Just ordered Pla rad prik fried fish with tamarind sauce & Panang curry taste delicious !

If you love Thai food this is a place you wanna try. Their food is the best! The beef salad is a must try. Anything on their menu is good. The Steven Lau special is delicious!

Delicious food! The summer rolls were very fresh, tofu prepared well. Yummy pad Thai and Thai basil stir fry.

I went here as part of a group. I had the drunken noodles. It was ok--the shock was that they actually charged me $2 to make it spicy! Apparently, it's hidden somewhere in the fine print of the menu that reach via QR code, but it's pretty ridiculous. The food was ok--I've had better and worse Thai food. The service was also ok--another party came in with a large group and they wouldn't move the tables to accommodate them. They also gave us an extra Thai iced tea that no one ordered, that we had to send back. Bottom line--it's ok Thai food, just read the fine print.

I love Thai food. This is not a good example of Thai cooking. The server was very friendly but we waited almost half an hour for our meal. The food was so bad. No flavor, textures were all wrong. I just couldn’t eat my entree. Also…the bathroom was probably the dirtiest restaurant bathroom I’ve ever seen. Looked like a late night dive bar bathroom. Stuff stored in there that should not be stored in a bathroom. Yikes.

FINALLY! Some appropriately spiced and seasoned Thai/Lao food. My bestfriend is Laotian and I've tried many thai/lao restaurants. This one is legit! Most Thai places tame down flavors/spices/seasoning to cater to the masses. If you want the authentic dishes, ask them for their recommendation. Mind you, this is a tourist town so they're catering to the general visitors here. This is the first place I've found with amazing khaopoon, Sai Oua and nem khao. We had time to speak to the owner/operators and learned that most of the Thai restaurants in Oahu really tame down the flavors; with a few dishes as an exception at this place (which were the dishes we ordered! Lucky us!). The pad see ew was perfectly seasoned and charred. We also mentioned we ate at another very popular thai place that shall not be named and it was not worth the hype nor the price tag! We're so glad we found this place instead. Super affordable, delicious and authentic Thai/Lao. We'll definitely be back soon!

After reading up on the reviews and I wanted some Pad Thai I decided to give this place a try. Wow.....this has got to be the worst most expensive pad Thai I ever had.....absolutely no flavor besides old burned oil, a lot of spice as requested. Generous portion I could not even finish half. Very disappointing meal. Also the meal was slightly burned and very dry. They didn't even have limes gave me a lemon. I think the noodles they used were like Ramen noodles also.

Not Thai and wrong food! We ordered two fried rice and both were very greasy and non-authentic. The basil fried rice had one basil leaf and some ground beef. The pine apple fried rice tasted similar and had some stored fried beef. Both tasted fried with old oil. We also ordered a stir-fried mixed vegetable, but apparently they forgot about it and instead of asking us again they put together a dish with some vegetable and chicken. Overall, the food tasted low quality Chinese food. We won't go there again!

Good food and good prices. Very authentic to Lao food which is hard to come by. Would highly recommend!

Clean. Staff very nice. Food great-pad thai and chicken satay
