3.3 At waikoloa village. The center we went to was mainly closed at dinner time and it's not a restaurant but mainly a shop and the other shops around it were closed already when we got there at about 5PM. The green curry with chicken was a little bit watered down and especially the Pad see ew noodles. Thai ice tea was standard The whole town looks like things were shutting down, but we did go to the KTA asian supermarket, nearby and loved shopping there read more

Racha Thai Cuisine - Noodles and green curry - Thai Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

Food isn't bad here and came quickly but I guess the chef throws whatever spices he feels like. I got a drunken noodle but it wasn't pan fried and had so much lemongrass and galangal, two ingredients that are not supposed to be present in pad kee mao. Noodles were soggy, with much of whatever sauce drained to the bottom of the bowl. Truly hope they improve their authenticity. read more

Unfortunately Racha Thai that I have been to many times in our area surprised me tonight. Everything we ordered was supposed to be medium spice. I came home with dinner all our dishes had no spice I found this container with chili pepper in it. Called to ask why is our food not spicy I ordered it medium heat and found these red peppers in my bag. I was told they do not want to season it anymore because what is medium to one person may be too hot for another. I was speechless making these dishes with no spice is not a Thai food! read more

Racha Thai Cuisine - Stir fry mixed vegetables with cashew nut! You have to season it yourself. Does not taste the same. - Thai Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

A surprise find near the resort area. In the same shopping center at KTA. Food made fresh to order. Hubby got the laksa which I thought would be a bad choice to order in HI but it was good. I got the chicken larb--tasty stir fry and healthy. Kid ate through the chicken satay with rice. My thai ice tea was sweet and strong. I wouldn't set my standards in HI to have authentic Thai here but this was pretty good. read more

No flavor on either of our dishes. Over priced. The color you're seeing in the photos is because we duuumped sriracha on both of our meals that's where the color is coming from. Tasted like boiled noodles. read more

We've eaten at Racha Thai many times and it's always delicious. The food is fresh and flavorful, and the people who work there are warm and friendly. My favorite dish is the pumpkin curry, always so good. Prices are reasonable, and although it's located in a shopping center with outdoor seating, we usually get our food to go and enjoy it at home. Highly recommend. read more

This place should be your last resort if you are looking for a meal in Waikoloa Village. The GOOD: the Tom Yum soup ($14) was extremely flavorful and the only thing I would order again from here. The BAD: the Panang Curry ($17) was very different with a lot of cabbage in it. Spice level options are mild, med, spicy and we ordered spicy. The result would have been a medium, 2.5 or 3 star at the very most, anywhere else. Edible but I wouldn't order it again. The UGLY: The Pad See Ew ($15) was an abomination. I have no other way to describe it. It's as if they boiled some noodles, threw a few pieces of beef and broccoli in, and called it a day. There was absolutely no sauce or flavor whatsoever. Pros: They are open Monday nights (many of the other spots aren't) They are fast Soup is on point Cons: Weak on the spicy level Pad See Ew was very memorable in a bad way read more

I always come here for the mango sticky. It's seasonal so they might not have it all the time. I always feel like the portion is perfect and it has the right amount of sweet for me. They got the food out to us pretty quickly and the workers were very nice, creating a nice environment. Quite a few people were eating here on the tables around us, so it makes me want to come back and try other food items. read more

Racha Thai Cuisine - Mango Sticky Rice - Thai Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

I feel a bit bad giving this place 2 starts since they were really nice and there isn't a lot of Thai options on the big island so my expectations are already quite low. But good lord the food was quite bad and bland here. You could very easily google a pad thai or pad see ew recipe which would be 10x times better than this their dish which tasted like some kind of instant noodle package. I definitely am not comparing this restaurant to other places where there are plenty of other Thai Restaurants but this locations food was quite bad and it doesn't take much to improve that recipe without needing more ingredients. I cook thai food at home all the time just by googling recipes and I was very disappointed by this place. read more

Racha Thai Cuisine - Pad see ew - Thai Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

It's a bit pricey but it's okay. The pineapple rice is a huge serving. Pad Thai is okay. However, the service is friendly.

We ordered sticky rice, green curry n pad Thai noodles. None were good. Some veggies put in the pad Thai noodles were stale I guess,

This restaurant is located in a very small food court of a mixed use complex. They may have "Thai" in their name and the dishes are those that you would see in a typical Thai restaurant, but this is not Thai food. The flavors, texture, and ingredients were totally off. The noodle dishes had a ratio of 10% noodles to 90% bean sprouts and the sauces were watery. In addition, the prices were high in relation to the portion sizes. read more

We ordered to go twice and the Dan Dan noodles are fantastic would highly recommend the noodles

Overpriced and bland. The teen cashiers can't be bothered to communicate properly, nor can they get your order right. I went here three times and it sucked everytime. read more

Racha Thai Cuisine - Menu 3/31/2025 - Thai Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

Unfortunately - this is one of the places I would avoid on big island. The food is flavorful but the flavors were not good and didn't mesh well together. Tried both the mango curry and drunken noodles The cabbage/potatoes were soggy and looked less than appetizing. The chicken was rough. The drunken noodles was way too gingery and noodles/meat did not taste fresh. read more

I give this place two stars because they were able to accommodate my order over the phone and pickup time for ~30mins. HOWEVER, I'd like to start off that if you expect to get a usual Thai food from this restaurant THIS IS NOT IT. I usually do not like posting low reviews but from a realistic view point, what I received was not Pad See Ew. It was more of a stir fried noodle with chicken and broccoli and red bell pepper with some egg. If you're a tourist craving Thai food during your vacation here and decide to give this restaurant a shot, just be aware that it might not be the usual pad see ew that you know and remember. Also, they do not have sambal oelek and what they have is their own homemade chili sauce. read more

Not as good as Charley's Thai. Orders shrimp pad Thai and chicken satay. Chicken was tender and larger than Charley's, but not as flavorful. Pad Thai was not that best, but told its their most popular dish. Probably unfair to compare a carry out to a sit-down restaurant, but at best this is an average meal. read more

Gluten free! You guys. Everything on this menu is gluten free. And the drunken man's noodles are like a super fresh tasting take on drunken Noodles. You get a choice of tofu or ground chicken. I chose ground chicken. Great size portion with just the right amount of heat. Next time I will try the avocado fresh rolls. read more

I get take out from there all the time. I love having this business in Waikoloa. I love the Panang curry.

I can't understand why this gets such a good rating. We wanted to eat here one night, but decided against it because they don't take credit cards. What's up with that? A few days later and carrying a bunch of cash, we decided to eat here. We called in our order, but it still took them ~35 minutes to get our food ready. When we arrived, I was surprised to learn THIS IS NOT A RESTAURANT. It is a stand in the middle of a shopping center, and it has a FEW tables next to it that it shares with the adjacent Mexican "restaurant" (also a stand). I got the pad Thai, but ordered it with no bean sprouts, so of course it came with a generous helping of bean sprouts right on top. It tasted average, somewhat bland. The main thing I remember about this place was the terrible service - service with a scowl. The person behind the counter was not at all pleasant. It was as if I was inconveniencing her by ordering from them. I don't think I would go back here. read more

Racha Thai Cuisine - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Waikoloa, Hawaii

It is very good restaurant. There are vegetarian dishes an option to choose. The service in this restaurant is excellent. The food is hot when it brings at the table.. Thursday night that we dine over there was crowded. Since we were Two. We sat right away. The restroom restaurant is clean but the bad thing is one only. It was not hassle the wait to use it could be a dud advantage is someone try to use it. Overall the food has a good taste and we had fun and very good time dinning. read more

Food was definitely fresh and tasty. We ordered take out and the chicken larb was a favorite. It was very tasty. The Green curry was okay. Satay was a little over cooked. I'm sure it would have tasted better if it wasn't. Pad see ew could have used a little more seasoning. The sticky rice and jasmine rice was perfect though. read more

We ordered our food to go. We tried pad se ew; pad kae mow; green curry chicken. All very good. They offer 3 diff rice choices which is really nice. We got all 3. Solid Thai food! We appreciated it very much. read more

I was pretty impressed with the avacado rolls. If I knew how satisfied I'd been with them , I would have just placed 2 orders and called it dinner. As it was, I also ordered a pad thai that was solid as well. The pad thai had a lot of vegetables in it and a sauce that flavorful but not nearly as spicy as I was hoping. I had ordered it as the step below Thai spicy so I was expecting much more in that department. Our server did bring some chili flakes out when asked but it's not the same as having it cooked in. Another dish I tried was the crab fried rice. It was a huge serving with decent flavor. Again not as spicy as I was hoping for how we ordered it. I'm guessing these guys are used to having people say they want it spicy only to complain about it when they deliver on the heat. I'm a huge fan of non GMOs organic food and this place proudly serves their food that way. It was also one of the places on the island that has moved towards the trend of not using styrofoam for their to go orders. That is a strong positive in my opinion. I would definitely come back and eat here again read more

Best Pad Thai I've ever had! We order it with chicken and extra sauce. Everyone is always very friendly and our order is always correct. Nice view of the Ranch when you eat outside. Love this place! read more

Food was very flavorful! Excellent green curry! One of the best green curry's I've had

Fast, fresh, delicious Thai food with no frills or pretense. We stayed on the big island for vacation and wanted to explore non-resort dining options. As huge Thai food fans we gave racha a try and it was wonderful. It is a pick up only place but there is ample seating in the courtyard and in an enclosed "porch" area shared with two other pick up restaurants. Highly recommend the pumpkin curry! We will definitely be back! read more

Drive to Waimea for Racha Thai 2 for better flavors!!! I was disappointed the Waikoloa location had no flavor in comparison to the Waimea location. I order veggie stir fry with chicken at both locations and there was a big difference!! I wish them both the best but my tastebuds love the fresh garlic and ginger explosions, the cashews and lots of pumpkin. Waikoloa had no ginger and no cashews although the menu mentioned cashews. read more

First of all - Don't waste you time and money on this place. We were on the Big Island and looking for a place to eat on the way back from Hilo. This place honestly has the worst Pad See Ew I've ever eaten in my entire life! Wasn't expecting to get such terrible Thai food in Hawaii. But this barely resembles Thai food. The Pad See Ew had just plain noodles stir fried with other stuff. There is no brown to the noodles, no oyster sauce used, it was tasteless. The Pumpkin curry was so thin and not good. They aren't just skimping on ingredients but completely omitting some of the ingredients used in these Thai dishes. The chicken satay was kind of OK. Surprisingly the best thing we ate from here, was the fried rice. read more

Really can't understand the "cry babies" who have said awful things about this place. We loved the Papaya Curry Special. The Avocado Rolls with Peanut Sauce was equally yummy. And the Pineapple Coconut Smoothie was delicious. So, despite not owning a condo in Thailand, we've experienced an abundance of Thai food in the states, and we say the food here is definitely worth the price. We found the young ladies at the counter gracious and friendly. read more

This is a mom and pop, small restaurant in a tiny food court behind a business complex. I had the Pad Thai and it was delicious! It tastes so authentic like what they would make on the street in Chiang Mai. Ask for medium heat - its still just flavorful not hot but so tasty with sprouts, carrots, and cabbage. read more

Mostly organic! Super fresh and no sugar added traditional Thai food made with love. Great service too.

Food is great for Waikoloa village. Better meat then most places I ate three once a week for 4 years. read more

Amazing food and quick service! The avocado rolls were fresh and the peanut sauce was a great pairing. We didn't get a chance to try anything else because we had ordered food from one of the other vendors before this one opened, but wanted to at least try a couple things. read more
