Quick service delicious food! I had the pineapple curry and my friend had the eggplant. My daughter had the beef all were delicious. Lunch specials go till 2:30 and come with salad with an awesome peanut dressing and spring rolls. Try the Thai ice tea or the amazing special teas. Plenty of parking in the lot

Been a few times..have had Pad See Ew and Drunken Noodles. Great flavor. I get it mild but get their homemade hot cause on the side. Comparative prices, it is Kona? My only complaint was a lack of veges, but the last time was a little better? I'll keep trying other places but this is my fave so far

Everything is delicious so far. I tried the SSS duck after seeing Guy Fieri on DDD rave about it. Today I had the red curry chicken lunch special. Great value. Comes with a veggie spring roll, sticky rice and a nice salad. So many yummy veggies and very flavorful curry sauce. Friendly staff and cute decor. Excellent parking too.

We heard about this place through a conversation at a bar, and wow - what a great recommendation! The food is so fresh and the flavors like not other than place I've tasted (not discounting other Thai places I've visited). Definitely recommend the Thai Heaven spice level (if you like heat) - and what's awesome, is the heat doesn't overtake the dish (but stays hot!). I can't pronounce what we had but. It was chickens, garlic, and veggies - with sticky rice. House fried rice is awesome as well. The servers are super nice and never stressed - even when busy. Get here early as it can get super busy with takeout.

Incredible flavors perfectly cooked dishes. We were on vacation and had enough of overpriced hotel and resort food. We found this on yelp and went there 3 times after tasting their food. Thanks for saving us from burger deep fried greasy resort food. Cashew chicken is the best I've ever had!

I googled and yelp searched best Thai food on Kona and restaurant had so many good reviews and I see why! The wait staff was amazing and so nice and funny to talk too. I had a cup of the Tom yum soup with chicken, this cup of soup did NOT disappointment me at all!! One of the best soups I have ever had! I asked the waitress her favorite and she said "order the ramma with chicken, it has an amazing homemade peanut sauce on it and comes with cabbage and carrots and broccoli. It is not on the menu". NOT on the menu! Sign me up but I am not a broccoli fan and has taken off. This plate of food came with sticky rice and it was so damn good! Order the ramma with chicken! I highly recommend this place!!

Past the bar and to the left. We had a little trouble finding it but we're glad we eventually did. Staff was quick to find us a table. Literally the second we walked in we were addressed. This staff is quick to serve and address your concerns. Clean place, silverware was clean as well as the floors, etc. excellent. Sadly I forgot to get a picture of the Thai fried rice with shrimp. Snapped a photo of the pineapple fried rice with tofu though. I kid you not, absolutely delicious. My shrimp friend rice I ordered with level 4 spice. Was actually not bad! But I love hear. ASK FOR THE SPICY SHOYU SAUCE!!!! it was soo amazingly good!!!! We loved this place. Perfect after a day of walking, swimming, snorkeling. We slept like bears after we were done haha. Excellent work!!! Will recommend to anyone headed that way.
