    6. Fried Chicken 7. Fried Calamari
    Nicole C.

    Somehow the quality is the best at this location! Food is always consistent and I love that. Our go to order: combo pho, fried ckn, fried calamari, and panang curry. Sometimes we will add the spring roll or pad thai. The combo they have with the pho and thai ice coffee or thai tea and spring rolls is also a great way to get a little of everything. Dine in or take out you cant go wrong. Staff is always friendly. Parking is always available

    I was craving so good red curry and I found it! We did not dine in, just ordered take out! Restaurant looked clean and well decorated. Service was so quick and kind. Made sure we had everything we needed. The spring rolls were sooo yummy! I wish I order 2 of those instead of getting the calamari. My daughter truly enjoyed her chicken pad Thai ! She said it was one the best so far here. As for me the red curry was just what I was craving HOT spicy full of flavor with good chicken bits and veggies.

    6. Fried Chicken

    I love love Thai village and ALL their locations. If you're craving for Thai food this is the place to go! They have friendly and over the top customer service and really great food. There is also lots of seating for a big group of people or to just grab a bite. My go to's: Thai ginger soup w/ tofu - A creamy but sour soup that literally heals me when I take my first sip. Papaya salad (Laos style) - A crunch umami salad Lao sausage - A flavorful sausage so comparable to a Filipino vigan longanisa but with more flavor and spices Pad Thai - This is popular for a reason Pad woon sen - A glass noodle dish, if you love pad Thai you'll also love this Writing this review is already making me hungry.

    We had a nice nite dining at Thai Village . Haven't eaten here in awhile so it was great to come back and eat. We were not disappointed with the food either. We ordered the green papaya salad ... Fried Chicken ... Pad Thai with tofu ... Garlic Ong Choy and summer rolls . Everything was delicious and portions were perfect for four of us . It wasn't very busy the nite we went so service was very fast . My sister was from out of town so we sat and ate and chatted all nite till the restaurant closed . Staff was very nice and helpful and didn't mind us for staying so long . It was a great place to eat and chat !

    My family loves coming here. The food is authentic using high quality ingredients. You can go wrong, all the dishes are made with love and prepared well. The service is also amazing. Warm and welcoming atmosphere.

    My mother and I came here last night for dinner. It was after 5pm and it wasn't busy. We ordered fish cake, shrimp salad, fried rice with Tofu(spicy)and spring rolls. I asked for plik nam pla(Thai condiment sauce)and it was good. One of the YouTubers I follow has Thai cooking videos and she said if the restaurant don't have plik nam pla, don't eat there. The food were so delicious and our server was very nice and attentive. I will definitely return!!

    We got 2 orders of take out! The food was delicious! The serving size was a bit less than we expected and it seems we get more when dining in. The place is well kept and clean.

    I still love coming here for Thai food. Food is good and consistent. I typically get the pad si ewe or the udon middle soup which comes with a drink a three spring rolls. Food is delicious and worth it here. The service was pretty good here and the servers are nice. It's clean inside and has a when it's hot outside. They have so much on their menu. Highly recommend the calamari too. So good as an appetizer. Everything is good here. Check them out. You will thank me.

    Brown and Jasmine Rice

    Decided to try this place as we've never been to any of the Thai Village restaurants. Located in the Waimalu Shopping Plaza, plenty of parking. Walked into a nicely cooled place which was nice since it was a hot day. We were greeted with How many? Sit anywhere you like. That person was also our server, she was pleasant, but not really personable. So of course we were comparing this place to other Thai restaurants we go to. Our daughter said how much she loves this place and has to go whenever she is in town and a coworker of my husband also said it's good. Our order: Papaya Salad - Plain, shredded papaya and carrot, tomato, cabbage? And a piece of lettuce with the sauce poured on top, you know the sauce with vinegar, fish sauce, sugar. We're used to having more stuff in it, like bean sprouts, Thai basil. Spring Rolls - It was nice and hot, but not to my liking. It was wrapped in rice paper which gave it a chewy texture, I prefer the wrapper like the lumpia wrapper, fried crispy. Served with lettuce, cucumber and mint leaves with the same sauce on the papaya salad only with some chopped peanuts added to it. Panang Curry with Chicken - I enjoyed this the most, but still prefer other restaurants. We like that it looked as if they use chicken breast sliced thin, onions green peppers and string beans. Sauce was more on the thin side with a good spicy peanutty taste, but my husband prefers when you can taste more of the coconut milk. Brown Rice & Jasmine Rice - brown rice was not like a regular brown rice and the Jasmine rice was nice fluffy and hot. No Mango Sticky Rice, our fav Thai place in Kapolei seems to always have it when we go. So no dessert for us this time. My husband said the bathroom was clean. It was just ok for us.

    Thai Village - Waimalu Overall: **** Recommended **** Food: *** Value: *** Menu: **** Ambiance: **** Service: **** Parking: ***** lots right in front, free Conveniently located next to our hairdresser, we find ourselves enjoying a lunch at Thai VIllage - Waimalu quite frequently. We've tried many dishes (see ratings below) and the food has been good to ok. Thai Village has five locations, four between Waimalu to Mililani. They are currently using the same dry chicken crumbles as Bangkok Chef, not chicken thighs, so I would order dishes with other meats or seafood. When I recently viewed their Menu on Yelp, I was shocked at their prices. However, the prices are Grub Hub's hugely marked up prices, not the true restaurant's prices. For example, Grub Hub adds approximately $8 on the Pad Thai Noodles and $10 on the Fried Calamari. When I mentioned it to the restaurant owner, she wasn't even aware of this. Be careful for marked-up prices with 3rd party menus! I usually call the restaurants for take out to avoid any possible fees. RATINGS & RECOMMENDED ORDER: Basil Stir-fry w/ fish fillet = B Spring Rolls = B Spicy Fish Fillet = C Fried Calamari = C Eggplant Stir-fry w/ pork = C Pad Kee Mao = C Pad See Ew w/ chicken = C Summer Rolls = C Garlic Curry = C Pad Thai = C Yelp: https://yelp.to/AVdLx071J4 Website: https://hawaiithaivillage.com/ Google: https://maps.app.goo.gl/G3zLd37vu1VWnhba9?g_st=ic YELP: Milton K Sorry! They allow only one 12 second video & the remaining to 3 seconds, with maximum of 10 pictures/videos.

    Thai tea
    Traci T.

    Still one of my favorite Thai restaurants. Just wanted to update my review (STILL AT 5 STARS FOR ME) because I tried a new dish that completely blew me away. Curry pad thai...talk about bringing two dishes together to make one terrific dish! This is my new GO-TO at Thai Village and not something I've seen at other Thai restaurants. It's a step up from your regular pad thai and gives it a little kick with the curry flavoring. While the pricing may be a little higher than other Thai restaurants, everything I get from here is always top notch. You get quality with your food. I've also recently tried the calamari. I don't recommend getting it for take out because it's probably better eaten fresh. While it still tastes good as take out, it loses its crunchiness by the time you open it up at home. I do not recommend the cashew chicken. My boyfriend really wanted to try it, but I did not find it to my liking at all. Not a whole lot of flavor and it's quite liquidy. Pass. Thai tea is still a winner here. I always add it on to my order when I come here.

    51. Rad Nah
    Deez J.

    On my way home from an appointment, I sat inside for lunch to satisfy my craving for Rad Nah. Of course, I had to ask for a takeout container. The flavor was tasty - could have used more broccoli though. I added more when I had it for leftovers. Clean and well-kept with a mellow ambience. First time eating inside. A good spot for lunch. Carol's mom helped me this time. She was just as pleasant and welcoming. She was nice enough to hold my takeout while I made a quick run to Safeway. She mentioned that Carol is training on the mainland for a year and will be managing a poplar Waikiki hotel when she returns.

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.

    We went there for lunch it was the first time going there…read more 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.

She loves going to temples and loves Thai food so I definitely was excited to explore this temple together. Based on the address on Yelp, I got lost for a good 10-15 minutes. I almost gave up but luckily spotted it and had to do a U turn and we finally arrived. So I arrived 10 minutes before the food stalls closed but honestly they stayed opened a bit longer than their closing time. As I saw ppl arrive even later and was able to still make purchases. I do have to say that they do start cleaning, and not everything is available as things were being sold out. They have a table for you to grab utensils and condiments. There are some tables you can sit and eat the food that you purchase. Most of the food I purchased was about $10 each. And you pay each stall that you are at. My mom and I enjoyed everything we ordered, if only we were staying in Hawaii more days, we would definitely come back or even order more. The hard part is that they do not have a website and they are not open every Sunday either. So try calling or just randomly go and pray that it will be opened. I honestly really enjoyed my visit. Both a cool temple to go see and being able to eat authentic Thai food it was an extra bonus. 2 thumbs up from this Yelper. I highly recommend coming here if you have not been. Ordered: *Fried Bananas *Papaya Salad (you can request how spicy you want this) *Pork noodle soup *Sugar Cane Juice *Fish Cake *Water Bottle $1 *Pork spare rib Tips: *Cash Only *Restroom available. *Outside temple street parking in the dirt or pull in and try your luck to find parking.

    Placed an order for takeout at this location by mistake, but it worked out well enough because the…read morefood at this location was comparable to the one closer to us. We ordered the pad Thai, panang curry, fried chicken and pork spring rolls. They double fried the chicken so it was extra crispy and tasty! Panang, spring rolls and pad Thai were all pretty yummy as well. Good food and we had enough left over for another meal.

    My friend Daryl from the Bay Area was in town on a stopover from his Japan trip and was staying at…read morehis brother's house in Mililani. So I told him I would drive out and take him to lunch. After picking Daryl up in Mililani Mauka, he said his sister-in-law recommended we eat lunch at a Thai restaurant she didn't remember the name of. As everyone knows, I can eat Thai food any day, every day, so we Googled "Thai Restaurant" and ended up at Thai Village in Waipio Uka. Of course we parked at the end of the lot furthest from the restaurant but that's all right because we need the exercise. I have been to several other Thai Village locations and the food has been pretty good. Not so much at this one, though. We ordered the shrimp rolls, which are the uncooked ones. They were ok. Daryl had a major heart attack a couple years ago in Las Vegas so has been trying to eat a little healthier. We also ordered the green curry with chicken and the pad see ew with chicken. Both dishes were not thrilling. Of all the Thai Villages I have been to, this was not the one which I would consider the best. I think the ones in Aiea and Kapalama are a lot better.

    It was KISMET we ended up here! This was hands down one of the best Taiwanese restaurants I have…read moreever been to! My family was in the area to shop over at Crafts Way and I found Fooki on Yelp as a nearby food option. It had something for everyone in our group of seven: 2 vegetarians, 1 vegan and 4 meat eaters. The restaurant had a divy vibe, cozy and welcoming. The service was very friendly and the server was incredibly knowledgable about their menu and how what made some of their dishes stand out from what's expected. The Li Hing Mui Sweet Potato Fries are a must! They totally reminded me of my childhood and the kind of fries I'd get at the amusement park back in Taiwan. Here's everything we ordered. Every single item was a hit! -stewed egg -stewed tofu -Majiang noodles -Lu Rou Fan -Grandpa Rolling Beef -Scallion Pancake -Fooki Bao -Tofu Bao -Li Hing Mui Sweet Potato Fries -Veggie Scallion Noodles -Fooki Bowl -BoomBoom Chicken If we ever find ourselves back in Aiea again, we will be stopping in!

    I've always wanted to try this place because I love Taiwanese food. But maybe because I had such…read morehigh expectations, I was pretty disappointed with everything. First, the price was pretty high compared to the amount of food they served and the flavor of their menu. The pork rice bowl had way too much rice compared to the pork, and I think I only had half of the rice to eat with the pork on top. All the foods we ordered wasn't very flavorful either and they charged 3% for credit cards. The economy is tough right now so that may explain the card charge and the portion size but I don't think I'll be going to this place again. It was good to try but wasn't impressionable!

    Needed something quick to grab some we ended up here. There is parking in the front but make sure…read moreyou pull your car up all tje way because cars exit right behind your car and you dont wanna block the exit. Spring rolls- good and paired nicely with lettuce and mint. Green curry with chicken- wish i got it more spicy than medium. Chicken was tender and I enjoyed all the vegetables in there too. Pad see ew with beef - decent but not the best i had. Beef is pretty thin slices and id say most were tender. Broccoli was perfectly cooked. Definitely coming back for a quick tasty meal.

    Late night dinner…read more.. After a long day at work I was thoughtfully given tickets to a craft fair which I absolutely love and was thinking of going though between parking and entry can be costly but thank you to Crystal R for the thoughtfulness as that made a huge difference and gosh really enjoyed my night for sure. After much retail therapy for myself we were hungry and it was pretty late for a spot to find that's not closed and not fast food and remembered Nu'uanu Shopping Plaza nearby but mores Bangkok Chef was just around the corner. Since it was just about half hour to closing there was plenty of parking that right in front of the restaurant that's usually filled it couldn't be any easier as this wide open concept is unique but just love the thought of a nice hot meal. I got the Pad Ki Mao which say "medium spicy" but love that it comes with bean sprouts, and fresh basil and how it came pipping hot and how wonderful it was...lots of seating inside along with lots of colorful art as the Moili'ili location is closed it's nice to have other locations to settle my cravings along with a nice hot meal. Thank you!
