Seriously the most delicious authentic tasty Thai food I have had in my life. I am vegan and the chef made the best curries and Thom kha soup. The Mung bean noodle with Garlic tofu is the best. Can’t wait to Come back. Also the owner Mina is a delight.

If I could leave a negative star I would. The service was the only good thing. The rice dish I got was dry with giant tomatoes in it and huge slices of old green onions. Dish for me and my husband was bland. This is definitely not Thai food don’t even waste your money.

Excellent! The servings are large, and the ingredients are carefully selected. I have been to Thailand and this is the most authentic Thai I’ve had in Hawaii

I like their papaya salad, but the Tom Yum is less authentic. I think they try to make it comfortable for the locals to eat. I’m a little disappointed that the soup isn’t as as spicy as I want it to be. I also asked for their chilly sauce, and it’s surprisingly not as hot. But the soup itself is good. I also ordered mango sticky rice and it was really good.

I ordered a garlic stake and it by it self was $20+ dollars. Like seriously it only had garlic and a sprinkle of lettuce that was all withered and copple od lettuce buts in there no seasoning nothing. The stakes at foodland is way cheeper there and i could of made 5 plates worth. This place ripped me off big time. Im a cook and this food they served was horrible. Negative 5 stars

A small but intimate and nicely decorated dining room. They also offer outdoor seating. Servers are friendly and attentive. My curry dish was made to order. Food tasted delicious.

I will start off this review by stating that although I eat out 5 or 6 night a week, I am not a Thai food aficionado. I do love good food and good service and I got both here from Chef Guy and Chef Paul at Chao Phyu Thai Restaurant in the Windward City Shopping Mall. With that said, the food at Chao Phyu Thai Restaurant is AMAZING! The newly redecorated place is very clean and comfortable for a single, a couple or a large party. The walls and decorations in the place make you feel like you are invited to the Chefs house for a personal meal. I came in on a weekday for a business lunch and was greeted by Chef Guy and he sat with us and took the time to talk story and get to know us. He suggested a few menu items and set us up with some drinks. This was a business casual lunch, so we only had tea and water, however they do allow BYOB and encourage you to bring your own wine or a cooler for the gang. We started off with the red curry soup and a double order of Thai Crispy Spring Rolls. Next up was a generous platter of Chicken Pad Thai Then came the main course of Seared Scallops on a bed of Indian noodles cooked to perfection. Along with that is the imported King Salmon; we ordered the salmon to share which came with a generous side salad and served on top of a bed of couscous so tender and buttery. This fish just falls into your mouth and is so delicious. Also, in the main course was the giant sautéed clams in a curry soup broth. My favorite was the Scallops, and I recommend this place!! Most entrees are served with a fresh salad, and generally are loaded down with vegetables. The portions are huge, and everything is made fresh to order. What sets them apart is the brilliant balancing of flavors. Sweet, acid, heat, sours, bitter and fragrant aromatics... nothing too 'spicy'... take for example the pad Thai I am used to pad Thai that is coated in some slippery sweet peanut sauce... here the peanuts are served on the side (delicious) and the flavors of the pad Thai without the peanut sauce is simply irresistible. This restaurant is in the Windward City Shopping Mall, next to Starbucks and facing Kamehameha Hwy in Kaneohe and is easy to see from a moving car. Pop by for a quick visit, look at the menu and pictures on the walls, then order the best Thai Meal you have had in Hawaii.

Friendly Service from the busser, server constantly tried to upsell us like we were at a used car lot. FOOD IS TERRIBLE AND OVERPRICED. Would not recommend. Oh and this is in Hawaii and your view from you outside table is either your car or people drinking coffee at starbucks. This is AMERICA's TOP RESTAURANTS TO NEVER GO TO.

Food was overpriced and flavors not the same when new owners took over. Cashew nut chicken was dry and nuts old. Like leftovers reheated in the microwave. Stuffed chicken wings had more cabbage in it than chicken and chicken skin was tough, hard to chew. Disappointed since Mama Toy is no longer there! Not returning.

Honestly the thai food I grew up on. I've been coming here since keiki times. Owner momma toi puts a lot of love in her dishes and you'll definitely know wat I mean. P.s. get the thai sticky rice.

We found a roach 🪳 in our coconut soup. Door dash delivered the food. We called the restaurant and complained. At first they told us they would only credit us the soup. They admitted, that exterminators had just come to the restaurant. They also admitted that the exterminator told him that exterminating could also bring out more roaches. Well as evidenced by the roach in our soup they came out. This restaurant should have closed down until the roach problem was completely under control. We had to fight for a complete refund.

Amazing food, meticulous presentation, and a quick tip - Go with Chef Guy's recommendations because your taste buds will be like, "Whoa! Wow! Wonderful!"

Although the friends we went with love this restaurant, their style of cooking is not to my taste. The spring rolls were great! The cashew chicken was ok, but the dark meat tasted odd, and the beef in the pad thai tasted odd. I won't go there again.

This restaurant has the most welcoming environment on the island. The only thing that is better then the hospitality is the food! The will come out and explain about what you ordered and how it was prepared and show you the fish he used. He will explain how he is adamant on only using the freshest ingredients from the islands. The hostess will be there for anything you need and make you feel like family but not overwhelming. If you like athletic Thai food or want to eat something done right you can’t miss out on this experience.

Great food. Great service.

Chao Phya Thai is a hidden gem. Wonderful lace to eat and enjoy an evening.

Slow service. But food was delicious

Mina is the best! So sweet she made the whole experience utterly amazing.

Great thai restaurant. Food is delicious. Service is friendly and personalized. The restaurant is tucked behind the Starbucks at the corner of the shopping complex and is a little difficult to spot from the parking area. But you won't be disappointed with the food and service at this restaurant.

Went for lunch... outside seating was average. I suggest eating inside without the noise and people looking at what you're eating through a window from next door Starbucks.

This is a winner!! Unique Thai flavors, beautiful presentations, the chef, "Guy" came to our table & introduced his creations & his obvious love of the fresh & local finds. Mahalo, I'll be back!!!

Best food, best service, best everything

We had a good dinner. Great appetizers fried spring rolls and chicken satay. Main dish was fine. What colored my experience was a bright green gecko crawling up my leg ... twice. I know they do a lot of good, but I'm not a fan.

Outstanding and friendly service. The food was delicious! I will definitely come back!!

Please! Do yourself a favor and eat here

Was good, but nobody gets five stars for feeding me on plastic covers..

This was the most amazing thai food I have ever had in my entire life. The experience was like no other. They genuinely put so much love into everything about this Restaurant. I will be back. This is my favorite place on island by far

It was amazing. Service was splendid, the Lady asked our favorites and experience, and made recommendations what to order and modified the dishes appropriately. The food itself was top quality, cooked exactly right and tasty. We did not expect to find such a nice dining experience there. Perfect, we left with a smile or two. :)

Food was outstanding! Service was excellent! The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for good Thai food you have to come here!

Just amazing. We were not that experienced with Thai food, but with the ladys recommendations we had the best meal we had in our time in Hawaii. Because of fish and nut allergies, we had to customize some meals quite a bit - it was no problem and we learned, that all meals are cooked fresh and individually. Even our vegetarians (me and my girlfriend) were amazed, since in American restaurants it isn't always easy to find something good without meat or fish. And if you don't find something on the card - Talk to them, they will find a way to make you happy. Try the garlic tofu and the Thai ice tea with coconut milk! If you are in Oahu, doesn't matter where - Go there. It is the best restaurant on the island.

My goodness, this is a fabulous Thai food restaurant in Kailua. Can it be? It is hidden, I have driven by there so often and drove right by. The garlic Seafood Medley is must try, stuffed chicken wings, the Patties were great.

The food was absolutely horrible! It gave me and my family horrible stomach aches and we have diarrhea... It has been a month now. I don't know how much longer I can take! I couldn't make it to the toilet!! 😓😖😵 Gelato was amaze balls tho

OMG....Thai food is just a happy party of flavors all in one.

Delicious! I highly recommend the amazing offerings of Chef Guy & his team. Order anything. It'll come out perfect. Mina is very knowledgeable about each ingredient and was so accommodating for our various food allergies making sure each item was GF.

All I can say is WOW. This Thai restaurant had so many choices and Mina (the owner and our waitress for the evening) was simply amazing! The portions was very generous and the food very favorable. We drove all the way from Wahiawa because we heard so many great things about this place and the reviews showed us as well. We are so beyond thankful for the experience and the tasty food and especially Mina!

Fantastic food. Great menu and very friendly staff. Got to try the fried fish with garlic, Chao Phya Tai noodles, Chicken stir fry and home made coconut ice cream for dessert.

We love coming here for a casual dinner or a special occasion. The food is fresh and local and hand selected by the chef. He comes out to visit with the clients and since he knows us gives a personal touch to our meal. We have never left hungry or disappointed. We recently celebrated my husbands birthday and he said his meal was the best he ever had. It is delicious and beautifully presented. The staff is very attentive and generous. We love this restaurant!

I stopped in on a recent rainy evening in Kaneohe, in this little gem of a restaurant tucked away within the Windward Shopping Center. Sure glad I did! I tried the spring rolls and the namesake noodles (Chao Phya Thai noodles). The restaurant wasn't busy, so I can imagine that it might take longer when it is, but my appetizer was served within 7-8 minutes, and my entree arrived before the appetizer was half done. The restaurant was decorated for the holiday season and it made the room even nicer. Dark red tablecloths adorn all the tables and attractive wicker chairs were well-padded and comfortable. There was also an outdoor seating area, but with the showery night, I chose the main room. I recommend this restuarant to all my friends and family, and everyone else as well. The only reason I didn't give a five star is because this is my first (but definitely not last) visit and I only tried one appetizer and one entree. But I'll be back to try again, and if all goes as well as tonight and tastes as good, I'll be raising it to five stars!

Like going to see family or an old friend. As it is stated over and over, the service is 5 star. And like the service, the food is equally wonderful and priced very well. Portions are generous and you will leave feeling not only full, but happy as well.

This place really took care of me and my wife. The food was fantastic. Appetizers and Entree was really good, I would recommend to anyone visiting Honolulu like I.

Not your average Thai restaurant... variety & quality beyond the norm.

Great food and service!

Very cozy atmosphere, polite staff that are accommodating and patient with questions. Food is excellent and prepared with fresh, high quality ingredients. Portions are generous for the price.

Makana's favorite place to eat!

If you come to Hawaii you have GOT to try this place. This restaurant has the best food! I love Thai food and the menu is both super creative and authentic. The portions are large and worth every dime. Plus, Mina is so nice and sweet! Her and the entire staff have the friendliness and most professional personalities. Just based off the amazing service alone I wish I could give this place 6 stars out of 5! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend this place! We ate the stuffed chicken appetizer, coconut shrimp appetizer, salmon, lamb and yellow curry with chicken and sweet rice. All very delicious!

The food her is so delicious and the service is amazing. The coconut shrimp is the best we’ve ever had. Also, they have very good prices and a good atmosphere.

Tasty as heck.

Amazing food and services! All the food is great! Mina makes you feel like family and Chef Guy is fun.

Food was very tasty and service was excellent. Made you feel like you were old friends.

The best!

Excellent food and service

The server there is really nice but the food there tastes like nothing. Tastes like no seasoning, so bland. I originally from Thailand. I was born and raised there. when I told the owner about the food she started tell me about Mama Toy teach them how to cook it this way but I really don't believe that this is Mama Toy recipes. The way she explains to me how to cook Pad Thai (which I am Thai) and I know Pad Thai in this world have a lot of different way to make but that is definitely not how we... Thai people make them. Probably won't be back 😕 cause the price is so... Thank you for the nice service but not the food.

Place is good but it's over price. The food looks like they give a lot but it's not so much.
