Diner Review №1

After several fancy (and expensive) sit down dinners in Kona and Hilo, it was a nice break to get takeout food for our party of 10 from this place. Expect generous portions of fresh, well-made entrées that the owners are happy to adjust to your spice tolerance level. This is a small operation, so be patient if they are busy but know they are making your food fresh to order

food is surprisingly delicious!

Diner Review №3

It would have been perfect if I had got what I had ordered. I ordered fried rice with tofu and got fried rice with chicken. It was pouring and I was starving so I didn’t have it in me to go back. So I removed the chicken pieces and ate it. Portions were good. Food was prepared quickly and they are on DoorDash. Only meat for a veg order is really a deal breaker :(

We ordered takeout from this restaurant today Sep 16 24.
from the counter. It is a small restaurant catering mostly to take out. There is a some space for dine in also.

The quality of food was excellent. There was a small problem with out bill. When we pointed out the mistake it was promptly corrected. I would strongly recommend this place for take out.

Diner Review №5

Best in town. You should eat here.

I have been going to Thailand for the past 25 years and know what Thai food is. This Thai food was the worst I have ever had with no taste whatsoever. If you like boiled tasteless chicken and boiled vegetables with no taste this place is for you. We ordered chicken with cashew nuts, the eggplant and papaya salad. Ended up throwing it away. Papaya salad was okay but not great!

Diner Review №8

We ordered the fresh rolls (shrimp). They were great! I ordered the sweet and sour chicken. It was fantastic. Full of chicken, perfect consistency. The pineapple was obviously fresh and super ripe. It came with a bowl of white rice. I loved my dish. We also had ordered chicken pad Thai. They said it was good but just good. Lacked a bit of flavor I guess?
Overall we enjoyed it.
Parking is free street parking. Went on a Monday night and there was plenty.
You order at the window and tell them if you’re taking it to go or staying. There is covered seating outdoors to the right. Owners son served us. Made sure we had drinks and everything we needed.
They were friendly and attentive.
I forgot to take pics prior to eating so these photos are from our left overs. Serving sizes were large!!

Rude staff. No smile or aloha. No thanks

Diner Review №10

Fantastic Thai food. We’ve eaten Thai in at least ten different states and this is right up there in the top 3 best meals.

We stumbled on this wonderful restaurant on Thanksgiving - one of the only places open - and we were amazed at the quality of curry!

Diner Review №14

If you have ever heard the saying - don’t judge the book by it’s cover, this place was a prime example of it.
Authentic delicious Thai food with huge portions and quick service. Would definitely recommend this place.

Diner Review №15

Great food. Massive portions. Not pictured are the summer rolls we devoured before remembering to take the picture. It's off the trail a bit from the shops but definitely worth it.

Diner Review №16

Very good value for money, delicious and portions are very large

Diner Review №17

Hole in the wall Thai place for take out. Pad Thai was good. Service is fast.

Owners are from north eastern Thailand known for some of the best Thai dishes. Their ability to duplicate the delicious north eastern cuisine is remarkable. Absolutely some of the best Thai food I’ve had in my life!

Diner Review №21

Amazing Thai food.

Diner Review №22

I loved it!! The spice level is way better than a lot of other places I went to and was actually spicy. There were many vegetable in the Pad See Ew which we appreciated and the service was pretty quick. :)) Place is a little hard to find, we almost missed it, but glad we found it. We came in with low expectations and left with big smiles! 😁

Diner Review №23

Not the most pleased with my experience.

My tofu pad kaprao was pleasantly spicy as I requested, but I struggled to find much else going on with the flavor.

The fairly scant portion for the price compared with the competition in town, and the lukewarm treatment I got at the window, did not help sell me on returning either.

In my opinion there are several better (thai) options mere minutes away.

Diner Review №24

Food was delicious & reasonably priced!

Diner Review №25

Diner Review №26

I’ve ordered numerous times and each time the food was fresh, tasty, and the portion size allowed for leftovers. I love the pad Thai, mixed vegetables with chicken, pumpkin curry with chicken, sticky rice.

Diner Review №27

Very delicious Pad Thai and great yellow Curry.

Diner Review №28

Great taste, family operated, friendly, unassuming and just great food. Good choice for a Hilo lunch or dinner.

Diner Review №29

Good food for sure. We literally emptied all the items ordered.

Diner Review №30

The guy working today had horrible service with no Aloha or smiles. Nothing like my people in Thailand. Im kinda embarrassed. I ordered and ask for spicy. I got the mild. And I ordered something that is generally served with rice. I didn't any nor did he asked me if I would like a side of rice if the location sold it separately. I would have gladly paid for it. My whole experience was unfortunately. I was excited to give some business to my own people. I can't support that

Diner Review №31

Best curry I had in a long time. Top notch price / quality ratio.

Diner Review №32

Horrible food. Fried rice had NO seasoning and was full of boiled cabbage and cauliflower. ZERO FLAVOR in the pad see ew as well. I cannot believe they would charge money for this food.

Diner Review №33

This little home in the wall restaurant serves truly authentic Thai meal. The green pawpaw salad was just so delicious and the green curry magnificent. If you can do eat here

Diner Review №34

Great variety and taste fresh!

Diner Review №41

Made Fast and delicious

Diner Review №42

LOVE this place! Affordable, great curry and customer service. 100% recommend especially if on a budget while traveling.
I like the massaman curry, spring rolls and Thai ice tea with coconut milk. Ono 😍

Diner Review №43

Take out and one outside table for dining, reasonable prices, generous portions, excellent selection of veggies, lots of veggies in my pad Kee mao. Today dish is nicely not sweet, could be more spicy and flavorful for my taste.

Diner Review №44

Diner Review №45

This place is pretty good. It’s not always open but I love their rice.

Diner Review №46

Great tofu massaman. Thank you and Aloha

Diner Review №47

Diner Review №48

Omg, I had the papaya salad here 4 days in a row. The flavor is most authentic to what I had I Thailand. The silver noodle salad is super refreshing too!

Diner Review №49

Good take out

Diner Review №50

The food at Bangkok Villa is the most fresh of all Thai restaurants in Hilo. Order the Larb and get it spicy hot if you want to be reminded of how Thai food tastes in Thailand!

Diner Review №51

Good food, made to order, today got their green curry with seafood. Enjoyed with brown rice. Takeout container surcharge to help defray pandemic associated costs for eateries. They have one table for one on the sidewalk that I was able to enjoy.

Diner Review №52

Unfortunately the food quality wasn’t even reaching the average standard of Thai restaurants in the states. We ordered pineapple fried rice, did not find any pineapple there, rice was clustered, taste like soy sauce; Pat Thai was a nightmare, smelled like plastic and tasted like plastic as well, we did not finish the full portion and threw it away.

Diner Review №53

Amazing food!! So fresh!! Best Thai food I’ve had on Hawai’i Island. We ordered from doordash and it was super quick. The only thing I could say is that I don’t think all of their takeout packaging is compostable but I could be wrong. Mahalo for the tasty healthy dinner!!

Diner Review №54

Food was very good.

Diner Review №55

Nice and easy, no fuss, great prices and very tasty

Diner Review №56

Very fresh and flavorful, and not overburdened with spice. I havenʻt had a bad dish there and they never disappoint.

Diner Review №57

It was the best green curry I ever had. Absolutely delicious. Service was very good and friendly. The place was super clean, though humble. What a great experience

Diner Review №58

Great local owned place. A small outdoor garden to eat outside. We had curry and outmeals were great. Good prices, too.

Diner Review №59

So good!

Diner Review №60

Good pricing on food. This is a small shop run by a Thai family. Good place to eat if hungry and on a budget.

파인애플 커리는 독특하면서 맛있었어요
팟타이도 좋았구요
짜지 않아서 입맛에 맞은듯

Covered outdoor seating.

Diner Review №71

Diner Review №72

Loved it. Fresh, good flavors, reasonable prices and not pretentious. Those that complain about a long wait go find a nice chain restaurant where you can get your frozen food microwaved. Absolutely love finding a family restaurant where my food is cooked to order and brought out fresh as soon as it's done, fantastic for family style sharing.

Diner Review №73

Awesome

Diner Review №74

Nice napkins

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

Kind of a bad location, decent food and prices.its a little hard to get into parking lot because of construction but that's temporary I'm guessing.

Diner Review №77

Small little corner place, with a small indoor and outdoor seating area. The food was excellent. The service was a bit slow, otherwise this would be 5 stars.

Diner Review №78

まあまあ!!

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

This is a hidden gem. Food is fresh and cooked to perfection. The service is friendly. We'll be back!

Diner Review №85

We had the pineapple curry (tofu) and pad kee mao (tofu). The pineapple curry was awesome, and I'd definitely recommend it. The pad kee mao was a bit disappointing, as it didn't seem to have the sauce I associate with it. Over all though it's a pleasant place with yummy food.

Diner Review №86

Good food, good service and fair price.

Diner Review №87

Absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked Thai food! And the dessert was exceptional. Great service, very friendly and quick to deliver the meals. Wonderful dining atmosphere. I have tried a lot of Thai restaurants and this is phenomenal! Recommended for everyone.

Diner Review №88

Great food here! My boyfriend and have tried many Thai restaurants in Hilo but this food is superior! Try it! New owners really know what they are doing!

Diner Review №90

The best Thai food in Hilo.. cooking in the moment, super fresh vegetable, perfect cooked.

Diner Review №91

Great tasting food and reasonable prices.

Diner Review №92

Old Thai lady cooking, son helping. Cozy little place. The food is made fresh from scratch in a pot, it takes a little while to get your food. Worth the weight. Enjoy - J

Diner Review №93

Great Thai food, made by the owner. Very cheap. Loved it. Medium spicy is enough.

Diner Review №94

The food was OK if nontraditional, and the pricing wasn't atrocious, however service was quite slow, to the point where our table of four received our entrees one at a time over a period of 10-15 minutes, and the restaurant wasn't even busy at the time. That simply makes the meal awkward for the first recipients, and rushed for the last recipients...
