This place is a five star for me I love their food.Waiter always does a great job with my order.I just love the Food

This was our last meal in Oahu before we headed to the airport to return home. We wanted something easy and familiar to eat for the older parents and this hit the spot before we departed. Their menu was pretty extensive, but we got the basics. We got: - Pad Thai - Pad See Ew - Fried Long Rice (basically pan fried rice noodles) - Mango Sticky Rice - Tapioca Pudding Everything was good but the mango sticky rice was an exceptional treat at the end. The mangoes were sweet and paired with the coconut milk, it had us craving for more. Workers were extremely nice and accommodating! They made sure to clarify their menu and checked in periodically with us to see if we needed anything.

It was Halloween and it was so busy everywhere....and I was hungry. I remembered Salt Lake Shopping Center had some restaurants there and it was on my home to my aunt's place. I was looking around and found this place. The owner was really nice and I ordered a green curry chicken. When it first came out to be honest it didn't look that great but it was pretty tasty. It's nothing fancy, more like homestyle cooking. Just good clean flavors It's a pretty small place, maybe 6-8 tables. There is lots of parking in the parking lot. I enjoyed my curry and I'm sure I'll be back on my next trip......

Met up with family here for lunch. My wife had eaten here before and enjoyed it, so that was good enough for me to give it a try. Located in the Salt Lake Shopping Center, the parking is shared by other merchants so it can get a little competitive during the lunch hour, but we all found a spot. We ordered family style and selected about 4 different items. Sadly, I can't recall what we got but I do know that everyone enjoyed the food. The staff was very attentive to our needs and the dishes came nearly at the same time leaving us a little cramped for space for them all on the table. That's a good problem to have! I deducted one star only because I think the dining tables are on the small size. Understandably, they're trying to accommodate as many customers as possible in their small suite, and offering larger tables means less customers eating inside while others wait outside. It's a difficult balance. Regardless, this one is definitely on the "Will Return" list.

Generous and tasty and reasonable prices! I am all in! Took my small dog in there without incident - yay- had pho and Pad See Ew - very nice! lack of one star is for Thai Iced Coffee overly sweet and NOT Thai! someoone please tell me who makes real Thai Iced Coffee on the island???

Shop at the Saltlake shopping center very often. Keep seeing this restaurant but never bother to go in. Was in the mood for thai and was in the area. Service was fast at the beginning because it was early for lunch. But as soon as lunch came around, it got busy. It was a wait time, but it was normal for what looked like 2 in the kitchen, 2 in front of the house, and one helping both sides. Ordered the yellow curry with thai sticky rice. It was about $13.00. It was just me, so I went for it. You better come hungry because the bowl was large. They changed 50 cents for take-home containers, so I was determined to finish my dish. The curry had a nice color to it with coconut milk and a nice ratio of meat, vegetables, and curry to make the dishes serving portions even with the rice. But, as much as I tried. I could not finish it. If you never had thai sticky rice. You got to try it at least once. It's chew and sweet. It's a nice combination with the thai curry. Pros: The yellow curry is really good. Flavors blend very well and balanced with sticky rice. Just enough meat, vegetables, and curry, and it was a lot, so come hungry. Cons: Place is small, so go early. When it gets busy, expect slow service. But they try their best with what workers they have. So please be patient. Would I go back? Yes, and I plan to.

My cousin arranged a dinner meet up with her family and made a reservation here. There were five adults and two children, so if you have a big party, definitely call. They were getting busy as the evening continued not only with inside dining, but take out as well. The staff is courteous and nice, and I think it's a family owned restaurant, which is great. We started with fresh summer rolls which were soooo good! And then the dishes just kept coming out. There was a papaya salad, and a delicious chicken with green beans which had some heat! I liked the pad see ew with chicken and the green curry was very good. I didn't care for the sticky rice because it was a little hard to scoop out of the cute little baskets. There was also several orders of fried fish, which was a hit with the kids. It was a very pleasant evening, and I love places that don't care if you order something to drink besides water or not. It's pretty common on the island which is nice. Definitely worth checking out. Mahalo Pad Thai!

My family comes here often but it was my first time. It's conveniently located in the strip mall closer to the end with McDonald's. We ordered a variety of dishes including green curry, pad see ew, fried fish, summer rolls and papaya salad. Everything had great flavor! service was quick and prices are reasonable. I would definitely return!
