    Great vegetable spring rolls, pineapple fried rice, and customer service. This restaurant atmosphere was relaxing. I wanted to dine-in because each table had linen tablecloths with glass overlay. The servers were prompt and friendly. Our orders were fresh and hot. Thanks!

    Great Thai and Lao food! Really authentic, fresh taste and ingredients, and plenty of options that you don't find at other restaurants. One of, if not the best, thai/lao restaurants on the island. It's at the end of the strip mall right on kamehameha hwy with plenty of parking right in the front.

    All dishes were good except the 2 Marsaman curry servings which were too salty to eat. Everyone in our group of 10 agreed. They tried to redo it but were still too salty. Server insists we eat it with rice. We asked if we can just have it cancelled since we ordered 2 servings of 9 dishes but the server said we can’t do that. Also double check your bill cos they will secretly charge you a 20% service charge. Our previous experience here was not like this.

    The food is delicious here. The restaurant is very clean and lots of parking is available. What I like is that you can choose your level of spiciness from mild to extreme.

    We went to Thai Lao on our way to the airport. The restaurant is located in a strip mall. It is fairly clean (there was a dead bee on the window sill of our booth) and the staff was friendly. They have a large menu of Thai favorites. We went with a couple of the Thai basil dishes (beef and chicken), pad see ew, and drunken noodles. The basil dishes were both very good. We ordered medium and my wife’s seemed to be less spicy than mine. The noodle dishes were very good as well. Service could have been better but they seemed to be running on a skeleton crew. Prices are around $15 per plate. If we’re in the area and craving Thai we would return here.

    Good is always good here. I have tried many dishes and have never had an issue. Staff are nice and attentive. I like spicy food but not super spicy. Their medium heat is just right for me.

    Beautifully decorated restaurant and the food is so good! I stopped here for lunch today with my vegan friend and they told us they could make any dish vegan. We ordered pad thai, spring rolls, and pineapple curry. Everything was delicious. We want to come here every week! The service is very excellent, too.

    Delicious food, fun statues in the front, and engaged and attentive staff. Their Pad Thai and Pad See Ew were some of the best I've had, same for the Tom Kha Gai. We also had the Calamari rings which were great as well!

    The food was delicious! Although the wait was a bit long, it was yummy! Waitress was super nice even to our daughter who was being a fussy butt. Most fancy pho area I've seen so far

    Absolutely loved the food here! As vegans finding options can be difficult especially dine worthy food. However, they not only had vegan options, but the food was absolutely delicious and to die for. One of the best Thai Laos food I’ve ever had! If I could, I would definitely give more than 5 stars! Would definitely recommend! To the restaurant staff, Richi and Chef Auntie Oi, thank you so so so very much from Berkeley, CA residents.

    The best thai food I’ve ever had! The food is so full of FLAVOR! The fried garlic garnish makes it even better. The pad see ew was so packed with so much flavor I didn’t need to add any pepper paste to it like I do with other thai restaurants. It’s not dry and the vegetables are proportionate to the noodles. The Ong Choi is my favorite vegetable dish with the right amount of sauce. The ladies there are so friendly every time I visit. I often visit just to fulfill my cravings. Don’t forget to get the warm tapioca dessert!

    Easy on and off from the H-1, just the reprieve we needed from the traffic. Atmosphere is relaxing with a pleasant charm to its decor. Best friend spring roll of our lives! Pad Thai and pineapple from rice (big juicy shrimp) were top tier in flavor!

    We ordered take out for two soups (Tom yum and chicken coconut soup), and Pad Thai. When we picked up our order @8:50 pm 12/18/2021the guy said there were no more mushrooms in the soup because they were so busy and didn’t give us a courtesy call to let us about it. They said that they added more chicken to make up the absence of mushrooms but overall we were still disappointed due to lack of taste. We had to add shoyu to get more flavor in the soup and had to add sweet sour sauce in the pad Thai which was greasy and watery. We love Thai food so much and have been throughout most of the Thai Restaurants here on island and know how delicious Thai food taste like. Please address this concern to the management and have them get in contact with me 🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Been awhile since I've come here for dinner. Nice and quiet on a Tues. Server was very cordial and friendly and food was really good. Prices have gone up like everywhere else but still nice place to dine

    Good restaurant near Pearl harbor museum. Fast service and tasty food. We liked the Green Curry and Tapioca dessert.

  • 5/5 Joy A (. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is great! Their papaya salad (asked for Lao style) is on point. Love the flavors. It's our go to place for all Thai food cravings.

    The Thai Lao chain is by far the best Thai restaurants on the island. The food in the Aiea chain is absolutely delicious, but the service is not very good. The waiters are not responsive and there are flies in the restaurant. Recommend you go to the Kapolei branch, the food is even more delicious and the service is so much better.

    Family owned restaurant. Been going here from Day 1 when they first opened 6 years ago. Owners and staff are very friendly and make us feel at home. They are very accomodating to our dietary needs as Vegans. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. P.S. We love their Pineapple Fried Rice, Yellow Curry, Summer Rolls (as pictured), Sticky Rice, and Pad Thai. For our drinks, we get Iced Coffee and Thai Tea, made with Coconut Milk. So delicious!!

    Really good food and very nice friendly customer service.

    order to go or you’ll be waiting on your food forever! We got in at 1830, seen for our order at 1845, didn’t receive our food until 1925, got all of our order at 1935, I stood in line so I can pay at 2010 because she wouldn’t go to our table. Food is ok, and not coming back!

    The food was amazing, service was great! Keep in mind when you order that they are mostly shareable portions. And a majority of plates do not list a protein because you get to choose! Overall pleasant experience! Will be going back.

    One of the amazing Thai restaurants I have been to in Oahu. We ordered vegetarian basil fried rice and Evil jungle curry. Both were so delicious. The portions were kind of big that can be shared by two people. The folks were very friendly. My only qualm would be that they take a very long to serve food.
