Corps colonel and Supreme Court mediator, told Business Debut the family is building the restaurant from the ground up and wants it to be “totally involved in the community.”\n\nImages courtesy of Pha'Ya Thai & Sushi Restaurant.\n\n##\nWhat to Expect\n\nThe restaurant will offer full-service dine-in with seating for about 55 guests inside and another eight seats on a small patio, Dyer told Business Debut. The team is also planning a takeout program to serve nearby families, business professionals and the surrounding neighborhood.\n\n“It’s a full-service sit-down restaurant,” Dyer told Business Debut. He said the goal is to create “a place where individuals can enjoy a good Thai meal” in a welcoming setting with a strong community presence.\n\nDyer said the restaurant plans to take part in neighborhood events, partner with local businesses and connect with nearby Heritage High School. The team also plans to host cultural events, sushi rolling workshops and cooking demonstrations as part of its community focus.\n\n“We want to make sure we have ongoing engagement within the community and local partnerships,” Dyer told Business Debut. “It’s something that folks would really enjoy... a place where people know your name and want to come back.”\n\nImage courtesy of Pha'Ya Thai & Sushi Restaurant.\n\n##\nMenu and Vision\n\nGuests can expect a menu that blends authentic Thai cuisine with fresh sushi, including pad Thai, drunken noodles, tom yum soup, fried rice, crispy fish, crispy duck, lobster roll, red dragon roll, spicy crab roll, sashimi, temaki hand rolls, teriyaki dinners, lunch bento boxes and a kids menu, Dyer told Business Debut.\n\nMany of the sauces and food preparations will be shaped by Nuy Dyer’s experience in Thailand. “A lot of the things that we’re making actually comes from my wife putting together her various sauces and stuff because she used to be a street vendor in Thailand,” Dyer told Business Debut.\n\nAffordability and consistency are central to the concept. “Prices are not going to be too high,” Dyer told Business Debut. “We want folks to be able to afford and enjoy what we have to offer.”\n\nHe added that the long-term vision is to build a place where customers feel known and comfortable. “As the community grows so will we grow with the community,” Dyer told Business Debut.\n\n## Opening Timeline\n\nThe restaurant is targeting a middle- to end-of-July debut, pending permitting and buildout, Dyer told Business Debut. The location is part of a newly built shopping center near Malabar Road and St. Johns Heritage Parkway.\n\n## Hours\n\nPha'Ya Thai & Sushi Restaurant plans to operate Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.-9 p.m. The restaurant will be closed on Sundays, Dyer told Business Debut.\n\n## Follow for More\n\nWebsite and social media pages are still in progress, Dyer told Business Debut.\n\n* * *\n\nDrive community buzz with Business DebutWe aim to create local buzz before you even open.Business Debut | New Business Openings in the SoutheastRoss McWaters",
