The interior of the restaurant is very nice and clean. I love the seating options on the cushions or regular chairs. The tom yum soup was well seasoned and flavorful. The yellow curry had the strong savory coconut flavor and paired well with fish fillet. The pad Thai was okay and a simple staple. The spring rolls and calamari were freshly made. The service was good. Everyone was so friendly. Parking is in the back or on the street. read more

You know an establishment is doing something right when it's been around for almost 40 years. And Chiang Mai has been doing it right since 1988. This family owned and operated neighborhood restaurant serves authentic Thai food made with traditional recipes passed down through the generations, cooked with skill and love, and served with joy and Aloha. The restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated. It features an open kitchen and you can watch the chefs, who hail from Thailand and Laos, cook up crave-worthy culinary creations. The sounds of sizzling woks and the fragrance of fresh herbs and spices exude like exotic temptations from the kitchen heightening the dining experience. But, the food is just as appetizing if you enjoy it to-go, which is what we typically do. Either way, service is exceptionally efficient and exceedingly courteous. You really feel like they are passionate about serving high-quality food and are appreciative of their clientele. The warmth of their food and their service make you feel like family. Chiang Mai is more than just serving Thai food, they are about sharing their culture with the community. Now about the food...top-notch in every way. I especially enjoy that they offer many vegetarian and pescatarian dishes. Their vegetarian spring rolls are crunchy and savory, served with fresh veggies it's a brilliant start to a meal or a perfect light meal by themselves. The Pad Thai with tofu is delicate yet flavorsome. And the curry veggie noodles is an aromatic and truly comforting dish. I get this if I can't decide between noodles and curry. But, my favorite is the Pad Ki Mao with shrimp (you can choose your protein because it's made to order). The wide, chewy noodles, stir-fried fresh veggies, and robust but bright sauce always leaves me satisfied yet wishing for more. That's a memorable meal! While we've dined in a few times, we generally tend towards take-out. We don't use the online order and just call in. They pick up quickly and the order process is complete in seconds. Super convenient! They have a small parking lot in the back of the restaurant but there is also parking on King Street and on Makahiki Way. It's great for a lunch or dinner date or for groups. The restaurant is spacious but seating is intimate. At the writing of this review, they were featuring live music on Friday. Many great reasons to check them out! Hope you give them a try. read more

Service: 5/5 The service was incredible! We had a large table of 14 and they were so attentive. The waiter Kevin kept cracking jokes and the overall vibe was so enjoyable! We had so much fun laughing and the food came out so fast! Food: 5/5 The food was so delicious! Everything was flavor packed and personally for me I eat really spicy foods so the spice level delivered! I really liked the Laos style papaya salad, the tom yum soup, pineapple fried rice, crispy fish, pad kra pow, basically everything HAHA The owner and Kevin were very knowledgable and helped pick the items based off our taste This was probably our favorite meal of our entire trip my whole family and I want to go back again! Thank you for an amazing experience we will be back! Highlight of our trip! read more

This place was so good i forgot to even take photos of the food. Some of my favorite items were the beef pad thai and yellow beef curry. Their tum yum was good as well. I specifically made this post because I wanted to shoutout the worker Kevin for making our experience memorable. The inside felt clean and very inviting. I recommend this place to those looking to try a new thai place! read more

I used to say you can't really mess up pad Thai......I was proven wrong.

Chiang Mai Thai Cuisine - Chicken pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My first time coming to this restaurant and it was great! The space was nice and I liked the ambiance in the restaurant. We did family style and ordered pad thai, tom yum soup, red curry, and spring rolls. The pad Thai and the red curry was our favorite. The staff was nice but sometimes it took a while to get our attention. They have a small lot in the back but it fills up fast so you can find street parking nearby. All in all, a great experience and I would come back! read more

Chiang Mai Thai Cuisine - Be aware of Credit card surcharge . It was not known till I got the receipt. - Thai Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Pleasant ambience; good service; enjoyed presentation and taste of a wide variety of dishes.

Please resolve this issue: I ordered food to pick-up for my husband's birthday for him & a couple friends to celebrate; however when I arrived to pick-up, there was a hand-written sign "Closed - kitchen problem" on the door. I rushed in search of another place that I could order from and pick-up in time for my hubby's gathering. WHY would I be charged the next day $$$ for food that was NOT picked-up or even prepared. This was through DoorDash, but they said they did an investigation and your establishment denied. All you have to do is check sales in the evening on 12/10/25 to see there were no other sales. The date, time, and charge in on this receipt for NO FOOD RECEIVED. read more

Chiang Mai Thai Cuisine - How can this order be complete when the place was CLOSED - is this a SCAM? - Thai Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Such a great restaurant! We didn't feel like cooking that day, so we chose a restaurant kind of at random and I guess we got lucky. At first glance the prices seemed a bit high but the portions are family style and very worth the cost for the size and quality. The interior is pretty nice too, cozy and traditional but still a nice dine in experience. The staff were also efficient and friendly and the owner was so nice. I have a terrible spice tolerance but the owner assured us the dishes we got weren't going to be too spicy and he was right, they were all really good and still super flavorful without being too spicy. We got the duck breast curry, khao soi, thai ginger chicken and grilled pork jowl. Everything was fantastic, we got the pork jowl medium spicy which i was worried might be too hot for me, but it was great and not too hot! It has a nice char to it and was so flavorful with the herbs, pepper and onions it's cooked with. The khao soi was also a winner, it came with fried soft shell crabs which went amazing in the savory and rich curry sauce. The noodles were housemade and had a nice chew to them. Loved the thai ginger chicken too, it definitely needed that side of rice to soak up all that delicious sauce. It was a very comforting flavor, like a chicken soup but brighter. Last but not least we got the duck breast curry. It had a ton of bamboo shoots and fresh pineapple stewed together for an earthy, sweet flavor that went great with the grilled duck breast! Personally I like duck a little more rare but it wasn't too tough and still had a great grilled flavor. The flavor of the pineapple was also great in the sauce but I don't care for pineapple itself so I did pick those out. Went great with the side of sticky rice though! Then we also got a thai tea brulee for dessert and it was fantastic! The crust was thin, crisp, and delicate, the custard was light and kind of fluffy like a mousse. It had a light thai tea flavor and was just the right amount of sweet. After the tax and a 20% tip it was about $170 for three people, but we absolutely over ordered and had plenty leftover for a second dinner the next day. All in all well worth it and it's encouraged me to try more thai food! Can't wait to come back to Chiang Mai! read more

This place is legit! Love their specials here! I want to go back to try some of their other dishes. We ordered the usuals though yellow curry with chicken, pad thai with shrimp, mixed veges, and their mango sticky rice dessert. Everything was so delish! This is a hidden gem on King Street. They have a small parking lot or you can find street parking. read more

Chang Mai is a favorite. The ambience is casual and cozy. Very comfortable and clean. The Pad Thai with chicken I had was excellent and a great portion. My husband had the Tom YUM and Panang curry. It was also a good portion and sauce I had to taste bit , also very tasty. Will definitely recommend and repeat visit. One more thing , if you order out, pick it up yourself. Prices for the entrees with DoorDash are 5 or 6 dollars more than if you go yourself. If not take-out, dining in is very nice. read more

The meal was fine. However, I am now looking at my credit card receipt and realized they tacked on extra charges that I was not aware of until now. I slipped away from my table and gave my credit card to the waiter because I wanted to close the bill and not have anyone at the table pay. They ran my card on a handheld POS system where I pushed buttons for the tip and it spit out some papers. I'm now looking at my itemized bill and the credit card receipt. Check the POS screen and bill before you pay for anything! I didn't see anything on the menu or my bill about the extra 3% credit card use surcharge on the entire bill. Dispute if they don't mention it to you then stick it to you without telling you. Although it's just few bucks, it's the principle. Also, it's based on the entire bill + tip, so the more you tip, the more you pay in the surcharge. That's a disincentive for a larger tip. Secondly, don't automatically hit the tip percentage on their POS system. Their tips are calculated based on meal total + sales tax, which a lot, but not all restaurants do. I find annoying when it does happen. Tips are supposed to be based on just the pretax meal total. Why do you need to pay extra tip based on a tax (i.e. a gratuity charge based on a tax you're already paying for that's a pass-thru charge for the business)? Choose to do a manual tip instead, based on your bill subtotal. read more

My favorite things to get here are the pineapple curry with rice and the golden calamari! You get rice separately. Also they do have a vegetarian menu so they are vegetarian friendly, just make sure you let them know that. I went here on a Thursday night. Atmosphere - It's nicely decorated and gives you almost an ambience of a house. Depending on where you're seated, you can get booth-ish seating that have comfy cushions or you can get the western dining table kind with cushions. That's what we got since we had a party of 6 people. We went for dinner at 7:30pm and we made a reservation so it was easy and it was fairly busy. Service - Service was fine and our waiter was nice. Cost - The range is around $15 - $22 per dish depending on what protein you get. Parking - They have a small lot right behind them that maybe fits like 5 - 7 cars? I don't recall. There is also street parking in front and on the side. Location - It's on King Street like if you're headed towards Kaimuki. It's on a corner right across from the Mō'ili'ili library and it's next to several other restaurants. This is my third time coming here. I like getting the golden calamari, pineapple curry with rice, and pad kee mao (I didn't see it on the menu this time so we asked them and they made it). I usually get my food spicy but not this time around since I was with people who could only handle negative spice (HAHA) so I asked for some on the side and they'll give you a chili sauce and red pepper flakes. I don't have pictures of all of them because I didn't want to hold the party back from eating (haha!). read more

I have not been here for years and happy to have returned. My friends and I shared the dishes.

My son also enjoyed the dish, though he preferred the spring rolls. For a group of six, this was enough food for us. read more

Greeted by 3 people at the door and immediately seated as we had prearranged reservations. Normal sequence of service other than entrees came out before the appetizer no biggie.

Yes, I'd definitely go back. I just might need to be a bit more assertive. Chomp da noms... yes we ate it all. Street parking is monitored meters and limited but get parking in da back! Thai hot was tasty, I can handle more however, for the first go at this place it was a thumbs up! read more

Food was 8/10 it was very tasty. My family member didn't like curry so I asked if I could just have fried chicken and rice and they were more than willing to do a special order which I was very pleased. My initial food I wanted to order didn't have noodles but they said they could add noodles. They were very accommodating. My other family member had curry and they were very helpful to say it didn't come with rice and if they wanted to order a small bowl of rice. They didn't come to refill quickly with the drinks but with me I love water. Over all experience would be 7/10 they were very nice to say thank you for coming to eat at their business. Nice service read more

Ambience - decent Food is very bland and not spicy at all. Regardless it barely tasted like Thai food. The fish laulau is essentially Thai steamed fish cake (haw mok pla) but it was over cooked and burned on the bottom. How is that possible for a fish that is supposed to be steamed. Papaya salad had barely any taste of fish sauce in it. Very bland. I had high hopes for this restaurant but sadly there are still no good Thai restaurants in Hawaii. read more

I always order take out but I decided to dine in tonight. Food and service get 5 stars! Summer rolls were fresh and pad kee mao was hot and full of flavor! Chiang Mai is one of my favorite places to come for thai food. Will definetely be back again! read more

Phenomenal greeting, service, and sensational Thai cuisine. I used to go there 30 years ago with Mom, it was her favorite restaurant. We moved and I found another Thai restaurant closer to us. Just went with Ohana, twice and we were blown away by the greeters warmth and smiles. They accommodated us (I had a little dog in his stroller) with a sincere "welcome". The waiter, Kevin is the finest, funniest, engaging Server I have ever experienced. I also was a waitress and could appreciate his enthusiasm and efficiency. Kevin's assistant is also exemplary. The entire staff was outstanding!!! Now ... for the food. Remember Mekongs on Beretania? They were the first Thai restaurant to open in Honolulu. They also opened Keo's. Chiang Mai has the same mouth watering taste experience. The dishes were memorable and delicious. The eggplant with chicken, thePadThai noodles, the spring rolls, red curry chicken and the whole fish Omygawd! Chiang Mai has been around since the 90's? I'm So happy to have revisited and have already been back. I'm hooked ... can't wait to go again and again!!! Mahalo Chiang Mai read more

I gave this place 3/5 stars. Out of the four dishes I ordered, only the Chiang Mai Wings really stood out--they were flavorful and well-executed. Unfortunately, the other three dishes (Pad Thai, Thai Yellow Curry, and Hot Spicy Clams) were underwhelming and honestly not as good as what you can find at many other Thai restaurants in Honolulu. That made it especially disappointing given the higher price point. The service was also very slow given the restaurant was less than half full, we had to wait a long time to order food and receive the bill. On the plus side, the restaurant itself has a nice ambiance, which made the overall experience a bit better. read more

Very welcoming decor and a nice space. Unfortunately the food was not good at all. I love Thai food.... I have never tasted Thai curry that tasted like that... we had red and green. Both just tasted odd. The green curry was more brown than green. Also had stir fried eggplant which is one of my fav Thai dishes and ordered it spicy... it had no flavor somehow and was not spicy. The eggplant was even undercooked. I got it with chicken and I didn't eat any of the chicken... pieces of unseasoned chicken thigh...really not good. read more

Iʻve eaten here years ago and it was always a pleasant experience sadly, this time around it was extremely and surprisingly disappointing... The space (as usual) was nice, and we were the only ones there at lunchtime--a sign we probably should have paid attention to. We did notice that some of the items we ordered didn't have prices listed, but we didn't think much of it at the time. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre, and when the bill arrived, we were shocked--over $100 for just THREE items! Definitely not worth it, and we won't be returning. read more

Went on a hunt for Thai food tonight. The place I wanted to try was booked with 2 private parties so looked for alternatives on Cooke street which has 2 Thai restaurants about 2 blocks apart. We decided against them since we couldn't find parking. One looked "too funky" and the other had homeless residences in front so we decided on a tried and true favorite Chiang Mai. Tonight we had : Thai yellow curry Eggplant with beef Chiang Mai Curry Noodle Cashew Chicken (Oops! Only took two pix due to hunger.) Everything was good except for the cashew which was just ok but lacked oomph. We appreciated the pleasant and friendly service especially by the new owner, Kissa, who has taken over from his late father. Always enjoy returning to this place where we have taken many visitors for the food, service, decor, and free parking in the back. read more

Even though I have not been there. Lol, just the ambiance with the beautiful decor, beautiful art, and beautiful seating areas.

The restaurant is located on South King Street, opposite Savers in Honolulu. The food is great here. Their Khoa Soi and Kra Pao (Thai loco moco) in their special menu is so ono. Drunken Noodle or Pad Khee Mao is a must have (please ask the waiter for it)! The service is nice and all staff are friendly. They have parking in the back of the restaurant or you can park at the meter stalls in front of restaurant after 6:30 pm. They also have Live Music on Saturday from 6:30 pm.

TL;DR My favorite Thai spot in town. Spring Rolls = ONO (!!!) Thai Red, Yellow, and Green Curry = ONO Pad Siew = ONO Thai Fried Rice = ONO Chiang Mai Casserole = oh no ----- I live right next to a Bangkok Chef, but I always make the trek to Chiang Mai instead for Thai food. There is a parking lot with a limited number of spaces behind the restaurant. If it's full, there's usually street parking within a block of the restaurant. I've been taking out from Chiang Mai for over a year now, but just a couple weeks ago was the first time I actually dined in the restaurant. My MIL, wife, daughter, and I finally visited to celebrate my MIL's retirement. There was no issue making a reservation online, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The spring rolls are an absolute must order. There's not much more to say other than if you aren't ordering the spring rolls you are doing yourself a disservice. My family's typical order includes two types of curries (red, yellow, and green are all wonderful), pad siew (love the thick noodles here), thai fried rice (mmmmmm), and then one or two add-on dishes depending on how we're feeling. We decided to try the Chiang Mai Casserole for the first time and were sadly disappointed. I think the word "casserole" is misused here; it's more of a noodle dish (think Thai seafood long rice). It just wasn't our jam. Everything else, however, was fantastic. read more

This place is a sham. Throwing sauce in noodles doesn't equate to selling Thai food. The instructions weren't followed and for someone who is vegetarian, I expected the restaurant to act better.
