    Tom yum gai (chicken)
    Susamoy A.

    Totally unjustified low rating. We were scared to order anything from a low rated Thai joint, but the Tom Yum blew us away. Perfectly tangy, perfect amount of lime, good amount of lime kefir, lots of veggies & great tasting chicken. Never had cucumber in Tom Yum, but it added an amazing flavor & taste. Little mom & pop place. Service is not the greatest & I had a little difficulty understanding what she was asking, but it's never a dealbreaker for me as long as the food is good. I wish, we had a spot like this at LA!

    If you are in a hurry, order ahead. Everything is freshly made at the time you order and can take a few minutes. Carol takes pride in the food she serves and it shows! Dinner was wonderful! Looking forward to many more meals at Thai Valley!

    Nice little hole in the wall Thai restaurant in Hawai'i Kai. My husband had a curry dish that had great flavor. I went straight for dessert and had banana sticky rice that was really good. We will definitely come back.

    Went here for my birthday dinner on a whim, and I was completely satisfied with my choice…read more I wish I would've taken more pictures of the interior and the outdoor seating area but from the outside, you cannot tell how far back the restaurant goes and it is beautifully decorated. I got there probably around the last time I was able to be seated, but the staff were very friendly. The order did seem to take a little bit longer than I would've expected, but they were still pretty busy considering it was like an hour before closing. The Thai tea was nice and fresh + not overly sweet, the salad was so delicious, the drunken noodles were flavorful, and the sticky rice was soooo good. Would recommend and go back if I visit again.

    Olay's! Conveniently located in the heart of Chinatown. Honestly, I wish they had a more healthier…read moreand safe location like somewhere with no shishi smell, like outside of Chinatown or something lol but oh well. It is what it is. Their restaurant is so cool tho. Upon walking in, you sign in if needed, wait to be seated. As you walk in, there's a pretty decor, I would say photo opp, but there's a table and stuff blocking. They should clear that area, so people can take pictures with it lol but when you get seated, you walk through, and they take you to the back for outdoor seating. There is no indoor seating. They have the commercial tents, and pretty outdoor decor out there too, like lights and stuff. And there's a koi pond. Bathroom is back there. The only sucky part is if it was to rain hard or have strong winds, I wonder how they deal with that. But make sure you go when it's nice weather. It's BYOB!! They have a good amount of seating too. Our go to for Olay's is the Lao style papaya salad. We eat it with chicharon, and I think they have option to order a side chicharon, but we were prepared and went store before heading over to buy bag chicharon and they allowed it for us instead of spending the same amount for a handful, you get more when you BYOBC - bring your own bag chicharon lol I just made that up. If it's BYOB, I'm sure they'll allow it. We eat that with sticky rice. Omg so bomb. I like to get the stuffed chicken wings, we ordered the calamari. Was good. We got yellow chicken curry. The wife wanted to try the beef jerky, she likes it. We take the sticky rice and roll it in to a ball, and dip it in the bagooong papaya salad sauce and even the curry. Eat it with the papaya salad and stuffed chicken!! Omg so good! One thing I forgot to mention, they are located in the heart of Chinatown, on hotel street, so you gotta find parking. Street parking or pay for public parking. Would we come here again, definitely! 10/10 recommend. Check out Olay's for your Lao food fix!

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.

It's such a solid spot to enjoy Thai food.

    Came in craving Thai food and it absolutely hit the spot…read more The beef pad krapow was so flavorful -- perfectly seasoned with that bold, savory-spicy kick and fragrant basil. The beef was tender, and the heat level was just right (spicy but still balanced). So good over rice. The chicken panang curry was rich, creamy, and comforting. The curry sauce had that slightly sweet, nutty depth with just the right amount of spice. The chicken was tender, and the sauce was honestly spoon-worthy. We also ordered the summer rolls, which were fresh and light -- packed with crisp veggies and herbs. Dipped in peanut sauce, they were the perfect refreshing starter before the richer dishes. And Peter was a great waiter -- friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. Service definitely elevated the experience. Everything tasted fresh and well-executed. Great flavors, generous portions, and super satisfying overall. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving solid Thai comfort food.

    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.

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.

Staff were on top of everything from the moment we sat down -- attentive, friendly, and helpful with the menu. No complaints there at all. Now the food -- let's talk about it. The Papaya Salad was hands down one of the best we've ever had. Fresh, bright, punchy flavor. Fair warning though -- it has some kick to it, so if you're spice sensitive just give them a heads up. The Chicken Pad Thai was excellent, and we loved that it came with tofu as well -- generous and flavorful. The Tom Yum Soup with shrimp was a hit at the table, that classic sweet, sour, and savory broth done right. Kids enjoyed it too which is always a win -- and that's saying something because kids are tough critics. Prices are reasonable especially for being right in the middle of Waikiki where everything tends to cost a premium. Walkable from pretty much everywhere on the strip which makes it super convenient for a spontaneous dinner like ours.
