45 Best Thai Restaurants near Pearl City

“I love Thai food and always looking for a good Thai food place. I have always driven past the truck, now I'm glad I stopped and ordered the Pad Thai. It was the best one I've ever had. Looking forward to try other food on the menu and wish they are open on more days than just Thursday and Friday.“

“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.“

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

“We went there considering the reviews and weren't disappointed, we arrived at 1:30 PM, nobody inside so we didn't have to wait any minute, the lady was super nice with us, let us have the mild pad Thai and then let us put some chili if to our convenience.
The pad Thai is super good, we really appreciated the seasoning.
I got the chicken pad Thai while my partner got the tofu pas Thai, both very good.
Great place overall that we can recommend you !“

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

“Great food for a fair price!“

“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.“

“The Best Thai spot on the side of the island. Very friendly staff, working out of a small, nice and clean restaurant, serving excellent food with quick turn around time.

Great portions for the price too! If you want some good Thai come check this place out“

“Absolutely amazing little place! We were looking for something to eat after 9pm after everywhere else was closed and man am I happy I found this. Best service, amazing food! The cook came to greet us and made sure everything was to our taste. I hate spicy and the cook made all my food without being extremely spicy. You have to try the Pad Thai and their specialty rice. You will not regret coming here! Enjoy a new fav Thai. Don’t let it being a pub stop you from going! Very friendly and fun!“

“Simply the Best Thai in Ewa.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Quaint little mom and pop shop. Went here last night and the ladies working were very sweet.

Was in the area today so I came back for lunch. The place was packed, and understandably so! The food is delicious. I asked for spicy each time -they were nervous to give the white boy the spice each time and warned me against it. Just top tier fresh food and service. If I lived closer I’d be here 2x a week for sure! Also really good prices.“

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

“Nui is a friendly and she can cook. Great food, good service, and dog friendly. Nui will tell you all about her (3) 100 lb. labrador fur babies.
This place has some good pad Kee mau, panang curry, and spring rolls. We will be going back again and bringing our fur babies with us.
Come check our Nui's for some good Thai food.“

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

“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. 😀“

“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!“

“I have lived in Northern Thailand for over 15 years and my husband is Thai, so I feel its safe to say I have tasted some amazing Thai food over the years. Thai Village ranks right up there with the best of the best. The Larb Pork tastes just as my favorite street vendor made for me in Mae Hong Son province. Staff are friendly and the food is AMAZING. I definitely recommend it.“

“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!“

“Friendly and helpful server, food was awesome!“

“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“

“In our one week stay in Oahu, my husband and I ate here for dinner twice! It was seriously so delicious. We ate only vegetarian options which were full of flavor, spice levels varied and were perfect. Service was really efficient and the staff was excellent. Its a small place but that didnt draw away from the experience at all. There is a lot of Thai culture throughout the restaurant, including decor and music. If we were close to this restaurant everyday I wouldnt have minded eating only here!“

“I just had the pleasure of trying Tom Kha Gai for the first time, and it was an absolute explosion of flavors that I savored with every spoonful. The rich, creamy coconut base perfectly balanced with the tangy zest of lime, the bright citrus notes of lemongrass, the warmth of galangal, and a subtle kick of chili made this Thai soup an instant favorite. I ordered from Bangkok Chef Nimitz in Honolulu, and they did not disappoint. The soup was fresh, aromatic, and delicious—definitely a dish I'll be craving again soon!“

“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 food and atmosphere is wonderful. We were able to try many dishes from beef soup to curry to chicken basil. There was even roast pork. I can't for the next time. Clean, comfortable and friendly. Parking wasn't bad. All 3 of us found parking in the lot. Highly recommended.
PS... we were able to bring our own drinks. I do not believe we had to pay a corking fee. Yay! There's also a mart next store if you want to pick up something.“

“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.“

“We were working in the area and we got a recommendation to try this food truck close by. We walked over and looked the menu and it sounded very good.

We ordered two different plates and they were both made on the spot and were hot and fresh. Both plates were delicious and we would have no issues going back for lunch again.“

“This Is My Favorite Thai Restaurant On The Island, Always Consistently Delicious And Full Of Flavors. Everything On The Menu Is Exceptional. Thai Fried Basil Rice With Beef Is My Favorite. Plus The Green Curry With Pork Is Excellent. Whatever You Order It Will Be Delicious..“

“I didn't try any of the food however, I ordered a Tai Iced Tea only to find a fly in my drink. When I informed the proprietor of the establishment of my discovery, he was super apologetic and replaced my drink with no questions asked. He even offered more than what I had purchased and was genuinely embarrassed by the fluke that nature had provided. I informed him that we were good accepted another drink sans fly. I would definitely recommend trying the food here and leaving a generous tip! The Elephant Shack in Honolulu is the real deal and you won't be dissapointed.“

“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 ❤️“

“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 dont care what other people say. For me This is the best thai food truck in the island. I been a customer for 3 yrs now and i would never get tired eating their beef salad and chicken satay ? Its located now accross Boston’s North end pizza bakery in aiea.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This papaya salad is seriously amazing!
Authentic Lao-style flavor — bold, spicy, and full of that rich fermented fish sauce aroma.
The papaya strips are crunchy and fresh, and the seasoning hits all the right notes: spicy, salty, tangy, and perfectly balanced.

Served with warm, sticky rice that’s soft and fragrant — the perfect match for a spicy dish like this.
If you love real, fiery papaya salad with strong flavors, this one is a must-try!“

“We found Aloha Mamacita while watching a Niners game at the Row, where they allow outside food.

We ordered onion rings, fries, and their Thai fried chicken. The fries and chicken were my favorites. For 3 people, all of it came out to around $30, too.

Staff were super friendly, and the seating inside is nice. Parking is easy with the garage and validation. All in all, would definitely come back to try more items (like their horchata towers!)“
