Best cosmo.
Sandy C.

A great find outside of Volcanos National Park. Family run. Incredible service, super clean and great food. One of the best Cosmos I've ever had-superb. Don't miss this gem. They also have a "Western Menu" in case you have picky eaters in your group. Love this place.

Tom Yang soup

I've been looking for nice Asian food for my parents while traveling in Big island. I could choose restaurants very limited because they have very picky tastes. They wanted try American or Italian or Chinese or etc but seems like they didn't really like it. I found this place on the Yelp. Looks nice My family was enjoying this place food. Maybe we choose great menu. I really recommend this place whoever visit volcano area. Papaya salad was really great and this is my all the time favorite menu anywhere else but this place papaya salad was outstanding. Tom yam soup also outstanding but a bit small plate. Pad Thai was great too. Thai iced tea was so so. Very big restaurant but very quiet place. Our waitress was super friendly. Definitely go back this place again if I travel to here again.

Decor is cute

A classic third generation owned and operated Thai restaurant. Pride in quality authentic Thai cuisine and cleanliness. This is by far the best Thai restaurant on island. I live two hours away; as a lifetime resident I am not in a hurry to grab and go my dining offerings. I love to sit inside; look at the photos of the family history and smell the smells of fresh lemon grass, bayleaf and all of the aromatics used in this scrumptious bowl of Thom Gah Soup. The sticky rice is divine. Service from Pan and family, precise. Slow food. Be kind. These are beautiful people with Aloha. I will always return time and again to Thai Thai Bar and Bistro. The finest authentic Thai island-wide.

Pineapple fried rice w chicken

This is a weekly spot for us. It's my comfort food. It's my safe place. This place is pricy! But If you are visiting the park you don't have many options in the area. Dishes are full of flavor. Plenty of food to fill you up. All the meats are ono. Shrimps are huge and they give you a lot of them. Chicken is tender and delicious. Mahi is good as well. Firm white fish. Small hot is quite spicy. some days are hotter than others. Highly recommend the soups. My only complaint is getting 1/3 of the container aromatics. For $25 I would be able to eat all of it. The fried wontons and spring rolls are NOT worth it in my opinion.

Chicken pad thai
Anna L.

Overpriced for mediocre Thai food but they are one of the only restaurant to still be open in the evening. The Thai iced tea was delicious but the food was not. I had the chicken pad thai which was average and bland. My partner had the pad kee mao but beware that their medium spicy is very spicy.

pad thai, green papaya salad
Sarah C.

we got the green papaya salad ($17) and the pad thai ($25) and unfortunately I wouldn't say they were worth the 40 minute wait (takeout only). the pad thai was kind of hard and so was the green papaya. bonus points for the huge portions though

Ambience
Gaurav M.

Amazing food and excellent service! The mahi mahi green curry was full of flavor, and we loved the crispy spring rolls so much we ordered another to go. The staff was friendly and welcoming awesome hospitality and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Tastes good but pricey. Still much better than the food trucks in the area though. If you are in volcano, I think a visit is worth it.

We ordered the risotto, fresh catch (marlin), crispy rice, gnocchi, and finished off with the mac nut ganache mascarpone pots de crème. We did share a Lemon peel lemonade cocktail. The Lemon peel lemonade was basically spiked lemonade. Well balanced for being a tart oriented drink, but I didn't care for the floating bits. The risotto which comes in full and half order, was very rich and had chunks of mushrooms for flavor. We're glad we got the half as this was a heavy, rich, and cheesy entrée on its own. If you love risotto, you will love this dish. The marlin was perfectly cooked and balanced out with a locally inspired vegetable succotash. Fried bits of kalo were also added in for added texture. The special and new item, the gnocchi was the star of the show. This is by far the fluffiest gnocchi we've ever had. Crispy on the outside, little potato clouds of fluff on the inside. The gnocchi came over a tasty sauce with bits of fried onion for absolute perfection. The crisp rice was recommended by Yelpers and it was alright, crispy rice with a spoon of poke. Not bad, but did not live up to the hype. Get another order of the gnocchi instead. It's fairly rare to see pots de crème on restaurant menus, specials or not, so we had to get this. It came in a cute little glass jar, with rich chocolate and mascarpone flavor with a hint of mac nut. This desert was an absolutely delicious perfect end to the meal. You can make reservations online, street parking is quite limited, and it can get busy as the night goes on, so recommended to get an earlier dinning time. Staffs regularly checked in on us and were polite and efficient.

But Peppercorn spice house marked every single one of my boxes and im so happy that we took a chance and gave them a try and it was worth every penny. First we ordered the olive fried rice with shrimp ( i want to note that EVERYTHING, I MEAN EVERYTHING came out piping hot and fresh) i appreciated that sooo much. The fried rice was to die for 10/10 it didn't even need the shrimp added to it , savory just the right amount of portions for two people too. We also ordered the garlic string beans the string beans were cooked perfectly not soggy and had a good flavor with the garlic. The last thing we ordered was the mongolian beef the beef was ono and i loved the onions it had a nice al dente texture that i personally love. It's ala carte and all dishes come with rice on the side. Service was great, our waters were filled promptly and although our food came out fresh and hot we didn't even have to wait long for our meal. And the restaurant was very clean . I will be back again .

I really enjoyed it - so light and different. My husband's steak unfortunately wasn't so great, kind of tough and overcooked. Our server was so great, she recognized it right away and took it back to the chef and took it off our bill. He didn't really want to try again so he just had another pancake instead. Those were yummy. I would definitely come here again - definitely great service and ambiance.

We ordered the short rib kimchi fried rice (after looking at Yelp recs!) and the pho combo with short rib. The prices definitely are more steep here but I would say they do include a TON of short rib meat that are super tender and fall off the bone. So I would say the prices definitely is worth it. There was ample seating and you order at the cashier. Service is quick as well. We did order a drink but it didn't really taste like any fruit. So I wouldn't recommend the fruit drinks as much.

The short rib is slow-cooked for 12 hours, and you can absolutely tell--the meat practically fell off the bone without any effort. The portions were very generous, which was exactly what we needed the night before a big paddling race! Everyone in our group really enjoyed their food. What impressed me even more was the service. I accidentally left my retainer on the table wrapped in a napkin and didn't realize it until about 30 minutes after we left. I called the restaurant, and the team was kind enough to actually search through the trash for it--and they found it! Anyone who has a retainer knows how expensive and difficult they can be to replace, so I was incredibly grateful that they were willing to go that far to help me. That level of care says a lot about the people here. Great food, generous portions, and a team that genuinely takes care of their guests. Thank you for an excellent meal and especially for going so far above and beyond for me!
