50 Best Thai Restaurants near Aiea

“Best Thai on the island. Always hot, perfect spice level. Great customer service.“

“Food was all right. Service was top notch for a small family-owned restaurant. Ordered the chicken satay which was quite savory. An interesting way of doing the peanut sauce. Not as sweet as other places back it on the mainland. Ordered the the drunken noodle Thai spicy, but couldn't get the spiciness I wanted. But the seafood in it was well done and tasty“

“My husband and I spent 24 hours in Honolulu and discovered this wonderful Thai Bistro! The service was very friendly and attentive to our preferences. We ordered spring rolls, brown rice, Penang chicken curry, and green curried chicken. Oh, the flavors were perfectly blended! It’s the best Thai food we’ve had outside of Thailand. We highly recommend Thai Bistro Suksabay!“

“My favorite panang curry on island! Attentive staff and fun atmosphere.“

“Great food for a fair price!“

“Best red curry I ever had.“

“I’ve been coming here for six years, and while the food hasn't changed, the crowds have definitely grown. I was surprised to see it packed on a Tuesday night with people waiting outside.

​The atmosphere and service are fairly standard. Because they were in a rush, the staff missed some food crumbs on the seats and didn't wipe the table thoroughly. We ordered quickly to beat the rush from the group behind us.

​As for the food, the bone-in fried chicken is always a winner—tender, moist, and crispy. The Pad Thai is actually one of the closest versions I've had to 'real' Thai food (told by thai friend). I personally didn't care for the spring rolls or the beef in the green curry (I prefer chicken), but that’s just a preference.

Everything we ordered feed 3 adults and 1 child.

​Prices are standard for Hawaii Thai spots. For spice, 'Medium' is my limit—it’s definitely an 'American Medium,' not 'Thai Medium.' I'll be back, though the parking setup and the location are a bit of a hassle.“

“Great out of the way place with authentic Thai cuisine.“

“The woman who owns and runs the place is a one woman operation. Very sincere excellent cook.The food is very reasonably priced and very, very good. I've been to Thailand once before and I felt like I was right back there with the food.“

“Absolutely amazing little place! We were looking for something to eat after 9pm after everywhere else was closed and man am I happy I found this. Best service, amazing food! The cook came to greet us and made sure everything was to our taste. I hate spicy and the cook made all my food without being extremely spicy. You have to try the Pad Thai and their specialty rice. You will not regret coming here! Enjoy a new fav Thai. Don’t let it being a pub stop you from going! Very friendly and fun!“

“#Grateful Love you guys awesome food“

“The food is ABSOLUTELY delicious! The service is efficient and courteous. It is, however, a food truck and once you get your food, you can take it to go, or eat outside using the adjacent seating braving the elements (including some rather brave birds, and very pesky flies).“

“Delicious food. The downside is the limited hours but I find time to visit this tasty eatery“

“Simply the Best Thai in Ewa.“

“Today I stopped by this restaurant for a quick lunch. Ordered two dishes papaya salad Laos flavors and beef pad Thai noodles. Papaya salad was crunchy with a hint of salty, sweet and sour and made in perfection. I only ordered with 1 pepper since it is my first time here I rather stay safe or gently lightly when it comes to spicy level. And the pad tha noodles has egg, tofu with beef and a touch of tamarind in it. Both dishes are fantastic. I will return to this place again in the future. :-)“

“I love Thai food and always looking for a good Thai food place. I have always driven past the truck, now I'm glad I stopped and ordered the Pad Thai. It was the best one I've ever had. Looking forward to try other food on the menu and wish they are open on more days than just Thursday and Friday.“

“If you are looking for a great affordable Thai restaurant this is the place to eat. I drive from the east side of the island to dine here. BYOB! The fried chicken appetizer, chicken satay, larb, spring rolls, papaya salad, drunken noodles, stir fry dishes and curries are stand outs. Everything is fresh and delicious. Save room for the mango sticky rice. Many customers order vietnamese pho here. I haven't tried it.“

“"Apple", the best bartender on the island, live local style music by Me, and great authentic Thai cuisine...“

“Good service , food was excellent would come back !“

“Large portions, good desserts and friendly staff“

“Nui is a friendly and she can cook. Great food, good service, and dog friendly. Nui will tell you all about her (3) 100 lb. labrador fur babies.
This place has some good pad Kee mau, panang curry, and spring rolls. We will be going back again and bringing our fur babies with us.
Come check our Nui's for some good Thai food.“

“My husband and I really enjoyed their authentic Thai food! It's a small, cozy restaurant, but the food is delicious and very reasonably priced. The owner and staff are very welcoming and make you feel at home. We'll definitely be back. 😀“

“Stumbled on this place right off base around lunch time. This “shack” is no fast food joint. Everything is made to order, so it takes about 10 mins to get your food after ordering. But the wait is well worth it!

We ordered the pangang curry and Thai boat noodles. Both were flavorful and fresh! For $12-$13 per meal, this was a large helping. I will say, the Thai boat noodles did have some chunks of lemongrass, cloves, and other sneaky flavor bombs that can get intense if you aren’t careful to pick them out.

I will come back again for sure!“

“I have lived in Northern Thailand for over 15 years and my husband is Thai, so I feel its safe to say I have tasted some amazing Thai food over the years. Thai Village ranks right up there with the best of the best. The Larb Pork tastes just as my favorite street vendor made for me in Mae Hong Son province. Staff are friendly and the food is AMAZING. I definitely recommend it.“

“The food is so flavorful...the best tasting so far..The service is outstanding. Very warm and inviting. They treat all the customers as if they are family. I would highly recommend eating here.“

“Ginger chicken was delicious 😋“

“Friendly and helpful server, food was awesome!“

“The waiter was very nice, and the food was delicious. The place is small, and it seems that most of the flux is for to go, so it makes sense. My wife and I got a pad thai, it was good it has vegetarian options, so overall a good place to stop by.“

“Chicken laarb tasted okay. The ginger soup tasted really good. The shredded cabbage tasted really appetizing with its soup. I had this ginger soup a few times here, and I liked it every time. It's like a comfort food to me now. I'm just a bit disappointed this time because the meat was really tough. I had to really chew it. I almost choked one time when I just wanted to swallow it already.“

“Last night, we went to Noi Thai Cuisine in Royal Hawaiian Center Building C, Level 3 – C308 2301 Kalakaua Ave. ​Honolulu, HI 96815 and it was amazing. The food really showed off what Thai cuisine is all about - it was full of flavor. We tried the BANGKOK RED CURRY and PAD THAI, both were delicious. Our server, Apple, was fantastic. She recommended these dishes and was super attentive to us. The whole experience was great. Apple made us feel welcome and shared interesting facts about the food. The restaurant felt cozy, like being invited to someone's home in Thailand. If you're into exploring Thai flavors and enjoying a warm, friendly service, you should definitely check out Noi Thai cuisine. It's not just about eating; it's like a quick trip to Thailand. Thanks to Apple, we had a memorable night.“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Heart of Thai Cuisine! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and inviting aromas. The dishes are authentic and bursting with flavor — the Pad Thai was perfectly balanced, and the Green Curry had just the right amount of spice and creaminess. The presentation was beautiful as it was heart shaped plates , and the freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite. The young boy server was attentive and friendly, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Heart of Thai Cuisine to anyone craving genuine Thai flavors — definitely a five-star gem!“

“This place exceeded my expectations! I'm not a big fan of Thai food, but after trying this place, I can say that it's the only Thai restaurant I will ever eat at again. I had a little bit of everything, as my family wanted to eat family-style by sharing dishes. It was hard to pick a favorite because every dish was amazing, but since I personally ordered the pad thai noodles, I will say it was the best pad thai I've ever had. I am not kidding when I say that my toes curled when eating here because it was so good. Mina, the owner, is the sweetest! She will make you feel like family and ensure that you are 100% satisfied with your order. Highly recommend if you want an authentic dish with a homey feeling. You won't regret it!“

“Last night's Waikiki Block Party was packed and I ordered from this restaurant: lemongrass fried chicken and pad Thai (combo B) and the food was amazing! The lemongrass fried chicken was cooked to perfection; crispy, light batter, and juicy. The pad Thai was not dry an clumpy like other food stalls, but it was a little cold from being out. Otherwise, a very good takeout meal. I can only imagine what the restaurant experience is like.“

“To Thai For has been a mainstay of Waialae Ave since before the pandemic. They are family run and the food is excellent. Highly recommended for families and groups: great selection of well made and delicious food, friendly service, and tasty as can be. Our favorites are the pad kee mao and the panang curry. We definitely enjoy supporting this local spot.“

“Been going here for almost 10 years! I used to live around the corner and went almost everyday. Tommy and his wife are the most kind people ever and they will always be my first stop coming home. I moved off island a few years ago but come home every year and they always remember me and still have the best food! I always get the garlic chicken and spring rolls?????? highly recommend“

“I just had the pleasure of trying Tom Kha Gai for the first time, and it was an absolute explosion of flavors that I savored with every spoonful. The rich, creamy coconut base perfectly balanced with the tangy zest of lime, the bright citrus notes of lemongrass, the warmth of galangal, and a subtle kick of chili made this Thai soup an instant favorite. I ordered from Bangkok Chef Nimitz in Honolulu, and they did not disappoint. The soup was fresh, aromatic, and delicious—definitely a dish I'll be craving again soon!“

“We had pad thai w/shrimp, fried calamari, panang curry and their fried chicken. Everything was ono and the service great. Thank you for a pleasant experience. We'll be sure to come back again. I do forsee a lot of take-out in the future.“

“This is the only place in Oahu. I go for Thai food. I’ve been living often on in Thailand for the last seven years and this food is pretty close. Currys are very ono, the staff are very nice and take very good care. The Thai iced tea is worth the caffeine rush.“

“The staff was very nice when I entered the field of the place is very exquisite. I can feel like I am in Thailand. I totally love the designs as soon as you walk in. I feel like I’m in a whole Nother world. I can totally see the vision of this place transforming into a Luxury Thai restaurant. They have amazing deals and right now they have four pieces of fried chicken for $8.99 and I must say they make it fresh and it is very crispy. I felt relaxed when I was waiting for my food. I had a calm peaceful setting, and he had like little water fountains all around the place. This is definitely a hidden gem on the west side you should totally check it out. They have an amazing Thai food.“

“We were working in the area and we got a recommendation to try this food truck close by. We walked over and looked the menu and it sounded very good.

We ordered two different plates and they were both made on the spot and were hot and fresh. Both plates were delicious and we would have no issues going back for lunch again.“

“So this Thai village is located inside of Mililani town Center. There is lots of parking all around. We went on a Saturday and let me tell you. It was nice and quiet if you’re looking for a place that’s more relaxed and a safer place for children they also have an Allied universal security guard posted up right in the golf cart right in the middle so it makes you feel really safe. You know just the securities’s present is present makes a whole difference and I see that the kids feel a lot safer but other than that we went inside the Thai village restaurant. It’s fairly small, but there are tables where you can fit up to about 4 to 6 people we ended up getting the red curry with sticky rice and the long rice soup. Oh my gosh, it was so delicious but the total was about $70 because we ordered it to go. Also if you do order red curry you have to order the rice separate. I think it’s because it is a two goal but red curry cost around $20. It comes with potatoes, carrots, and oh my gosh it was amazing. I totally would go there again and even though the chicken long rice soup was amazing as well. I wish I took a picture of it, but I scarfed it down sorry guys other than that definitely a must try.!!! and it got busy very quickly. It was probably around 5 PM.“

“I didn't try any of the food however, I ordered a Tai Iced Tea only to find a fly in my drink. When I informed the proprietor of the establishment of my discovery, he was super apologetic and replaced my drink with no questions asked. He even offered more than what I had purchased and was genuinely embarrassed by the fluke that nature had provided. I informed him that we were good accepted another drink sans fly. I would definitely recommend trying the food here and leaving a generous tip! The Elephant Shack in Honolulu is the real deal and you won't be dissapointed.“

“In our one week stay in Oahu, my husband and I ate here for dinner twice! It was seriously so delicious. We ate only vegetarian options which were full of flavor, spice levels varied and were perfect. Service was really efficient and the staff was excellent. Its a small place but that didnt draw away from the experience at all. There is a lot of Thai culture throughout the restaurant, including decor and music. If we were close to this restaurant everyday I wouldnt have minded eating only here!“

“I come here every time I visit Oahu. Food is absolutely authentic and if some of the other ppl in the reviews would have ever been to Thailand they knew. Would always recommend without a doubt - prices are ok, taste is great, size very good (for an European). Will be back ❤️“

“Excellent currey. All their curries are great, lots of ingredients, just the right spices. Recently increase price, but they give you a lot of good. I ordered take out only. Did not tried their other dishes.

Parking: They only have a few shared parking in front of the restaurant.“

“Just an overall great location. Easy to get in and out of waikiki being close to the ala wai. Starbucks right across the street. Great mexican food next store. Ross's across. If just budgeting or need a quick junk food.Mcdonald's is right across the street as well. 7th floor,pool, large covered dining area, putting green, big BBQ area and and activities room, billiards, darts , ping pong ect. Parking structure easy to access well lit and stall sized for full size vehicles.“

“The Vietnamese pancakes and iced coffee is a must try...“

“They are the BEST!!! My favorite is the garlic chicken! Everytime I come home for a visit I HAVE to come and eat here ❤️❤️❤️“

“A hole in the wall place. People mostly take out. Just a few tables for dining in. NO table service. Counter service only. Some of the dishes are very good like the oxtail or pho. But the pork ribs are very underwhelming(fried bacon slabs). Can’t beat the prices though.“

“Delicious my go-to spot in HNL“
