We've owned a home in Kihei since 2015, and yet, had never been to Thai Bistro. So, today, we…read morefinally realized maybe we should give it a try? The lunchtime meal was *amazing*! I had Thai-Railway Fried Rice, which has diced, cooked NY steak chunks, in a bed of brown rice, as well as peas, carrots, scallions, Maui onions (yum!), with an egg over easy on top, with toasted onions. I dialed the spicyness at "medium". It was *perfect*! My wife had Pad Thai with chicken, and she left it at the default spicyness (medium), which ended up being too hot for her, but she soldiered on nevertheless enjoying the wonderful flavor. Perhaps because of the noodles and curry, the spiciness of the Pad Thai seemed much stronger than the Thai-Railway fried rice dish. Of course, we had leftovers and I'll probably end up eating hers, and she'll eat mine. The service was prompt, and the girl waiting on the tables was courteous, with a beautiful smile. The restaurant is deceptively roomy, seeming to be smaller from the outside, but once inside, it was quiet, clean, with comfortable chairs, clean tables, and large windows to enjoy some of Kihei's views (like today's gentle rain). As with most things these day on Maui, where everything comes in a shipping container, food costs are very noticable. Our meal, including thai ice tea and a soda, with a coconut ice-cream to finish it was about $44/person. Not cheap, but also not as bad as, say, Tommy Bahamas.

Noodles and Rice is located in Kihei. There is plenty of parking (free). There is a single-room bathroom for customers. Super clean! The restaurant is impeccably tidy. There was not a speck of dust or a single water stain in sight. Well done! Plenty of seating inside. Very inviting, cozy space. Perfect for late night noodles (and rice)! The staff were extraordinary friendly and kind. The pho was delicious! The Thai chili oil is quite spicy, but tasty too. I wish we were hungrier because their appetizers look good. We will return if we're ever back on-island!

Noodles and Rice, two of my vices and the name of sistering restaurant, Nutcharee's, newest eatery…read more ATMOSPHERE: Located in Azeka's on the ocean side, it's a simple space with counter and low top seating. RESERVATIONS: Not needed. PARKING: Free & plentiful. MENU: Vietnamese apps, noodle & rice selections, desserts. FOOD: Crispy Tiger Shrimp (4 pcs.) Sizable, peeled shrimp that needed to be cooked more as they visually and texturally tasted a tad rare. The coating was light and crispy but needed more seasoning as they relied on the included dipping sauce for flavor. Lettuce Wrap Romaine innards provided for the perfect vessel for the ground chicken, though the poultry needed a serious flavor oomph. Special Pho The pictures, especially the dark-hued broth, looked so good, I had to try it. This was my first ever beef pho and it was very disappointing. First off, the broth was not hot, a serious flaw for me. Secondly, the flavor was very subtle. I did enjoy the tender slices of meat, especially the meatballs. I wished my carb overload didn't go to waste, but it did. SERVICE: Greeting was immediate and welcoming. Food delivery was quick. Wait staff were friendly but there was no follow up. TIP: There's an automatic gratuity for kitchen staff and a surcharge for using credit cards. OVERALL: Meh.

We got the curry and the shrimp ( idk what the names are) both which came with rice so it was a lot of food. I highly recommend the curry, one of the best curry I have ever had.

We went all in on the pork belly (no regrets ) and ordered the pork belly fried rice and the garlic noodles with pork belly. Both dishes were packed with flavor and super satisfying. The pork belly on the garlic noodles had that perfect crispy edge with a tender, melt-in-your-mouth center--easily the highlight. We went on a Sunday night, and the place had a fun, lively vibe. There are tables available, but it does get busy, so come with a little patience. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

Being greeted by a Yoda statue and checked in by Obi Wan Kenobi via rotary phone was unexpected to say the least hahahah. The restaurant is split into a few dining rooms, us being seated in the second one. The decor here is eccentric and funky - Thai illustrative wallpaper, Elvis cardboard cutouts, Beatles coffee table books, Back to the Future hoverboards, and SO much Star Wars. Really gives you a lot to look at and talk about while you wait for your food. The food comes to-go style with disposable cutlery, plateware, and water bottles which I didn't fully understand, but everything was sooo tasty. We were the only party in the room so everything came out quickly and hot. We all shared the panang curry, pad thai, fried tofu, fried rice, and tom yum soup and everything was so delicious. Flavors and textures were incredible.Our server was so sweet too, bringing out some coconut tapioca pudding at the end of the meal as a free dessert! Such a great place (though everything was very expensive). Would love to come back here whenever I'm back on the island!

Please note, I did not eat here. I came, I sat and then I left. This place was recommended to me by…read morea friend who does have good taste, however this place was too strange. We arrived at 7PM on a Friday to a nearly empty dining room. Well, we went into dining room 1 and saw two people, stood there for a good minute with no one coming by to seat or greet us, so I walked over to dining room 2 since I saw a woman wiping down tables. She said we could dine here too, so I walked back outside (rooms are not connected) to get the rest of the party over. We sat in the middle of the room, since there wasn't anyone else and marveled at the "quirky" decor, which was kind of interesting. A few minutes passed and a woman came out with small bottles of water. Since we're new to the place, we didn't know there wasn't a menu - just a QR code that wasn't prominently displayed or designed (dark on semi-dark colors). We scanned it and it is the weirdest menu I've ever seen filled with "jokes," that actually adds to the bill. It was difficult to navigate as it is long and not in organized, but Pad Thai for $25? Get out of here. I don't care how good it is. I'm not paying $75 for three entrees. The waitress hasn't checked on us for a while when we had questions, so we decided to leave. I went to the window to call them to let them know, but they didn't hear me above their own chatter, so we just left. Light industrial condo units converted to a restaurant in an industrial area with hardly any customers on a Friday night. I don't know how they survive. Three stars for the decor and possibly the food.
