One of my frequent spots to get Thai food. I love the ambience of this place, you can choose indoor or outdoor seating. There's plenty of seating but not as many parking spots available. Most of the food I've tried has not been disappointing, the staff are warm and efficient. The food also comes really fast and you can choose your spice level from mild, medium to hot. I have ordered Thai green curry, spring rolls, pad ki mao (drunken noodles) and this place has won my Southeast Asian stamp of approval. The place is usually not crazy busy and situated in Kaimuki which is pretty close to where I work so the location is convenient for me.Parking: Limited free parking spaces availableWheelchair accessibility: Lots of stairs so might not be the most convenient for wheelchair. The parking spot is also not paved so might not be the most comfortable for wheelchairs but it's a short trip

It's our awesome neighborhood Thai place; what else can I say? Panang curry is my go-to and tofu summer rolls if we're extra hungry. Love that there's a tree growing up inside it, good vibes all around <3

Try the Pa Nang Curry. You won't be disappointed. Enough in one order for two people, with two orders of rice, and an order of flat noodles. $26. So yummy. ? There's a piano in the dining room too!Parking: Parking is in back. We had no problems

Unfortunately they forgot to put all the sticky rice for my order that was for the curries. Their only solution was to refund the rice money. I had guests over and one of them had to drive get it which defeats the whole purpose of ordering a delivery.Food was good so maybe better go eat in person then ordering.

This restaurant has the best Pad See Ew I've ever had. We were only in town for a few days and went to Red Elephant twice because it was that good. The only slight challenge we had was parking, but it worked out for both of our visits.

Waiters were very friendly but the food was very undercooked, specially the chicken, it was raw. Definitely not the best Thai restaurant I've been too. Much better out there.

I ordered Uber eats tonight from this place. I love Thai food and wanted to try this place. It's not to far from where I live but I was too lazy to pick it up. I ordered the summer rolls, which was okay but nothing spectacular. The peanut sauce was okay, a little too watery for my liking. I also ordered the drunken noodles with tofu with medium heat, extra sauce and extra veggies but it wasn't spicy at all and there were no extra vegetables. Also requested for utensils and didn't get any. May be I should've ordered something different but not sure if I will be trying this place again.

Best Thai food I've had in Hawaii. Sometimes service is pretty slow but the food makes up for it

Ordered the crab stir fry , menu says crab meat but all I got was whole crabs cut in half. Manager said I still had to pay for it even though it’s not described on the menu correctly. customer service was not good at all.

Conveniently located on Waialae with free parking behind, we thought we'd try it. Menu has a lot of selections, and the restaurant has a comfortable size to it. We were seated quickly. From there, the service was very slow, and basically, we needed to flag down our waitress to put in orders. They never asked us how things were. We ordered the pad thai, which was too sweet for our liking. The chicken wings, red curry, and chicken basil were ok. For dessert, we had the roti with vanilla ice cream, a little small for the price, but it was good. All in all, it's disappointing there are better thai options out there with better service.

So authentic! They utilized some couches for comfortable seating and some large family size tables. We missed our bus going home so we stopped here on our detour. So glad we did. It was a bit rainy and the tom yum soup really warmed us up! Servers were kind and quick.

This was my first visit to this surprisingly large restaurant, i was really surprised that the parking lot in the back of the building had many spaces.The food was delicious, service was fast and friendly, the restaurants interior was comfortably pleasant.
