Fantastic Thai food! Some of the better I’ve had. Spice level is customizable and portions are good. Friendly staff and good recommendations.

Fire food! Check these guys out!Own a restaurant on island and know how hard it is right now in this staffing environment to deliver day after day and these guys do! Had their pineapple fried rice with shrimp tonight and didn’t disappoint.

Satay chicken was good, your usual appetitizer. I was looking forward to the eggplant, I requested spicy... no peppers, not one piece of Thai chili in it, it was watered down, bland I should say and disappointed that I could barely taste any spice. I specifically ordered "spicy" knowing that it probably won't meet my level of spice and even requested for side of chili and was told they didn't have fresh Thai chili, but have me a small container of ground dried red chili and jalapeños. Sorry ... what Thai restaurant doesn't have Thai chili peppers. If you know authentic Thai food, then you know... based on this I wouldn't recommend this place.

Very bad service, staff were very arrogant.

No alcohol but you can bring your own. Bar nect door is fun, but you can't get to go beverages.

Good Thai food. Made our dishes vegan for us which was amazing. Our panang veggie curry was priced $16 on the menu but we were charged $20 and also overcharged by another $1 for not having tofu for some odd reason. If you like spicy, you need to go for at least 5-6 on scale. Portion for curry a bit small for the price but worth trying and stopping by. Glass noodle dish was just okay.

My favorite Thai place in Kona. Excellent, flavorful food and lovely, friendly service. If I happen to be in town I always order Pad Kee Mao; Drunken Noodles or one of their lunch specials.

From the moment we walked in we were greeted with extremely friendly hosts. The server recommendations were great and every dish was delicious. Would definitely recommend stopping by and trying this great spot. I have some severe allergies and they were great about making sure that none of the allergens were in the food.

Got sat down and our order was taken. Ended up waiting nearly 75 minutes for the food. When I asked about the wait time, the waiter said others got their food only because they had ordered an appetizer, pressuring me to order one as well. For me this place is a tourist trap, not
