    Yup we're here... Finding ourselves at Salt Lake Shopping Center for dinner at Pad Thai where it's located along with a few other biz lined up right beside Safeway. Walking in the places very tiny though nice and clean and do manage to have several tables that did fill up quite fast and with that there's no restroom which you need to go to the mall provided one definitely takes a star away for me though the convenience of ample free parking is always nice. We did order the usual preferred dishes of Pad Si Eiw, Yellow Curry with sticky rice and Pad Kra Pao (I could be mistaken with the spelling) okay did I enjoy it...yes though I'm more of an americanized palate but do love Thai basil and the flavorful spices that makes it unique though somehow it just fell short for me visual for me as raw cabbage and carrots as a garnish or accompaniment felt like an afterthought. The vibe is very busy with many taking advantage of their take out is nice to see but it didn't impress me much sadly but love the time spent with friends, thank you Nadine and Peter. Thank you!

    Sweet sour stir fry with pork, eggplant basil, mild papaya salad

    The sweet sour stir fry with pork, eggplant basil, and papaya salad were scrumptious! Both ladies in the front were so attentive with water refills and checked on us to make sure everything was good. I am impressed with the freshly, piping hot cooked dishes served with a smile. Definitely my new favorite Thai restaurant!

    Dinner at Salt Lake Shopping Center in Honolulu, Hawaii... Looking for a restaurant that Irene M. and I haven't visited yet is challenging. We wanted to select Thai cuisine because it's Peter Y.'s favorite. Peter said he had been to Pad Thai in the past and he had liked it. We wondered how long ago his experience had taken place because there was room for improvement... We appreciated the free shared parking. It was tight because - after work, people tend to want to go grocery shopping at Safeway; go to the credit union; grab some dinner; have dessert; Etc. Yes... it was a busy time. We didn't have a reservation, but got seated before the crowd arrived. It was a good thing that Peter warned me about the restroom... it's "far away" - by Safeway - and up the stairs. I got the key from one of the workers and headed across the way. It was spooky because a guy was coming up the stairs behind me. I entered the gated area quickly and shut the door behind me immediately! I went to the last stall and let out a scream because there was a woman in there! She hadn't locked the door! OMG! Outside of the restaurant, some sketchy people were hanging around. There was an undernourished gal who was talking to herself while a guy was trying to pick her up... like in a flirting way... LOL! Cringe! Inside the cozy restaurant, we ordered Pad see ew, Pad kra pao, and yellow curry with sticky rice. The food seemed a bit Americanized because - for example - the Pad see ew had celery and baby corn in it! The yellow curry was almost bland and the sauce was liquidy... The Pad kra pow was missing a fried egg on the top and a bed of rice on the bottom. Instead, it had bell peppers and bamboo shoots mixed in... LOL! I'm glad we got a chance to try this place together. It might be a rare one and done visit... Thanks to Irene and Peter for the very interesting conversation and super great company!

    Spicy Pad Thai with chicken! It was spicy and I loved it

    I love the Pad Thai with chicken (Thai hot). I told my coworker it's worth trying and she enjoyed it too

    We're staying in a hotel off Nimitz and wanted Thai food that wasn't too far away and inexpensive. We found Pad Thai, ordered online, and it was ready in 15 mins. Inside was tiny, I didn't look around too much to see the appeal inside, but they promptly handed me my order when I walked in and said I'm here for a to go order! The food was piping hot, definitely fresh and made to order. My mom got the 33. Tom Yum Soup (Medium Spicy) and it said it came with shrimp. It didn't come with shrimp, it came with chicken, so she was disappointed. They should update their menu online!but the broth was hot, tasted great, and the soup was loaded with mushrooms and chicken. I had the pad Thai. I wanted it spicy but it wasn't so I added my own hot sauce at home. It was good. Both the soup and pad Thai portions were huge and we have enough for a second meal. I also opted to try the mango sticky rice. It wasn't too bad either. The rice was just a big ball soaking in coconut milk, and the mango was sweet but brown in some spots. Overall not a bad dinner, I'd just change a few things.

    #26 Pad Raumit with tofu. Tofu went really well with this dish.

    Good Thai food! Good for value. Cooks fast. Ordered #21 Fried long rice w/ beef & 26 Pad raumit w/tofu for 2 of us and shared. Rice is not included in the order. It was delicious. I prefer the broccoli to be more cooked in the Pad raumit, it was half cooked so it was still crunchy but that's just my preference. The tofu was good, I am not vegetarian but I like vegetables and it had lots of different varieties in this stir fry, went really well with tofu. Long rice was well cooked and flavored. My partner liked spicy so he added the chili oil from the jar on the table and be said it was great! Service was quick and nice, no strange vibes from staff. Lots of vegetable dishes here.

    Take out order of Shrimp Pad Thai (8/2025)
    Shannon S.

    OVERALL 4.5/5 PARKING: Free in the shopping center parking lot AMBIANCE: Feels very mom n pop, about 7-8 tables inside, when I came nearly all the tables were full, weekday at 5pm. FOOD: I wanted quick take out, so I called in a quick order of shrimp pad thai and also an order of spring rolls, which are basically egg rolls. It was ready in 15 minutes. The shrimp pad thai had 6 good sized shrimp and a small container of chopped peanuts. The spring rolls had a few slices of cucumber, and some lettuce to wrap the egg rolls up in, along with a clear dipping sauce. Big fan of those spring rolls!

    Calamari with extra goodness sauce  Yummy, a must order
    Vina P.

    Ordered pad thai, tom yum soup, eggplant, calamari, panang, and papaya salad. Friendly and fast service. Awesome and authentic food. Pros- reasonably priced, friendly and fast service, clean and spacious restaurant Cons- none

    Stuffed chicken wings
    Brennan H.

    One of my favorite thai food places on island! Dined in this time. Server came super quick. Brought water and took order. Food came out quickly. Chicken sateh was amazing. Chicken was juicy and flavorful. I enjoyed the peanut butter sauce and the coconut sauce on top - yum! The green curry was good. I just wish it was a little thicker as it was a little runny and soupy, but the flavor was definitely there. The rad nah is my absolute favorite! So flavorful and delicious with yummy noodles. I'll be back again! Parking: Lots of parking in the shopping center

    Sweet and sour tofu stir fry
    Tina R.

    My my my...I am smiling as I write this review because my food came out in just 5 minutes. I'm not talking one dish, I'm talking all 4 orders lol. These folks stand on business. The service is fast but that doesn't mean the food is bad either. The vibe there was very casual. The tables are all pretty close together so it can feel crowded. Logistics: Parking - Free. Right in front of restaurant. Prices - CHEAPER than most places we've been to that serve similar options. Portions - Generous, you won't leave hungry at all. Worth it? Yeah I would come back. If you're in the area and want something fast because you gotta get somewhere...this is the spot.

    Extra charge for take home container
    Vince I.

    Ordered the classic Pad Thai and fresh summer rolls for a quick lunch craving, and this spot delivered authentic Thai balance without the tourist traps. The Pad Thai shone with wok-charred rice noodles that absorbed every bit of the tamarind-fish sauce glory--tangy sour up front, subtle palm sugar sweetness, and umami depth that wasn't drowned in sweetness like some watered-down versions. Loaded with crunchy bean sprouts, scrambled egg bits, tender shrimp or chicken, and those little preserved radish pops for complexity, plus a generous peanut crunch on top. Not saucy or heavy; it left that satisfied, fresh-afterglow feeling with a lime squeeze elevating the whole thing. Summer rolls were a crisp, refreshing counterpoint--rice paper wrappers hugging julienned cukes, carrots, vermicelli, lettuce, and herbs without sogginess or excess dipping sauce needed. Light shrimp inside peeked through beautifully, adding sweet brininess that paired perfectly pre-Pad Thai. No heavy frying; just clean, vibrant textures that screamed freshness

The beautiful outdoor…read moreseating with koi ponds, umbrellas, and string lights creates a peaceful atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the meal. If you're looking for authentic Lao food, this place definitely delivers. We ordered the Soop Noor Mai (bamboo shoot salad), Lao-style Som Tum, Beef Red Curry with jasmine rice, and Seen Haeng (beef jerky). The standout dish for me was the Soop Noor Mai. It was unlike anything I've had before, with an earthy, herbaceous flavor and plenty of texture from the shredded bamboo shoots, toasted rice powder, fresh herbs, and greens. Every bite had something different going on, making it both interesting and deeply satisfying. The Lao-style papaya salad was fresh, vibrant, and packed with bold flavors. The beef red curry was rich, creamy, and fragrant with tender beef that paired perfectly with the jasmine rice. The only dish that missed the mark for me was the Seen Haeng. While the flavor was good, the beef was cooked a little too long and ended up drier than I prefer. I personally like Lao beef jerky with a bit more tenderness and chew. Everything else was excellent, and the relaxing garden setting made the experience even better. If you're craving authentic Lao cuisine in Honolulu, Olay's is well worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu.

Overall it was a good experience but I would like to try other things like their sticky rice and curry.

And might I note, this review is coming from someone of Thai ethnicity, who grew up eating home cooked Thai food, knows how to cook Thai food, and visits Thailand very frequently. When I first dined in this restaurant they had just opened about 5-6 years ago and to be honest, I was disappointed with the food that I ordered. However, at the time I assumed it may have been attributed to the fact that they had just opened so they may have been just getting their footing and figuring things out. I'm so glad I gave this place another try again years later because everything was SO delicious and very authentic tasting. As someone who grew up eating home cooked Thai food, I personally dread going to a Thai restaurant and discovering that they over sweeten dishes or add ingredients that aren't typically found in an authentic Thai dish. This place does everything right! I came during lunch around 11:00am and while the seating is limited, the staff was very attentive. I ordered pad kee mao (drunken noodle), kratiew leauy (boat noodle soup), som tum (papaya salad - Laos style), and pad krapow. The stars of the show were definitely the boat noodle soup and the drunken noodle. The drunken noodles were cooked to perfection, tasty, and had that smokey, charred, wok flavor which made the dish stand out. The boat noodle soup had so much depth and flavor - the best on island, hands down. The papaya salad (Laos style) had that tangy, salty, sweet, crunchy, funky, and spicy flavor that reminds me of my mom or grandma's papaya salad. I can't wait to eat here again when I'm craving a great Thai meal!

This, however, will probably be my first and last visit. The place is cute enough, with a large back garden area where I chose to dine. Service was also great. I appreciate the little button at the table that I could click for service. The food, however, was mediocre at best. My friend and I ordered the pad Thai with tofu, ginger chicken, chicken satay, and pork larb. The pad Thai was the best dish, but it was very tomatoey, which I did not expect. The chicken with ginger had very little chicken. It was mostly julienned vegetables, including celery which I do not care for. The chicken satay was kinda dry and most certainly needed the peanut sauce to make it palatable. The larb was very dry with very bland flavor, served on one lettuce leaf and a wedge of cabbage. How am I supposed to eat that? All of it was quite disappointing, especially for the price point. As I was eating this meal I remembered the Thai food truck at the end of Ward, where Fisherman's Pier used to be. Now THAT was some good Thai food. I guess that was the best thing about this meal-remembering where I could get really good Thai food-so that the next time I'm having a craving, I can go back over there...I hope it's still there.

It's on the smaller side, but the tables are spaced comfortably enough that you don't feel cramped. The menu is also extensive, with just about every popular Thai dish you could think of. Service was one of the highlights. The staff was attentive, friendly, and quick throughout the meal. Our Thai tea arrived almost immediately. I'm talking within a minute of ordering. It's definitely on the stronger side with less milk than most Thai teas, allowing the tea flavor to really shine through. It leans a bit sweeter than average, but the sweetness was balanced, and you could genuinely taste the freshly steeped tea leaves. The Thai boat noodles are what this restaurant is known for, so they were a must-order. Since it was my first time trying boat noodles, I figured this was the best place to experience them. I can definitely see why they're a customer favorite and would recommend ordering them if it's your first visit. The beef pad see ew surprised me. It was sweeter than most versions I've had, but it really worked. The noodles were cooked perfectly with great texture. My only complaint was the beef. It was a bit chewy and didn't match the quality of the noodles. The seafood tom yum was the biggest letdown. The broth itself was flavorful, but the seafood selection felt like a frozen mix rather than fresh ingredients. The mussels were already removed from their shells, the squid was chewy, and the soup included canned mushrooms instead of fresh ones, along with fish cakes and fish balls. It lacked the freshness I was hoping for. Overall, I left feeling that the proteins were the weakest part of the meal. The flavors, service, and atmosphere were all enjoyable, but the quality of the meat and seafood didn't quite stand out. That said, it's still a solid Thai restaurant, especially considering the options in Hawaii. Would I come back? I'm on the fence, but probably not

    It was getting a little late on a Sunday night... and by "late," I mean about 8:00 p.m.--which, for…read moreus old folks, is 10:30 p.m. in old people time. We couldn't decide what to eat until my wife finally said, "Let's go get Thai food at that place my sister and I tried about a month ago." I responded with a "K we go." I figured they were probably getting ready to close, but we lucked out, Siam Garden Café is now open until 10:00 p.m. on Sundays! Awwwwwriiite...!. Since it was later in the evening, there were only a few tables filled, so we were seated right away and had plenty of time to check out the menu. My wife already knew exactly what she wanted--the Thai Beef Salad. I had my eye on the Thai Fried Chicken, and we added an order of Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles). We requested it mild spicy--and definitely not Thai spicy, because we know better! There were a couple other things we wanted to try but we didn't want to overdo it with just the two of us. The food came out fast. First the Drunken Noodles, and wow... that was ono. The thick, chewy noodles reminded me a little of a chow/look fun, tossed in a a sauce with tender beef. Every bite was packed with flavor. Next came the Thai Beef Salad and the Thai Fried Chicken. The salad had that classic tangy dressing with vinegar and fish sauce that paired perfectly with the beef. If I had one small kine suggestion, it would be to add just a little more beef, but the flavors were on point. The fried chicken was cooked to crispy perfection--lightly seasoned so you could actually taste the chicken. Dipped into the Thai sweet chili sauce,you know the one, it was the perfect combination of crunchy, savory, and sweet. Even though we were pretty full, there was no way we were not going to order dessert. We shared the Mango Sticky Rice, which was the perfect sweet and tart ending to a great meal. Last but not least, one Thai iced coffee to go. Yeah it's late but wanted to stay up and binge watch a couple of episodes of a K-drama, don't judge. Overall, Siam Garden Café delivered. Great food, friendly service, quick turnaround, and now with later Sunday hours, it's an even better option when those late-night Thai cravings hit. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the rest of the menu.

    After a recent visit to Siam Garden Cafe, I thought I would post a brief update/review:…read more I ventured to SGC with my mom, brother, and SIL last month for lunch (on a Saturday, no less). We arrived shortly before 11:30am, and thankfully we were seated immediately (in a booth!) as there was only 1 group dining (this would be the antithesis when we departed as the restaurant was packed after 12:00pm). We got settled in our booth and looked over the menu. Collectively, we ordered/shared: Spicy Eggplant Pad Thai with shrimp Papaya Salad Siam Jungle Curry with chicken Steamed Fish with Soy Sauce I honestly couldn't decide which dish was my favourite, as I thought they were all a generous portion and flavorful. My mom complimented the eggplant and steamed fish repeatedly, and while I also favoured the eggplant, I found myself gravitating to the curry throughout the meal. My SIL also liked the fish and eggplant, while my brother had many good things to say about the pad Thai. We did take some leftovers home, and as we packed up the food I wondered to myself why I hadn't returned to SGC sooner. SERVICE The staff friendly, patient, and very polite. BOTTOM LINE We will certainly be back.
