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

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

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

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

We ordered the mango sticky rice and Thai tea and the mango was incredible so juicy and sweet and perfectly ripe. The Thai tea tasted similar to the Thai tea I had in Thailand! We had to come back again the next day to try their food. The truck is sitting in a parking lot that has a big field of grass in the back with 6 large tables set us so plenty of space and fresh air if you want to eat your food there (which we did). We got the garlic chicken and poke and everything has just been amazing would strongly recommend! read more

We were looking for a place to have a late lunch and actually noticed this gem while driving by. My wife loves Thai street food and has experienced the real thing while visiting Thailand many years ago. 8E88 is the real deal! The portions are large and that food is delicious! We had the mix Poke, garlic chicken stir fry, Thai iced tea, and sweet sticky rice with mango. Every part of this meal was prepared perfectly. They are a new start up so you may not find them on a map search just yet. Look for them right across from the Waipouli shopping center on the corner of Kamoa Rd and Hwy 56 in Kapa'a. read more

History

Established in 2025.

The story of 8E88 Thai & Poke began with a dream. A dream born from travel, passion, and family tradition. The name 8E88 holds a special meaning- in Thai, it sounds like cheerful clucking of chicken, “ek eeee ekk ekk.” My mother chose the name as playful nod to the island of Kauai, where chickens roam freely and bring smiles to everyone. It’s reminder of home, family and Joy.

Meet the Business Owner: June S.

After a decade in the aviation industry as a flight attendant, I discovered that my true calling was not in the skies but in the kitchen. My passion for cooking was inspired by my grandmother, whose timeless recipes and warmth taught me that food is a true expression of love and culture. 8E88 Thai&poke is the embodiment of passion- a beautiful harmony of authentic Thai flavors and island freshness of Hawaiian poke. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted with care, precision, and 100% cooked with love for my customers. We also take pride in offering delicious vegan and vegetarian options, ensuring everyone can enjoy our food made from heart.

In fact, a lot of love show for all the food trucks in the Kapaa area. But this joint had hella high reviews on all platforms and it's been a fat minute since I've scarfed down Thai food so braddah I was hyped. I asked the employees to give me whatever they thought a first time customer should have: hence, I ended up w their chicken pad Thai. There's no spice level as they'll give ya a side of thai peppers to sprinkle over to your liking. Now idk if it's bc I waited maybe 20minutes before eating. But idk. It just didn't hit like how I want my pad Thai to hit. The noodles were clumped together and even after mixing everything together, the taste and texture was just a bit dry and lacking in umame. I really wish I could hype this place more just bc but. Yeah. I'm guessing I just caught them on an off day or maybe it's just my b for taking too long to walk to my end destination for chowing down.

There are several food trucks in that location and there are few tables for sitting outside or easy street parking for a quick pick up. Our order was ready in less than 10min. Price is reasonable.

It's the kind of place that you're tempted to walk past. I'm glad we didn't. Everyone in our party was happy with their orders even though some are not huge lovers of Asian food. We had fried rice, drunken noodles, pad thai and orange chicken. I loved seeing basil plants sitting outside. Fresh is best! Seating is limited so you may want to take away. We were given service with a smile. Mahalo to the hard-working kitchen team! My only tip: the drunken noodles were pretty spicy, so if you are a heat while, maybe choose a different option. My lips were on fire but my mouth was not. Enjoy!

But the other table had a couple of guys who had just finished golfing and were talking a little loud. We ordered the lobster ravioli, two salads, the coconut shrimp and the mahi mahi sautéed in a capers and white wine sauce. The salads were both great and huge. Next time we will split one. I loved the peanut sauce dressing. So good! The lobster ravioli was cheese ravioli with a lobster cream sauce. Very good too. The Mahi Mahi was light and flaky, served over buttery mashed potatoes and veggies. Excellent! The coconut shrimp were huge, crunchy in a kind of sweet chili sauce with rice and veggies. Really good! Great place that we are putting on our list of places we love in Kauai! Come support them!

We had to wait about 20 minutes to get seated. The staff was nice and it seemed like a lot of locals went here. My party and I ordered a chicken pho, a couple stir-fry dishes, and a bun with shrimp, pork, and egg roll. We ended up waiting an hour for our food, and even at that hour mark, the egg rolls that were supposed to come with the bun were not ready so I asked them to take it off the bill. The food was not worth waiting for. I wouldn't recommend this place because of the slow service and the food wasn't that good.
