Better than a lot of the take out spots on Oahu! I was shocked on how good it was. Great flavor, authentic, fresh and enough seasoning. It's not overpowering where a lot of Chinese slots could get.

My friend and I found this spot since it was one of the few still open later. As we were here near…read moreclosing, they only had take out options. The restaurant is relatively spacious. The food here is affordable and the portions are great! I got the furikake chicken bowl, which was around $10. They really load it up with chicken and rice. I didn't taste a lot of furikake in my chicken, but it was still good overall. The plaza has lots of parking and the service was quick. If you are in the area, I recommend stopping by.

Food truck is parked at a community center with lots of parking and some picnic tables to eat at. We got the chicken pad see ew to share (huge portion) and two Thai iced teas. The pad see ew was pretty different than ones in the mainland - not very dark / soy sauce forward, and just seems like regular wide noodles with some egg and veggies. Other than that, it did taste good. Thai teas were delicious and definitely hit the spot. We got our food fast, within a few mins after ordering. Good spot for a quick meal.

My family of four could've easily sipped a single order of hot, steaming curry. We bought two plus two other entrees. Fortunately, the massamam curry and the green curry were very tasty. Spring rolls were delicious and the stir fry was well done. Arrive early. They sell out quick.

The best vegetarian food I've had in the area (they don't use fish sauce and the veggies taste super fresh), and the service was quick.

Lots of lime leaves and yummy veggies

Then, we had a…read morevery bad experience time before last where our dinner was 2 hours due to take out orders and one server. The owner/cook was home in Thailand we learned. It took us a few months to get over this experience. But, we did and went back. Our fav server was there and the food was magic once again! She explained what had happened with the owner being away. Happy face! Went back tonight and arrived at a few minutes before 5. There was only one other table in the place and they had their food. Coast clear! The restaurant filled, our food was delayed, and there was one server on again, There were way too many takeout orders, and our food was bland. We went super early to set the experience for success. That was not enough. They lost us, I fear for good.

I am giving Krua Thai in Kona an absolute 1-star review, this was a completely terrible experience!…read more Everything here is extremely expensive for what you get. The food was just plain awful across the board. I ordered the beef noodle soup and was shocked that it was $28 and for that price, it was mostly just noodles with barely any meat or other ingredients. The broth tasted terrible, and to make matters worse, they charged me extra for Napa cabbage and didn't even give me the extra portion! We also ordered the ginger stir-fry, which ironically didn't have any ginger in it at all. As if the poor quality and outrageous prices weren't bad enough, a few hours after eating there, both of us got very sick with vomiting and diarrhea. It is clear they are using low-quality, un-fresh ingredients. Extremely overpriced, missing ingredients, hidden charges, and severe food poisoning. Avoid this place at all costs!

Orchid Thai is a small, family-run business that takes pride in serving quality food. Everything is made from scratch when you order, which naturally takes time. If you are in a hurry, this may not be the restaurant for you. If you are looking for quick service and pre-made food, there are plenty of other options. Orchid Thai is a place to slow down, enjoy freshly prepared, delicious Thai food, and spend quality time with friends and family. I have enjoyed coming here for nearly two decades and appreciate the care and effort that goes into preparing each meal.
