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!

Sawasdee kha! I went to this restaurant with my husband today for dinner. The restaurant was understaffed, so the service was kinda slow but still tolerable. I ordered Goong Tod and Pad Kee Mao (Pork, Thai hot), and husband ordered BBQ Pork Summer Rolls and Pad Ped (Beef, Hot). Goong Tod was crunchy and rich in flavor, and the Pad Kee Mao reminded me of my Thai friend’s home cooking. When it comes to spiciness, they don’t play with it. Thai hot literally means as hot as the food sold in Thailand, so if you’re not used to eating spicy food you might want to order medium spicy instead. I am Indonesian so the Thai hot they’re offering is just right for me. Husband’s food was good as well, so definitely we’ll come back to this place again sometimes in the near future. Kop khun kha!

Last night's Waikiki Block Party was packed and I ordered from this restaurant: lemongrass fried chicken and pad Thai (combo B) and the food was amazing! The lemongrass fried chicken was cooked to perfection; crispy, light batter, and juicy. The pad Thai was not dry an clumpy like other food stalls, but it was a little cold from being out. Otherwise, a very good takeout meal. I can only imagine what the restaurant experience is like.

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.

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.

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!
