First time at this Thai restaurant. Great crispy outside and not crew's g but tender inside of the calamari appetizer. We had their seafood pad ga praw. Forgot to take pictures. Serve was great. Will come back most definitely.

They charge too high for small portions. They also talk bad about customers in their language.

The best Thai restaurant I've ever tried in my life!! The pad Thai tastes like no pad Thai I've ever tried before from other Thai restaurants in Hawaii and their yellow curry is filled with many different spices and the mild version had just the right amount of kick. The tofu with the pad Thai was huge and super delicious, especially with the lime wedge. The seafood in the yellow curry included a couple of clams/oysters, which I've never seen before in curries but was very delicious! Their sticky rice is also quite good, all white rice unlike the purple grains other places sometimes offer. The staff is also extremely considerate, professional, and goes the extra mile. It's very clean and well-maintained inside with lots of tables. This is our new spot for Thai food!!

Restaurant took our reservation and confirmed it. We walked fifty minutes from Waikiki for the restaurant to be closed. Our booking was never cancelled and we were never contacted to be told it was closed.

Just ok. This review is for their take out only. Our orders were quickly taken by a very friendly and polite worker. Prices are average for casual Thai in this area, anywhere from $15 to $25 per dish depending on what you order. About 15 min wait. The restaurant itself seems newly updated, modern, and clean. Chicken pad Thai: the noodles were perfectly stir fried, no sticking, had the right amount of sweetness and saltiness, and the veggies and tofu were all delicious. Unfortunately the chicken itself was really stringy and tough, making this dish a bit of a letdown. Pad ka prao with pork: similarly, the pork was tough and too firm, but the veggies and rice were good. Overall won't return unless I'm really craving Thai and in the area, would maybe pick tofu as much protein and add my own chicken at home.

They took our reservation but weren't even open. Very disappointing as we were looking forward to it and trying to make a concert.

Closed on 3/4/24. Yelp said it was open. Should have known - no answer when we called

First time trying this place out, seems like a newer place because I remember driving by seeing it as Phuket Thai. It wasn't busy when we walked in, lots of open seating, we had a table of 6 people. We were seated and waited about 5 minutes until someone came to take our orders, didn't receive water until we were ready to order our food. We wanted to order drinks as we looked up their pictures on google and looked like they had cocktails but they didn't have a bartender there so my cousin opted for a glass of white wine. We did a family style dinner and felt like the food was decent but nothing spectacular. To share, we ordered the Pad Thai, Green curry with chicken, Panang Curry with chicken, Chicken Larb, Pad See Ew with Shrimp, Crab fried rice, and Duck Fried Rice. 1) Pad Thai - tasted ok, didn't give much of the Pad Thai usual taste. 2) Green Curry with Chicken - The curry was pretty watery, had flavor but maybe it's me that prefers a thicker consistency. 3) Panang Curry with Chicken was one of my favorites, very flavorful with a kick of spice, we requested for mild, but it wasn't really spicy so we were ok with it. I would get this again. 4) Chicken Larb was ok.. could use a little more lime and seasoning. The onion to meat ratio could use some work, i do love onions but feel like there was a bit too much in there. 5) Pad see ew was decent, had a sweeter flavor. 6) Crab fried rice was ok, reminded me of chinese style fried rice, could use more seasoning or spices. 7) The Duck fried rice was the best dish next to the Panang curry in my opinion. It was flavorful and so yummy, I would definitely recommend others to try this!

Came here for dinner with a friend. We arrived right at the opening for their dinner time hours and was seated right away. Wish that servers came to check in on us more frequently and not just when we were close to finishing. We got the pad see ew and the crab fried rice. Both were tasty; just wish they came with bigger portions given the price. Overall, a solid restaurant to catch up with friends in.

Ordered take out, arrived 30 minutes after as they told us. I had young kids with me, but Was ignored for 10-15 minutes as they struggled to handle 4 tables. No one bothered to say hi or how can I help. Kids were getting impatient so we went back to the car called the restaurant line was busy. No one has reached out after an 90 minutes of the order. This is likely the most unprofessional restaurant experience ever.
How long after arriving and being seated is an acceptable time frame to have someone tend to you? Do you love being ignored and Gaslit into being the problem? If so then this will be your favorite spot to be treated like trash. Not your thing? Don't worry, they don't even really need your business. They're too good for us anyway *eyeroll* Arrived about 755pm, left by 815pm. Took a bit to be seen and seated right near the door, wonder if thats why we weren't being served... No menus or water offered. A couple arrived not long after us and already had their orders taken. Mr G got up to let the employee know that we hadn't gotten menus but were ready to place orders. From there, near the bar he went to the restroom. Someone came to the table and asked if we got menus, I said I was trying to look online. I wanted to order the pumpkin curry with chicken but he said they ran out of chicken. I said that's alright and moved on to a pad see ew with tofu and supposedly took my order. When Mr G got back to the table I didn't know what he wanted so again after waiting a while he went over to call the same guy back. Words were exchanged and I hear the employee saying that he needed to learn how to behave! He went on saying that menus were offered, declined and no orders were taken. That's weird because I didn't decline any menus and I swore I placed an order, wasn't my first choice either. Gaslight 101?! The attitude was giving major red flags. For him to completely forget about us for at least 10 minutes after putting us at a table, take an order from the couple that came in after us, totally lie about the conversation had with me and have absolutely no remorse about it is utterly disgusting. I just walked out. At that point if we stayed I have no doubt our food would've been contaminated/compromised. For an employee to behave that way within a 15m period, there's definite signs of retaliation coming. Ever seen the movie "Waiting"? Daniel C mentioned in his review the slow service, lack of cleanliness and the gaslighting with no apology. Couple of other reviews also mention the crappy service as well. I thought with so many good reviews should be worth a try... thought wrong. Never coming back. So many local eateries shutting down, you'd think the ones left would try harder. Very unfortunate. This place has been open barely a year and I would be surprised to see them make it past the 2nd!

Nice restaurant located in Kaka'ako that serves delicious Thai dishes. Our favorite was the soft shell crab salad. The crab was nicely fried and served with a Thai sweet dressing. We met the owner who was making his rounds and he was very proud of the authenticity of his food. Will be back again for more.

Not sure what the attraction is to this place. I am bummed to leave this review but the food here is not very good. We ordered the Thai chicken soup - loads of thin tough flavorless chicken and noodles in a bland boring broth with nothing else. Something you would give a 3 year old. Such a disappointment I super wanted my money back for that one. I didn't eat it and it was $18 if I have that correct.The curry was incredibly rich and just not that good as it lacked flavor and the eggplant was pretty good but not quite there. I think if my hubby had ordered it with tofu instead of that terrible thin tough flavorless chicken, it would have been better. The gyoza wasnt good. Overall just not great and I wouldn't waste my money. The staff was very friendly and kind. We ordered take out so I don't know how it is if you dine in.Please note that my experience could have been an off day!! That can happen…

My fiancé and I use to eat here very often. So often that we found ourselves eating here 1-2x a week but since they changed the menu, the dishes and the quality of the food has declined greatly. We did hear that they ended contract with the chef they had before they changed their menu. It is such a disappointment because we LOVED the food here and would have been our #1 go to spot for Thai food. Our favorite dishes were the pad see ew, curry, angel chicken, and crab fried rice
