The food was excellent - very flavorful too bad they shut down. We do have a friend who can get the recipes so "we"can always enjoy it . Service was good. The environment was very loud because it was very busy even on their last day of service. But it was nice and clean.

Great Tim Yum soup, friendly server. Clean restaurant, and somewhat affordable by Hawaiian standards.

Food and service was amazing, my wife and I stopped in on our way back to the airport as our 2 week vacation was coming to an end. I had the red curry vegan style and I must say I really enjoyed it. It was my first time trying red curry! My wife had the fried rice and enjoyed it as well. Thank you all for being prompt, and welcoming‼

Most Vegan friendly place we have found in the area. Can you believe they actually ask if you "want fish sauce"!? It shows that they know some people don't want it and recognize that some Vegans/Vegetarians also don't know it is in much of Thai food. Anyway, the service is also great and food delicious. We ate here three times during our trip to Hilton Ocean Towers and they said they can make any dish here Vegan. Clean and well decorated ambiance.

Walked right in and immediately seated. Started with shrimp summer rolls - decent. Pad Thai with chicken satay was excellent- prepared with medium spice. The chicken satay was marinated in lemongrass and very tender, but very small bites of chicken. Thai-style Teri beef with jasmine rice was so good. Thin slices of beef prepared with brown sugar to add to the sweetness. We didn't like the papaya salad. We came here on a whim to eat away from the touristy, price-traps near our resort. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Lunch portion entrees were just the right serving size for two. So hungry we forgot to take photos of the entrees.

Good service, and good food options. I thought some of the plating for the chicken rice dishes was sloppy, but other than that all was fine (maybe cut the peppers smaller cause that's a lot to bite into). Pad Thai was excellent with medium spice Yellow curry was very good #2 was good (smaller than dinner sized pad Thai serving fyi) Sweet and sour chicken was not our favorite and not what you'd normally think of Spicy chicken was good
