    Good food, small place but cozy. Only saw one lady doing everything. She was very lovely and sweet.

    Pad See Ew w/gai (chicken) - chili peppers in soy & fish sauce condiment in back
    Peter Y.

    It's been a couple years since I last have been here. I brought my friend Ben here. To me, this place is more of a plate lunch place rather than a family style dish sharing meal venue. In other words, when I dine here, I usually am alone, but if I come with someone else, I don't want to share my food. Ben ordered yellow chicken curry. I ordered the pad gra pow, my go-to one dish meal. Same same, but different. The pad gra pow had less basil and a lot of ground pork. It also had onions, bell peppers (both green and red), carrots, bamboo shoots, and beans. I prefer fewer veggies in my pad gra pow, but most of the above items were sparsely used so it was good. The taste is slightly different since different cooks use similar ingredients but vary the amount of flavorings. I can only comment on the pad gra pao since that is the only dish I have ever eaten here, but have eaten it more than a dozen times over the years. It's good.

    Ambiance - don't expect too much because it's really a hole in wall kind of spot and I LOVE it. Feels like i'm dining in someone's house. It's on the corner of the street and if you get lucky, there's parking in front. If not, there's plenty of street parking or in Don Quijote. Food - soooo tasty and flavorful. Beware, Laotian spice level is REALLY SPICY. I like some heat but I can only take on mild. But my friends that loves spicy food says that their spice is something you can enjoy and eat a lot of. We got the eggplant stir fry in mild and pad thai in medium spice (I couldn't handle this medium but my boyfriend LOVED it) Service - we didn't dine in this time but cashier was super nice!

    Panang Curry
    Michael Y.

    One person working but friendly and prompt service. Panang curry was tasty. I will return to try other dishes.

    Thai beef pho

    Good papaya salad. Taste as good as back home(Bay Area) if you miss home food. Just not spicy.Beef soup is not bad as well. Boat noodle was a little too bloody. But overall food was good.

    $17 way too spicy but good flavor
    Matt H.

    The drunken noodles were extremely hot. I can eat spicy food but this I couldn't even eat. Was not asked spice level upon ordering. The flavor was good but I couldn't taste anything after a few bites. The yellow curry was extremely fishy. All I could taste was very salty fish sauce. It was very watery. Not a lot of vegetables. Just some cabbage bits and carrots. The service was great! The woman offered hot sauce that was tasty. Two dishes was about $35. Lately, I had a terrible stomach ache the next morning. Would not return.

    The restaurant is very simple not much decoration. It may not be fancy but don't judge the book by its cover. Let me tell you, the food is awesome!!! Today I ordered Somtum Plara, it was very delicious. I'm originally from Thailand and I felt like I'm eating it in Thailand. The food was very authentic. Especially if you love spicy food, this place is a must go. If you can't handle the spicy not to worry, they can adjust the spicy level accordingly to your preference. All the staffs here were very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. They were going above and beyond. Love this place. Definitely will come back if I ever come to visit Hawaii again in the future. Recommend to all who love Thai food.

    Pork green curry, deep delicious, rich flavors and textures. Get it with the sticky rice!
    Asia M.

    Incredible hole in the wall Thai and Lao restaurant. The food is complex, aromatic, delicious, and authentic. We got the crispy rice salad/lettuce wraps Nam Kao and the green curry with pork and sticky rice. So good, we are definitely coming back!

    Stuffed chicken wings
    Jensen G.

    Bro! I'm telling you... These are no joke. You better be sitting down when you eat these because you gonna get weak in the knees. Service is always good here. Go stuff your face with these stuffed chicken wings. You'll thank me later... Chee doggy!

    penang curry
    Chris W.

    Coming late out of our conference meeting, our group of 15-ish walked a block north of the convention center to find this cozy Thai joint. With our cohort quickly taking over the 3-4 tables, the friendly and welcoming owners helped us move tables and find seating for everyone before promptly passing out waters and menus. Plates began arriving not long after our orders were placed, fresh from the kitchen - here are my thoughts on what I tried: Penang curry - Nutty and sweet, this creamy curry was packed with goodies and was just thick enough to spoon over rice; definitely curious to try the other curries if this one turned out so well! Crispy rice (nam khao tod) - This generously-sized portion of crispy rice with sausage was outstanding, balancing texture with savory flavor and a hint of acidity. Get one for the table to share as an appetizer. Drunken noodles (pad ki mao) - These came out screaming hot (temperature-wise), which is always a good sign when it comes to fried noodles. We loved the tender, saucy noodles, and the shrimps were plump and delicious. Spring rolls - These guys were fried to perfection, served with ESSENTIAL accoutrements in the form of herbs, rice noodles, and tangy sauce. I was the only one wrapping them in the lettuce - more for me! Thai tea - A little bit on the sweet side for me, but a welcome respite from some of the spicier foods. We were so impressed by their hospitality and their willingness to take on such a large group. They even obliged our request to take a big group photo and do a little bit of bill splitting - even more memorable than the amazing food was just how kind and patient the staff were. If I'm ever back in Honolulu I'll definitely have to swing by Sabb for lunch or dinner!

    Papaya Salad Tray Lao Esan Sausage Sticky Rice Thai Iced Tea

    Came here because I was missing home and craving Lao food. The food was AUTHENTIC and the aunties were so nice Service was amazing. If you miss home and also Lao food this where you should go! P.S they had a birthday get together for one of the aunties daughter and didn't hesitate to include me in it, reminded me of home. Came the day before and ordered Khao Piek! My dish looks very spicy because I added pepper to MY LIKING! It comes plain and you add whatever you like after!

    Drunken Noodle

    Did not disappoint!! Food and service were awesome. We dinned early so plenty seating, and didn't have to wait long for water or menus. Food came out fast and was hot right from the cook. Food was SO GOOD. Drunken noodles were nice and fat like hand cut kine, plenty veggies and meat. Spice level was perfect. Pad Thai noodles were so chewy and flavorful-- no funk like sometimes get in pad thai. Service was excellent-- the server kept our water glasses full the whole time we were there. We will for sure be back.

    Gave me this rotten lime that I put all over and my food turned bitter. The plate cost me $20 not sure why not put a slice of good lime...

    This was such a fun dining experience. Our chef was very affable, welcoming, and he had a great…read moresense of humor. He constructed a volcano made out of onions and performed a light show, which my 6 year old twin boys enjoyed very much. I ordered the emperor A5 and it was amazingly delicious. It was cooked to my preferred temperature of medium rare. The A5 was flavorful and extremely tender. I also enjoyed the lobster tail and grilled vegetables, which consisted of onions, sprouts, and zucchini. They served the best side car I've tasted, which consisted of Hennessy and blood orange. This establishment is a must try when vacationing in Waikiki.

    We traveled to Oahu and stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village for spring break with our two boys…read more(16 and 10). They wanted Teppanyaki so we decided to try out this spot. Ambiance (FIVE stars): The ambiance of this restaurant is CLEAN and very nice. Some Teppanyaki places I have gone to just feel and smell dirty but this one has a clean and nice ambiance. Food (FIVE stars): We ordered the following My Two Boys: Got the Filet Mignon EACH and both got the side of Chicken Fried Rice (not included which was shocking) We ordered: The Chicken Jadori with Scallops and a side of fried rice for each. We shared the entree which was a good move because we were both hungry but not super hungry. Our Server (FIVE stars): Masa served us and it was good service. Our Experience (ONE star): The explanation is why I gave this place a 3 star rating and this is something that you should be aware of when you go here. This place is NOT CHEAP. Our reservation was at 8pm and we got there at a few mins before 8pm. We were seated at 8:10pm and offered drinks subsequently and we ordered our food. About 10-15 mins later we were offered salad and then NOTHING. Our chef showed up at 9:10pm!! Our kids were so hangry and I was irritated because who wants to watch a show when all they want to do is eat because one is so hungry. Our server did tell us "they were backed up" and made small talk with us for about 20 mins in the middle but this experience was HORRIBLE. I will not go here again...again, to be fair, all things equal, this place would have been GREAT if it was not for the fact that our chef came 1 hour 10 mins after we sat but folks around us on other tables that came AFTER us left BEFORE us. If you go here make sure you lock in the time of your chef coming etc especially if you are with young kids. After I complained they gave me a concession on the bill but it was not worth the aggravation especially since this place was expensive.

Despite handling over 400 reservations that evening, every staff member made us feel like we were their top priority. Special thanks to our server, Sasha, whose warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality were extraordinary. She stayed cheerful and accommodating even in the busiest moments. Our chef, Joe, was equally remarkable. Knowing my 92-year-old mother needed her food chopped very small, he took great care to ensure everything was just right, even checking in to confirm the size of her chicken pieces. Joe also treated my husband and me to a special dish with his own homemade teriyaki sauce, explaining how he crafted it. His cooking skills, humor, and lively conversation made the evening feel personal and joyful. Watching him perform his signature fire and juggling tricks while chatting about travel had my mother giggling with delight! The food was, as always, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. We enjoyed the poke (so fresh and flavorful!), soybeans with the perfect bite, shrimp, steaks, teriyaki chicken, lobster, scallops, and finished with their signature complimentary ice cream. We've been regulars at Tanaka for years, and it's clear why this restaurant continues to be one of Honolulu's treasures. My heartfelt thanks to the owner for maintaining such a consistently excellent establishment and to the entire team for their kindness, professionalism, and aloha spirit. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience filled with great food and genuine hospitality, Tanaka of Tokyo is the place to go!
