Thai Bistro Suksabay is located at Pearl Kai Shopping center in Aiea. My friend loves this place so I had to meet her here to try for lunch. Three of us shared the shrimp salad, House fried chicken, and the green chicken curry mild w sticky rice. I really enjoyed all of the food. The house fried chicken and chicken curry was really good. Next time I come I'll have to order a house fried chicken just for myself! Service was quick and friendly. I'll be back! read more

This is a solid Thai place! The service was wonderful! The server was very attentive to our needs and kept things very lighthearted. I know he had a lot going on because I think he was the only server on the floor and didn't seem overwhelmed or anything. He's really great with customer service. The place feels very Thai-y, lol. Not a big restaurant and it's pretty homey and intimate. I got the pad Thai with chicken and my husband got the chicken panang curry with sticky rice. I guess I was hungry or the food was really good because I finished my whole plate. I was sad there was nothing left over to bring home, lol. I'm not sure if they normally do this, but I love that they didn't have peanuts on top of my pad Thai because I forgot to ask to not include it. That's how I normally get my pad Thai. I got the medium spicy and it was the perfect spice level. My husband also got the medium spicy for his Panang curry, and I thought his was spicier than mine lol. We thought it was still both good though. Adding this place to our "go-to" Thai places. read more

My wife and I always compare which Thai restaurant has the best food compared to price and Thai Bistro Suksabay definitely makes the list. We have eaten here multiple times previously and are always satisfied. Ironically, we always get the same things when we grab Thai. Essentially, we crave our dishes, not necessarily Thai food. lol. I grabbed their red coconut curry and my wife grabbed their pad Thai. They were delicious. Always remember to grab your dish with "mild" hotness. Thai chili and spice range is significantly hotter than average. Their staff is very friendly. Their interior is very comfortable. I like their interior decor. Parking is plenty as well. We will be back! read more

We went there for lunch it was the first time going there. We had the assorted appetizers which were very tasty, the fish patties were tasty and moist and the calamari was crispy and went well with the 2 types of sauce they served. The crispy rice wrap was interesting, but was good and the satay chicken stick was also good with the peanut butter sauce. The spring rolls came out nice and crispy it had the right amount of vegetables and meat inside and went well with the dipping sauce, only thing for the 6 rolls they only have 2 small leaves of romaine to wrap the rolls in so we just ate it with out the romaine lettuce. I had the Evil Princess stir fried with pork and green beans and bamboo shoots, onions and basil leaves with a curry sauce. It was okay but on the sweeter side due to the coconut milk in the curry. My wife enjoyed the fried pork chop with her dipping sauce. The Pad Thai noodles with Chicken was okay, but on the sweeter side like more ketchup than flavor, there was a lot left so others thought the same. Men's restroom is dangerous they have brooms and other cleaning supplies as you enter the restroom, if you are not careful you could trip over the supplies, don't know why they don't place it more inside, because they have room in the restroom. Server was nice and friendly, this is a family run business, looks like the sister, brother, their mother who cleans the table non stop was very busy. And another family member doing the busing and dishes. read more

My friend and I met here at 11 for lunch during the week. Parking wasn't crowded yet and we were the only table dining in. We got seated promptly and were brought menus. The inside smelled a little like stale mop water and there was a clump of hair on the floor. The staff is very to the point. I like that they don't come around and bother you often, they just made sure our water was always full. I got the pad Thai with chicken. It was really good! Large portion, and I asked for it spicy and it was ACTUALLY spicy. I was pleasantly surprised. I had to get a to go box. Overall with tip it was about $20. It's good if you're looking for some Thai - they had a lot of to go orders. read more

Dinner with friends... Thai food is an excellent choice when dining with a group as you're able to order multiple items and graze through the varieties. Thai Bistro Suksabay is found at Pearl Kai so you know that parking is super easy though deciding what to order is easier said than done but luckily I have a group who knows what they want and just enjoyed having them make the choices. Yellow Curry with sticky rice, Stuffed Chicken wings, Pad Kra Pho, Kee Mao and Pad Seiew noodles. I am more of the americanized palate when it comes to some of these dishes and enjoy them as I'm clueless of what's authentic but with that it was okay for me personally though it was nice that they gave us a nice long table so that we're able to sit together but am a Kee Mao lover along with the stuffed chicken wings. The staff was nice as I just went with the flow and enjoyed my evening with friends. Thank you! read more

We've been to Suksabay several times and have never walked out disappointed. Service is always great and food is always delicious! We got the spring rolls, Pad thai with tofu, stir-fry eggplant with pork and two orders of the King of Chili. The King of Chili is our favorite dish...we got it with ground beef. It's seasoned with Thai spices and vegetables and served on rice with an over easy egg. Delicious!! The eggplant and pork was so tasty and the eggplant was cooked just enough. Their pad Thai is always full of flavor we like to get it with tofu. The spring rolls are crunchy and served with crunchy cucumber slices and fresh green lettuce! The atmosphere is casual and the dining area is very clean. Without hesitation, I say we will be back...over and over again! read more

***3.5 STARS*** The other week I missed out on a Thai dinner with my foodie friends as I had dinner plans with family but was extended another invite for another Thai dinner the very next week. The venue this time was Thai Bistro Suksabay (TBS), apparently a family owned restaurant in Pearl Kai Shopping Center. There's a huge lot of shared parking with many businesses here. It was agreed to congregate here after work on Thursday. Traffic from town to Aiea was manageable as it took less than 20 min to arrive. Upon entry I was greeted by the staff who showed me where our table was as Auntie (aka Nadine C.) organized the get together and made reservations. I was catching up with Irene M. while waiting for the others to show up. I was digging the bright and clean, cozy restaurant with tasteful Thai decor that was very inviting. Once everyone arrived we were hungry and after hearing what dishes were desired, I was tasked to order family style for our group. We utilized our waiting time discussing over Yelp events and upcoming travel plans. As food started to arrive, we snapped photos with our cameras and it was time to dig in. THE VERDICT: The star of the night was the stuffed chicken wings. Executed beautifully. Generously stuffed and deep fried until golden brown. Tasty, crunchy, served hot. Would come back just for this. I'd order this again in a heart beat. But sadly, this was the only memorable dish out of 6 items we ordered. Unfortunately, most of the remaining dishes selected were underwhelming. I agree with Rod U. as he mentioned in his review. The food here seems Westernized to cater to the foot traffic in this area. I've been to Thai restaurants in Oahu with better quality. I found the food here lacking depth, taste and finesse. Both the pad see ew and pad kee mao lacked smokiness and charred noodles that make the dish. The beef used was chewy and far from tender. Not a fan of large chunks of potatoes in the yellow curry, which lacked flavor and richness - - it was watery and the chicken inside didn't provide enough flavoring. The pad kra pao was also disappointing as large chunks of green and bell peppers were used and the dish had too much gravy. Dish lacked flavor and smokiness and the fried egg on top was cooked over easy on low heat. Authentic restaurants will fry the egg high heat where the edges crisp nicely while maintaining the sunny side egg. The sticky rice was standard. I had to ask for spicy sauce and was provided 2 ramekins of sambal and given a bottle of sriracha. Because others only wanted sriracha, I myself ended up using all of the sambal to provide the spiciness I enjoy in Thai dishes that were sadly missing in our food. Restaurant wasn't that busy but service was spotty. Seemed like 2 brothers (?) were working the floor, 1 of them seemed like still in middle school. They were pleasant and one of them engaged in my party favors that I brought that evening. Overall, mixed feelings of TBS where I wouldn't bring my family here. I'm willing to do a carryout of only their stuffed wings or do a redemption visit with some friends. Not willing to drag my family to Aiea to disappoint them as clearly my first visit was not memorable with the subpar food. But I'm grateful TBS provided the venue for my friends and I to get together and have dinner together. read more

Dinner in Pearl Kai, Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... Thai cuisine is fun to share - and our group of six really enjoyed Thai Bistro Suksabay! The free parking, elegant, nicely air-conditioned environment, and friendly, helpful staff were much appreciated! We had: pad kee mao (drunken noodles with a kick), pad see ew (i can eat this! Broccoli was good!), pad kra pad (spicy for me), yellow curry (a little spicy, but i finished it), sticky rice (i ate an entire serving), and stuffed chicken wings - crunchy! We agreed that this wasn't the best Thai cuisine, but it sure wasn't the worst! It's not Americanized, but it could be better... like more smokey flavor on the noodles and less mushy noodles? Overall, it was a great foodie adventure! read more

This small family style Thai bistro has been on my list to try as I love Thai food! I was so excited to go and try out their curry. I got the red curry Thai hot and for once they listened!!! most look at my fair skin and prejudge and never actually make it spicy so I was beyond happy to taste a small bite and feel the heat!!! I was enjoying the heat but was having a hard time chewing the seafood as it was super tough due to being overcooked. I actually had to stop trying to chew a piece of the squid and just put it on a side plate. Some of the bamboo shoots were too tough to bite through as well. It tasted like chewing on wood. My daughter loved the pad Thai! So that made me super happy. Service was super kind and checked on use throughout our meal! It might have just been an off day but I left feeling mixed as the flavor and spice was great but the seafood was a huge disappointment. read more

Service is a 4. We were like the only table there. The owner and his employee were very attentive. I'd give them a 5 for service. Now to the food... the food didn't meet my expectations. I was really disappointed with everything I had. We ordered 9 dishes for 5 adults and 1 child. Pad Thai- wish they had left the beans sprout on the side. It was missing lime and some ground peanuts. 8/10 Pad see ew- it was pretty much expected. Could use a little for seasoning and maybe cook at a higher temp to get that restaurant seasoning/flavor/heat. 9/10 Pak Lee mao- same as pad see ew. 8/10 Papaya salad - the papaya should be shredded a lot thinner. Should not be using Roma tomato or and should be using cherry tomato. The fish sauce was salty and needed some lime juice and of course r, ground peanuts. 5/10 Stuffed chicken wing- a little bal d and felt like it was over fried. Batter is too thick. 6/10 Satay chicken- tasted like it was deep fried or pan fried and not grilled. The peanut sauce should be on the side and not dressed on top. 6/10 Fried chicken- crispy as expected. Delicious 10/10 House fried rice- special sauce was soy sauce. That's all I could taste. I did like the rice the used though. It was a little sticky but not quite the sticker rice consistency. 7/10 Tom yum soup- good but just a little on the sour side. Might be good with white rice. 7/10 and possible 9/10 if I had white rice. I didn't have the heart to leave everything there so I took most of the food home. I definitely won't be eating it again. Spent $175 after tip. read more

I was not a fan of the food, however the staff were extremely friendly! I don't want to bash on them, I just know the pad Thai and the spring rolls were "different" and just wasn't for me. I'm not a Thai snob by any means, the flavors were not what I was expecting read more

Every time I get sick I have to order the chicken long rice soup to go. They are always so kind when my spouse picks it up for me and the location is convenient. The soup itself is flavorful and packed with veggies, tofu and chicken. It always makes me feel better. The way they pack it to-go is perfect, they pack the noodles separately so they don't overcook. I also at times get the Pad Thai and spring rolls. The pad Thai is exactly what you want in a pad Thai. They don't skimp on any of the ingredients and the flavor is perfect. The spring rolls always come out fresh with crisp lettuce and basil. The sauce is deliciously sweet and tangy. While the place is small with 4-5 tables, it is very welcoming and the service is fast. read more

Delicious Thai flavors and big family style portions. How did I get out without a single photo to share?? I had a business lunch with a friend. We indulged! Egg rolls. Pad Thai. Broccoli and beef. Crispy chicken. Panang Chicken. Rice. Everything was amazing and prepared perfectly. It was my first time but they recognized him as he visits with his family for dinner, frequently. I will too! Service was great, and while I heard some had a reservation, it was not too crowded at 11:30 when we arrived, but did slowly fill up as it was Friday. read more

absolutely elated to find a very good thai place here! they look very unsuspecting from the outside but when you walk in you'll be immediately greeted. the space is small but service is very quick so wait time isn't long. i really wanted to try their penang curry and pad thai because those are my go-to orders at any thai restaurant. the curry was spot on! i prefer mine a little thicker and theirs was pretty runny but the flavors were perfect. the pad thai had a taste of ketchup so i wasn't really a fan but it was good enough that I'd order it again if i had a craving. price is very reasonable and the service is great. it's really peaceful inside and a great spot for groups or date night! definitely adding this place into our regular rotation. read more

At the suggestion of Elite Gail U, Thai Bistro Suksabay became the establishment of choice for our girl's lunch. Preface by saying I rarely head west past the HNL Airport. Moreover, the RAIL construction makes it difficult to get around on the surface street. But I'll go anywhere to have a great lunch with my girlfriends. I'm certainly glad we dined here. The food was great. The service was even greater and parking is not a problem at this Pearl Kai Marketplace where Thai Bistro is located. The do close at 2 pm so if you're planning lunch, please plan to go there early,. I do recommend the stuffed chicken wings. (I try this dish at any Thai restaurant who serves this....) Thai Bistro's stuffed wings make the top 3 in in book! read more

A perfect place for a trio of friends to catch up and enjoy lunch together. I was the last to arrive with 15 minutes to go til noon. Such punctual Yelp Elite friends. Love that! Large enough space and the tables weren't crammed together. The food came out fast enough cuz I didn't have time to glance around. I know the front of the restaurant had changed with perhaps a long serving counter across from their kitchen. 3 iced thai coffees, stuffed chicken wings, pad kee mow(wide noodles) with beef and server asked, spring rolls? Two items were fried so perhaps a salad and/or a curry dish should have been added too. The stuffed chicken wings I breathed in instead of chewing and swallowing properly, I ended up coughing into my napkin several times. Must be the oinker in me. Sorry! Our conversations ran high but we weren't rambunctious as the gentlemen on our left. We must be small eaters cuz there were leftovers. Our male server(possible owner?) and his female helper let us enjoy each others'company rather than chasing us out. We actually stood up to leave once the one other remaining table left a smidgin of a moment before us. We plan to meet up again before the end of 2024 Awesome!! read more

I am OBSESSED with their food. Between the larb, tom yum soup and papaya salad - I could literally eat it every day and order from them at least once a week.

Met my friend here for dinner because I've been wanting Thai food for a while. They're located in Pearl Kai. Parking can get crowded depending on the time. We got seated and our waiter brought us our water right away along with menus. They have QR code menus too. We ordered pad Thai with shrimp, yellow curry, and fried chicken. And a side of sticky rice. The pad Thai was tasty but more on the wet side and I usually like my noodles on the drier side. The curry was good but I wish they would've asked what spice level we wanted it because I like things spicy and it wasn't spicy at all. The fried chicken was the best. Huge pieces and super crunchy with the sweet chili sauce. And of course you have to have sticky rice! I like Jasmine rice too but nothing beats sticky rice. They don't have too many tables, but can still accommodate "larger" parties if needed. When we were there they had two parties of 10. And they had about 5 more tables besides that. They're attentive to filling up your water and are very friendly. read more
