I'm super picky about curry and this place has the best on island. From first bite I knew it was a winner. I got the panang curry with tofu. The tofu was fried perfectly and the flavors of the curry were complex with a kick. My husband got the pineapple curry & he was equally impressed. We shared the pad se ew and it had the missing umami flavor I've been missing in most Thai places around here. Can't believe I've driven by this spot since the truck first parked and this is the first we've tried it! I would have posted pictures but we mopped. read more

Such good curry!!! Their delicious pineapple curry put me on a curry kick for the next month or two after I ate there because it was so good. I look forward to trying more items, especially poke. read more

The hype is real! My wife had the pineapple curry with chicken and I had the ahi poke bowl and they were fantastic! (Being from Alaska, I was curious about the salmon poke bowl, but I can get that pretty much any time I want, so...). Good portions and the ladies working there were great. We sat at one of the covered picnic tables between their food truck and the road and even though the road was busy, it wasn't that noisy and you can see the ocean beyond the road. Great experience and we just might return (even though we're only here for the week and we like trying out many different places). read more

Came here because I was looking for salmon poke (a lot of places only have ahi) and was pleased with both the portions and the toppings (lettuce, corn, edamame, avocado) as a lot of places have more rice than fish and only cucumber and lettuce as a topping. I didn't love the pad see ew personally but it wasn't bad. The coconut cream cheese rangoons were unique and yummy too! read more

Food was great. Portion sizes were generous. When I was ordering, I mentioned that a member of our party has food allergies and they were sure to cook the food separately and package it separately. Much appreciated! We will eat here again next time we are on the island! read more

We stopped here for dinner our first night in town and went back the next night bc it was so good. The cream cheese wontons are most likely the best we've ever had. We ordered two orders the second night so we didn't have to share. lol I had the drunken noodles both nights. First night with beef and the second night with chicken. I preferred the beef. My husband got the combination poke bowl the first night and the chicken chowmein. He liked both. They were super busy the second night so we waited over 40 minutes for our food. The first night it was only about 5 minutes. There was a nice lighted seating area behind the food truck with picnic tables. We were happy part of it was under a canopy when it started raining we took shelter at a table there. Plenty of parking spots in the lot they're located in too. read more

So I came for food, but then noticed that they had the mango sticky rice dessert so of course I passed on food and ordered dessert. It was delicious. Worth every bite, only problem was that I wish I had more. read more

Amazing Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp. Cook to perfection and golden yellow rice with great fragrant. Local Hawaiian shrimps are so big and sweet. Poke bowl was served with the freshest sushi grade sashimi and rice in perfect texture. We were totally in shock to find this quality of food from a food truck. They have some clean outdoor seatings in a sturdy tent and string lights. read more

Ordered chicken pad thai, beef Penang curry, and Thai tea. All were very good portions. Chicken pad thai was very flavorful without being greasy. Great flavor.

Found this gem after arriving late on the island and not having a ton of options. But I'm glad we did! Cool little food truck place with a neat tent out back with lots of lights to keep you out of the rain. We got a ton of stuff, fried rice, drunken noodles, poki bowls and the mahi filet. Everything was fresh and delicious! The staff was friendly and the wait wasn't bad. We ended with the mango sticky rice which was a perfect way to "Thai" off the meal! read more

Thai and Poke is a cute food truck in Wailua super close to the beach. The menu consist of Thai curries, sushi and poke. I ordered a spicy Aji poke bowl. I thought it was pretty good. It was light but filling. The service was super friendly and at the window was informative and kind. read more

This is the best mango sticky rice and Thai tea I've ever had. The service was great and the food will be unforgettable.

Amazing sticky rice and mango and excellent service! Thank you!! Really happy we were able to get this when we were In Kauai!!!

I had the ahi poke (spicy) and it was outstanding. Service was very friendly and far too slow. It's a food truck, so you won't be getting much in the way of "ambiance." The truck is located right next to Kenji Burger, so it's easily accessible. There are some tables out back if you feel inclined to stay and eat. read more

Exceptional food at this truck with the sweetest operators, who gave us an order of mango sticky rice on the house. Delicious! read more

Awesome food truck. It was located down the Airbnb that I rented out for a week. We went there once but saw they ran out of sticky rice. We went again before we had to fly back. Had yellow curry this time and it was great! The lady taking our order remembered us from the first time we went. Great service and a great place to end my trip to Kauai! read more

I love Kauai food trucks! This didn't disappoint. The food was fresh. I have to eat gluten free and they were knowledgeable and there were several selections (pad thai, fried rice, curries and more). I opted for the pad thai which i usually find to be a bit too sweet but this had a great mix of some sweetness with a hint of spice. The chicken was tender. My son had fried rice and rated it 10,000 stars ha! read more

We were staying at the ISO, a few feet from the truck, with a lovely balcony and ocean view. We ate at an overpriced restaurant first night, but had the rest of our dinners from here in our room! Their tofu was heavenly . Portions were generous, we snacked on leftovers for lunch. Best food was from the trucks, this was superb! read more

I'm usually not impressed with food trucks. This place was very good!! The panang and satay were spot on. The panang wasn't too spicy more on the sweeter side. read more

We stopped by here after reading all the reviews and have to say it was a good decision. The poke was so fresh and full of flavor. We were already talking about coming back today for another bowl. read more

Excellent food and prices. Nice outside area to eat. We had the larb, a poke bowl, and panang curry. read more

I've been seeing their sign for a while and finally decided to give it a try. Yelp shows them near Island Craves, but they're actually located right next to the wine shop and directly across from McDonald's. I ordered the chicken satay, pork larb, chicken Thai basil, and mango sticky rice. All were absolutely delicious with generous portions. The chicken satay isn't served on sticks, but the flavor is spot-on, possibly the best I've had on Kauai. The larb was well seasoned with the perfect balance of tanginess and spice. There are tables set up behind the food truck under shaded covers, which makes for a nice spot to eat. The staff was friendly, and my food came out fairly quickly even though they were busy. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

Local here. This is the best Thai food on the island in my opinion. The curries are unbelievable. I always get it with fried Tofu. I prefer the yellow, but red is also excellent. Chicken satay which is grilled chicken with a peanut sauce is also one of my favorites. Like I tell everyone--it's all good. To be fair I haven't tried the fish or poke. I'm sure that's all good as well. read more

The food is incredible and the service is amazing. They are very nice sweet people. I had the medium spicy garlic shrimp. My husband and I keep going back to them because the food is so delicious. read more

This was my first time here. I usually go to Anattas up the street in Kapaa town, that's been my main Thai spot since I moved to island over 7 years ago... yet this time around, I hopped on Yelp & this spot came up in my feed after searching for Thai, so I decided to give it a go, since it's only a 7 minute walk from my house. First impressions: I stopped by around 5pm, so it was still light. They have a cute little food truck facing the street, tucked back into the small parking area next to a wine/spirits business (the green building). They're facing directly across from the shopping center adjacent to the Safeway shopping center - the one with the McDonald's - & they're relatively visible, so you can't miss them! Service: I walked up & a sweet Asian girl with a big smile greeted me. Right off the bat, friendly service! I already knew what I wanted, so I placed my order & they were super accommodating about the Thai tea.. Tip: make sure you ask for coconut milk if you have a dairy sensitivity, because they usually make the Thai tea with half&half. Vibe: really loved that they have that grassy, small park area with the seating area setup! You can kick off your slippas & enjoy a good meal... even with the street 50 feet away with cars driving by, it still gives a chill feeling that allows you to relax & enjoy your food, either alone or with company. Food: for $35.60, portions sizes were ideal. The yellow curry... OMG. Creamy, rich & the TOFU?! Ok, they don't just cut up tofu & throw it in the pot; they BAKE their tofu, large pieces, so you get this soft crunch & texture, which I LOVED! I finished the chicken satay first & you get quite a bit more chicken than is typical at Thai food spots (definitely NOT complaining there!)... their peanut sauce was also some of the tastiest I've had. Creamy texture with a touch of heat, PERFECT Overall, they deserve the 5 stars. Service with a smile, tasty Thai dishes. No complaints. I'll be back! read more

The curry is delicious. You will want to send a postcard home telling your friends and family about the Thai food truck in Kapaa.
