“#Grateful Love you guys awesome food“

“Excellent flavor and freshness“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Love this place! Its clean, spacious and welcoming. The owners are so sweet and always have smiles on their faces. The food is ono (delicious) and the service is great. The prices are worth it and I love going there day or night time. They also have good Thai tea! I travel from Waimanalo to go there.“

“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.“

“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 !!“

“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. 😀“

“Adorable little restaurant here in Kaneohe with friendly service, and expert care for the food quality. I am fairly picky about my Thai and I t’s been years since I’ve found a new Thai restaurant with this much attention to the quality of their curry. :) go, you won’t regret trying!“

“Incredible Thai food and SO QUICK. Offered to make anything vegetarian for me - so accommodating and the kindest service. Pictures feature demolished food after going to town on very large servings. Good prices and excellent food for vegetarians!“

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

“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 ❤️❤️❤️“

“I think they changed location but not updated.

The beef noodle was very tasty even though it looks plain. The pad thai was very good too especially when fresh. Rangoon was good but kinda overpriced for me. Was only 4 pieces for $10.“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful stay at Royal Kuhio. Our room was recently renovated and was nicely done. The bed was very comfortable. Also they Leo used prompt service with fresh towels when needed. Would def stay near again. Gorgeous view from the room and only a short walk to the beach b“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I don’t understand bad reviews here . 2 Thai ladies running the place , food is exceptionally tasty- it’s takes your I the streets of Bangkok, service is very kind and welcoming , like you are visiting a Thai grandma you don’t have . Love ❤️“

“Delicious my go-to spot in HNL“

“I love the new set up they have the pole bowls are to die for get the Laos, it’s not always available. They also do live music on certain nights and pay per view fights and games. I live the atmosphere and they have all types of different foods. You definitely gotta try it. and they validate your parking too.“

“Highly recommend joining during Happy Hour! Delicious cocktails and incredible appetizers!“
