“Nifty location with unique buns and solid lunch plate offerings. The pork and duck manapuas are unique. Saw it on The Hawaiian Traveler and stopped by. Clearly popular with locals, but probably not worth driving well out of your way, but if you're in the area, it's better than the fast food across the street.“

“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.“

“We went to this location on Tuesday 7/29/2025 when they had the Tsunami scare. We live on the Waianae coast & had just spent 2 1/2 hours in traffic just to get to our toddler at daycare. We didnt make it in time to go home before the first wave was predicted to hit, it was too late to try to get to our pups in Waianae, so we decided we needed to stop somewhere to eat, far outside the tsunami zone.

We don't have much family here, so we really didnt have anywhere else to go. As we ate, we sat there distracted, speaking of everything we would lose. Worried, anxious, sad, etc.,

Our waitress was very kind & friendly. My daughter kept asking about the token machine & when we were done eating, she brought her a token. She didnt have to but she did and that was super sweet of her. I wish I remembered her name. It was a small act of kindness, but it meant a lot & we really appreciated it.

We had the spaghetti and meat sauce with garlic bread & it was delicious. My husband ordered the Korean Fried chicken and it was delicious as well. The desserts were delicious as well. This was our first time at this location and we definitely appreciate & enjoyed it.

Definitely recommend going here. Great service.“

“Loads of choices ranging from sushi, bentos, donburis, and noodles to satisfy any Japanese food craving while on a time crunch. It was relatively slow when we walked in, around 5 in the evening on a Friday, and the food came out really fast. Prices were decent as well.

The dynamite chicken donburi bowl was definitely the best thing we ordered. The chicken well seasoned and delicious with a tasty spicy mayo accompanying it on a well portioned bow of rice.
The poke bowl was lacking a little, as it missed a lot of other ingredients such as ogo and even sesame seeds, that make authentic Hawaiian poke, but it was still good quality tuna and had a bit of spice to it.
The spam sushi was good, as my son devoured it and the sushi rice used was made well with a tasty consistency.

The cashier at the counter was polite and didn’t forget to ask us about utensils and if we required wasabi or ginger for our order as well. Want to try other options next time!“

“My wife is Filipino so I chose here. The pizza was alright, sauce wasn't anything great through, my wife tried a favorite of hers but it didn't compare to her families cooking. The price was great though and portions fantastic. A mini pizza was enough for me but I think I would have been disappointed if I'd gotten a whole one for myself.“

“This location typically opens at 10 am. FYI - If you come before 11 am the boba will NOT be ready yet. Save yourself some disappointment if you want boba and come after 11 ish, maybe even 11:30 just to be safe. When they do have boba it is a good texture. The taste of drinks here are comparable to other places, sometimes even better.“

“I chose take out, so I can only speak about the food itself, not the service. I ordered the vermicelli with spring roll. It was okay! I thought the nuoc Cham (sauce) was somewhat bland, and I added my own fish sauce at home. The vegetables were fresh and the noodles were a tad over cooked. The spring roll filling was tasty, but the wrapper was a little stale. It felt like it had been sitting out for a little. Nonetheless, the food was good! I would be willing to try the food at the restaurant or a different menu. :)“
