    Panang Curry
    Michael C.

    After a recent visit to Siam Garden Cafe, I thought I would post a brief update/review: 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.

    Perfect for a quick fix to get you on your way. This was a nice stop after a hectic Costco trip. Here's some logistics if you're a planner like me: Parking: Free, it's tight right in front of the restaurant and additional parking inside the garage. The vibes inside are very cozy and feels like home, just overall very special. Can accommodate large groups and a small one on one date :) Food comes out fast, takes about 10 minutes. Fairly delicious, fairly priced and then you're on your way home with your Costco groceries! The Thai tea here is very yummy. I'd recommend getting mild for any of the dishes here if you're not a fan of spicy. They're authentic so you'll feel it otherwise. Service is fast and attentive. Very straightforward. I'm giving it a 3 overall since it did the job but I've had a lot better at Brok Da Mout Thai Food. It's better than Bangkok Thai nearby that's for sure.

    My family and I have been coming here for years! This place is one of my favorites to get pho (if you're into a more sweeter tasting broth). We love the Thai tea here! The atmosphere and the service is always great. They are located on Nimitz. The parking up front is really tight and there is more parking in the garage.

    Drunken Noodles / Pad Kee Mao
    Roland G.

    It was getting a little late on a Sunday night... and by "late," I mean about 8:00 p.m.--which, for us 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.

    Seriously, I have to remember to at least have something to eat earlier in the day before coming to a place with such good food like here. We both got here starving and fell for the "hungry eyes are bigger than the stomach" trap! It was just the two of us and here's what we ordered along with a Singha beer to kick off the meal... Spring rolls Masaman curry w/chicken Stuffed chicken wings Me grob with pork Thai fried chicken We also each ordered a serving of sticky rice Everything was fantastic as usual and it would be tough to pick out a favorite. I really do love their food and my only nit might be that the sauce for the Me Grob is a touch too sweet, nothing a spoonful of one of their chili sauces doesn't help balance out though. This meal was easily enough to feed a family of 4 (and keep in mind there was a 2nd beer ordered somewhere in the middle of all the food.) If we were planning on heading home afterwards it'd be no problem boxing up the leftovers for a late night snack or breakfast but we had a ton of plans afterwards so the food would probably go bad sitting in the car. Well, we did like all kids of mothers who drilled into us the "...there are starving kids in foreign countries" mantra and pretty much ate ALL of it, I think the only thing left was a bit of sticky rice and a tiny piece of chicken. Yeah, we were uncomfortably full but our moms would've been proud.

    Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... My niece is home for a couple of weeks. She really likes Thai food, so we chose Siam Garden Cafe because of the free parking at Nimitz Center! LOL! The restaurant is located in the same strip mall as Eagle Cafe. I was here many many years ago with my high school classmate. We had stuffed chicken wings, pad Thai, green papaya salad, and summer rolls. It was a yummy meal! The cozy, dimly lit interior looks authenticly decorated. Service was pleasant and efficient! We ordered Panang Curry with no spiciness, but it was spicy for me. The sticky rice helped a lot. We also got the pad see ew... it was delicious! This is a convenient location with accessible restroom! We'll be back!

    So we stopped by Siam Food is always great and service is fantastic I got the following this time Garlic Fish (Pla Tod Gratiem) and side sticky rice

    Cucumber salad
    Jolene L.

    We started with their cucumber salad. Packed with flavor, even the "mild" is spicy. You can tell they make this fresh because the cucumber slices were still firm and not soggy. Their yellow curry was delicious. Smooth sauce that isn't too salty. We added chicken to our order and that was a nice texture. We enjoyed this over sticky rice. Our favorite was the pad thai. Balanced layers of taste that wasn't too sweet, not too tangy, and not too salty. The noodles were tender, the veggies were fresh, and we added fried tofu to our order. We went during late lunch so it wasn't too busy and the service was attentive. Over the years, the food here seems to be consistent...tasty and plentiful!

    Spicy eggplant with pork

    The best Thai food anywhere spring rows are. Plentiful curry's tastes great.I reached out, especially their stuffed chicken. It's killer, good. Go and try this place. I've been coming here over 20 years. Portions are still in in good portions

    Kyle J.

    Been going to this spot for a long long time, their food keeps bringing me back. We got the stuffed chicken wing, the pad kee mao and their whole garlic fish. They didnt disappoint. They are still very consistent. This place still got the same lady servers in their 50s, warm and nice. They kept checking on us so felt like I have to tell them the food was really good lol. The restaurant is fairly small so when theres a larger group in there, its quite noisy. When we were visited, there was a large group of 10 ppl right next to us. And there was a moment where one person said curry then rhe whole damn table repeated curry 15 times in different accents. That was kinda weird.

    Exterior of the restaurant

    The food is spot on! The service fantastic and I love the ambiance. The prices have risen but it will not stop me from visiting often. If you pay cash you save 3%. My wife and I spent $77 tip included for 3 separate dishes and one sticky rice and one regular rice. But, it's worth it to treat yourself to a nice lunch or dinner right? See you there! You can thank me later.

    Spring Rolls / Poh Piah Tod
    Jess B.

    We came here with a party of 18 and I was honestly really impressed with how well the staff handled everything. The servers were super nice, efficient, and patient the whole time. Even with such a big group and a ton of dishes, the food came out pretty quickly and everything was on point. We ordered a bunch of dishes, spring rolls, fried egg rolls. papaya salad, Thai fried rice, panang curry, drunken noodles, and more. Everything was tasty and well-balanced. The mango sticky rice at the end was the perfect finish. The restaurant isn't huge, but they use the space well and were able to fit our whole group comfortably. It's located in a shopping center with paid parking in the back, so just a heads-up if you're driving. Overall, great food and even better service!

    Ask the Community - Siam Garden Cafe

    Is MSG added in their dishes?

    You can specifically ask them NOT to add MSG but all of the other items such as fish sauce, oyster sauce that is used to cook does contain MSG.

    Is anyone else having issues with the phone number to call for take-out? When I call I get a FAX number.

    Last time I drove there on Sunday, the door was locked and notice says "close for deep cleaning". 🤷

    Does anyone know if they're still open? I have been calling for several days to do a take-out order and either I get the busy signal or a fax machine picks up. I know they closed their Kaimuki location - please don't tell me they closed this one.

    I drove there on Sunday and the sign says they are closed for deep cleaning.

    Do they use MSG?

    Yes they do but you can request without.

    Is this place wheelchair accessible?

    Yes, but it's tight

    Where is the best place to park?

    If you can find parking in front of the restaurant then that's ideal but if not there's a parking lot behind with a walk thru tunnel to the restaurant. There is also a ramp up to an upper lot.

    Is it byob?

    No it's not. They have a bar counter inside.

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.

Seating is outside or inside, but we prefer outside. It gives oasis, even though you're right on a busy street, you feel like you've been transported someplace exotic as the tree and plants are accented with an. eclectic East Asian decor. The food is generous, although some of the plating can read pedestrian. We always get the Panang curry and try a different curry or dish along with it. The pricing is a dollar or two under most of the Thai restaurants around. Have I had better Thai food? Sure. But for an overall experience I so much prefer the serene setting here, as well as hearty portions, kind service, BYOB option, and supporting an independently run Kaimuki eatery. The food is good, I'd give it a 4. The atmosphere is a 5. Definitely do dine in. Fun as a pair or with a group.

However, parking abounds on the street (metered) and in the bigger lot located mountainside (mauka) of the smaller lot located right outside of Thai Village. Restrooms: They do not have their own restroom; all establishments share the same key-only restroom, located in the center of the main building, ground level.
