I've only gone once but the peanut curry was so thin and lacked a lot of flavor. Also... I asked for Thai hot. I got American medium at best. I also had to add peanut butter when I got home. I do like that they're open late, though. I might try their other dishes sometime. read more

This is the most unexpected location I've ever been to. We went in at 11:00 at night after my daughter had a wild craving for chicken fried rice. At 11:00 at night? Hey I gotta grab these moments while I can. She very rarely asks for Thai food. I mean rarely...like one time back in 2017. Could have been 2015, anyways...so here I am walking into an old school bar looking to order Thai food when they're only open for another 40 minutes. Restaurant staff hate people like me. I casually made my way to the bar and acted like I knew what I was doing. The bartender downed a shot and asked me how she could help me. I think the kitchen was already closed. She looked at a young lady sitting at the bar, made a quick exchange of words in Thai and then asked me if I knew what I wanted to order? Luckily I did. One Chicken Pad Thai, one order of Chicken Panang Curry and the star of the night... One order of Chicken Fried Rice. $45 later, I was on my way to getting a great meal. As it turned out, they only had enough chicken for one of the dishes. She suggested Chicken Pad Thai and either beef or pork for the fried rice and the panang curry. Whoa Sista! If I return home with anything but Chicken Fried Rice, i'm dead, no seriously D E A D. I quickly almost begging asked to use the chicken for the Fried Rice. I'd have beef. For those of you that don't know me, I have an affliction with beef. It's a love-hate relationship so for me to order beef that was quite stretch. She smiled and said OK. Around 20 minutes later I was walking out of there with what felt like 10 pounds of food. I rushed home, my daughter was waiting for that chicken fried rice. The dishes were burning hot, even after the 15 minute drive home. The Beef Panang Curry was a little bit on the watery side but on point, delicious. Pad Thai well what can you ever say bad about Pad Thai? And about that chicken fried rice what was the consensus? Five stars! Woo hoo. So my adventure to a small bar that served Thai food at 11:00 saved me from fate. It was a success! And to the two women at the bar, thank you for saving me with that Chicken Fried Rice! This is a HAVE TO TRY experience. You won't regret it. read more

Covid has disrupted the restaurant industry, but it hasn't stopped them from cooking to provide great food to the community through delivery and takeout! Eventually, we will get back to some new normal where there is no fear in dining. This was delivery 3 from uber eats from the hubs. He knows that Thai food is my number one favorite. It's probably because I mention it a lot lol. I didn't know what to expect since our tastes in food differ. I was excited to see that I was having it for dinner:) I eagerly ripped the plastic bag and dove right in. I wonder what he ordered for me? There was panang chicken curry, Tom yum seafood soup, fried chicken, and sticky rice. These are all food options that I wouldn't normally order. I have the fear of trying something different in Thai food lol. I usually stay with chicken Tom yum, yellow curry, pad see ew, and chicken basil. Those are my go to at most Thai eateries. The verdict is........the panang has been added to a must order! I believe they used peanut butter in the curry, and the hubs requested it to be very spicy for me:) It was thick, sweet and salty, nutty flavor, with tender chicken. I love how coconut milk makes the panang creamy and luscious. I added it onto my sticky rice. I highly recommend this one!! The Tom yum seafood soup was ok. I felt the fish was soft and meaty. The calamari fell out of place by being hard and rubbery. There was about 3 shrimps in the soup, and it was filled with mushroom, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and the fish sauce was a little overwhelming. I felt I was doing a lot more digging, and removing than eating for this soup. The fried chicken was fine. The batter used for deep frying seemed basic. My first couple of bites was tough. I ended up dipping it in the sweet and sour sauce. Overall, it was a great dinner choice for delivery!!! Thank you hubby!!! I will definitely be ordering the panang again! Step out of your comfort zone and try new things! If you don't like it at least you know you tried! Support local:) read more

This place you can pass in a blink of an eye while driving, so you have to be aware of where this place is. The place is directly behind Bob's bbq on waiakamilo. It used to be "Kathy's place" back in the day. Came here to watch football. Plenty parking, ample space, pool tables, multiple screens, multiple bathrooms, awesome service, and awesome food! Back alley is good because I live near mccully area, but if you live kalihi area?!? This place is by far bomb! The flavors will kick you into your next life! And your delicious food will be served by the friendliest server with a smile! Prices are cheap considering the quality of food you get. The papaya salad is $12, the curry with pork is $12, sticky rice is $4. The food will make you awkwardly moan in satisfaction tbh. Will be back again for food! read more

Siam Paradise - Left: papaya salad w/ vermicelli Right: Evil Jungle curry - Thai Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This place never disappoints! I haven't dined in the restaurant or bar itself, but I have done multiple catering and take out orders from the owner. I know inside there is darts and a pool table to play and lots of seating. To start, I'm not at all a huge fan of Thai food, but this place meets my taste buds expectations. I have tried their spring rolls, fried chicken, cashew chicken stir fry, pad thai and off the menu taro tapioca..AMAZING!! If you ever are in the area and craving Thai food, stop by here. Construction is making me not want to stop by here, but be sure to eat as much food as you can with a group. Currently there is no light up sign on the walls, so just be attentive to the parking lot. read more

I tried Siam Paradise for the first time last night. I was taken aback when I first walked in because it looked more like a bar than a restaurant. I ordered the green curry and a red curry. I wasn't expecting much because I was thinking bar food. I got it as takeout. When I got home and tried it I was pleasantly surprised. It was so delicious! They were authentic and very flavorful. I will be back and make this my new go to place for good Thai food! read more

Amazing pad Thai!! We also got Tom yum soup, and papaya salad. All fantastic! My favorite part about this place is the fact that when you ask for it spicy, they make it spicy! A must try for Thai in the area! read more

They over charge your open tab with no reasons at all! Be aware and make sure you know what you order!

Everyone in here was welcoming and friendly. The drinks were amazing and the locals you have an opportunity to converse with will be interesting and make you think. Definitely worth the trip if you visit hawaii. read more

Ordered their panang chicken curry take out. Nothing but watered down curry and peanuts with onions. There was no bell peppers and I didn't even find not 1 green bean in my bowl. Big disappointment, Sad to say but the only thing I ate was the Jasmine rice. Definitely won't be ordering food from them again. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Great food, cheap drinks and POOL TABLES. We came here for APA league on a Monday. 90% of the place was there for league but there were still a few regulars (or so it seemed by the way they were chatting with he staff). We ordered the pad thai. We asked for medium spicy but it was definitely on a haole scale, not a thai scale. Next time I'll ask for extra spicy. We also ordered the peanut (panang) curry. Both were so delicious and fairly priced at 10.99 a plate. This is much lower than the other thai places in town. OH! And I'd like to point out that I didn't get a good photo of the food because I was THAT excited to eat. That means something to you foodies. The bar also has occasional beer specials. We had bud light limes for 2.50 a pop! This kept our tab under 40 for the whole night. Yay! I'm not sure what this place is like on non-league nights but I'm definitely going to check it out! The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because of my loyalty to another thai spot. Otherwise, this place is top notch! read more

Don't let the outside appearances and location fool you, this is a legit Thai food restaurant. Yes, it's basically a bar with a pool table and mulitple TVs but it serves up some great dishes. The owner is so friendly and helpful, this is extremely useful if you are starting to try Thai food and not sure what to order. The star is pad wun sen (stir fried rice noodles) with tofu. What's really impressive is that they spend the time to fry every side of the tofu evenly and it's cooked to perfection. Noodles are firm and chewy with a generous amount of veggies. The evil jungle and green curries are good. Wished that they would more heat and both was a little heavy on the sugar. The green curry was a little on the watery side. The tom yum with tofu was dominated with tamarind flavors which makes it a little on the sour side but is balanced with kariff lime and onions. I hope they succeed, so give this place a try and spread the word. read more

Update: we got the garlic stir fry and the Thai fried rice. Damn! We gonna explore this menu! Update 2: live bands on Thursday- open mic. Actually pretty awesome! read more

I made a phone order of peanut curry and let me tell you this.... The spice the flavor the smell ITS AMAZING!!!! Very fast pick up cloth bag packaging. I asked for medium spicy and it's more of a mild spicy so maybe next time an extra chili pepper or chili oil or hot sauce on the side to give it a more kick if it's not spicy enough to how you want it. read more

This was the most fun experience we had in a long time. After my nephew's graduation, we decided to eat out. About 15-18 of my family was ready to dine in. Commencement went all the way until 9pm and it took about 15-25mins to get out of Manoa... so first thing in mind was Zippys. Yah.... No! The Nimitz location said that they had 2 servers in the dine in part so the hostess said to go next door to the take out section of the restaurant. Uuummm.. we went there and 3 of the workers were talking stories and informed them what had occurred next door. We then said we will try Wing Stop! But they only got wings... no variety. My hubby suggest Siam Paradise... Oh my! From the outside it looked really dark and shady... so we walked up to the entrance and was surprised that the inside was quite big and clean. The ladies were helpful and didnt turn us away. Holy Moses! Good Food!° Pleasant staff and we sang Karaoke ! They also got a billiard table if you want to play a round. Im very impressed!!! Thank you for the delicious tasting cuisine! I highly recommend this place! read more

This is not typical Thai food... The 4 stars are for the very unique experience I had eating here. This is a very small place, the chef comes to your table and asks you what types of things you like and then goes back and prepares dishes for you. Some of the dishes were hits and some were misses. You can also order off the menu but I didn't see many people doing that. My 2 companions absolutely loved the food so its a matter of taste. I definitely recommend experiencing this restaurant at least once. Don't be in a hurry because there's a long wait between dishes. I had good company so I didn't mind. read more

I was craving some Pad Thai and drove from Waikiki to get some. When we arrived to the place, we did not get seated nor greeted. We picked up a menu and made our selections then went to the counter and the lady said last call was at 9p for food and drinks. Wasn't worth the drive nor felt welcome here. Very disappointed. read more

This is the best Thai food in town. Lots of free parking! Reasonable prices! Full bar but limited wines. Byow. Owner May is Thai as is the kitchen staff. Flavors are masterfully blended! Large menu! Decor is 60's Korean bar because that is what it was for 30 years till two years ago when it became Siam Paradise. Very large restaurant in free standing bldg on Dillingham down from Bobs drive in. Try it!! Lunch take out only. read more

After the unexpected closing of Pattaya restaurant on Queen, my go-to place for Thai food, I was wondering if there was someplace out there that could fill the void...and then I walked into Siam Paradise. The minute I walked in and was welcomed warmly by Gem and May, I had a good feeling about the place. We ordered and were amazed at how good the food was! Then, Nat walked in...we know each other from Pattaya. Then Jep walked out from the kitchen...she's the same cook from Pattaya! No wonder the food was terrific! If you are missing Pattaya...which I know everyone in the Kakaako area is...go to Siam Paradise. It was like coming home on leave and my mom gives me a big hug and makes me my favorite meal. I have found my new home.... read more

I came to play 8 tournament here for the first time and when we finished a live local band set up. I wanted to stay and check it out.These guys can rock classics from Cream,Led Zeppelin,Black Sabbath,an Aero Smith,bands that only us dinosaurs would appreciate.It was open mike night but this would be a tough act to follow. I ordered the shrimp plate and sides of spring rolls and garlic fries and Heiniken to enjoy while listening to the great house band. My drinks came quickly by the bartender who doubled up also as the waitress.My sides arrived before my dinner and they were great.My shrimp plate was spicy the way I liked it.Even though it looks like a hostess bar it is a place to get excellent Thai an local food at great prices. Plenty of free parking,great food, a terrific band on open mike night at Siam Paradise. read more

Oahu is known for decent traditional Thai food. I thought I would give this place a try since my dad's friend is a regular here & he visits Thailand quite often so he may have a palette for this cuisine. I was so wrong. First off, customer service was non existent. The waitress was on her phone the whole time and neglected to fill my water. I asked her for recommendations since the menu was pretty extensive. She said everything is good and she can't decide on what to recommend...finally food arrived (the only + for this place was food came out quickly). I ended up ordering: 1. Drunken Noodle 1/5 they were not noodles....I think it was mush. The noodles were overcooked and it was too salty. 2. Red Curry 2/5 It tasted bland and the curry was watery. 3. Fried Shrimp 3/5 This was not bad but it looked nothing like the photo of the fried shrimp in their menu. 4. Side order of sticky rice 0.5/5 I've had many variations of sticky rice in my lifetime but this by far was the worst. It was dry. If I were to make assumptions, I think they made the rice a few days ago and left it out. Overall experience 2/5. read more

Stopped by for takeout Pad Thai order. I walked in and the waitress quickly put her mask on. The Pad Thai Shrimp was bland with very little egg and only 6 shrimp. There were a couple of green onions and a few bean sprouts. It looked like there was ketchup in it and it was missing fish sauce . I will not be eating here again. read more

Still retains some of hostess bar atmosphere. Tall tables against the walls spells pool hall vibe. Two pool tables. Both busy. Horseshoe shaped bar from it's hostess bar days.

Formally known as Kathy's Place. From what my bf told me, there's a new co-owner who made some changes for the better. They serve some tasty Thai food and then some. There's two pool tables, a fish pond and some karaoke! We decided to come here for dinner and of course the bf played a few rounds of pool with the owner. The food did not disappoint, music playing added a nice touch to the atmosphere. I would definitely return again for all of the above! read more
