    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.

    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.

    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!

    ***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.

    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!

    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.

    Stuffed chicken
    Hao T.

    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.

    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

    Long Rice Soup with chicken
    Kristine M.

    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.

    Pad Thai Noodle  Panang Curry Spring Rolls
    Hannah O.

    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.

The egg was pretty typical, but solid. The pork was great. There was one piece, and it was super soft. It was not heavily soy-flavored, which I actually liked even though I usually like the soy flavor The big surprise was how good the sides were. The fried rice was excellent. It had good flavor, was very moist without being soggy, and had a nice smoky flavor with enough salt and egg. There was even pork in the fried rice, which made it feel more complete. With the naruto and everything else mixed in, it was really good. The gyoza was probably frozen, but I can't really complain. It was a good price, tasted fine, and came with both shoyu and gyoza sauce. Service was also very fast and attentive. Overall, Shaka Ramen was great value for the price and good quality

I liked the ramen idea, just not a fan of the overall flavors. Plenty of seating and a small group hanging out there. If you are new, they are helpful to assist in how everything works.

    Another bookmark checked…read more With the abrupt closure of a popular, similar create your own bowl of ramen business in town in 2019, I was bummed but heard through the grapevine of a matching concept of create your own bowl of noodles across town. Located in Pearl Kai Shopping Center, Build Your Own Rmaen (BYOR) opened on December 26, 2018 offering create your own bowl of noodles. As a townie and not keen to fight traffic, I've bookmarked this business and finally made it here after 6 years. Late to the party but better than never... I was invited to celebrate a birthday with noodles and was asked to give suggestions near Pearl City area. I immediately jumped and mentioned BYOR, and used next door neighbor Island Glazed Donuts as an incentive. No further explanation needed so I took off 1/2 day from work to attend this get together. It was a right decision to come here for lunch as traffic from town was light and lots of parking as we arrived on a Wednesday. With many shared businesses in this lot, parking can get challenging here. The restaurant was fairly empty as I arrived at 1215pm and sat on a long table for our group of 5. They have picture menus so it's easy to follow the instructions to order. Interior was bright and welcoming with many signs of food pictures posted on the walls and as well on each table. Near the entrance are 2 long showcases of meats and vegetables. Signs advise you the price and there's also a laminated chart on the wall near the scale that calculates your cost as your bowl is dependent on the weight. You grab an empty basket and pair of tongs and you select what you want. For me, I chose head on shrimp, book tripe, beef tendon, fish ball with roe, squid, bamboo shoots, black fungus, fried tofu, pumpkin slices and king mushroom. You take your basket to the register to have it officially weighed where you also select your broth and type of starch. I was craving a curry broth but unfortunately that wasn't an option. I then took a leap of faith by trying the spicy sour cabbage broth. In addition to each of us getting our bowl of noodles, my sister also wanted to try their spring rolls. Perhaps because it wasn't busy our food came out quickly. Piping hot, our creations were nicely presented with toppings nicely arranged. We snapped away with our cameras and it was finally time to dig in. THE VERDICT: Overall, very impressed with the food quality and execution. Loved how tender the book tripe and beef tendon were. The head on shrimp were cooked until perfection - - juicy and lots of shrimp head fat. Yummo!!! My noodles had a great chew and bounce, however, I wasn't a real fan of the spicy sour cabbage broth. Kinda tasted like a tom yum koong but somewhat funky. I jazzed up my creation with their housemade satay sauce that was off the charts. Highly recommended. Service was above average as the staff came to check up on us and refilled our water cups. She even came to see if we had room for our complimentary Taiwanese style shave ice dessert that comes with ramen orders. This bowl was heavenly. So refreshing and cooled our palates down after a hot bowl of noodles. We enjoyed our first visit to BYOR and will be back again. I'll be sure to order another broth and perhaps sample other appetizers that got my attention. NOTE. You pay for your meal after you're done. My bowl was a whopping $35. For a party of 5 service charge of 18% was automatically tacked on to our bill. You also have the option of adding more gratuity in addition to the automatic service charge. 2026 #55
