King of Thai Boat Noodles on Keeaumoku is one of my newest finds in Oahu that is also in my list of…read moretop 10 restaurants because really, their boat noodles reminds me of the time I had them in Thailand. I usually order their boat noodles and green papaya salad. Both 5/5, and because I've had it at least 4 times, I'm ready to venture out in their menu and try something else the next time I go there. Looks like this place has regulars and for good reason, their food is awesome. Highly recommend this place.

Parking: Rough street parking. Limited meter spots. Highly recommend parking in the free Walmart…read morelot across the street. Interior: only good for groups of 4s as they only have tables for that size and it's all in one column so the tables are not next to each other. Wait Time: None to be seated. Came on weekday night. SO GLAD THEY OPEN LATE! Food took about 10-15min to arrive. Items Order: 10/10 Pork Thai Boat $17 - I got egg noodles because they ran out of wide noodles but still delicious! Noodles were cooked fine, broth came out piping hot. Not that spicy but so rich in authentic flavor! Added their spice in the side and it was amazing! Generous portions of crispy pork (they pan fry it before), some meatballs, and fish balls. 9/10 Pork Pad Thai $17 - Same amazing crispy juicy pork. Noodles were incorrect/not typical. They use pho or the thin rice noodles for their pad thai. Despite that, the noodle texture was still good: chewy bouncy noodles that soaked up the sauce very well. Flavor was authentic perfect sweet savory and sour combo!

One of my favorite late night eateries that ISN'T fast food! I love that they are open until 2am!…read moreIt's so hard to find good food after 10:00pm. Everything about this place is amazing... except maybe parking, but that's usually always a problem in Honolulu. However, I always get orders to-go, so I just end up parking on the street, picking up, and going on my merry way. If you decide to dine in, the ambiance is super cute with both indoor and outdoor seating. Last time I was there, they were expanding the outdoor seating. They also have a bar with bar seating inside. Their Pad Thai is perfect! Nice and moist without being soggy and definitely not dry. I like to request a side of yellow curry, which they usually accommodate because I like to dip my noodles in it. Service is always quick and simple.

This place was recommended to me, so when I was craving Thai and needed to carbo-load for a race,…read moreit was a no brainer. It was time to give Pattaya a try. This, however, will probably be my first and last visit. The place is cute enough, with a large back garden area where I chose to dine. Service was also great. I appreciate the little button at the table that I could click for service. The food, however, was mediocre at best. My friend and I ordered the pad Thai with tofu, ginger chicken, chicken satay, and pork larb. The pad Thai was the best dish, but it was very tomatoey, which I did not expect. The chicken with ginger had very little chicken. It was mostly julienned vegetables, including celery which I do not care for. The chicken satay was kinda dry and most certainly needed the peanut sauce to make it palatable. The larb was very dry with very bland flavor, served on one lettuce leaf and a wedge of cabbage. How am I supposed to eat that? All of it was quite disappointing, especially for the price point. As I was eating this meal I remembered the Thai food truck at the end of Ward, where Fisherman's Pier used to be. Now THAT was some good Thai food. I guess that was the best thing about this meal-remembering where I could get really good Thai food-so that the next time I'm having a craving, I can go back over there...I hope it's still there.

Haven't had Thai food in a while so we voted to come here, especially since Market City parking…read morewasn't too bad. We opted for family style since we wanted to have different things and went for: -Pad see iew with tofu (very flavorful but portion was a bit on the smaller side... I thought they gave more before..) -Papaya salad (crunchy, fresh, and tart) -Sticky rice -Yellow Curry with chicken (delicious & coconut didn't overpower) -House fried chicken (crispy, juicy... and most pieces were boneless). We warmed up a little with the medium spice level papaya salad...and they don't mess around with their spices here. Thai spice is way more of an intense, painful heat than Korean chili peppers (in my opinion!). This dish even made my spice tolerant friend sweat a little but couldn't stop eating because everything was packed with flavor. Service was fast - I would definitely come back here (and maybe bring a jacket). At least I know the AC works here!

Thai restaurant with great lunch special!…read more We got the pad thai with chicken and the lunch special. The lunch special comes with crispy chicken, salad, and your choice of curry - we got green. Everything were amazing and a great portion! We definitely had some leftovers. The lunch special is a bit inconspicuous on the menu so you have to look for it or know about it, but it's definitely worth it! The service was great and it was a cozy shop. One of our favorite Thai restaurants on the island!

This place saved my life I truly mean it because after eating fish, fish, and more fish every day,…read moreI was so ready for some Thai food! Then I found this place, and it was everything I hoped for and more. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the beautiful atmosphere made me feel like I was back in my hometown. As a Thai person, I can honestly say this place feels authentic and comforting. Definitely coming back again -- highly recommend!

We have dined at this establishment but years ago. We previously have eaten in the main dining…read moreroom. It is now sectioned off in different areas. I just looked today and it is now closed until June 5. Maybe they are doing renovations. We came for Mother's Day. I was a little nervous because it's been years since we have eaten here and it appeared to look like a lot of tourists eating here. I'm Thai and I was wondering if I was going to be disappointed. I remember the food being OK so I kept an open mind. I decided to order something I normally would not which is the clay pot crab with glass noodles. it was OK. The crab didn't have a huge prominent taste and glass noodles are just meh to me. We also ordered the crab fried rice which was exceptional. I would definitely order that again. There was so much flavor in the rice. I also ordered a yum salad with tofu. That was also good. I loved the chili lime dressing and the added cilantro made it taste even more fresh. The lettuce leaves were huge though. I'm not sure why they were the size of a hamburger patty. It made for eating the salad challenging and messy. My kid had the salmon curry. She loved it. She doesn't handle spice so she asked for a level 2. Level two was spicy for her but she was able to eat it. Being Thai I did not feel it was spicy at all. But it did have a little bit of heat. The Mr ordered the crispy garlic chicken. It was a huge plate of it. He said it was good. He also ordered beef masuman. I will say that the portion seemed tiny. He said it was also good. I actually was pleasantly surprised this time around as I remember coming years ago and it was just OK. About the music. I did read lots of comments about their music Choice. It's not classical but jazz. To my astonishment it was extremely loud. The music Choice was not the issue but the loudness of it. I'm not sure if they tried to make it loud to sound like live music or not. We couldn't even talk to each other because we would've ended up shouting. That's really our only complaint.

Bangkok Chef on Nuuanu Avenue is the place for good Thai food. While they have several locations,…read morethis one is believed to be their flagship restaurant--and the food never disappoints. My favorites are the cashew nut chicken, yellow curry with chicken or shrimp, and the Pad Thai--it absolutely rocks! But the real must-order is the Spring Rolls (#31 on the menu). Trust me, you won't regret it. Finish your meal with the House Delight for dessert, and you'll leave happy. The service is fast and friendly, whether you choose to dine in or grab takeout. Just seat yourself, relax, and enjoy one of Honolulu's hidden gems. This is definitely a spot you'll want to visit again and again!

Spring rolls- good and paired nicely with lettuce and mint. Green curry with chicken- wish i got it more spicy than medium. Chicken was tender and I enjoyed all the vegetables in there too. Pad see ew with beef - decent but not the best i had. Beef is pretty thin slices and id say most were tender. Broccoli was perfectly cooked. Definitely coming back for a quick tasty meal.

The food was so good, all warm and delicious. Had a bit of a wait for the check but the atmosphere makes up for it. The host and server were attentive and sweet.

Red Elephant rocks!…read more We have been in Waikiki for the week and eaten at beautiful restaurants on "The Strip" but were looking for a change of pace. Our son who is a University of Hawai'i Manoa shared he had driven by this neighborhood gem numerous times but never tried before. So our group of five thought we would give this ThaIRISH restaurant a go! Wow! We were pleasantly surprised to discover this excellent authentic Thai cusine in Honolulu, Hawai'i! The relaxed setting with iconic Buddas, Elephant and Thai art is simple, inviting and warm. Our host and server was Taylor who was extremely friendly, gracious and great Irish smile! We ordered the classics (I inserted our selections in the photos given my severe dyslexia) Each dish was equally fresh, eye appealing and delicious! From the "Best Pad Thai I have ever had" comment from my discerning wife who judges a Thai restaurant's cusine by its Pad Thai is saying alot! Wow! Very impressive offering we haven't been able to get even in the "Best" Thai restaurants in San Francisco. Our son managed to make sure there were absolutely NO leftovers on the plates before he ordered the Manago sticky rice. It was perfect closure to an extraordinary meal. Bravo to the chef for making it happen. I talking with Taylor we learned the owner is her uncle Dr. Stephen Foley, MD an OBY/GYN and University of Hawai'i alum as Keck School of Medicine. As a former hospital CEO on the mainland I can appreciate this extremely difficult work. The Honolulu Ohana is blessed to have Dr. Foley a fellow Irishman on Ohau serving patients, new babies and extraordinary ThaIRISH cusine. Bravo!

The food is excellent here! We were hungry and we found this Thai restaurant late at night. It…read morecloses at 1am. We ordered yellow curry, panang curry, pad kee mao, roti, chicken wings, pad kaprow, and a chicken noodle soup. The waiter brought out the dishes within minutes. The serving size was just right for the noodle and rice dishes, but I thought the curry size was a little small. I tried every single dish and they were delicious! Every dish had tons of flavor. The wings were crispy along with the roti. We dipped it into a curry sauce since we had a person allergic to peanuts. Yum! When I come back to Waikiki, I will definitely come back here again. Service was quick, they tended to our needs, and food was phenomenal! Come and taste it for yourself!

Despite how busy it looked, we were seated almost immediately. The restaurant has a warm, inviting…read moreatmosphere where you can tell people come to enjoy family style meals together. It's on the smaller side, but the tables are spaced comfortably enough that you don't feel cramped. The menu is also extensive, with just about every popular Thai dish you could think of. Service was one of the highlights. The staff was attentive, friendly, and quick throughout the meal. Our Thai tea arrived almost immediately. I'm talking within a minute of ordering. It's definitely on the stronger side with less milk than most Thai teas, allowing the tea flavor to really shine through. It leans a bit sweeter than average, but the sweetness was balanced, and you could genuinely taste the freshly steeped tea leaves. The Thai boat noodles are what this restaurant is known for, so they were a must-order. Since it was my first time trying boat noodles, I figured this was the best place to experience them. I can definitely see why they're a customer favorite and would recommend ordering them if it's your first visit. The beef pad see ew surprised me. It was sweeter than most versions I've had, but it really worked. The noodles were cooked perfectly with great texture. My only complaint was the beef. It was a bit chewy and didn't match the quality of the noodles. The seafood tom yum was the biggest letdown. The broth itself was flavorful, but the seafood selection felt like a frozen mix rather than fresh ingredients. The mussels were already removed from their shells, the squid was chewy, and the soup included canned mushrooms instead of fresh ones, along with fish cakes and fish balls. It lacked the freshness I was hoping for. Overall, I left feeling that the proteins were the weakest part of the meal. The flavors, service, and atmosphere were all enjoyable, but the quality of the meat and seafood didn't quite stand out. That said, it's still a solid Thai restaurant, especially considering the options in Hawaii. Would I come back? I'm on the fence, but probably not

After a recent visit to Siam Garden Cafe, I thought I would post a brief update/review:…read more I ventured to SGC with my mom, brother, and SIL last month for lunch (on a Saturday, no less). We arrived shortly before 11:30am, and thankfully we were seated immediately (in a booth!) as there was only 1 group dining (this would be the antithesis when we departed as the restaurant was packed after 12:00pm). We got settled in our booth and looked over the menu. Collectively, we ordered/shared: Spicy Eggplant Pad Thai with shrimp Papaya Salad Siam Jungle Curry with chicken Steamed Fish with Soy Sauce I honestly couldn't decide which dish was my favourite, as I thought they were all a generous portion and flavorful. My mom complimented the eggplant and steamed fish repeatedly, and while I also favoured the eggplant, I found myself gravitating to the curry throughout the meal. My SIL also liked the fish and eggplant, while my brother had many good things to say about the pad Thai. We did take some leftovers home, and as we packed up the food I wondered to myself why I hadn't returned to SGC sooner. SERVICE The staff friendly, patient, and very polite. BOTTOM LINE We will certainly be back.

Perfect for a quick fix to get you on your way. This was a…read morenice stop after a hectic Costco trip. Here's some logistics if you're a planner like me: Parking: Free, it's tight right in front of the restaurant and additional parking inside the garage. The vibes inside are very cozy and feels like home, just overall very special. Can accommodate large groups and a small one on one date :) Food comes out fast, takes about 10 minutes. Fairly delicious, fairly priced and then you're on your way home with your Costco groceries! The Thai tea here is very yummy. I'd recommend getting mild for any of the dishes here if you're not a fan of spicy. They're authentic so you'll feel it otherwise. Service is fast and attentive. Very straightforward. I'm giving it a 3 overall since it did the job but I've had a lot better at Brok Da Mout Thai Food. It's better than Bangkok Thai nearby that's for sure.
