This is my go-to place! When I don't feel well, Bangkok Chef. When I need to cater, Bangkok Chef. When family is visiting from out of town, Bangkok Chef. When I'm behind and don't have time to make dinner, Bangkok Chef. Their green papaya salad, green curry and spring rolls are my favs but everything I've had is delicious! read more

I feel like everything I order here is always so amazing! The food is so good here and it's authentic Thai. I love their basil chicken, their pad Thai, and yellow chicken curry. Their food is always fresh tasting and so flavorful, I love this place! read more

Walked in had eye contact with the sour faced guy behind the counter, no greeting, no nothing. "can I have spring rolls to go?" "is that all?" Not a single word after that. dude just turned around, grabbed a small clamshell of ready made spring rolls and basically dumped it on the counter. That was it. Instead of the store hours, they should just post a sign saying "go someplace else." I'll just pretend from now on that there actually is one. read more

I've been ordering food here for years and each time I visit, my experience has been on the decline. I placed a phone order and the man who answered was extremely rude and impatient. I couldn't understand what he was saying because he kept mumbling, so to make sure he took down my order correctly, I had him confirm my order. He quickly repeated the order in a mean and annoyed tone. When I went to pick up my phone order, the cashier was sitting on the chair (with no customers in line and he wasn't on the phone). He didn't acknowledge my presence or rush to get up to see if I was ordering or picking up. From my side, I said I was picking up my order. Once he spoke, I realized it was the same rude/grouchy many that answered the phone. He typed in my order and just mumbled my amount. Then grabbed the bag and shoved it over. No "thank you", no "here you go". Completely aggressive and rude for no reason. He was a middle aged man with glasses and a ponytail. Maybe he needs to stay in the back, away from paying customers with that unchecked attitude. Also, they automatically charged me $0.25 for a bag that I didn't ask for, nor had a choice to take or not. You also have to grab your own utensils as they do not provide that or napkins automatically. read more

Pretty affordable Thai food here. Seems popular for takeout among locals. Decent Thai food, but nothing too memorable. Parking can be tricky in this area. Panang Curry with Pork was good, I just wish there was more portions! read more

Bangkok Chef - 6. Panang Curry with Pork - Thai Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Easy to order and pick up. Good food, parking in front of the restaurant. Tomyum soup, curry and spring rolls

Recommend calling to order ahead if you're getting dinner because the wait might be a bit. The food is good and prices are reasonable. My go to is the basil shrimp- spicy and pad ki mao (i think that's how you spell it). Definitely will be back again. read more

Price: 4 stars Portion: 4 stars Taste/Quality: 4 Service: 4 First time at the Nuuanu location. Waited exactly 15 minutes for my takeout order that I placed at the restaurant. The prices are reasonable, portion size was enough to take for lunch the next day, quality and taste is always great with Bangkok Chef. Not sure if the owners are the same but the food taste just as the other locations I've been to. Service was ok as well. If you have a huge order to pick up I suggest you bring a bag or box otherwise expect to pay for the paper bag (s) or hand carry your order. read more

I've been to some of the other Bangkok Chef's and they were not good. However, I've heard positive things about this location, the original. I'm usually a green curry or panang curry kind of person. This time around I thought I'd try the chicken pad thai and fried chicken wings. They were both delicious. The aroma that the pad thai gave off was mouth watering. I took my first bite and it was as good as it smelled. They sauce and noodles were perfect. The wings were crispy and light, no breading. It was in the take out container for half an hour with condensation. I thought for sure that it was going to be soggy. Nope, it was still nice and crispy. I got the ala carte wings, since I didn't need the rice because I got the pad thai. I counted 16 wings, which is decent for the price. Dip the wings in the nuoc cham sauce that it comes with. The sauce puts it over the top. My friend ordered the lemongrass chicken and the veggies. I sampled both and they were good. I want to go back and try the curries. read more

Five stars for food portion + price + value + taste. I normally cook my own curry but opted to buy tonight. My bro-in-law bought from here last week and I got to taste it and I loved all the veggies they put. So I decided to take a break from cooking and ordered take out. Ordered Beef Basil + Red Chicken Curry. When I say the portion was big, these 2 Ala carte orders was enough to feed 4 adults and 1 teen. I cooked rice so that's why we ordered the Ala carte orders. Wait time was really long though. Lady said 15 mins when I called in but when I got there I waited another 15mins. That's what I get for rushing there. The food was great and so tasteful. Loved the bamboo and bell peppers and eggplants in the curry and Beef Basil. Shop was small hole in the wall place but perfect for take out. Not much parking and it's really tight in front of the shop but o think there's parking in back. Definitely a must try if you're craving Thai curry or Beef Basil. I have yet to try the other dishes. Place is busy with online and phone in orders so I'm sure the other menu items are great. read more

Bangkok Chef used to be my favorite growing up. Everyone who works there is extra nice and knows what they're talking about. The food is decent, but seems like smaller more "doctor recommended" portions. Healthy for my gut, but not healthy for my appetite. There's fresh basil and vegetables plus the usual options. I always tend to get the Pad Thai and the Pad See Ew. I chose tofu as one protein and pork for the other. The Pad Thai was with tofu. I added sriracha, but it was a bit plain to me. The Pad See Ew had the fried basil flavor and that's what really made it great. But boy was it greasy. Both felt extra greasy. I recommend this place if you're looking for an alternative to fast food and you're like me and can eat noodles all day every day. Call ahead if you go and you'll save a lot of time. My order was estimated to take 20 minutes for take out. It came out on time and in sturdy to go containers. read more

Ordered beef panang. Charged extra $1.50 for it. Granted it was 730 pm when I placed the order on the phone for pick up. But no excuse to give me pork instead. I dont eat pork. It was closing by the time I drove off. But the attendant watched me leave with smirk on his face as of to see if I'd notice how I'd been cheated. After not even looking me in the face to say thank you or receive my thankyou for the order. Super sketch. Never again. read more

We got take out from this place. There is limited parking both in front and back. I had to call three times to place a takeout order on a weekday afternoon. When I got there, the lady was just cleaning and ignored us until another phone order came in. There was nobody else at the restaurant. The takeout would be ready in 15 minutes. We got yellow curry, red curry, and pad thai. They were all good, but nothing too special. If you cannot handle the spice, make sure to order something mild or less spicy. read more

Same as others that had poor service and mediocre food. Waited long time for food while phone orders are cooked first. Pad Thai was too sweet and chicken too dry. read more

I've lived in the area for almost 5 year now and only in the last month have I been turnt on this place! Yes, it's a chain, and it's nothing fancy, but for quick, consistent, convenient Thai food close by, this is the spot. I often call ahead and order a green curry, with sticky rice, and subsitute tofu. It's about $12 for the entree and can be two portions. Curry is really tasty and it's always hot and fresh. Do check that you get the sticky rice though, since my boyfriend has many times driven off and not gotten sticky rice. I've also ordered through DoorDash when I was pretty ill and couldn't make it out of my apartment (negative on COVID!) and the prices might be just slightly more expensive, but not much more. You know how some places increase the dish price (and on top of delivery plus fee plus tip, now your order has about a 30% surcharge), and Bangkok Chef does not. I've tried the coconut/ube dessert, the papaya salad and the pad kee mao. I would say that the curries are best...all of these were very average. Parking is a little weird if you park in front, you can actually drive up the side walk and park right in front of the open door. However, the ramp actually leads behind the building to a parking lot, which you can also access by making a right turn on Hi'aloa. read more

Haven't been to Bangkok Chef in a while. Usually frequent this location and they never disappoint. It's best to call in your order if you are doing take out. If you go during peak lunch hour, parking may be difficult. I suggest going before the lunch crowd rush (if you are getting lunch). I got the ginger chicken with jasmine rice and some summer rolls. The ginger chicken is stir fried with sliced ginger and green beans. Pairs well with the jasmine rice. They both were yummy and satisfied my cravings. read more

Always my go-to favorite since it's so close to home. We order takeout here probably once a week!

The most flavorless mediocre Thai food place you can find. The service is what's good. It's just every time I come here it seems to lack that authentic Thai flavor your would find in more fine dining restaurants. Well I guess if you could put them in the Asian fast food category that's where they would be and deservingly so. They're the McDonald's of Thai restaurants without the rewards and deals programs. read more

I've never been to Thailand but coming to this restaurant made me feel like I was in Thailand! Order at the cashier and have a seat in this open restaurant. We came when it was empty and found prime parking in the front. We asked to get all of our dishes spicy but I think they forgot because none of it tasted spicy. I never knew what Thai Spicy was till my hubby told me and that was the spiciest food I've ever had! Literally hurting while I'm eating! Larb was so flavorful with the right amount of basil. I always feel so healthy eating Thai food. Who knew eating the cabbage with the larb tasted so damn good? Crunchiness wrap that is so addicting! I larb it! (See that? Added a little Spider-Man Aunt May line!) This place will be my go to Thai spot! They also use Bite squad, too, so if you're too lazy to go out, eat in! read more

Every time when I am craving Thai foods, Bangkok Chef is the place my friends and I would go to that is both tasty and convenient. We would always order spring rolls (6 pcs), fried chicken wings (Ala Carte: no rice), and Thai green curry with beef (Ala Carte: no rice). Spring rolls: I tried many spring rolls from different Thai restaurants and I have to say that this was one of the best spring rolls I have tried. It was crispy and hot inside out. The ground chicken was also quite flavorful and seasoned very well. Fried chicken wings: It was crispy but a little bland. Their house special sauce, which I think is just sweet and sour sauce, helps add flavor to the chicken. Thai green curry with beef: The portion was big enough to feed three people and there was still some left over. The curry was on the watery side, but the taste and the ingredients in the curry were plentiful and good. Overall, this place serves pretty good Thai food at a reasonable price. The portion was large enough to save as leftovers for the next day. We usually take out our orders and the service was always quick, within 10 to 15 minutes wait time. read more

I ordered the yellow chicken curry with sticky rice and an order of summer rolls. I like the summer rolls from here. The wrap is very sturdy unlike most other places you order from. The summer roll is nicely filled and the sauce is flavorful. The curry flavor is a little bit on the milder side, but a little spicy which I kinda didn't mind. I will most likely be back here again. read more

This review is specifically for the middle aged skinny man with a long pony tail and black glasses. His attitude and customer service is unacceptably horrible. All I did was pick up an online order, he looked me in the eye, pushed the bag towards me, grabbed a drink from the back and literally tossed the straw on the counter in front of me. Fix your attitude when serving your customers because that was totally unnecessary and out of pocket read more

What happened? The food here was so delish. Not anymore. The order taker was sitting in the corner, on his phone. A customer had to tell me where he was so I could get my order in. The atmosphere was very flat. Looked like they haven't taken care of the decor since COVID. read more

OK, hear me out on this one. This was absolutely one of my favorite spots when I was living on the island 10 years ago. The folks here are extremely nice. The atmosphere is actually quiet and most of all the food is absolutely second to none. After eating at this place for over 20 years, there's really no place like it. Definitely one of the top Thai places you can go to. Just don't let the parking situation scare you away. Parking is quite tight. But once you get past that, I promise you will have one of the best comfort meals ever.!! read more

Quick service, ono food, simple and delicious! I love the panang curry, fried chicken wings, spring rolls, summer rolls, pad tai, and the variety of desserts. The Eggplant is also good and - it's all good! read more

First time trying summer rolls with their peanut sauce. I was hesitant about a peanut sauce but I loved it.

Tasty and fresh summer rolls are never a miss here. Friendly and prompt service (due to my food order and time of order). From past experience,recommend phoning your order beforehand for ease at pick up. read more

My go to place.for great Thai food in Hawaii! Especially love the chicken with eggplants and chicken larb - curries are great too.

Food is good here but the service is incredibly slow today. Lady was taking phone orders the first 10 mins I was here and the food still hasn't come out almost half ann hour later. This place is usually packed so with the smaller crrowd you'd think service and food would be faster. People also sign with tthe same pen without it being cleaned inbetween uses. Wait til the pandemic is over to come again. read more

I've been coming to Bangkok chef ever since I was a kid and the food is always consistent! I love coming here for take out! Highly recommend placing a phone order prior to coming since they don't have the best parking spots. I always grab their Thai green curry and pad Thai! I recently tried their Thai coffee and it was super good! It had a nice sweetness and the sugar wasn't super overpowering. It was a nice pick me up :) The green curry is always so fragrant and herbaceous. I've tried a lot of green curries but here is my favorite. Don't forget to get some sticky rice too! Their sticky rice just pairs so well with the green curry!! The pad thai is always good! If you're just looking for a yummy pad thai for take out, this is a safe choice! read more

I work up the street from this joint and order lunch often when the office is craving Thai. Food is always great. My favorite noodle option is pad si yu with shrimp. An office favorite is the basil chicken and spring rolls. The do they're best to follow COVID guidelines, I mean they have tables in front of the register to ensure that there is enough distance away from themself and the customer. Parking sucks because they share the lot with the laundromat. I would suggest parking near wal greens and walking up. Great take out place for Thai. read more

Really liked the summer roll and papaya salads! It's a very easy drive through place with more parking in the back.

As always, the same great food here, food is always cooked the same, great flavors and textures. Customer service is still good as usual. Can't say like it's mom's cooking because all Thai people cook differently, but it's sure close to it, can taste the love put into it!! read more
