50 Best Thai Restaurants near Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam

“We tried Basil Thai Restaurant today and honestly everything was SO so good.

Our host told us to try the mango curry and that was hands down the bestttt thing on the menu. Like, I’m still thinking about it lol. So flavorful, a little sweet, just perfect. And fresh mangos. We got it with shrimp.

We also got the Panang, yellow curry, basil fried rice with shrimp, royal noodles with shrimp (and another without broccoli), and drunken noodles and every single dish was a hit. Not one thing we didn’t like.
You know it’s good when your kids are just quiet at the table because they’re too busy eating lol.

Definitely one of those places you’d come back to again and again, if we lived locally.

Our host was incredibly kind and helpful with his advice, suggestions and service. His friendly and helpful service made the experience even better.“

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

“Amazing Food! Hands down- the best Thai food around!“

“#Grateful Love you guys awesome food“

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

“Simply the Best Thai in Ewa.“

“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.“

“Small, hole in the wall restaurant.
Owner is nice and she fixes good food.
Not really much of an ambiance.
Small dining area, with limited tables. However, there was room on the day that I went.
Good choice for Thai food.
Close to both Waikiki and Ala Moana area.“

“Ive been coming here for 5 years. THE BEST pad thai and pad woon son on islaND
PERIOD. B3ST. ITS a while in the wall sketchy bar, you know the food is ROLLIN. Get to 711 and get some chao siam spicy cracklins and throw in Pad Woon Son and you will know what food in heaven tastes like.“

“If you are in Kapolei and you're looking for an excellent Thai Food then check out Supa Thai. Fresh and authentic flavors. You will love thevCrispy Fried Pork Chops and Fried Chicken. The Sweet Chili Sauce taste delicious.

Other items I highly recommend especially are Stir Fried Chow Fun with Shrimp, Crab Fried Rice,Khao So, and the Pineapple Curry with Duck. Make sure to save room for the Roti with Vanilla Ice Cream . It’s that good.

And the best part? It’s BYOB. Supa Thai is definitely a hidden gem, service is great and prices will not break your budget. I definitely recommend.“

“Excellent flavor and freshness“

“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).“

“Best red curry I ever had.“

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

“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“

“Large portions, good desserts and friendly staff“

“Friendly and helpful server, food was awesome!“

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

“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. 😀“

“I would recommend getting that burger, it is the best burger I had in years, this burger you can tell it's homemade. I also had the Panang Curry, and the watermelon juicet hat was also ONO!!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ginger chicken was delicious 😋“

“It's a food truck with many others and even has a drive through. The food at the elephant shack is amazing. Great seating area in the outdoor atmosphere with a few games to play while you're waiting. I had the Pad Thai and then grab another to go. Yumminess !!“

“Their Panang curry was amazing! Small business thar deserves big kudos to their authentic taste. The staff are all very friendly, they worked their tails off to the last minute in lunar new years. Everything is ordered fresh, so make sure you get there before dishes run out. They sell out so quick. Going for the chicken satay next time.“

“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.“

“Decent thai food and good prices. Ordered take out the other day to get my Thai curry fix.

The place was super empty at close to 5:00pm. Surprisingly they only had a few take out orders while I was waiting for my food.

I got the Thai medium spicy green curry with sticky rice. Amount of food was pretty good, but the green curry wasnt to the level of medium spicy that I thought it would be. Seemed mild in comparison. The curry had a decent amount of eggplant but lots of bamboo shoots.

I remember when this place got so popular they opened multiple locations, but I think the popularity died down. They are not as popular as they used to be.“

“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“

“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.“

“Mix Seafood Panang Curry, Fried Calamari, and Sticky Rice are awesome.“

“That was the best damn Thai food I’ve had ever!! These folks greet you with a smile and fast friendly service. I had Summer rolls and Pad Thai, it’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed eating out so much that I finished my whole lunch! Even my husband was very impressed that I finished all of it. 🤙🏼🙏 Mahalo folks!! 10/10 stars from me“

“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 will say that living in hawaii.This restaurant is very small but they have the best Thai food on island. My girlfriend is Thai and she is an amazing cook but I will say this they have great food there. It is kind of pricey, but it isn't hawaii. Honestly, I have probably eaten there thirty forty times in the last few years.I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the mood for some good thai food.“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“You have to realize. There are many options on rooms. The Resort, Individuals, and Companies all lease rooms. They are all different. Some provide better than others. It is also a 1976 building. It takes a lot to maintain such a place. The management, security, and staff. They are all 5 Star!“

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

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

“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“

“This great Thai take out place offers all the classics at very reasonable prices in a convenient location. It is located in the food court area just outside of Don Quijote. Their food is all made to order and served up hot and fresh, as well as the operators are very friendly and take your order courteously. I ordered the Tom Kai Gai soup which is similar to the Tom Yum, but with coconut milk and tasty perfectly sizes of sliced chicken breast. I did order it spicy because I like the Thai chili kick, but you can get it mild as well and it will still be flavorful from ginger and kaffir lime leaves. The broth is light, yet very satisfying. I recommend getting a side of jasmine rice to go with it if you aren't getting anything else. One down fall to this location is the common seating area in the food court. Aside from being very busy with customer entering and exiting Don Quijote, there is an over abundance of homeless and crazies hanging out. It doesn't make for a comfortable dining experience if you aren't a bit thick skinned. On a plus note, if open, they do have an inside counter area that can seat about 2. I would definitely go back again as well as recommend this place to others.“

“Very good food. I had the Thai yellow curry vegetarian, chow fun pad Thai tofu and a side of sticky rice. I am a meat eater but no worries it has plenty of flavor. The curry was the star of the show for me. Enough sweetness to be good but not over powering. The chow fun pad Thai was something different. For the me the chow fun definitely seemed to spread the flavor out better per bite. The pad Thai came out first and it was hard to stop eating that to try the curry. But the curry edged out the pad Thai for me in flavor. Both. Both are good!

For the parking the two separate signs are a little confusing. The lady in the restaurant says no need to pay the parking if you’re eating there. So it isn’t a sign up with a code for the first hour free kind of thing. I didn’t see any parking QR codes inside the restaurant. So do the usual scam check of scratching the edge of the QR code on the sign to make sure no one stuck a fake QR code on top of the real one.“

“Kim, Kevin, and the tasty food keep us returning. The only suggestion we would offer is that the food for the plate lunches be kept consistently on a food warmer that's turned on, rather than giving it an appearance that the food is heated.“

“Muy divertido y muy amables las personas que lo atienden“
