Craving pho today and sooo glad I stopped in today for Lao's version, with much more umami, beef flavored goodness to quell my jungle Asian taste buds. Tons of meat, beef and meatball, toppings, vegetables to add in, plus a DIY spice pepper rack with sambal, chili oil and dried peppers, your boy was in sap sap heaven. Service is very kind and helpful, place is clean and had on Thai music for the nostalgia but rap, island reggae for extra flavor. I've had their food from the Aiea/Pearl city shop, had their amazing papaya salad at their popups, but will be back to their Kapolei shop to sampo a few more items that I was eyeing out. Mahalo Thai Lao, for giving a chunky kid exactly what he was craving today. read more

Came here today based on the reviews saying many GLuten free options. While they can do a few things I wouldn't call it many. It's only a few soups, curry and one or two stirfries. The food was ok but definitely not great. It was all very greasy and rather bland. Also thy ran out of tofu. As a vegetarian that really stunk. How do you run out of tofu ‍ read more

We had the Shrimp PaNang and the chicken satay appetizer. $43 The chicken satay was a bit dry but also did not seem to be freshly grilled. Strange. It came with a citrus sauce drizzled all over it and the bamboo skewers which made it a bit messy. If it was not for the peanut sauce this would have been a complete bust. We ordered the PaNang Thai Hot and it did not disappoint. There was a $2 upcharge for the spice level as it shows on the menu. Just be aware so you are not surprised. We were warned that they did not have any basil for the PaNang. Even still, this was the 3rd best PaNang we've ever had and the second best we've had on the island. We'll have to come back and try it again. read more

It's been awhile and the flavors are back!!! The food was fresh and everything we had was pretty amazing. We ordered papaya salad, padsew, red curry, beef fried rice, pad phet and spring rolls. If I had to pick surprisingly it was the padsew. The noodles were delicious and they got the dark sauce to highlight the dish. I asked the waitress if they have a new chef and she said yes. You can totally tell. They are back on my good list! read more

My only Thai food spot near home that I religiously get take out from! Finally dined in for a late lunch and it was quiet with fast service. Servers are always so nice and tentative. Food is astonishing! I sadly get the same thing every time because I just love these dishes so much :) pad si ew is my top favorite dish with extra beef! No where else makes it like them! I also recently started loving the green curry fried rice with chicken which is surprisingly a good alternative if you don't want to get curry and rice. I also usually get pad Thai but that would've been too much food for me and my friend given these portions are huge. read more

Been coming to this Thai restaurant every since it opened many years ago. It's our go-to for Thai food. Dinner on a Saturday night at 6pm and there was only one other table filled. I suspect most of their business is take-out cuz there is a steady stream of ppl picking up. Anyhow, food is consistently awesome and so is the service. Highly recommended. Four stars. read more

When a Thai restaurant can't do plain white rice you know it's bad. We had been here before a few years ago and loved it but it is, terrible. The rice was pure mush. Someone with no cooking experience ruining instant rice would have done better. The food was flavorless. We had the pineapple curry that came with 4 chunks of canned pineapple and no flavor. The beef and tomato was "spoiled". Curries come with no rice. You have to order it separately. I've never seen this before. Do yourself a favor and Skip it. read more

I ordered stuffed chicken wings, yellow curry, spring rolls and pad thai all were disappointing the curry was super salty and no other flavor sort of bitter taste None of the food was enjoyable we used to love this place ,wondering if the cook changed so sad read more

I was craving some Thai food but wanted to try a new restaurant. Food here was flavorful. We ordered the following: spring roll, papaya salad, drunken noodles, mussaman curry, and larb. All of them were prepared as expected except the mussaman curry. I'm used to a reddish curry color but it wasn't. It was so good. All the dishes we ordered were seasoned well. Service was good. We came on a Sunday for lunch and it was not busy at all. Decor was simple and place was clean. I would come here again and try their other dishes. read more

Ordered chicken larb and a Thai tea as pick up. The service was quick - ready in 15 minutes. The staff wasn't overly friendly, more direct and transactional. The restaurant seemed clean. It was packaged well but the juices leaked out into the bag making a bit of a mess when I pulled it out. The portion was a good size, lettuce and cabbage served with it were clean and fresh, appearance was beautiful, but it was extremely salty, almost inedible. I can tell effort was put into this, but the saltiness of the meal makes this a huge miss for me. The Thai tea didn't come with a straw even though the lid they used needed one, but it was good. read more

Closed for holidays 12-2225 to 12-26-25. Yelp still taking orders. took mine, got there and sign on door indicated closed.

I always wanted to try this chain of Thai food . Took my daughter for her bday and ordered 6 dishes very excited to try the dishes. The rice came in bamboo containers stuffed to the brim until it toppled over. I tried the sticky rice and it tasted a day old or a couple days old. Horrible!! The fried chicken burnt the curry salty . I returned the chicken only but wanted to return curry to. It makes me wonder if these restaurants are recycling food. Pls don't be pilau mahalo read more

We were on our way back from Waianae Coast to Honolulu, but were hungry. We stopped in Kapolei area. This restaurant is across Safeway, Longs, McDonalds's strip mall. Actually, I was looking for Starbucks which was no longer there for lighter snack...but Thai Lao! I love Thai food! So my friend and parked in front...woo hoo!!! Inside, it was nice...lots of tables for a small place, one long table down the middle for a big party if need be. We took a side table for four people. Their menu was extensive, but I noticed right away...stuffed chicken wings! Last time I had that was 23 years ago at Chai's Keo when it was at Ward Centre. We ordered Panang Curry, Pad Thai noodles, Green Papaya Salad, rice, and Stuff Chicken Wings. Panang Curry - peanut nutty, coconut, medium spicy flavors....heavenly! Pad Thai noodles - tasty, nutty, with white fish (mahi mahi), got to have some rice noodles, red bell peppers, beans sprouts, sliver carrots, and peanuts. It has many textures! Papaya salad - tangy, salty fish sauce ( but not fishy), slight crunch when chewing the green papaya. Stuff Chicken wings - crunchy outside, warm stuffing had chicken, mushrooms, long rice, carrots wrapped around the bone. It came out piping hot with a hoisin sauce? Nonetheless, it's to die for... Come on down! Ciao! read more

Very good and tasty Thai food and fast delivery. Also a good eat-in spot. I would definitely use this place again and again.

Nice, clean atmosphere. Service was average. My favorites are spring rolls and pad Thai. Had the spring roll. Rolls itself were not presentable. It did not look like the traditional/ other ones I am used to. No flavor without the sauce Disappointing read more

My husband and I always eat here every year when we stay at Ko Olina and have enjoyed the food, but this year was so bad! I don't know if it's under new management or a new chef but I will not return. read more

Flavorful and delicious, we love this spot. Never disappoints. Sometimes it gets really busy here for obvious reasons. Favorite dishes here is the larb, tom Kai ga, Thai sausage and satay. read more

People kept talking about this place and I finally got to go here. I ordered my usual which is green curry with tofu. It was a lot more "home made" in terms of the vegetables that came with the curry. I like bamboo shoots and there were none in this. It's almost like they put in the leftover vegetables from some other dish. I thought it was ok, but I am not a Thai food expert so take what I say with a grain of salt. I liked the green curry from Bangkok chef, Siam Garden Cafe and Phuket Thai a lot better. read more

I used to hit this place up all the time back in high school, so when I was in Kapolei recently and was craving Thai food- I knew exactly the spot! We checked out their menu online and called in our order of seafood green curry, stuffed chicken wings, and a order of sticky rice. The total was around $45 after tip and our order was ready within 15 minutes. The parking lot was a bit crazy, ( I think because the tattoo shop nearby was offering $50 flash tattoos for Halloween), so I circled the lot as my friend jumped out and grabbed our food. My favorite is their stuffed chicken wings. Total game-changer. Imagine the love child of a chicken wing and a spring roll. That's what you get--deboned chicken wings packed with ground chicken and herbs, etc. Crunch factor? 10/10. Don't forget to dip it in that sweet chili sauce. The green curry was flavorful, with some shrimp, mussels, and white fish. But let me tell you, the unsung hero here was the eggplant. Super flavorful and just soaked up that curry goodness like a sponge. The reason why I would come here a lot in High School was because my brother and his girlfriend were always on some diet (Paleo, GF, and whatnot) and this spot was able to accommodate. read more

Originally, we stopped at the Pearl city location. This is one of our favorite Thai restaurants. Got their a few minutes before the 11 am. opening. A few minutes after 11 am. the open sign was turned on. A worker was bringing out the Thai statues to decorate the entrance. He asked me If we were going to dine in. I said yes, he then told me they have no cook. He then went inside and turned off the open sign. In a short discussion with the wife, we decided to come to Kapolei. The restaurant is located two doors down from My Café. The food turned out to be good. Although they didn't have pineapple to make the pineapple Curry, which I was craving. I substituted red Curry with chicken. Flavor the Curry was spot on. The chicken was a little dry. Drunkin noodles, another favorite, had a stronger shoyu taste than PC . My wife loved the fried rice with shrimp. Only, concern would be the parking. Not enough 3 hrs. parking stalls. There were three other vehicles looking for parking with me. Enjoy read more

I got 4 pork sticks n 1 fried chicken wing for $30 + with tax at a recent market event. Then I went back later same event for something else and the cashier lady tells the person in front of me that the pork sticks was buy 4 get 1. I ask the cashier why she lied to me and she says she would've given me 5. I said I wouldn't lie when I got 4 (2 for each of my kids). Such a dishonest thing to do and it really ruined my perspective of them. Never again. read more

Very nice place to go if you want to eat cheap, fast and tasty. If you're not a big eater, you can order 1 soup for 2 people, the portions are very big. Their chef is from Thailand. I asked our server about it. Will be back when I come to Oahu next time. read more

Hit and miss! 2 really great experiences, 1 was ok and 1 most recent one was terrible. Not sure if this matters but both good experiences were during dinner time so maybe the chef and staff are different at night. The server in the afternoon is super disinterested and provides very subpar service. Same with the chef, it's almost like they're just mixing random stuff together when not busy. Our pad kee mao was garlicky and dry which is not what you'd expect. The evening server is great and also the manager I think. He takes care of you and makes sure you like the food and even remembered us on our repeat visits. Also much busier and lively in the evening compared to afternoons. Always ordered their Green Curry Fried Rice & Pad Kee Mao. Make sure the server hears your order correctly. We never order Thai spicy, just spicy. Not only did they make our dish Thai spicy to a point where we couldn't eat it, but they also charged us more for it. It was pretty inedible to the point that both my wife and I had physical reactions to spice (I had nose bleed and she had ringing in her ear). The only thing the server could offer in her defense was a pretty superficial "sorry". We were charged $15.95 for fried rice and $14.95 for their pad kee mao but this really should've been $13.95 each based on their menu prices. Also they charged us $5.25 for thai iced tea and coffee, both of which were priced at $4.95 in their menu and in store specials board. No correction, no sorry. Tax was extra which is fine. We left having drank both the drinks with a nosebleed and barely having touched our food and threw it out later as it was simply inedible. We both really like this place but not sure now if we'll return. Maybe one more time in the evening to give it a best out of 5 chance. read more

I've Said This Before And I'll Say It, Again! "THIS IS THE BEST THAI FOOD ON THE ISLAND OF O'AHU!!!" This Establishment Only Has About 8 Tables. Expect A Wait If You Go At Peak Times. We Showed Up Around 6:45pm With A Party Of 4. They Took My Phone Number And Told Me It Would Be A 25 Minute Wait! Her Timing Was Right. BYOB, So I Bought Beers At The Has Station In The Same Parking Lot. I Got A Call Around 7:25PM. We Sat Down And Ordered. Always Order The Papaya Salad LAO-STYLE!!! So Good!
