This is a super hole in the wall place with surprisingly nice ambiance in December! Grab a table and enjoy the view of 'Āhuimanu stream as it exits to the ocean. We had the satay chicken, which had a really delicious peanut sauce and pad Thai; which was a bit too sweet for my taste. The woman working the front was really nice and gave us some extra turon (banana lumpia) with coconut (that was delicious!). Swing next door to the shop to grab drinks if you don't see something you like.

After visiting the Byono-In temple, the family wanted some Thai food and decided on a small food truck on the side of the road. Also, shout out to food trucks all over Hawaii, since they seem to get a lot of yelp spots. Everyone enjoyed their food, we ordered garlic shrimp, green curry, papaya salad, sweet chili shrimp and shrimp pad Thai. The family was happy and so was I. Just a side note, they actually had a couple of restrooms in back, primitive but clean, I was thankful to say the least. This was a very nice find here in Eastern Oahu. Maybe you'll stumble on it some day.

Veggie pad thai but it really was veggie pad SA ew

So disappointed in the food. We saw other reviews and were very excited to give it a try. We got vegetarian pad Thai (they were out of tofu), the spring rolls, papaya salad (medium spice). The pad Thai was actually pad SA ew. The noodles were thick and was a little soggy. It tasted good but that's not what we ordered. The noodles to veggie ratio was way off. I wish there would've been more noodles. The spring rolls might've been the best thing we got but this was just an appetizer and we aren't basing this review only on a good appetizer. Serviced with sweet fish sauce dipping sauce. The papaya salad was such a huge serving but tasted so bland. Couldn't tell there was any spicy heat in it. Also could hardly taste any fish sauce or lime or any other flavors that you would get from papaya salad. Such a disappointment.

I highly recommend the pork chops here. We come here specifically for the deep fried pork goodness. Tommy is the owner and super friendly. Please note it is cash only. There is seating and unofficial parking in the dirt lot. You can choose jasmine or sticky rice with your entree. Step up to the window to order. Happy eating.

Veggie pad Thai

Delicious food with wonderful view of the mountains! The staff is super friendly. I highly recommend the veggie pad Thai. There is cover for rain. (:

Pad Thai with chicken (i requested no peanuts)

This hidden Thai food truck is located by the Kahalu'u convenient store across of 711. There is parking under the tree right in front of the truck and some benches to sit and enjoy your food. I made a take out order or chicken pad Thai and chicken panang curry. My food was ready in 10 minutes! All their plates are only $11 no tax, cash only. So for my two items I paid only $22! It is such a deal for the amount they give and the food is tasty!! The curry comes with some jasmine rice and lots of curry sauce plus vegetables in it. The pad Thai had so much noodles and the entire container was full to the top! I would definitely recommend this truck and plan to come back to try their other dishes. You really can't go wrong for $11! The man and woman who helped me were extremely friendly too! :)

Came here for lunch b/c the hubby wanted to pick up food from the food truck vendor who also parks in the same area. Loved the pad thai (very generous serving!) and friendly owner, however, I was a bit turned off by the fact that he was not wearing a face covering.

Penang curry and sticky rice

Great food, excellent service. The owner is one of the most genuinely kind people I've met while trying different Thai food places around island. Very good quality food and you could taste how fresh the veggies were in the curry. He was very insightful for food choices and tips. He was very welcoming which isn't always common. They're worth a stop if you are craving some Thai food or a good experience. Can't wait for my next time to drive across island to try something else on the menu.

It was actually funny because we came in the day before just to look at the menu, and when we came…read moreback the next day, they remembered us. It really felt like a family owned business, and the same three people were there both days. Everyone was extremely nice, and honestly, I would come back just because of how welcoming they were. We ordered the sesame chicken with fried rice, and the portion of sesame chicken was huge. I definitely wasn't expecting that much food, but I'm not complaining. The chicken was really crispy and had a great flavor. The food also came out pretty quickly, so there wasn't much of a wait. One thing I really appreciated was how attentive they were with the water. I drink a lot of water, especially with how hot it is in Hawaii, and I mentioned that when we first sat down. Every time my glass started getting low, the gentleman would come over and refill it without me even having to ask. He probably refilled it 8 to 10 times, which I really appreciated. The music was also really good, and we had a nice window seat where we could look outside. The seating was comfortable and the whole experience was just really pleasant. I would definitely recommend coming here, especially if you appreciate good food and genuinely friendly service.

This hidden gem of a place my cousin from the mainland told me about haha…read more She went with her family the last time they were here, so we thought, let's go! This is a takeout place only. Very crowded and the tip is to place your order ahead of time and pick it up later. We actually shared the Lechon (Pork Belly) Malunggay Pasta. It was a very large plate and lots of leftovers after we ate it. The pork was incredibly juicy and the outsides were crispy. Noodles were awesome! I also bought pre-packaged noodles to go! Go to Kaneohe to try this awesome place!

I had this spot on my bookmarked list for a while and finally had the opportunity to try it since…read morewe were on that side of the island. We arrived on a Saturday night just before 7:30pm. There was no line and really nobody waiting ahead of us. The lady that took our order was very nice and I appreciated that they use a speaker to talk to us so I can hear her clearly. I was surprised that there was no seating, it's basically a walk-up counter with a display of their desserts. We had to eat in the trunk of our SUV which was a slight inconvenience for us. We had no idea what to order but I knew for sure I wanted to try their famous pasta noodles. So I ordered their popular combo #2: Taro Pasta w/ Shrimp, Luau Leaves, Mushrooms, & Coconut Cream Sauce for $29.98 and a slice of their Ube cheesecake. I was shocked at their prices. If you were to build your own pasta, each topping is $8.99+. I understand supporting local businesses but dang it's burning a hole in my wallet. Anyway on to the food. The pasta was good but disappointed at how sparse they went with the toppings. The pasta noodles were good and tasted like taro. The Ube cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. It's a big tall slice but the crust was very thin. It was lacking in Ube flavor, which if I had to guess, comes from Ube extract. I could tell because my mouth was blue after eating it. This place is pretty hyped up, I'm finding it hard to see why. Overall, I guess I expected more based on the raving reviews. My experience was just mid.
