If you like Thai peanut sauce, order their Pad Peanut. We order Pad Peanut and Pad Thai... then take them home and mix them together in a big bowl and serve. Very yummy. read more

Truly a hole-in-the-wall in a little shopping center on the side of the road, but the food is excellent. The best vegetarian food I've had in the area (they don't use fish sauce and the veggies taste super fresh), and the service was quick. They only have to-go food, but there are some little picnic tables next door where you can eat. The best thing we got was the Prik King with Tofu. It was flavorful without being too spicy. Lots of lime leaves and yummy veggies read more

Junjira Fresh Thai Kitchen - Prik King with Tofu - delicious - Thai Near Me - Captain Cook, Hawaii

Yay for junjira!! i definitely can back up their claim to "fresh" in their name. no indoor seating but choke outdoor! smaller establishment located on the first level parking lot below ACE and choicemart. the outdoor seating is open and nice but i usually grab a togo. they were a bit 'hit or miss' during the peak of covid/tentative reopening for food joints. but man have they got it together now! pleasant service, although it's not super duper quick, it IS quality and ya bet your booty i'll wait around a few extra mins for that. so many veggies in my tom yum, again let me emphasize FRESH. my lemongrass was superb and the broth was excellent. tip: get a side of rice or noodles. my friend had the chicken pad thai and said it was the best he's had. i'll definitely be trying it next time. bottom line- fresh, good service and a little hidden gem for us south residents craving some different spicy flavors :) thanks junjira!! read more

I really enjoyed the food here. Tasted very fresh, and the sauces were delightful. The fresh salad rolls and Pad Thai were great.

Great place primarily for takeout. Best to call about 15-20 minutes in advance to pick up some fresh goodness. They also use compostable containers which is much appreciated! read more

Hidden plsce. Great food. Try the Kee Mow. It's to die for. The pad that is also delicious.

A small take out restaurant that has great Thai food in Kona. Located below Choice Market. We had delicious steamed fish with ginger and yellow curry. Recommended to us by the owner of a local B&an. read more

A favorite stop to satify my frequent Thai food craving...always friendly, fast service, fresh & tasty dishes, excellent prices, and orders are prepared to all specifications. Highly recommended!!! read more

Somewhere between 3-4 stars but I'm feeling generous. Junjira Fresh Thai Kitchen is solid Thai food that hits the spot after traveling up and down the Kona coast. A mom-and-pop restaurant that makes your plate fresh to order, with high-quality ingredients and with LOVE. My husband's pad Thai was incredibly flavorful and fresh - whatever sauce/seasoning used made this for some of the most scrumptious pad Thai I've ever tasted. My pad see ew was good, but not quite on the same level as the pad Thai and perhaps a little more bland than typical pad see ew. They had many other delectable options for main dishes, including curries and other noodle dishes. Service was pleasant and friendly, and prices were relatively decent for the area, although portion sizes weren't particularly large. Their sodas are also $1 a can, which was a nice change from this $2-$4 business we'd been seeing at other establishments. Strangely, the lettuce wraps were just that - no shrimp or tofu, which we were surprised by. The peanut sauce that came with them was crazy good, but would skip on the wraps and save yourself six bucks. All in all, a wonderful place for a quick and not too expensive bite if you're traveling up and down the Kona coast. read more

We had the best green curry and steamed fish... delicious, cooked to the perfection with fresh ingredients.

The papaya salad I had was tasteless and cardboard-like. It was very difficult to eat. Do not come here! The two there (man and woman) were extremely difficult to deal with and senseless when the food was truly bad. They refused to address things properly and instead yelled at me and were contentious. The amount of disrespect was shocking to encounter. They lost a customer and they clearly did not care. After having to go through the whole ordeal, I would not trust them to make me another meal and strongly do not recommend Junjira. Save yourself the trouble and do not bother. The food is truly deficient (I am saying this as an experienced Thai-food lover), but worst of all is the way they treat their unsatisfied customers. read more

I am going through my check ins, and I can't believe I haven't left a review for Junjiras yet. We eat here quite often, and we enjoy everything about it. The owners are really nice, and everyone is always super friendly when you go in. It is a small walk in place you go to order and take the food out. You can take it outside, where there are chairs to eat- or you can take it home. We love close, so always take it home. The food is always made to order, so please don't go as expect to be in and out in 5 minutes. An order of 2 dishes will take about 10-15 min. I like to call in my order and pick it up. Everything we have eaten here has been good, there's nothing I can say to stay away from. It seems Thai is the new sushi in Kona, as there are no less than a dozen Thai restaurants here. Some are good, some not as much. Junjira is up there, and even better because it's only a 3 minute drive from home. We are lucky to have such a good place up mauka, and not be forced to drive all the way to town for good Thai food. read more

Just got to the island and needed some food. It was busy and had to wait a bit, but the food was fresh and delicious. Tasted as if most of it is made from scratch. We were able to eat outside. Would put it on our list for a repeat visit. read more

Excellent! Good food for a decent price. Will go back again. Got a basil eggplant with tofu and brown rice. It was good. Two scoops of rice. Two meals for $26 read more

Only got takeout here but it was delicious. Love supporting local businesses when passing through town.

I ordered a to go order for just me today. I don't usually write reviews but I felt this one was needed. This Thai place is next to the Choice Mart in Captain Cook. It's not really a sit down type of experience even if I wanted to sit down. I was shocked when the lady ringing me up said $51. I paid it and went home and truly hoped they would hit a home run. They Did NOT! The spring rolls tasted bland and cooked in old oil. The chicken satay was cold. It looked like it had been microwaved. The peanut sauce was ok but they barely put enough to enjoy. I was hoping to love this place since I live in the area:-( read more

Junjira Fresh Thai Kitchen - Receipt - Thai Near Me - Captain Cook, Hawaii

Family owned and operated. Order at counter, then minimal seating outside in strip mall walkways by parking lot. Good prices. Loved my chicken noodle soup, with thin slices of chicken and asian noodles. Did not like the veggie rolls because they were mostly filled with iceberg lettuce. The rolls should be offered with shrimp, as well. They offer fresh Thai iced tea, but all other drinks in bottle (sodas, fruit drinks, and Honest iced tea). I wish they had brewed iced tea, but the tea for the Thai iced tea was pre-sweetened. Since I was the only customer, they could have brought me my meal vice calling out my order. I guess no waiter service at all. Slight language difficulty ordering, and credit card payment by Square worked after a couple attempts. No complaint about credit card, which was nice. Worth a try, as the food looked pretty good for a reasonable price. read more

Super yummy takeout spot with patio seating. You can make pretty much any dish vegetarian which I particularly appreciated!! I got the Pad-Thai with veggies + tofu which had amazing flavor & loads of veggies! read more

Really sweet couple run this very small take-out only restaurant in the Choicemart center. The food was fine, nothing memorable, but adequate. Prices were affordable. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but if I was craving Thai food I would try them again. read more

The owner was so friendly, most amazing food, fragrant with real lemon grass and gangal roots. We eat it a lot of thai in california, and this was amazing. Must stop on the way back from green sand beach. read more

Junjira is the best thai food on the entire island!!!!!! Very friendly staff and the food is delicious! Must come here!!

This place definitely doesn't look like much from the outside, but the noodle dishes are very tasty with fresh vegetables and herbs. The #22 Massaman curry was good too with lots of peanuts in the sauce. We get take out here at least once a month. It is nice to have a Thai place down south. read more

Small place, own by Thai family. Great Thai food, good price. I highly recommend this to everyone. read more

Not only was the food really mediocre but we were both still quite hungry afterwards. The portions were too small. I would definitely not go here again. read more

We ordered quite a lot of food and it was all yummy. This is not a sit down restaurant which came as a surprise. But in all, we were happy to eat it in the comforts of our vacation rental. We enjoyed Pad Thai, Pad se Ew, Panang curry, Red curry, Basil Fried Rice, and Tom Kha soup. It was a little on the hot side, but I am sure it could be toned down. They are vegetarian friendly and polite, which came as relief as most Thai restaurants use fish sauce in their veg. dishes. We loved it and so did our teens. They accept credit cards and send a receipt through email. read more

So good. To bad there is only 1 on earthffjdjfjdpfpfdksjcert and the only thing I have to turn is it to be the one that we are going on with and the next time you get a message for the next time we get to our table please thanks again to the time you get here next year you are welcome thanks thanks so I'll see what I have for thanks and love thanks for letting us know thanks again and thanks again for the update I appreciate your feedback from read more

The Pad Thai was great, no skimp on the shrimp, wife ordered a curry and loved every bite of it. Would Recommend ...

I've tried a few stir fry dishes and noodle dishes and really like the food here. Everything tastes so fresh and the wait isn't that long. I normally place my order then head upstairs to grab a drink at Choice Mart (mostly to kill time). By the time I come back downstairs my food is ready or at least almost ready. If I'm in a rush, I call ahead. Friendly staff. read more

This place is exactly what my husband and I craved after touring the volcanos. We were Hungry with the capital "H", and the veggie/tofu pad thai hit the spot. No sauces needed, as everything was perfect. Get the spring rolls too! read more

Very good. Very slow. Very timid and soft spoken young man at the register. Just a few improvement in customer service will put this in a solid five star category. read more

This restaurant prides themselves on taking their time so I'm always prepared to wait a little bit for my food, I've also never seen it very busy so I've never had to wait that long. I ordered the green chicken curry with jasmine rice - spicy. The flavor is really nice and smooth and the spice level is tolerable not too crazy like some places. Here they do not have you pick a number (of spicyness) it just spicy or not spicy. The bamboo shoots and mushrooms are nice to have in the curry along with the chicken and what I love is that they use kaffir lime leaves which is the traditional way to flavor this dish. Overall it would be nice to have more vegetables in the dish and chicken for that matter but the flavor makes up for it. The rice is fluffy and fresh every time. The portion was just enough to split in half and have a snack the next day. A styrofoam cup size. One of the downsides is that being a window service restaurant they do not have plate etc. all of the containers dishes are made to go so it seems wasteful. If you want to eat there they have outdoor seating. read more

The label mild here is still too spicy for me. They close often so availability is unpredictable. Summer rolls weren't freshly made as parts of the rice paper wrapper were hard. I prefer Ka Le in Oceanview or a drive to Kona. read more

Good, solid Thai food at great prices for the area (comparable to WA state). Service was friendly, the only drawback, it's not very inviting to eat there, basically outdoors of a grocery store, so best to purchase as takeout. read more

Fantastic food. Warm, friendly service and ownership. Everything seems to be cooked fresh to order. What a great find!

Mom and pop Thai food. Love this little place. They have really nice seating overlooking Kona Theater/ocean upstairs from their shop. I really like their Penang and papaya salad. Great low key place to relax for lunch. Veggies were garden fresh. I think she grows her own produce. read more

This place has delicious pad Thai and spring rolls. This place is better than most Thai restaurants in Kailua Kona. The prices are also reasonable. Nice place to have dinner, lots of dinning space up stairs to watch the sunset. read more

Stumbled on this location after a few hours of hiking. Affordable and good quality Thai food. Make sure to ask for it spicy or it is made to suit a mild American palate. read more

The worst Thai food ever, bland, vegetables in my soup were the trash they wouldn't put in the stir fries! Pad Thai with no flavor, noodles stuck together! This place used to be OK given that it's convenient in south Kona but my lunch yesterday was inexcusable, yuk! I'll never come bac read more
