Stir-fries with a choice of noodle & curries round at the menu at this casual Thai restaurant.
We had a fantastic dining experience at King of Thai Boat Noodles in Waikiki. The papaya salad, made without fish sauce, was a refreshing start. Despite the omission, the dish retained its tangy, vibrant flavor with crisp green papaya and a perfect balance of lime and spice. It was light and delicious. The vegetable green curry stole the show with its rich, creamy coconut base and vibrant flavors. The vegetables were cooked to perfection, and the curry’s subtle heat brought everything together beautifully. The Pad Ga Prow was another standout, featuring fragrant Thai basil, a bold kick of chili, and well-balanced seasoning. It was hearty, satisfying, and authentically Thai. To round out our meal, the vegetarian spring rolls were crisp and golden, with a fresh veggie filling and a sweet chili sauce that complemented them perfectly. The service was warm and attentive, and the casual atmosphere made for a relaxed meal. If you’re in Waikiki craving Thai food, this place is a must-visit!
Wanted a fairly quick meal and this place was close and the menu looked good. We ordered the Deep Fried Dumplings (he ate all of them and said they were delicious, as I don’t eat pork), and Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken and Shrimp. I had the Veggie Pad Thai it lightly spiced and delicious. Service was excellent and all the food was hot and so yummy. Would definitely eat here again and try something different from the large menu as it was difficult to make a choice this time.
Fresh made delicious Authentic Thai Food. I went here for Lunch ordered Shrimp Pad Thai, best I’ve had and I’m a foodie check my other reviews. Tonight I walked the entire designer row for dinner so many options and wandered back in for some Drunken Noodles another amazing dish. Beautiful staff not that matters I know shame on me. Fast friendly service. Pricing is typical of the area but whatever you pay it’s worth it. If you visit Waikiki, I highly recommend them.
They are right with their slogan, they might not be a best Thai restaurant but they have the best Thai food ! Spicy level reminds me of my country. They maintain the spicy level how you want them to be.
The food taste is very good. I’m a Thai food person when I tell you the food is good that means it’s a recommendation for you to try.
Duck curry
Shrimp Thai fried rice
Pineapple fried rice
Try all three 🎉

Food 8.5/10
Atmosphere 8/10
Absolutely delicious authentic Thai cuisine in the heart of Waikiki! Service was outstanding and fast. Food was perfectly spiced, hot to the American palate, but neither overwhelming nor hot without flavor. We returned here from our last visit in June, and true to form - King of Thai Boat Noodles delivered!!
Update: The King of Consistency, King Of Thai Boat Noodles delivers yet again! Great food, great atmosphere, great value
We stopped by for lunch at King of Thai oat Needles, while visiting Honolulu. The restaurant is fairly small. Service was prompt and friendly. There was a good selection of food to choose from. The Pad Thai was delicious and the Tom Yum soup that we shared was quite tasty. I would recommend that you give the place a try if you are in the neighborhood.
Great food (I got khao soi and it was AMAZING) and great spice options for those interested!! Great service and a really refreshing space away from super touristy Honolulu
The food was excellent no complaints here on my food but the chicken was dried
Good food. Picked both our dishes from the specials menu. Recommend the beef massaman stew. Fantastic flavours.
珍しくワイキキで集まったので、行った事の無いタイ料理に行ってみよう♪
という事で、行って来ました♪
5人で行ったので、アレコレ試せて良かったです😊
ただ、お味はまぁまぁでした😅
チキンライスはご飯がベチャっとしすぎていて、お味もとても微味。
トムヤムスープは味がボヤけていて、期待していたトムヤムとは程遠いお味でした。
そしてドラフトビールはクアーズライトとMaui Brewingの2種類があったんですが、クアーズライトは薄過ぎる...?
美味しいお料理もいくつも有りました!!
BYOB慣れしてるせいもあると思いますが、このお味でこのお値段は高いなぁ...と感じました。
Service was excellent, the food was pretty meh.

The best Thai food we ate for a long time!
We came back two days in a row to try diffenrt things on the menu and it was great all over again.
Highly recommended!
We got 3 stir fry noodles and a papaya salad. I would’ve given the food 4 stars if not for the following issues:
1. There was no egg in one of the pad see ewes
2. The food came out really staggered, the last pad see ewe was 20 minutes after the first noodle came out and our friends were done eating at that point.
3. The waiter dropped the dishes off but didn’t tell us which was which and since we got the pad kee mao as vegetarian, it wasn’t immediately obvious whose it was and we had to eat it to find out
4. Our two pad see ewes tasted different
Great food super fast and attentive friendly staff. Good drinks
Decided to give this place a try since it has great reviews on here.
#1 Food portions are very small for portion/price
#2 Staff constantly all yapping in their language super loud (very annoying as who knows if they talking bad things )
#3
The waitress was zero-friendly. She was pretty and I didn't even flirt once. She never smiled or was kind even a tad.
#4 brought 2 napkins with my meal and never acknowledged me if need more or if food ok. Which every waiter is supposed to do once the food is eaten.
#5
I had to get her attention just to close my check.
#6 I asked to do a mobile bay, so they told me, to come to the cashier, and then when I got to the cashier, some other ladies, told me, to put my card inside like I was dumb. I go I know how to use it credit card Terminal and I am not using my card. Then the one that served me tells me" Yeah, just tap on the top". That's all you're supposed to do I go I know that she's telling me to put my card in and I'm telling her I don't have a card. And I told her too, I'm not dumb. I know how to use this thing. Meanwhile, they're all yapping some stuff in their language about me. I tapped and paid, and for the first time in like years, I left her zero tip and I looked at her and smiled.
Everyone in there was asian eating, also very friendly with them, but not to non-Asians I guess.
Green curry and fried rice were good. Pad see EW had a charcoal flavour and roti was below average. Food did come quickly. Disappointed by lack of wifi and vibe of music playing.
맛있는데 사람이 별로없음
팟타이 맛나게 먹음
Large portions of tasty food, soup was excellent, everything was fresh and we had a great experience.
The most delicious Thai food I ever eat since I moved to USA.. I try so many Thai restaurants but the favor not real authentic Thai food. This place is exactly the taste of Thai
The Pad Thai with pork was so good, and the portions are generous! I had enough leftover for a whole separate meal. A great place to go after walking around Waikīkī
Very good Thai cuisine. Authentic.
Ordered three simple Thia dishes for takeout. Pad Se Ew. Pad Thai, and Yellow Curry. Nothing tasted bad but it was all very bland with little spice or flavor. The broccoli in the Pad Se Ew was only broccoli stems and pieces. The noodle and vegetables in the yellow curry was not cooked. We ate the curry but dumped all the vegetables because they were not cooked.
I recently visited "King of Thai Boat Noodles" in Oahu and tried their Pad Kee Mao (Drunken) Noodles- both vegetarian (Tofu) as well as chicken options (because we had to visit this place twice ♥️) - medium spicy and seasoned them with some chilly vinegar, hot sauce and chilly oil. Noodles were perfectly cooked and had a satisfying spice level. The dish was absolutely delightful and practically melted in my mouth...ohhh my mouth started watering! The portion size was generous, making it a great value for the price. If you're a fan of Thai cuisine or want to become one, I highly recommend giving the Pad Kee Mao noodles a try!
Staff were also exceptional. They greeted us with warm smiles and friendly faces. Service was prompt & attentive, with the staff frequently checking into everyone.
The great part is because they have lots of visitors, they have posted a paper & pen right in front of the door to let you write your name & number of people with you, and they call you on your turn when the table is ready.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND having a meal here. BEST THAI FOOD ever. Got Pad Kee Mao and it was so good that on my last day in Oahu, had to go in again just for this dish one more time. If you are ever in Oahu, pls do try this place. Staff is the sweetest here as well so that is a cherry on top. Lovely Service and Yummiest Food = Perfect meal :)
This place is so good! This is my first time here and I can't wait to come back!!
Food is great, staff very attentive and super quick take out service

牛肉のヌードルとパッタイ(やきそば)、餃子、クラフトビールをいただきました。
どの料理も本当に美味しかったです!
創業1994年ということで長く続いてる理由のわかる美味しさでした。
特に牛肉のヌードルは牛の出汁が出ていて
ベトナムのフォーを牛肉ベースの味わいに仕立てたような料理になっていて特に美味しかったです。
パッタイも本場タイの味!美味でした。
※パクチーが苦手な方はパクチーを避けてもらった方が良いかと思います。餃子などはパクチーが入ってないので食べやすいです。
店員スタッフの方も印象が良く、スムーズにコミュニケーションできました。
そして何より助かったのは営業時間で、ハワイはどこの店も夜閉まってしまっているのですが深夜1時まで営業しているのでとても助かりました。
また伺いたいとおもいます!
The noodle soup tastes good but the size is way too small.
Excellent Thai food, with excellent service in a small setup in the Waikiki Beach area. High in demand, usually packed,. sometimes hard to get seat. They do not take reservation, only walk-ins.
Great place!
Don't recommend for vegetarians. My family ordered fried rice with tofu and vegetables (mostly just onion). There was literally one small piece of Tofu in the rice. Was very bland too. I ordered Pad Thai without eggs. I got my first plate after 15 minutes and it contained eggs. So the server went back. It took another 20 minutes for me to get my plate. Meanwhile, I guess they wanted the table, and they brought our bill before the service was completed. Servers were courteous for sure however. May be just a vegetarian issue.
Food was average at the best. The waitress was impatient, mistook our order, and then argue with us. It was not a pleasant experience.
Decent food. A bit expensive
I was initially excited when I walked into this restaurant, thinking I’d found an authentic Thai spot. The sticker at the front of their restaurant literally translates to “Thai food like Thailand,” so I fully expected them to back up their claim. Unfortunately, this couldn’t have been further from the truth.
I ordered the Pumpkin Curry and Cashew Stir Fry, and the portion sizes were absolutely atrocious for $17 per dish. The Pumpkin Curry was so watered down it looked like Tom Yum soup, and after reading other reviews, I realized I wasn’t the only one who experienced this issue. To make matters worse, rice wasn’t even included, and the portion size was equivalent to a child’s cereal bowl. Even though we weren’t very hungry, the portions still felt completely inadequate and disappointing.
On top of the subpar food, one of the waitresses was extremely rude. She barely acknowledged us, only nodded her head twice while taking my order, then walked away without a word. When she came back to ask me a question, her tone and attitude were shockingly unprofessional for a sit-down restaurant.
As a Thai person, this experience was especially disheartening. It left such a bad impression that I didn’t even want to eat Thai food again for the rest of my trip. Save your money and your appetite—this place isn’t worth it.
The food was delicious and was surprised to find they had my favorite northern Thai cuisine, Khao soi. It’s a pretty busy place and the staff don’t have much time to engage with clients.
Solid Thai food, relatively cheap for Waikiki area. Fast and friendly service.
So good, glass noodle soup is bangin’
Staff are friendly, big menu with the standard Thai dishes that you'd expect anywhere in a major city. Taste wise the boat noodles are good, could use a little more herbs in my preferences but it's definitely good for what it is. Just that I wished they would give you a bigger amount of noodles or soup or even bean sprouts for $20. I guess it's the norm here in HI
first of all, I wanna say we were the first one who came here and we were the last one who got any food. I felt like it might have been racially motivated, but idk. Im trying to be fair because we did come on thanksgiving. The pad thai tasted like throw up. We didn’t even take a bite of that without spitting it out and had two shirmp. We tried to tell the waiter if we could either take it back or replace it but she was very rude and didn’t let us. If you’re thinking of visiting this establishment while you are in Waikiki , I would say hell no.
Fresh made delicious Authentic Thai Food. I went here for Lunch ordered Shrimp Pad Thai, best I’ve had and I’m a foodie check my other reviews. Tonight I walked the entire designer row for dinner so many options and wandered back in for some Drunken Noodles another amazing dish. Beautiful staff not that matters I know shame on me.

I was craving Thai food so I decided to stop here and I’m happy I did. Great food and friendly staff. I had to go back one more time before catching my flight home.
Some of the best Thai I’ve had outside of Thailand. Everything our group had was good. So good we went back a second time during our weeklong visit.
My friends and I liked this restaurant so much! We were here a couple times, and all dishes were delicious!
Tom Yum was piquant with a lot of seafood and was served in perfect cookware that keeps it hot. The Duck Soup and Seafood soup were also good, you can select any type of noodles that you want to add to it! The Pad See Ew were very satisfying and well-cooked.
The restaurant is nice, service is great, I definitely recommend to visit this restaurant!
Wanted a fairly quick meal and this place was close and the menu looked good.

Really nice food here and a good menu selection. Friendly staff, great service.
Food was good but they had small portions for the price.
Delicious vegetarian noodle soup that was hearty and upped the morale
ระหว่างทริปสั้นๆ ฉันได้ทานอาหารอร่อยๆ ที่นี่ และฉันก็ได้พบกับสาวไทยแสนสวยคนหนึ่ง มันเป็นช่วงเวลาที่มีความสุขมากสำหรับฉัน ฉันหวังว่าพระเจ้าเราจะได้พบกันอีก
Great food and service!!! Extra clean!!! I ate every bit of my food!! I highly recommend!!!
Love this place. Great thai food, decent drinks and friendly service
I ordered pineapple n shrimp fried rice and pork pad kra pao. First time they forgot the fried egg but charged me the same price when I ordered the same few days later with fried egg, but over all the food was delicious specially the steamed rice, I could just eat those with fried egg everyday.
Friendly servers and nice location but I must agree with others that the food is not the best authentic Thai food. We had the fried vegetarian egg rolls and the pad Thai with chicken. The egg rolls were a tad gummy (I like doughy products to be fried hard) and the pad Thai was so sweet to be almost inedible. Tried to help it with hot sauce, extra peanuts and bean sprouts (which were nice and fresh), but that didn’t help much. So I wouldn’t return here again.
한국인 입맛에 잘맞는 타이음식점입니다
서양식에 질릴때 한번 가보세요 추천!
I have lived in Thailand 10 years, I was a teacher at Chulalonkhalo military academy, I have eaten at hundreds of Thai restaurants here in the states, this restraint is hands down had the best Thai food outside of Thailand!! If you eat there you will not be disappointed!! We are more than happy!! You will love it!
Been here twice during our vacation. Noodle soup and crispy salmon were really good. Crispy pork belly with basil could have been better. The girl with tattoo was super friendly and attentive, the two other girls were not so friendly.
Pad siew amazing!
하와이 음식 질렸을때 오기 딱 좋음. 팟타이 쏨땀 볶음밥 한국에서 먹는 태국음식이랑 비슷해요! 국적불문 사람 많고 서비스도 친절하고요. 하와이서 오랜만에 맛있게 먹은 곳!
The restaurant is clean, the food is delicious, the service is fast.
Not from Hawaii but my expectations were definitely not met with this restaurant. We used Uber Eats and requested that cutlery to be included because we are staying in a Hotel. No cutlery was included with our meal. Thank goodness had cutlery from earlier that day. We Ordered the Tom Yum , Pineapple fried rice and Pad Thai Pork. The TomYum was pretty much spot on with the flavors I've had from most restaurants although the shrimp was a little rubbery. I'm led to believe most of the food here ,might be pre cooked and frozen and not exactly fresh. The mushrooms were in balls ? Looked liked floating eyes in my soup container. Shrimp were very Large. The Pineapple fried rice was good I will recommend this dish as it did seem to be made from fresh ingredients and was tasteful Definitely a good dish. The Pad Thai was a complete disappointment had two bites both my wife and I had to throw it away. Unfortunately it was not good. If I had been at the restaurant I would have spoke to the management. I will most likely be pursuing a deduction from this charge . I wouldn't recommend this restaurant or if you eat here because it's open late Don't order the Pad Thai. Not sure how they call themselves King of Noodles when the Pad Thai Noodles were the worst I've ever tasted. Either way the restaurant meets convince because of hours opened but as far as food , this was not a good choice I hope that all of those that see my post know I'm being genuine in my review and extremely honest.
注文してすぐに出てきた、そして美味しい。
日本人の口にも合います。
The dishes were tasty however the portions were way too small for the given price.
This used to be my favorite Thai in town but over the last few months the food quality has deteriorated and the portions have become much smaller. Bring back the old panang recipe
Very subpar food. Full of salt and sugar. No flavor no herbs ... it seems the cook had no pride in the food they served.
It was so good , and so kind
Good food, very enjoyable.It has a lot of good food on the menu
Excellent Thai food in a nice relaxed atmosphere. Thankyou for an enjoyable meal!
My favorite place for boat noodle every time I visit! Delicious!
อาหารอร่อยมากๆ ค่ะ รสชาติถูกปาก แต่หวานนำนะคะสำหรับเย็นตาโฟและส้มตำ ก๋วยเตี๋ยวหมูน้ำซุปกลมกล่อมค่ะ ใส่แค่พริกกับน้ำส้มสายชูเพิ่มก็อร่อย สำหรับเย็นตาโฟเราเติมน้ำส้มเพิ่มเพื่อตัดหวานลงก็อร่อยค่ะ คนที่ไม่ชอบทานหวานต้องแจ้งทางร้านตอนสั่งนะคะ สำหรับเรามาจากชลบุรีเราเลยติดหวาน เลยถูกปากเราจ้า
I come here every time I travel to Oahu. It’s really good food, good prices, ambiance is not fancy but nice. Service is always amazing. My favorite dish is the pork belly Thai basil. But everything I’ve tried here has been good. If you don’t want to break the bank and have a good meal, this is the place to go🥳
They are right with their slogan, they might not be a best Thai restaurant but they have the best Thai food ! Spicy level reminds me of my country. They maintain the spicy level how you want them to be.
The food taste is very good. I’m a Thai food person when I tell you the food is good that means it’s a recommendation for you to try.
Duck curry
Shrimp Thai fried rice
Pineapple fried rice
Try all three 🎉

살면서 배달, 음식, 식당 리뷰를 최초로 남겨봅니다. 이 식당에서 최악의 인종 차별과 서비스를 경험했습니다. 서양인은 1명인든 2명이든 4인 의자가 포함되어 있는 넓은 테이블에 앉아있는 상태에서 2인 손님인 저와 일행은 아주 좁은 테이블로 안내받았습니다. 비어있는 넓은 테이블이 충분히 여유 있어 테이블을 옮길 수 있는지 문의를 했더니 저기는 4인용 테이블이라는 대답과 함께 2-3차례 주문만 강요하더군요. 이에 정식으로 재문의를 하자 화장실 바로 앞 4인 테이블로 안내 받았습니다. 이후 음식이 나올 때는 어떠한 코멘트도 없이 음식을 테이블에 집어던지듯이 놓더군요. 그 곳의 가장 나이가 많아보이는 남, 여 서버 모두가 그랬습니다. 두 번 다신 방문할 예정이 없지만 다른 이들도 이러한 경험을 하지 않으시길 바라며 리뷰 남깁니다.
The prad kra prow was cooked well. It had all the flavors. So lunch was not a total loss.
Okay what went wrong. Never had a prad kra prow without a “fried egg”, ie sunny side up egg so that was a bit of a surprise. Egg is essential in ka prow.
The rice, white rice, was a bit undercooked. Manageable but definitely undercooked.
The fish cakes. Definitely not fish cakes. Not sure what they were. No crunch to the outside and goodness on the inside. Just meh. Like a sausage more than a fish cake. Not at all worth the 18 bucks for fish cakes three tomato slices and two cucumber slices. Honestly never had such plastic tasting anything in a Thai restaurant.
Sadly I was expecting more with the traditional look and selection of sauces on the table. But the food definitely did not keep up with the decor.
Fantastic delicious and priced right.
Waikiki
BEST SPOT IN WAIKĪKI!!! My girlfriend and I went to several nice high end dinners / spots. THIS IS THE SPOT!! The absolute greatest people and amazing service. THE BEST FOOD IVE HAD IN WAIKĪKĪ!! A MUST!! Everyone here is so nice and so great at their job. The food is to die for. We are so bummed to be going home solely because of this spot!! Got everything within 5 min and before I could finish my beer the next one was served!!
The food was delicious and staff was friendly. Online it said they had a happy hour but apparently it’s seasonal. It was also very hot in there, I felt like I was overheating, so that’s something to consider.
Great Quick Service.
Had the Curry. The portions seemed a little small but overall the flavor was great. Will go back for more. Ordered a second curry to go.
This is our first time eating Thai food in Waikiki. This establishment is small with a nice ambiance. The menu has lots of the popular Thai dishes. We ordered the seafood, vegetarian noodle soup +chicken, spicy vegetarian pad kee mao, chicken pad see yew, and roasted duck over rice. As seen in the photo the seafood noodle bowl size is standard; however, the flat rice noodle ratio was small. Basically, all the noodles fit in one spoon. I was really surprised with the noodle portion. The vegetarian pad kee so was supposed to be spicy (there was a chili next to it on the menu) but there was no spice at all. The dish was also drenched with oil. When asked about it, the server said you can add the chili oil or dried chili. The other three dishes were delicious. Overall all the dishes were flavorful except for the minor observation aforementioned. We used a 10% coupon found in the coupon book. After I paid they forgot to return my credit card. Had to go to the cashier to ask for my card back.
Món ăn đa dạng, pad thái và trà sữa thái hơi ngọt
Fint sted, pris okay.
Came here two times while we stayed in for our short week stay in Waikiki. Recommend the boat noodles and other dishes here because it’s authentic, flavorful, and brought us back to our hometown. Met with the sweet and caring retired owner of this restaurant who welcomed my family. They accommodated and upgraded my request with ease. Highly recommend. They open late too. Will definitely come back the next time.
Good portions, good food, reasonable prices
We stopped by for lunch at King of Thai oat Needles, while visiting Honolulu. The restaurant is fairly small. Service was prompt and friendly. There was a good selection of food to choose from. The Pad Thai was delicious and the Tom Yum soup that we shared was quite tasty. I would recommend that you give the place a try if you are in the neighborhood.
Delicious food, very attentive and friendly staff, and speedy cooking make for a good experience here
Ba mee geow mu daeng,
nahm was LEGIT. So good
the broth in the thai boat noodle soup (pork) was excellent and the perfect first meal after landing in oahu.
no frills, great service.
So it’s happened!! We just had the absolute worst Thai that we have ever had. We ordered takeout. My husband ordered the fried rice with beef, which was gluggy, tasteless and pretty well void of vegetables & beef. I ordered the duck curry. I have to say that the red curry sauce was passable BUT the meal was full of slimy skin, 3 very small pieces of duck (?), some chunks of pineapple and green pepper. Honestly the VERY WORST Thai meals that we have ever ( tried) to eat. Thankfully BK was just around the corner from our hotel.
Awesome authentic Thai food.
Small, but great food and nice portions! Service was that of a 5star restaurant!
Pad thai was traditional but slightly spicy
My wife and I came to King of Thai Boat under the recommendation of our hotel’s concierge. I had the Sea food noodle soup and my wife had the Pumpkin curry. The pumpkin curry was on point as it was thick and creamy with the flavor of coconut and of course real pumpkin pieces that are well roasted. Complimented with calamari’s and mussels it was delicious.
My seafood noodle soup however it was on the saltiest side and the portions were slightly small. But my wife did gave me portion of her curry with rice to make up for it. So overall it was great. The price is fair in comparison to other options in the area. I would come here again although we don’t have that many days left to our trip and there are many other options.
The best Thai food in Waikiki Hawaii. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. We will definitely come back soon!
Der Chef, das Personal kommen aus Thailand mit der entsprechenden Freundlichkeit und einem tollen Service. Die Empfehlungen waren absolute Klasse. Wir haben dieses Restaurant während unseres Aufenthaltes sogar zwei Mal besucht.
This Thai place probably alter their cooking style to suit the taste of western audiences - which I think is fine considering it’s in Hawaii. However it doesn’t tick for me
The taste of the food is surely not authentic Thai for sure. I have been to Thailand many times and I’m sure ASEANS or Thai would agree with me if they do visit this place. The spice and flavour just didn’t kick in. Oh there’s no lemongrass in Tom yum soup! No way… I mean the food is edible and portion is decent for this price point. But sorry to say I couldn’t accept eating this kind of subpar Thai food.
I walked in and even heard the staff talking to each other in Thai then I sat down. Oh no… I shouldn’t have.
Service is ok but you can sense they want to turn over their table fast so they just pass u the check when you seem to be done with your food… without you even asking for it.
My wife and I came here for dinner and the food was so good! We came during happy hour and their prices were so fair and probably the best around as we have noticed. Their service was quick and their communication was spot on as we always had someone different assist us. Food came out almost immediately and tasted like it's been cooking for hours! I say if you love thai food definitely go here.
Good thai food for central Waikiki.
All of our dishes were amazing. Packed with a lot of taste and the perfect size.
However, by the time my brother got his plate, I was already finished. And by the time my dad got his plate, we had been sitting around long finished and ready to go.
Went here for lunch and they were out of everything I tried to order including Thai Tea and all the desserts.
The food was delicious. I asked to make my meal Thai hot. It was really nice and spicy.
After a long day of swimming and sunbathing, we were looking for dinner. One that was preferably opened late and we found this spot.
Food: We love Thai food and grew up in Thailand for 12 years. When we say, we know the local flavor, we mean it. What we ordered:
- pad see ew: stir fry thai noodles, it was good. it wasn't super sweet or salty. it could be more flavorful though. 3.5/5
- khao moo dang: the sauce isn't thick like what it's supposed to be. it wasn't sweet either but liquid-y and salty. the meat was dry. the egg was good and the chinese sausage was good too. 3/5
Atmosphere and Service: we were seated pretty quickly. the ambience is welcoming and not overly loud. It was a nice and relaxing atmosphere after a long day.
Overall, I'd recommend trying other dishes, maybe their boat noodles since its in their restaurant name. I wouldn't necessarily recommend what we got because it was subpar at best. I couldn't even finish half of my food.
Service was fantastic. Our waitress name was Aleena and provided great recommendations of delicious dishes and the atmosphere was excellent. I recommend it :)
Food was great! The Boat noodle was perfect and the papaya salad was very refreshing. Service could use a little improvement.
First time to try this Thai restaurant. Probably won't go back. Got the fried tofu as appetizer. Over fried. Was just chewy leather with no seasoning or rice flour coating. Sauce is just sweet and sour sauce with red pepper flakes out of a bottle. The main entree I got was Rad Bar with crispy noodles. Noodles tasted like old burn grease oil. The seafood medley was lacking in taste, seasoning. Nothing special. Sorry. But honest.
Terrific place! Highly recommend. Noodles were exceptional. Pinnacle Fried Rice was amazing. Great service.
really amazing and quick to getting our food. Ladies there are really sweet and kind. Good food too.
Delicioso!!!
The food was good! But at the end, we felt a bit rushed to leave after we ate because the staff came to our table so many times to check if we finished eating 😂
ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรืออร่อยนะครับ. ถ้ามาเที่ยวฮาวายจะมาแวะอีก
The Thai boat noodles with beef was good. I just wish the portions were slightly larger. Service was good and attentive, however staff should be mindful when speaking Thai in front of customers, the owner said to the wait staff if they're attentive and good to the customers they will tip more, which isn't a problem but training should be done behind closed doors. I shall return the next time I'm visiting Hawaii.
This place is always great! We always come here for Khao Soi 😋😋😋😋😋
100% recommended!!!!!
Devine and authentic Thai food. Definitely coming back!
I got the pad kee moa. It was really tasting and the waitresses were very nice and very attentive.
I ordered the pad thai, beef noodle soup, and pork noodle soup. Pad thai was great, beef noodle soup wasn't worth the price for a small portion and the soup was too concentrated, and the pork noodle soup wasn't good. They gave me the wrong soup base and didn't give me the ingredients as advertised on the menu. Not a fan of restaurants who advertise one thing and give you something else.
Super affordable and amazing food
My family were hesitated at first, but when we finally order the foods, we've changed our minds 180°. The foods were great comparing to many other Thai restaurants we have been to. My obnoxious kids, two girls of 15 & 18 yrs old, gave so much compliments to the foods they order which surprised me a lot. My MIL loves her noodle as well, she is a very selective food eater. The restaurant was super clean and cozy, the service is great and quick. Overall, we were happy with this restaurant. Recommend for everyone who are Thai foods lovers.
We made an order 40 minutes ago and walked all the way to pick it up. Turned out it’s not even accepted in “the system” and not started yet. Our credit card has been charged and that’s pretty much it. Their manager will call us to resolve the billing on the credit card. Not even offered to sit down and eat. Just great.
Khao Soi is amazing!
As a Thailand born vegan/vegetarian, this is by far the best Thai food I have had outside of Thailand. Chef anthony made amazing Tom yum noodle soup, vegetarian; for us. And even the Krapow and Pad see ew was super.
Great tasty food with good portions. The Thai Boat Noodle Soup (Beef) is highly recommended. The restaurant has a nice ambience and it was not crowded which was bonus.
Nice restaurant for someone dont wanna Hawaii food.
This was a pretty good 👍🏾 place.
My stir fry was on point, with the heat and scear from the woke was in the flavor of the food, My inly complaint about my dish was I added a meat and it was $ 5.00 dollars to add, I felt that for the amout if meat that was in the dish it was an over priced add on.
The Chi Tea was good, for my TRUE liking, the tea was a bit weak.
This was the only thing that kept it from being a truly delightful Chi.
The missies fried rice was explained as good, and the duck was tender and well seasoned.
We will return.
Khao soi is delish!
Food was great and service was ok. New waitress didn’t pass our request to chef as her English was not great but it’s not a big deal. Tv screens all around the restaurant made it feel a bit tacky.
Yummy vegetarian khao soi 😋😋
I loved the pad thai with pork. Great flavor with just the right amount of spice!
