Outpost supplying hearty portions of homestyle Thai fare in easygoing accommodations.
Outside of Bangkok itself, Bangkok Chef is on point with Thai food. Everything we ordered was very authentic and delicious. Having been to Thailand many times, it is quite a delight to find a gem like Bangkok Chef where they make real Thai food. Not customized to the American palate but real Thai cooking where you can actually smell the galangang and the Nam Pra in the food.
The lady who served us was very polite, professional and very attentive. One step ahead of us.
I highly recommend this place if you happen to be looking for real Thai food on the island.
We entered this restaurant by coincidence and the food we ordered were unexpectedly delicious. The tastes reminded me of the cuisines in my hometown. Most importantly, the staffs were very friendly and nice, I left my cap there, they helped me keep it and waited till I came to the store to pick it up. Thank you very much! If you wanna get good service and have a nice time during your trip, I strongly recommend you to try this restaurant.
I ordered one of the most famous dishes of the Thai cuisine in the States, Chicken Pad Thai, the flavor was good, unfortunately the delivery of the dish was disappointing, my Chicken Pad Thai, had only 2 small pieces of chicken, no peanuts, no lime, I got a small bag with chili which was a good detail, so basically I got a bowl of cooked pan fried noodles for $18 bucks.
Foods were ok. We had pad thai and pas si u. Honestly both tasted same, no different in the tastes. They have fruit pudings: mango, taro, coconut, Okinawa sweet potatoes, ……
The service was great. She was nice and friendly. Also the restaurant has a parking next yo it at the left side.
my first time in 2024 eating here today.
I have came back to see if there prices change again 😕, which they are, for 4th time in two years.
It's very small /nice places to enjoy my lunch ; Order Fish 🐟 fried rice and PhoThai Beef with noodles soup 🍜.
Was very good and tasty 😋😋
also I had tried their 🍨 Tapioca coffee dessert 🍮 , very good 👍.
Every time I find a great place to eat and prices are cheap, but after I have given them a positive review on Google.
So, everybody comes.
And now, they are jacking up their prices too much now.
Sometimes owners will price 500 to 800% markups.
This will be my last time coming back.
Possible - maybe 🧐 I'm going to stop giving good reviews.
This is my first time ordering from this restaurant. I ordered the tofu green curry with steamed rice, iced Thai tea, and spring rolls. (I'd have more photos but I really just wanted to eat my food. It's so good!) Also, this order was made on Uber Eats. (Takeout)
The green curry is flavorful, fresh, and addicting. It does have a little bit of a spice kick and the coconut milk mellows out the spice. The veggies were tender and the overall portion size is great! The Thai tea was very refreshing and a little sweet. The spring rolls were so tasty, it had a good crunch from the fresh lettuce, the sauce it came with tasted awesome! The packaging the food came in seemed to be in high quality and came in a cute paper bag! The containers the food came in felt very sturdy and the food was still piping hot! Thank you for the great food, I can tell it's made with lots of love! I highly recommend this restaurant! :)
This is my first time eating here today, very small /nice places to enjoy my lunch ; Order a Shrimp (7) and spicy Green Eggplants with noodles. Was very tasty 😋😋 ( even those over cooked 6% the 🍤 ); also I had tried their 🍨 Tapioca Taro dessert 🍮 , very good 👍. Next time I will try their Thai Beef noodles soup 🍜, the Chef 👨🍳 given me samples of the beef soup, it was delicious 😋😋😋 !!!

Shady way of handing change with 20.00 missing and not looking at the receipt nor the change and handing me the 20 dollars. Why do business like that. Very disappointing 😞
MY SON LOVES IT 😊

I ordered Pad Thai with chicken on Uber Eats and I got pork instead. And the noodle is super soggy and no flavor at all. This is the worst Pad Thai I’ve ever had. Never ordering it again.
Always fast to answer! My aunti has been going here for 24 years and only had one bad experience. Such a great place
Food excellent! Spring roll delicious, Panang curry wonderful, papaya salad just right ✅ Clean and cozy place next to Fukuya.
The food is great 👍 👌 😋 ☺️
Small lil restaurant. Fresh food, good portions, fair prices. Very respectful and friendly workers
Good portions for price. Love the panang curry, they give you lots of meat too!
Delicious.
so good!! especially the thai tea omg literally god send. really good food and the lady at the front with the soft voice was so sweet. thank you for the great food !!

Always Great Food at Very Great Low Prices!
Best location out of all the Bangkok Chefs—always consistent and good.
Their green curry is good. Pad Thai noodle is so so. They didn’t send me an utensils. (Minus points)
Great food; great BYOB policy. Make sure to ask for chili flakes if you like it spicy.
Great Thai food. Just the right amount of spice in the Basil Chicken.
Tasty and spicy. Good customer service. Will go back for sure👍
They prepare very good Thai food
Everything was really good and came out fast.

Chicken wings went from $10.50 to $14.95 that is 1 hell of a price jump if you ask me! That is for 7 chicken wings 2 piece cucumber and sticky rice add 50 cent and sauce I will never buy that again talk about rip off! Maybe if they were healthy wings but these wings barely had any meat also!
Awesome Thai food.
The Thai style pho is delicious and the staff is very friendly and attentive. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you!
This is a Thai chain restaurant with several around the island. It’s good but there’s better if you’re willing to look around. The prices are a bit high but you get a large portion of food so two people could easily split an entree if on a budget. Easy parking. Make sure you’re very specific about your order and ask them to repeat it to you because they have made several mistakes in the past with my orders, especially if you’re calling it in. I love the convenience and reliability across the different restaurants, the quality remains the same throughout. I just wish it was more affordable!
I ordered super spicy yellow curry with shrimp. Instead I was given bland potato soup. Not sure what's going on in the kitchen at this location but I won't be returning.
Used Grubhub tonight for delivery from the King Street location. Everything went fine. Only thing was the Tapioca Dessert I ordered " Banana" was out. I opted for strawberry instead. Just a little disappointed there wasn't fresh strawberries in the Tapioca like the other flavors.
Prices keep going up but still a good value.
I’ve given this place a few chances. The food is edible but there are a ton of Thai restaurants on the island and every one is better. I eat Thai at least 3 days a week.
Food was great. Service was unparalleled! Best in a while. Clean eating area. Reasonable prices. Will return.
Service is amazing! Food is great! I would recommend the pad ki mao! We came on a Sunday around 6pm and there was no wait. Ive never seen a server so polite and attentive!
I'm so happy that my husband and I decided to come to this restaurant. First thing I noticed was that super clean and brightly lit. The place was very inviting and lots of tables to choose from. To top it off, you'll get the best service ever.
They are located on King Street across from Kokua Market and next door to Pucks Alley. There's street parking and a small parking lot that's shared with other restaurants.
Since my hubby turned vegetarian, we asked about vegetarian dishes and the waiter mentioned that all dishes can be vegetarian. By adding vegetables and tofu instead of meat or chicken. He was the friendliest and most helpful waiter that I've ever encountered.
The Pad Thai was one of the best I've had. There noodles were cooked just right with the right amount of seasoning and it wasn't dry. I'm not a fan of yellow curry but this was really tasty. The cook added eggplant and broccoli along with bamboo shoots and tofu. We also had vegetarian summer rolls, though I wanted the regular shrimp summer roll. It's thicker and longer than most summer rolls and a sweet peanut sauce.
So if you're a vegetarian or living with one, check this place out! Good food, fast and great service!!
Service was awesome!!! The food was good too. Would definitely recommend this place.
Enjoyed super tasty tofu pad-thai at this extremely clean, small, 30table-top thai restaurant located in PucksAlley. Food was fresh, served, quickly, nicely portioned, and the host is the most attentive and polite ever seen - truly customer caring which is nice to see. To-go orders were also prepared quickly. If you have a taste for thai, definitely recommend giving BangkokChef a try.
Epic chicken pad thai! Awesome customer service!
Pad thai not bad. Portion size could be better, but it was enough to satisfy.
Great atmosphere and great service! Excellent food and large portions. Easy parking-a must stop for Thai food.
Green curry!!!
King St location, wonderful service, would return solely for that reason. If you want a quick Thai food fix with good ingredients and preparation for the price, this is your place. Green curry with (a bit overcooked) chicken, pad thai with tofu and chicken, spring rolls, stir fries, all good, and NO MSG! They offer delicious, unusual canned beverages, lots of tapioca pudding flavors, and even some house made delightfully thin and crispy taro chips, plain salted or subtly flavored garlic. You can dine in and there is parking available.
The curry is top notch and the staff were very service oriented. The food was great and it was prepared fast.
Big difference from when they first opened!!! Didnt think I would go back, but gave it another try. Glad I did, the food was so good. And the waitress is so nice!
delectable food. Fresh and clean!!
Meh
So ono!😋
really good food - quick and friendly service
You can order their curries, as a 'veggie' (no meat, no fried tofu), or 'ala carte' (few dollars more, with no rice).
Quality food, nice setting, too! Sowadikah, Comkrop ...!
good food, friendly staff and reasonable prices. will definitely keep coming back
It was our first visit there the food was very delicious she had shrimp eggplant over noodles I had pork eggplant over rice both was very delicious and we have side order spring roll that also was delicious the service was great I will say excellent we will return for another visit one day recommend this place personally for everyone who enjoys Thai food price reasonable
Great food, reasonable prices
I eat keto, and I love their chicken sateh. Very tasty and a big portion that lasts me two meals.
Great service, good food.
It's not the best Thai food I've ever had, but still for quick and easy access, I've never had a disappointing meal. This location is more of a sit-down one vs. other locations which are more of a take-out place
Food was ok nice seating
Food was very tasty. The service was great. It was worth the walk from Waikiki.
Consistently enjoyable food at a reasonable price. I enjoy their curries, spring rolls, and chicken satay.
We will never go back there. We regretted going there. It wasn't worth the price. Beef salad was the worst I've had at any Thai place... stringy low grade beef, then some...crappy sugary noodles. Next time, for the money we spent, it's better to go to Sweet Home Glad across the street. We have been going to Sweet Home Glad since both are in the neighborhood, but wanted to try that Thai place but that was a bad idea. Never again
Great place to go superb customer service fantastic food
First visit, House special outstanding, just right amount of spice and heat. Recommend.
Good cheap Thai food, parking is tight though.
Love this new location, I don't have to go into Manoa to get Thai food. The parking lot is to the right of the building. The restaurant is clean and service was excellent. The foo was like the other stores but maybe smaller portions. I would have given them 5 stars if I didn't see the lady chef come out of the bathroom with her rubber gloves on:-(
Simple food. This being their Second location, first I believe was in Nuuanuu and the third being Iwilwei. Counter order style. Order & pay, wait for your name to be called the go and pick up. Food is always tasty and affordable. While not a Thai aficionado the workers are of Southeast Asian ancestry so I am assuming that it is authentic.
Their stir fried entrees are really good. Soup not so much.
Freshest and best price thai food in honolulu.
It is not a fancy but clean and pleasant.
You will not be disappointed.
Staff not friendly and overpriced Thai food cooked by people with no understanding of Thai cuisine. Disappointed.
I was pleasantly surprised to find this place has pretty much the authentic Thai taste in their generous portions. Decent prices and typical friendly Thai smiles of the staff. My #1 place to go to for Thai food. Sawatdee krap! Aroi maak maak!!
Seevice was fast. Ginger chicken was tasty.
We were visiting from Vancouver, Canada and really enjoined the neighbourhood. Except for this place. We had lunch here and we decided to serve it in, despite the cheap look of the place. We had to pay upfront, consequently I had to include the tip before being served. Although I went over 15%, the attitude of the girls behind the counter didn't improve in any way, not showing any interest to help us with the order. We waited to be served, but we were just called to pick up from the counter, although there were two girls and none was busy at that moment. The food was served in styrofoam boxes, even if we made it clear from the beginning that we were ordering "for here". The food was nothing special, maybe very specific thai, but definitely not our taste. And worst of all, prices were very high, not to mention the frustration that the tip was definitely not deserved by the grumpy girls.
Really good food.
