    We went there for lunch it was the first time going there. We had the assorted appetizers which were very tasty, the fish patties were tasty and moist and the calamari was crispy and went well with the 2 types of sauce they served. The crispy rice wrap was interesting, but was good and the satay chicken stick was also good with the peanut butter sauce. The spring rolls came out nice and crispy it had the right amount of vegetables and meat inside and went well with the dipping sauce, only thing for the 6 rolls they only have 2 small leaves of romaine to wrap the rolls in so we just ate it with out the romaine lettuce. I had the Evil Princess stir fried with pork and green beans and bamboo shoots, onions and basil leaves with a curry sauce. It was okay but on the sweeter side due to the coconut milk in the curry. My wife enjoyed the fried pork chop with her dipping sauce. The Pad Thai noodles with Chicken was okay, but on the sweeter side like more ketchup than flavor, there was a lot left so others thought the same. Men's restroom is dangerous they have brooms and other cleaning supplies as you enter the restroom, if you are not careful you could trip over the supplies, don't know why they don't place it more inside, because they have room in the restroom. Server was nice and friendly, this is a family run business, looks like the sister, brother, their mother who cleans the table non stop was very busy. And another family member doing the busing and dishes.

    My friend and I met here at 11 for lunch during the week. Parking wasn't crowded yet and we were the only table dining in. We got seated promptly and were brought menus. The inside smelled a little like stale mop water and there was a clump of hair on the floor. The staff is very to the point. I like that they don't come around and bother you often, they just made sure our water was always full. I got the pad Thai with chicken. It was really good! Large portion, and I asked for it spicy and it was ACTUALLY spicy. I was pleasantly surprised. I had to get a to go box. Overall with tip it was about $20. It's good if you're looking for some Thai - they had a lot of to go orders.

    Dinner with friends... Thai food is an excellent choice when dining with a group as you're able to order multiple items and graze through the varieties. Thai Bistro Suksabay is found at Pearl Kai so you know that parking is super easy though deciding what to order is easier said than done but luckily I have a group who knows what they want and just enjoyed having them make the choices. Yellow Curry with sticky rice, Stuffed Chicken wings, Pad Kra Pho, Kee Mao and Pad Seiew noodles. I am more of the americanized palate when it comes to some of these dishes and enjoy them as I'm clueless of what's authentic but with that it was okay for me personally though it was nice that they gave us a nice long table so that we're able to sit together but am a Kee Mao lover along with the stuffed chicken wings. The staff was nice as I just went with the flow and enjoyed my evening with friends. Thank you!

    ***3.5 STARS*** The other week I missed out on a Thai dinner with my foodie friends as I had dinner plans with family but was extended another invite for another Thai dinner the very next week. The venue this time was Thai Bistro Suksabay (TBS), apparently a family owned restaurant in Pearl Kai Shopping Center. There's a huge lot of shared parking with many businesses here. It was agreed to congregate here after work on Thursday. Traffic from town to Aiea was manageable as it took less than 20 min to arrive. Upon entry I was greeted by the staff who showed me where our table was as Auntie (aka Nadine C.) organized the get together and made reservations. I was catching up with Irene M. while waiting for the others to show up. I was digging the bright and clean, cozy restaurant with tasteful Thai decor that was very inviting. Once everyone arrived we were hungry and after hearing what dishes were desired, I was tasked to order family style for our group. We utilized our waiting time discussing over Yelp events and upcoming travel plans. As food started to arrive, we snapped photos with our cameras and it was time to dig in. THE VERDICT: The star of the night was the stuffed chicken wings. Executed beautifully. Generously stuffed and deep fried until golden brown. Tasty, crunchy, served hot. Would come back just for this. I'd order this again in a heart beat. But sadly, this was the only memorable dish out of 6 items we ordered. Unfortunately, most of the remaining dishes selected were underwhelming. I agree with Rod U. as he mentioned in his review. The food here seems Westernized to cater to the foot traffic in this area. I've been to Thai restaurants in Oahu with better quality. I found the food here lacking depth, taste and finesse. Both the pad see ew and pad kee mao lacked smokiness and charred noodles that make the dish. The beef used was chewy and far from tender. Not a fan of large chunks of potatoes in the yellow curry, which lacked flavor and richness - - it was watery and the chicken inside didn't provide enough flavoring. The pad kra pao was also disappointing as large chunks of green and bell peppers were used and the dish had too much gravy. Dish lacked flavor and smokiness and the fried egg on top was cooked over easy on low heat. Authentic restaurants will fry the egg high heat where the edges crisp nicely while maintaining the sunny side egg. The sticky rice was standard. I had to ask for spicy sauce and was provided 2 ramekins of sambal and given a bottle of sriracha. Because others only wanted sriracha, I myself ended up using all of the sambal to provide the spiciness I enjoy in Thai dishes that were sadly missing in our food. Restaurant wasn't that busy but service was spotty. Seemed like 2 brothers (?) were working the floor, 1 of them seemed like still in middle school. They were pleasant and one of them engaged in my party favors that I brought that evening. Overall, mixed feelings of TBS where I wouldn't bring my family here. I'm willing to do a carryout of only their stuffed wings or do a redemption visit with some friends. Not willing to drag my family to Aiea to disappoint them as clearly my first visit was not memorable with the subpar food. But I'm grateful TBS provided the venue for my friends and I to get together and have dinner together.

    Dinner in Pearl Kai, Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... Thai cuisine is fun to share - and our group of six really enjoyed Thai Bistro Suksabay! The free parking, elegant, nicely air-conditioned environment, and friendly, helpful staff were much appreciated! We had: pad kee mao (drunken noodles with a kick), pad see ew (i can eat this! Broccoli was good!), pad kra pad (spicy for me), yellow curry (a little spicy, but i finished it), sticky rice (i ate an entire serving), and stuffed chicken wings - crunchy! We agreed that this wasn't the best Thai cuisine, but it sure wasn't the worst! It's not Americanized, but it could be better... like more smokey flavor on the noodles and less mushy noodles? Overall, it was a great foodie adventure!

    This small family style Thai bistro has been on my list to try as I love Thai food! I was so excited to go and try out their curry. I got the red curry Thai hot and for once they listened!!! most look at my fair skin and prejudge and never actually make it spicy so I was beyond happy to taste a small bite and feel the heat!!! I was enjoying the heat but was having a hard time chewing the seafood as it was super tough due to being overcooked. I actually had to stop trying to chew a piece of the squid and just put it on a side plate. Some of the bamboo shoots were too tough to bite through as well. It tasted like chewing on wood. My daughter loved the pad Thai! So that made me super happy. Service was super kind and checked on use throughout our meal! It might have just been an off day but I left feeling mixed as the flavor and spice was great but the seafood was a huge disappointment.

    Stuffed chicken
    Hao T.

    Service is a 4. We were like the only table there. The owner and his employee were very attentive. I'd give them a 5 for service. Now to the food... the food didn't meet my expectations. I was really disappointed with everything I had. We ordered 9 dishes for 5 adults and 1 child. Pad Thai- wish they had left the beans sprout on the side. It was missing lime and some ground peanuts. 8/10 Pad see ew- it was pretty much expected. Could use a little for seasoning and maybe cook at a higher temp to get that restaurant seasoning/flavor/heat. 9/10 Pak Lee mao- same as pad see ew. 8/10 Papaya salad - the papaya should be shredded a lot thinner. Should not be using Roma tomato or and should be using cherry tomato. The fish sauce was salty and needed some lime juice and of course r, ground peanuts. 5/10 Stuffed chicken wing- a little bal d and felt like it was over fried. Batter is too thick. 6/10 Satay chicken- tasted like it was deep fried or pan fried and not grilled. The peanut sauce should be on the side and not dressed on top. 6/10 Fried chicken- crispy as expected. Delicious 10/10 House fried rice- special sauce was soy sauce. That's all I could taste. I did like the rice the used though. It was a little sticky but not quite the sticker rice consistency. 7/10 Tom yum soup- good but just a little on the sour side. Might be good with white rice. 7/10 and possible 9/10 if I had white rice. I didn't have the heart to leave everything there so I took most of the food home. I definitely won't be eating it again. Spent $175 after tip.

    I was not a fan of the food, however the staff were extremely friendly! I don't want to bash on them, I just know the pad Thai and the spring rolls were "different" and just wasn't for me. I'm not a Thai snob by any means, the flavors were not what I was expecting

    Long Rice Soup with chicken
    Kristine M.

    Every time I get sick I have to order the chicken long rice soup to go. They are always so kind when my spouse picks it up for me and the location is convenient. The soup itself is flavorful and packed with veggies, tofu and chicken. It always makes me feel better. The way they pack it to-go is perfect, they pack the noodles separately so they don't overcook. I also at times get the Pad Thai and spring rolls. The pad Thai is exactly what you want in a pad Thai. They don't skimp on any of the ingredients and the flavor is perfect. The spring rolls always come out fresh with crisp lettuce and basil. The sauce is deliciously sweet and tangy. While the place is small with 4-5 tables, it is very welcoming and the service is fast.

    Pad Thai Noodle  Panang Curry Spring Rolls
    Hannah O.

    absolutely elated to find a very good thai place here! they look very unsuspecting from the outside but when you walk in you'll be immediately greeted. the space is small but service is very quick so wait time isn't long. i really wanted to try their penang curry and pad thai because those are my go-to orders at any thai restaurant. the curry was spot on! i prefer mine a little thicker and theirs was pretty runny but the flavors were perfect. the pad thai had a taste of ketchup so i wasn't really a fan but it was good enough that I'd order it again if i had a craving. price is very reasonable and the service is great. it's really peaceful inside and a great spot for groups or date night! definitely adding this place into our regular rotation.

It is hard for me to justify spending $17+ for a plate with just a few pieces of boneless chicken and some sides. If the prices were a little more reasonable, or the portions included a bit more chicken, I could justify a 5-star rating. For now, it is a solid 4 stars based on the cost-to-value ratio. The food is good enough that I would still come back once in a while.

Service was atrocius and the food was fair. I've never had a rude server since Tao Restaurant in Las Vegas back in 2009, and this was the second time. I've never had a server shout at me with a frown on her face, saying "WHAT???" (it happened twice during our meal). I mean, come on, the music is loud, but don't yell at me from across the table with a frown. Also, do not say "Well as you can see, I've got my hands full!" when I ask for a refill politely. Also, do not walk past one of your three tables that you are waiting without looking down or making eye contact. It also looks bad when you are standing against the wall talking constantly with your co-worker instead of waiting on tables. Do not get the "endless" appetizers at this location as long as you have the waitress that we had, you will not get your money's worth, which makes me think this is Buffalo Wild Wing's ploy on cutting costs, which is a horrible idea, because destroying your brand by having poor service likes this warrants reviews like this. This was almost a two-star review until the service knocked it down into the dirt, especially since the last rude wait staff I've had was in 2009, which was 17 years ago. I am not generous with one-star reviews, so that should be revealing. Will not return to this location ever again.

Ordered by phone the day prior, and just gave them my phone number as usual (it's how they identify you when you pick up, with no worries about duplicate or misspelled names.). Every time I've ordered in advance, our order has always been packed neatly and ready in a box for takeout. (My brother had brought a box just in case, and smoothly offered it to their staff for someone else's future order.) The restaurant has several tables for dining in, and markings on the floor for those waiting in line. It's brightly lit and clean as well. I appreciate their staff, food, service, and generous servings. They make us look so good with our potluck contributions! So what did we order? Half chicken katsu, half chicken wings, a small platter ($45 for the small pan, but picture a much loaded tray) - it's a great value deal! It was the same order our cousins loved when we brought it on Christmas Day (they especially love the wings, but we love the katsu-so this year we asked for half-half instead of all katsu, and they were so happy, ha ha!) Oh, and they give you a nice big container of yummy katsu sauce;)! I like their panko and cooking method, as whatever they do, the chicken is nice and crisp, and tasty - with, or without the sauce, actually. First time that I actually tried the wings, as I'm not a wing person. (I didn't even try it at Christmas, lol.). But, it was nice and crisp, lightly seasoned, and the wings had lots of meat on them. Easy finger food, and they were not dripping in oil, either, which I appreciated! Also ordered (for the first time) a small platter of chicken chow mein (a little over $30?). It was based on a good recommendation by an admittedly biased family member of the owners, and we were pleasantly surprised! The small pan was covered in wrap and then foil, because the mound of noodles was seriously kinda big! My brother was like, quick, go tell mom to come look before we open it (as she's picky, so it's hard to impress her). It was filled with lots of veggies (sliced carrots, cabbage, onions, etc) and bbq chicken pieces, tossed with great flavor (I want to say it was a nice sauce, but this wasn't a wet noodle dish.). My dad added Chinese mustard soy sauce, but my mom and I thought it was perfect the way it was. Oh, don't laugh, we're only a family of four, so yes, we ate two meals - lunch and dinner - and still packed a ton of leftovers! As we watched the game, we commented to each other what great choices we had made. (We also had sushi trays and other treats, and of course, chips, and my brother's dip. My brother said we may not have had a favorite team to cheer on today, but it was a great excuse for a party, ha ha!) I know we're doing a repeat for our next occasion, for sure! We'll gradually try some of their other foods, and it's farther away than we'd like to drive (I know, it's not that far, but we live on the other side, ok?). My brother agrees it's worth the drive - it's across Aloha Stadium and literally in the same spot as Ice Palace; and we saw quite the line at the Taco Bell drive through when we were looking for parking;). He also compared it to the cost and serving size of what we ordered on New Year's, from a restaurant much closer to where we live. Hands down, it was not even a close comparison, his emphasis added. So go here, it's perfect for family dinners and potlucks and I hope you agree with my assessment;)! Oops, I didn't take any pictures, aiya!!!
