A new restaurant serving fresh sushi, Thai cuisine and hot stone table cooking is opening in Southport town centre this week.
Baan Coastal is welcoming its first diners in the former Hungry Monk unit in Cambridge Arcade.
It is opposite the award-winning Tap and Bottles beer bar and bottle shop.
The Baan Coastal venture is under new ownership.
They are hosting a soft opening this evening (Monday, 24th August 2026) followed by the official opening this Tuesday (25th August 2026).
They said: “The wait is finally over – Baan Coastal is opening!
“After all the hard work, renovations and a few unexpected delays, we’re so excited to finally announce our opening dates!
“We’ll be welcoming just 10 tables for our Soft Opening on Monday. If you’d like to be one of our first guests, send us a message to reserve your table.
“Our official opening is on Tuesday.
“Thank you so much for your patience and support throughout our journey. We can’t wait to finally welcome you to Baan Coastal!
“For reservations, message us directly on this page or email [email protected] or call or call 01704 616400.
“See you very soon!”
The opening of Baan Coastal comes at a busy and positive time in Southport town centre, with construction work taking place to improve nearby sites including the former BHS department store building on Chapel Street; the Southport Train Station Approach on Chapel Street; the former Southport Visiter office building on Tulketh Street; and more besides.
A Baan Coastal spokesperson said: “We’re excited to announce the re-opening of this lovely restaurant under a new name: Baan Coastal, featuring Thai cuisine, fresh sushi, and Black Rock stone table cooking, bringing a unique dining experience to Southport.
“Baan Coastal will be the only restaurant of its kind locally, offering something completely new for the area.
“The venue is now under new ownership and management, and is being fully transformed into a fresh concept.
“We would also like to wish them all the best and good luck in the world for the future.”
