Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... The entrance of Ying's Thai Cuisine is actually on Keeaumoku Street. I parked a block away and walked over. (I asked my server about parking and she said that they don't have any in the building.) The interior is modern, elegant, and very well air-conditioned. Restroom key is available... I'm not sure how far away it is. Service was prompt and friendly. The worker helpfully asked if I wanted to order rice with my curry. Thanks for your thoughtfulness! She also warned me that the right side of the room is cold... she's correct! She did check up on me a couple of times and offered me more water. I had the Yellow Curry (with potatoes and carrots). I wanted "zero spice", but there was some kick to it. I ate up all of the rice and took some of the pork, carrots, and potatoes home. I also got beef Pad See Ew to go. Honestly, it looked kind of sparse to me... not many veggies and lacking in portion. I took a bite and it was okay - not outstanding. Everything was beautiful and tasty! However, I was shocked at the $50 (with tax and tip) bill. read more

This new place opened about 2 months ago in the former Honolulu hotpot spot. I just found street parking or parked over at Azure. But must say the dishes were a tad salty, bit smaller than expected and definitely not as pictured. And quite pricey. Service was good but took awhile but I am guessing it's because they are still getting the hang of things. Especially their dish featuring fried thousand year old eggs with basil...it only came with ONE whole egg. (Two halves) The picture had at least 3 whole eggs... Fried tofu - tofu didn't have any flavor so you must rely on the peanut sauce for flavor Garlic spare ribs - it only had like 10/11 pieces Pad see you - you can choose other proteins so we picked beef. If not for the whole layer of black pepper on top this actually tasted pretty good. Crab omelette - pretty flavorful but lots of eggs. Green curry - also only had like 5 pieces of meat and a few eggplants. read more

First thing I ate on ground in hawaii and it was phenomenal. Great green curry. so good. It had a little heat to it without asking for spice. I also had the sautéed cabbage. Everything came to $38 which I think may be considered reasonable on the island. in Korea, that meal probably would be around 23000 won. Nonetheless, totally worth it. read more

I ordered 22 minutes ago...5 people who ordered after me received their orders. Pad Thai is not that hard...she told me when I asked it would be another 20 minutes...totality LIED. I hate panning an establishment I really wanted to like, but plan on waiting while they serve whomever they deem worthy of being first... On the bright side - I got my money back UPDATE - gave them another try today. Okay Pad Thai but nothing worth waiting for. Very dry, very sweet (too sweet), and hard/chewy beef read more

Really nice food truck maybe 1-2 minute walk away from a number of hotels. It is open late so a great place to get food if you are hungry in the evening. It does get very busy and takes a long time for food to be ready, so prepare to wait. You can also call I. Orders ahead of time. They do charge extra for card, so bring cash. The food itself is very decent for a food truck- not the best Thai food I've ever eaten, but nothing to complain about either. Definitely would go again! read more

I had the Pad Thai and the Yellow Curry with rice. Both were surprisingly delicious in flavor. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of my curry. The wait for food took about 30 mins with three orders ahead of mine. They are located across the stress of the Marriott on Cartwright Rd, and have limited seating available. Casual ambiance. read more

Thai food truck in a small alleyway with a handful of other food trucks that open in the evening, about 2 blocks from Kuhio beach. Sometimes, they can be crowded, and the Thai ladies cook your chosen protein to order with your entree or appetizer selection. Tried the beef panang curry. Was not as spicy as I would have liked, and seemed a bit Americanized - yet it was good with rice. read more

If you are visiting Honolulu don't forget to check it out this Thai food truck in Waikiki 'Ying Thai cuisine Crispy pork was so juicy and Crispy love it. I would definitely come back. Good costumer service easy to get to and close by the beach walking distance. It was a wonderful moment and pretty view when u can both enjoy dinner and Waikiki sunset in the same time read more

Nickel and dime and overpriced. 4.5% added for credit card. If you look it up, vendors get charged 1.3-3.5% and I have seen vendors asked for 4% added for credit card purchase. Adding anothe 0.5% does sound much but it's just more and more! A sign said they charge .25¢ for utensils although they did include it without asking. Thai Basil does not include rice. You want that? $2,please! It is as pretty salty too! It is also the size of a side dish so $14 is not worth it. The pad Thai was okay but still overpriced at $14z read more

As we were looking down the street at the food trucks, a worker was telling us he really liked the food at the Thai Truck. He has been to Thailand and thought the noodles and curry were very authentic. When our driver was dropping us off at our hotel, he said he heard the Thai Truck had good noodles but didn't have time to try it out yet. A couple work in the truck. We ordered the Vegetable Pad Thai from the wife. It took about 7 minutes. The husband cleaned the wok, threw ingredients into the wok, stir fried everything, and then poured it all into a box. No tables or chairs so we took it back up to our hotel room. The noodles were still warm. The pad Thai flavor is there. The noodles were a bit softer/mushier than we are use to but otherwise it's good pad Thai. See the Pad Thai picture for ingredients. We had a big lunch earlier so we weren't that hungry but we wanted to try the noodles. For $14 plus tax, it's cheaper than a sit down Thai Restaurant. For convenience, it's awesome! read more

Believe it or not, good, reasonably priced food is hard to find in Waikiki. Tings Thai is a permanent food truck located in an alley next to Hyatt Place by the zoo. A limited menu of Thai basics, today I opted for chicken pad thai. I called in my order, 20 minuted picked it up. Excellent flavor, not over powered and the portion was a good size. Filled me up for dinner. nice guys running the truck and the price was great - $12. High recommend if you're looking for goof comfort food in Waikiki. read more

This is a food truck very close to some big hotels. So it's all about access. However, they just take too much advantage of tourists. The food was ok. Chicken, however, was very stiff. Shrimp was better. Spent $47. Asked for a bowl for the soup and she wanted a dollar for each. Got a fork per dinner plate, no extra. And for a $17 entry cashew chicken we did not get steamed rice with it. So for $47 a family of 4 still starved that night. I don't mind the cost but they should have given the bare essentials. read more

Unassuming food truck parked on the side of the street. We came here because our in-laws were raving about it. My first impression was that the man taking our order was not very friendly. I had to wait for a while before I was helped and when I was helped, it felt like I was bothering him. Waited a bit for our food, probably around 20 minutes for one order of pad see ew, but it was pretty busy, which I took as a good sign, not to mention it was a holiday weekend, so we didn't mind waiting on the curb on this nice night. We got the beef pad see ew and it was excellent. 100% worth the wait. Not too saucy but still very flavorful. Would highly recommend it--we love pad see ew and this is one of the best we've had! read more

This truck was right outside our hotel. It was absolutely the best Pad Thai I have ever tried in my life. So good. The noodles were perfectly cooked. And while I do like spicy, I do not love a spciy Pad Thai and this was perfect. The chicken was tender. We had this twice while we were here. The food truck game in Hawaii is strong, I am very jealous. We do not have food this amazing that comes out of a truck near me. They seem to cook it all fresh to order. They were very friendly and efficient. There was always a line (that moved very quickly) so you know this is one of the better trucks since so many people were ordering as well. If this were at home, I would eat here once a month. Sooo good! read more

Ordered Som Tam (papaya salad) and didn't realize they didn't ask me how spicy I wanted it until I got the food already. When I asked if it was spicy, the clerk said. "You didn't ask!" Huge red flag for Thai food joints. Don't trust it, if it's not spicy. read more

The cashier lady was nice and friendly! Love their fried pork belly and papaya salad!

Food truck that was sitting outside the Hyatt in Waikiki. Was craving some Thai food and we just happened to be at the right place at the right time. We tried one of the curries and the pad se ew. Both were pretty solid options, especially for a food truck! Would recommend. read more

They are open only at night. I was hesitant kn patronizing this place because it's located in an alley behind the Hyatt where we stayed. We are locals, and doing a staycation for winter break. It's one of those mobile food mobiles. It did remind me of street food in Thailand, and since Covid happened, we haven't been able to travel. So, I took a chance based solely on longing to travel. I'm glad I did. Most items are around $10 and they have a everything. I had the papaya salad, medium, and it was excellent. Good size portion too. I also ordered the basil beef. It looked like someone already ate from it, bit considering it was take out, I'm sure I sloshed it around. I expected more in terms of quantity. However, my family tried it and said it was really good. Sadly, they were out of sticky rice so I ordered jasmine. They give 2 scoops. If you pay by credit card, they tack on an extra 4%. I'd definitely come back and try other items. Everything is made to order but I waited perhaps 5 or so is. read more

Pro: Near our hotel. Thai tea was yum. Cons: Food was blah. Yellow curry was meh. Coconut milk tasted so watered down. Thai Basil beef tasted like it was drowning in fish sauce. The fried pork belly was meh. Overall, very disappointed. read more

They would probably get 2 extra stars if I didn't have a piece of curly hair in my container. Ended up throwing one of them out. Luckily there was no line when I showed up at 6pm. I ordered 2 shrimp pad thai's ..one hot and one medium. I love spicy food and usually drown my food in pepper to the point where my food is almost black from the cracked pepper. The hot was very uncomfortable for me to eat. The medium was only half a notch down of spice. I haven't had the mild but I would suggest the average person to go for the mild. It came with 7 pieces of shrimp that were average size but it didn't taste fresh to me. Maybe I've been spoiled by the best pad Thai I've ever had which is in Maui. It's a food truck right outside the Maui coast hotel. The portions here were not comparable to the huge portions there. The person taking my order was friendly. Make sure to ask for utensils and pay cash unless you want an extra 4.5% charge added on for credit cards. My total for two..$30. Would I come back? Had I not found a hair in my food, I would have only come if I was craving pad Thai and lazy to walk anywhere else since I stay at the Hyatt next door and since my ultimate favorite food truck, kens kitchen is no longer in business which had the best spicy garlic shrimp I've ever had:( all in all..the pad Thai was just average for me. read more

Pros: food made to order (no pre-made buffet pans sitting for who knows how long), delicious & authentic flavors, great prices Cons: food can take a little long if there's a lot of people cause they don't pre-make dishes, go early cause they run out if you go late, especially my fave pad thai :( Conclusion: authentic yummy Thai food at great prices! Bonus points for supporting a local mom & pop :) Review: Ying's is at the end of a little food truck alley near Kuhio/Queens Beach in Waikiki. Ying is a native of Bangkok so the food has authentic flavors, especially the papaya salad, which is more savory than the sugar sweet you get at other Thai spots. They opened Dec 2019 (rotten timing!) so I'm really happy they survived the pandemic. I love supporting local when I can, especially mom & pop spots. They have a limited menu, only 11 items, but they're all so yummy! Shrimp pad thai is my #1 with just enough sauce to coat every glisteny noodle, crunchy sprouts and perfectly cooked scrambled egg. They make the spring rolls themselves and even though it's vegetarian, I don't mind cause it's perfectly golden & crunchy with that epic sweet Thai chili sauce. Pork belly - golden, crunchy, 50/50 fat to meat ratio - I can't even be mad about breaking my diet they have the best jasmine rice I've tasted but the cool thing is that everything is a la carte so if you're doing no carbs, you're not paying for uneaten rice. They have healthier items like Thai basil stir fry, Tom yum soup & curries. I've tried everything by now and it's my go-to Thai spot for sure! Fyi they updated their menu so ignore all the others that are posted. Hours are 5p-930p open everyday. read more

Honestly pretty good for the price especially since Waikiki is so expensive! The food truck is located in an alley with other trucks. We got a beef pad thai ($12), beef penang curry ($12), and rice ($2). The credit card prices are 4% higher than the cash prices I listed. We split the 2 entrees amongst 3 people and were full after! The beef penang could have been a little thicker, but was flavorful. The medium was spicy for both the penang and pad thai. You may want to call in your order as it can take 15-30 minutes for them to prepare your order. read more

Hands down the best green curry I've ever eaten. The veggies and shrimp were super fresh and the curry very flavorful. I asked for it to be between mild and medium and they really hit the nail on the head because it had a nice kick to it but wasn't painful to eat. They had a limited menu when we went last weekend, so I would like to go back and try more dishes another day. This truck was an "accidental find"- we were looking for food (that wasn't deep fried) after 8pm within walking distance of where we were staycationing. But their green curry is worth a drive into town to enjoy again and again. read more

I place an order for pick up over the phone. I ordered a total of 4 items. Steam Rice, Papaya Salad, Chicken Pad Thai and Fried Pork Belly. Wait time was 20mins. When I went to pick up my order they forgot the Fried Pork Belly. They never apologized for their mistake and just told me to wait so they can make it, which defeat the purpose of placing the order over the phone. They gave a decent amt. of steam rice but it was mushy. Both the Papaya Salad and Pad Thai was super bland. The Fried Pork Belly was ok but nothing special. I would not recommend this place, even though it might be convenient. Trust me, It's better to save your money and try a different Thai spot. read more

Consistent quality, excellent portions for the price and services in a prompt manner - with a smile! This is quickly becoming a go-to spot for my crew and I, with their chicken pad Thai (at a very reasonable $12 I might add) being a very satisfying meal. Just tender noodles, soy and fish sauce complimenting the wok fired vegetables and scrambled egg with crushed peanuts. Yes, please! read more

Great food and very quick service! We got the spring rolls which came so hot and crispy! Loved it
