    Honestly the best Thai food in Oahu!!! It was authentic Thai and absolutely delicious. Everything was plated so beautifully. Presentation was great. Make sure you get the Crab Wontons they were superb! Wouldn’t hesitate to come back again, I will definitely be recommending this restaurant to all friends and family who visit Waikiki The spring rolls were very fresh and crispy as they should be! Service was top notch too!

    The restaurant is located on the third floor, so it still takes some time to find it because it's my first visit. The number of people in the restaurant is moderate, but the waiters are warm and polite, and the service is in place. This is a mid-range restaurant, with distinctive environment layout and dishes, excellent design of dishes, beautiful appearance and appetite. The price is mid-range, and the dishes taste very good. You can choose whether it's spicy or not, which suits the taste of the public. This is a good experience! Would recommend it to friends!

    I was a bit disappointed. The staff were all friendly but they really seemed to do everything so quickly to rush you out as fast as possible. I came here because of reviews and honestly it’s just all really flashy/theatrical but the food itself I’ve had much better Thai food at many places. We ordered the appetizer sampler, lobster Tom Yum, tamarind duck, and two kids noodles dishes, pad Thai and pad seew. Literally everything came out at once. That made it hard to enjoy because we are working on appetizers while other food is sitting. So I had to eat everything at once to enjoy it all. The duck I had to send back because it was so dry it was like cardboard and looked like cardboard. The server agreed and had no problem sending back for me, then we chose the green curry beef to substitute and that was much better but tip here is to let the beef cook just a little and take out right away or else it over cooks. Overall food was salty and overcooked. Appetizer sampler was good, kids noodle dishes were actually good.

    The food was excellent and the service was great. Our server, Apple, was a delight and great help with the menu. We had the appetizer sampler which was all great but our favorite were the Crispy Taro Rolls. They were awesome. My main dish was the panang curry with chicken and it was very good as well. Thanks to Apple I settled on a 3 out of 5 on the hotness scale with extra spice on the side, which was perfect. Definitely will be back here when I get back to Honolulu!

    What a fantastic restaurant! Thank you for being ok with my wet swimsuit family 🤦‍♀️😂 Didn't realize this was a NICE restaurant till we were seated.. The staff was kind though & acted like it was totally normal! Rather fancy place over all. The food: spectacular!! The crab curry was my favorite. SO good!! We also had the appetizer sampler, the mushroom soup, the red curry... nothing disappointed! It was all so fantastic! Flavorful, delicious, and filling. A little pricey but honestly, worth it for the quality of food we received.

    The presentation of the dishes was just lovely here. We come from a city in Canada that has unbelievably good Thai restaurants so the bar is set high by us when we judge others! Again, the presentation was absolutely beautiful for these dishes, but the taste wasn't quite as good as we had hoped. What we would say was missing....was spice. Nobody asked us what our tolerance level was for spice and it didn't indicate anything on the menu about this either. But they really lacked spice which Thai food is often so famous for.

    Whether you’re craving for Thai food…or not, you have to come here. We tried this place a few days ago, and it was delicious. We had no idea what to do for dinner tonight, so we decided to come back again. Food and service were great on both occasions. Pictured here are the eggplant, pineapple fried rice, red curry, chicken wings, papaya salad, chicken satay, and the fried banana dessert. The only dish we would not order again is the fried banana, as it was served in the shape of a spring roll and was not hot, instead of the hot lightly breaded style I’m used to. I would still give it a 5 star for the consistency of the food and service.

    Very tasty food and decent portion sizes. We ordered Pad Thai noodles, drunken noodles and pineapple fried rice. All was very tasty and fresh. They asked for spice level from 1: low to 5: super spicy, we went with level 3 but I think it would have tasted better at spice level 4 especially the drunken noodles.

    Ambiance 5 stars Food presentation 5 stars Service 3 stars Food 3 stars This place looks immaculate. It looks like a palace. I like that there's no dress code in Hawaii and everyone can walk in and out with sandals. My friend knew the owner so I got to meet her. She's a smart, elegant, charming lady. She even took our order. My friend had the pad thai but he said it didn't taste that great. We also had a couple of appetizers: Thai fried chicken nuggets, and some kind of pudding inside an egg shell. The appetizers turned out to be the best. For my entree I had the pineapple fried rice which was bland and had no distinct flavor. Instead of pork, they made a mistake by giving me chicken which was fine because I eat both. Service was average. There were too many employees and none seem to have their own station. They were going in different directions like they were lost. At times I felt we were ignored because nobody would come for a long time. We actually left the restaurant when we realized we hadn't pay and had to go back and ask for our bill and pay for it. Overall nice place with average dishes and overblown prices.

    A super fine dining experience in Honolulu with great ambience, great service, great food, great location… the Mango Mojito was a very subtle flavor to start with, followed by veg spring roll… the yellow curry crab and crab fried rice complimented each other and so did the crispy garlic chicken and the chicken fried rice… the best part of the show was served at the end - the mango sticky rice, they make 5 of them each day and we ordered two of them! Better to order the dessert first and then go with the appetizers…

    The venue is nice. The service was good. The staff were friendly. Menu has a lot of pictures. I went for the crab rangoon. They weren't what I was looking for. The wrapper was crunchy while also chewy, but the inside was like a cream cheese egg roll. The pad thai was ok, a little sweet. Not one piece of shrimp in it. The gapao was good if not a little salty. They used minced white meat. The food was meh. I may try one more time, but I doubt it.

    Honestly one of the better Thai spots on the island. You know it’s legit when Leo is served in bottles. Never had a bad meal here, it is pricey but worth it. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable so if you don’t know what to order, they can help out. Tom yum is our go to, level 7 spicey!

    Last minute Tuesday night dinner, got reservations on open table and of we went. Atmosphere is very nice and definitely added to the meal. Food was perfect looked mouth watering tasted wonderful. Only let down was our experience with the server.... it was not his fault he was day a 6 top, us a 3 top and a two top back to back to back. He was trying his best while other staff just watched him struggle and the customers waiting. We will have to try it again and hopefully service will be better.

    This place is a hidden gem located on the third floor of the shopping area. It serves upscale Thai food and their dishes not only looks good, they also taste authentic. If you like Thai food and don’t mind the price, you have to try this place. Highly recommend the pad Thai and pineapple fried rice. Also don’t miss the happy hour menu, check with the restaurant, they offer some slightly smaller dishes for much cheaper price.

    We had dinner here tonight and totally enjoyed it. The food was great! Could have had more veggies with it, but then we could have ordered another dish of mixed veggies. Presentation was great! HOWEVER, they have some tables out in the mall and some ‘fine dining’ inside, which is where we were. It was FLIPPING FREEZING! And the chairs were absolutely disgusting! Dirty, dirty fingerprints all over where people pull out the char on the top and on the sides. I didn’t even want it touching me! Just be prepared. I’m sure at SOME point they will replace all the chairs…

    For the price I paid, I would expect the food to be more than what it was! Instead... It looked bland. And it tasted bland, too! I had to request seasoning and chili oil in order to make my salmon taste like something! The taro rolls I had for an appetizer, however, were very flavorful and delicious! My drink was also tasty, but I wish the presentation was more of an element of surprise?! Regardless, the "bubble" didn't hold up long enough for me to capture a photo after it was created. But... The drink was tasty!

    Vegan eats review: Wait staff said all vegetarian options (last two pages on the menu) are vegan. Lovely venue. Wait staff super helpful and attentive but not intrusive. Took our order slowly starting with drink, then appetizers, and after noshing and gabbing, asked for our dinner order. Gave us time to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Drunken noodles Pineapple fried rice An apple drink that is the drink of the month. I forgot it’s name. We ordered it to share family style and it was a just right for us. Super busy but inside it’s not frenetic but chill. Suggest calling to reserve in advance. Great date venue. Definitely a return visit would be called for.

    If you like Thai but your friends prefer an American steakhouse, bring them here. Elegant setting. Servers in uniform. Beautiful plating with a fine dining aesthetic (which isn't necessarily mine, but I appreciate it). The food is fine, but smaller portions, a bit sweeter, and not as spicy as I'm used to. Mixed drink was too sweet for my taste, so maybe that's a trend.

  • 5/5 Dawn U. 2 years ago on Google
    Really enjoyed this food especially the Pad Thai and Red Curry. We went at happy hour time and got several app-size portions each was between $7-13. They also had discounted drinks. Server was very attentive.

  • 5/5 Inna C. 1 year ago on Google
    Happy hour had a very good selection of food. Very friendly and pleasant experience. I would not order fresh rolls. My suggestion would be to cut fresh rolls into 2 pieces to serve instead of 5 small pieces. it was hard to eat because it was falling apart and it is not what it was showing on the picture menu.

    The place had and incredible vibe, I really like the decoration, also they had a good variety of wines and liquors. The food was so tasty and had and incredible mix of flavors that makes to blow your mind. This guys offer a good gastronomic experience with the drinks and with the food.

    This was hands down the best Thai food I've had on the island. It was all so flavorful and delicious! I'll never forget this place. It was amazing to hear on our way out that they have won Best Thai Food on oahu the last two years in a row and I wouldn't be surprised if they win a third year.

  • 5/5 Sevana O. 2 years ago on Google
    The best Thai food I have ever had. Delicious, good size portions,and wide variety of food. Good happy hour menu. You can't go wrong no matter what you choose. Food, atmosphere, and service are good. It is a MUST if you are in the area.

  • 4/5 Piperton G. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is awesome! Waitress was great! Happy hour appetizers were great priced, perfect portions and literally the best Tom Kha soup I’ve ever had. We reserved for 4:30 to avoid the wait. The spice system is inconsistent. My husband and I both ordered 3 stars. My pineapple fried rice was awesome and def could taste the level 3 spice. My husbands Garlic chicken, although really good, was supposed to also be a 3 star and had no heat at all. The fried banana for dessert was really good too. Other than the spice inconsistency I would mention the restaurant needs a facelift/ deep cleaning. Our table had ripped off stickers and rings and chips all over it - maybe a restaining or a table cloth? Also there was a good size smudge of food on the wall behind my husband’s head. I’m 5 months pregnant and have gotten quite familiar with being face first in many bathroom toilets recently (gotta love Morning sickness) and I would be hesitant to kneel on that bathroom floor, it needs a super deep scrubbing, especially for a “fine Thai” establishment. We’ll def be back though, not the cleanest bathroom or whatever, the food is awesome and the waitress was great! The hostesses were very friendly also!

    Really good Thai. My husband is Thai and it was very authentic plus the presentation was really beautiful. Loved the royal salad since it gave me a great sampling of 5 different items.

  • 5/5 Dee M. 2 years ago on Google
    We went here for lunch on a whim and were so glad we did! I have to say this place has the best Thai iced tea we've ever had! We also tried the red curry, pad Thai, and pineapple fried rice. All of them were delicious and beautifully plated!

    What to say ..The Best Thai I ever had .. we went there 2 days back to back to get the table but it was super crowded. Finally get there early and now staff already remember US 😃.. and after eating food , we felt we did the right think to chase this down . Every dish we had is so delicious and yummy and prepared very very with custom need. It's beautiful and amazing experience we had there . Must go there if you are in Waikiki beach ⛱️..
