24 Best Thai Restaurants near Pearl City

“No Ka' Oi Thai Food by Nattaya is absolutely legit! Food Truck is located up Kaahumanu St by the Waiau Fire Station / District Park. The ladies are super friendly and their food is "over the top!" We tried their Gai Tod (fried chicken), Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Khua Kai. Needless to say, everything was super onolicious! Everything is made-to-order so be prepared wait for your order - well worth it! Payment is cash but if you use a credit card, tax will be added to your order. Biggest problem is No Ka Oi being open for business only on Thursdays and Fridays from 11 am - 4 pm. Warning - if you come after 1:00, they are often "sold out" and will close early. So come early and enjoy!“

“One of the better Thai restaurants around Hawaii with not bad portions. Everything we had was really tasty and I didn’t swell up or have a headache after so it was a plus!??I will definitely return to try other items on the menu I heard is good.“

“Visiting Hawaii & finally decided to drop by this place, that I saw on instagram. I will say this place is amazing! The vibe is amazing! The designs! The worker name abs had such great customer service!Me and my mother adored her to death! We ordered the cucumber salad medium spice (it was bomb), the pad Thai which tasted so good & the kapoon, I tried so many kapoon and this one beat the rest. We also order dessert which is called Nam Wan, it's a tropica jello with coconut milk & shaved ice (which was obviously good also). I love the fact that they sat us where the koi pond was also!“

“Best red curry I’ve ever had (seafood). Both women at the front were very sweet and welcoming. We just got in from a 10 hr flight and my kids were VERY cranky, so the ladies brought a couple markers and stickers. Great Thai tea and summer rolls. My husband said the heat (regular hot) on the table pad Thai was great.Dietary restrictions: We don’t eat pork and very pleasantly surprised to find that they don’t add pork to their summer rolls. Shrimp only! So happy about this, and they were very good and fresh.“

“The best service and family. Small business with a big heart. Opel and Lio were very attentive to our family, while Aoy along with the rest of the staff prepared our meal. Great food, great atmosphere, wonderful people. Praying the family is doing well. Can't wait to visit again the next time in in Honolulu.“

“Really really flavorful pad Thai and red curry. I always get these two dishes whenever I come here. The service is fast - the food comes out steaming hot and super fresh. The workers are friendly as well. They never fail to disappoint and their rice is so Ono (I can't quite put my finger on what they do/how they may season their rice but it's super good nonetheless). Can't wait to come back here again!“

“Hadn't been here in 5+ years and wanted to see if it was still good. Was not disappointed, food was great as it always has been. Best little hole in the wall Thai food you can find!Oh, and if you ask for it 'Thai hot', they'll give you what you're looking for. Love it!“

“I cannot stop coming back here. The vibe is so chill and homey, and the food is quick, hot, and delicious. When you order hot, they give it hot. I'm never happier to sweat out the deliciousness than behind a plate of Drunken Noodles and Papaya Salad Thai-style at Pattaya Thai.“

“I decided to try this place after reading the reviews. Boy o boy is it good! I mean, how many places give you TWO sauce cups for your rolls? The crispy shrimp and spring rolls were amazing, you can tell that the frying oil is fresh, not stale. I also ordered the seafood drunken noodle. I love the fact that they give you a good amount of fish, shrimp and squid, not just a lot of one and a little of the rest. Maybe that's why they have such short store hours, they pack all the flavor in a little time.“

“Ordered the Summer roll for a light snack after the gym and a Thai coffee to help wake me up. The service had authentic Thai speaking workers beautiful quick and friendly. Took a bite w/ there special sauce in surprise it was like no other sauce ??. Flavors coursing through my tongue w/ a bit of spice for a kick had me smiling saying mmm yummy. Must try amazing and fresh Summer roll.? Coffee strong and flavorful just how I like it ☺️☕️“

“This may be the best Thai we've ever had. We got the Ono Appetizer Combo (fish patties, spring rolls, chicken satay), Tom Kha soup, and Pad Ki Maow (drunken noodles).The satay, even before the delicious peanut sauce, was the best I've ever had. Very well-seasoned, and a nice bit of crispiness at the edges without being overcooked.The sauces and additional vegetables (lettuce leaves, cucumber, Thai basil, shredded cabbage) in the appetizer combo added delightful mixtures of texture and flavor.The Tom Kha soup (we got it with tofu) was full of veggies. Green beans, mushrooms, carrots, zucchini. It was a hearty and typically tasty soup.The drunken noodles (we also got them with tofu) were great. They were a bit spicy (as we were warned beforehand) for a typical American palate, but very tasty. The veggies, tofu, eggs, and noodles were all cooked quickly at high heat, which meant there was lots of yummy textures and colors in the dish. Broccoli, green beans, Thai basil, and carrots were perfectly cooked - brightly colorful and yielding, but still snappy. The tofu and noodles were crispy at some of the edges and softer in the center, which led to each mouthful remaining interesting in flavor as well as texture.I found myself saying "mmm" a lot during this meal. I'm so glad we stopped by.Vegetarian options: Tofu is a consistently available option for protein in the meal choices. I can't speak to whether food is prepared with vegetarian or vegan considerations in mind.“

“The food is the star here: a group of us tried different things and different spice levels, and we enjoyed them all. A bit slow on the service, and a bit challenging to find parking, but worth trying if you're looking for authentic Thai.“

“The food is always good. Our favorites are the fried chicken, lao sausage, and cashew nut chicken. Sometimes, there's only one server, but they are very polite and efficient and not the kind that get grumpy because they're the only one on the floor.“

“This awesome restaurant catered another event for us and we are so pleased! Nearly every guest wanted to k ow where the food came from! A huge hit for sure! You won't have to worry if you order from here, the food and service are excellent!“

“Staff was friendly and attentive, filled our waters multiple times. Appetizer arrived after our main dishes. Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) was exceptional. Their Pad Ped, which literally translates to “stir fry spicy” didn’t have the slightest hint of spice. Not a single chili. Perhaps they ran out of Thai chilis and served us anyways? We might try them again to see if this experience was a one-off, but will probably explore other Thai restaurants first.“

“I found me newest favorite after my S&S relocated ?... but this place made me feel welcomed and service was way above perfect.. you may now see me as a regular very soon...Vegetarian options: You can make almost any dish a vegetarian option.. ?“

“Went here as a last minute dinner with a friend. The restaurant has a few tables to eat there as well as take out. I got the green curry which was on par with most Thai places. They didn't skimp on the chicken which I liked. We also got the fried tofu satay which was a first for me. It was ok, but this was coated with a batter(?) and not directly fried where the outside was crispy. My friend got the Gang Pa as something different. It had a lot of vegetables, but I didn't like the taste of the sauce. Never having tried that before, I can't tell if that's how it was supposed to taste. For me it was a good place, but I'll stick with the tried and true.“

“I absolutely love this place. The owners serve their guest and the food is authentic and tasty. We try and stop in for dinner at least once a month if not more. I will always go out of my way to stay loyal to a family owned restaurant even a franchise spot when the food and family are wonderful.My go to favorites are the #9, #6 and I really enjoy the cold poppya salad, Thai hot baby! The green curry with eggplant and beef is delicious everytime.. Ask the owner his favorite dish and you will be in for a tasty treat.“

“This was my first time eating Pad Thai and papaya salad, and I really enjoyed it! It's my kind of flavors. I will definitely be coming back as a regular. The service was also really great. He seemed so kind and genuine in serving his food. 10/10!!“

“*Parking: Street parkingThe restaurant isn't big, but it's clean, and most of all, the food is reasonably priced and everything is fine.If you can't eat spicy food, you can order it not spicy. They do not sell alcohol separately, so you can buy your own alcohol and bring it with you. It's a place where you can quietly eat Thai food in a comfortable atmosphere, so I'm satisfied every time I go :)“

“I came in tired and in need of some comfort food. I was greeted happily and sat with my friend in the corner taking in the open space and soothing ambience. The rare steak and meatball pho had me warm and satisfied until the next day and I shared the big bowl with my friend. We ordered extra protein and had to take the rolls home for later. I will be making this my usual spot when I'm on island. 10/10 would recommend“

“Landed on the island on a Monday and left this evening's bar crawl in the hands of my cousin - the locals tour. Ended up in Kalihi on some nondescript, industrial looking side street and found myself in what my cousin described as a Laotian themed bar. There's always a first for everything. Very local feel, clean, casual, non pretentious. The acoustic system here kicks major a** for karaoke, although I have no idea what is being sung. It's all fun though. At any rate, very friendly staff, the kitchen closes late and they make a mean fried chicken. Come check it out!“

“Soooo good! I got vegetable pad see ew and asked for it hot (7 out of 10 on their hotness scale). It was perfectly spiced. It packed a punch with a lingering burn, but not so hot it masked the other delicious flavors or made it so I couldn't breathe. I really appreciated that - it's hard to get people to believe you want it hot when you're a haoli girl.My partner got shrimp yellow curry, 5 out of 10 on the hot scale. It wasn't very spicy at all, but again SOO delicious. We will definitely be back!“

“My favorite food is Thai Chicken Fried rice and I've been meaning to try this place for a while. Finally went today for lunch before work and I love it! The portioning vs pricing ratio is great, flavor is fantastic, and there are so many added toppings. This is definitely top 3 on the island for me now, will be coming back! Customer service was great as well, the lady that greeted and served me was very friendly!“
