5 Best Thai Restaurants near Pahoa

“Excellent service and very good food. We also got a really good view of the volcano from outside of the restaurant.“

“Have always loved this place. It's so rustic and charming and being in downtown Pahoa is always a unique experience. Even their milder options still tend to have a good dose of heat so if you don't like that be sure to request extra mild. They do not sell alcohol but BYOB is allowed and they will give you wine or beer glasses to use as needed.“

“The food is fantastic. Love the friendly helpful staff that always makes you feel so great. I make this a weekly stop and just wish it was open mare then just Fri. sat. And Sunday.“

“Went on Sun. 7/05/26, and it was delicious! I had Lava Shrimp and hubz got Red Curry Seafood! Service by lady owner upfront is amazingly fast, and we love her non-frill, yet friendly personality! Our favorite restaurant spot in Keaau too, because it's upscale beautiful inside, and a good reason to get dolled-up! The Thai Tea was a sweet, yet not heavy, perfect energy pickup for me! We'll always be back!“

“This is a gem of a restaurant, offering a fusion of Southeast Asian specialties. If you want to grab something fresh and delicious, but don't have time to wait, their lunch special is for you! From 9:30 am to 3:00 pm, you get your choice of rice or one of two types of noodles plus 1, 2 or 3 other items from the buffet. I got chow mein noodles plus the Tofu Eggplant. It came to $12.95, which is very reasonable for Hawaii and was quite filling. Definitely high quality ingredients. The eggplant was sweet and tender, the tofu was well prepared, and the noodles were fresh. The sauce was full of umami flavor with just a touch of heat. Perfect! You can sit inside a bright, inviting dining room or outside at a table in the shade and cool breeze. The young lady that waited on me was very sweet and helpful. Highly recommend!“
