One of the best meals we've ever had. We ordered the Yellow Curry, Fresh Rolls, Papaya Salad, Mango Sticky Rice and the Thai Pizza. One of the best food experiences we ever had. 10/10 recommend

Excellent Thai at reasonable prices. Offering avocado as an option instead of protein made the Garden Curry ($16) extra delicious.The Pad Thai ($20 Sunday special) was also outstanding, chicken was tender, vegetables were flavorful and cooked just right.Their "mild" is very mild, you may wish to go one step up, or do what we did and add a little soy sauce.Portions were healthy, enough food for lunch and dinner for both of us. The service was friendly. This place appears to attract locals.We were very happy to find Tina's Garden Cafe.

The ONLY reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is "Covid's fault". Take out only. But, as always, the food is 5 BIG STARS !!

Excellent service and food at this quaint restaurant. We were promptly seated and served by a friendly and personable waitress who took our order in a timely manner. We started with salad rolls, enjoying the colorful array of veggies, shrimp, tofu, and a tasty peanut dipping sauce. The portion size was ample which was delightful. This is an awesome starter to share and could even suffice as a light meal.Considering a single woman prepared food in the kitchen, our food came out so quickly! We shared massaman curry with chicken and the opakapaka with jumbo shrimp.The market price was worth paying for this seafood dish. The lemongrass sauce over the veggies and perfectly steamed fish was fresh and unique, the perfect fusion of Thai and Hawaiian flavor. The curry was excellent too. Go easy on the spice level as the food IS spicy.I loved this spot and it was some of the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten.

Small cute local Thai fusion restaurant with amazing food and delicious handmade lilikoi juice.We have been a number of times and the food is always fresh and full of flavour. The summer rolls with huge, beautiful avo chunks and fresh mint are the perfect starter. The Tom Kah soup is a cup creamy coconut goodness with perfectly cooked asperagus spears and beautiful chunks of soft squash and hearts of palm. Mouthwatering. The green papaya salad is delightful. Recommend medium or mild spice level.The food is satisfying, flavorful, and wonderful to share.So many dishes to try when we return. Thankyou thankyou thankyou!

Cute little cafe on the Hilo waterfront. Flavorful but not excessively rich, well portioned, there are even some great vegan options!I highly recommend the mango rice, and opakopako if they have any left from today's catch.

The two kids running this place Monday nite are not what you want presenting your buisness. There is so much competition in Hilo, and espically the waitress is way to inexperienced for this job. Walked out!
The garden curry with Avocado was just a dream!
