    Food truck
    John N.

    Got the line matcha lemon grass tea. Very refreshing and made quick. The girl in the window answered my questions and was very kind. Outdoor seating can't go wrong. This truck has a little of everything recommend this spot as well. Not as much plastic grass on these tables.

    The food is outstandingly delicious! Fresh ingredients, beautifully plated and playfully tempts the awaiting palate! When they say you eat with your eyes first, they aren't kidding and here? Both eyes and appetites are vehemently satisfied! So dam ono!! Warm and inviting atmosphere, lovely table service, prompt, informative, helpful and quite attentive. I rarely dine out and usually opt for pickup, but I have since dined in with a friend, my boss and coworker on separate occasions and love doing office orders on payday Fridays. Can't wait to take my son and mom out here soon. The Banh mi's are great! My favorites are the yellow curry and definitely the vermicelli spring roll salad with lemongrass chicken, oh my! Chicken Pad See Ew is on point as well. I'll return again and again they are that good. I hope they couple up with a delivery service soon. I would love to enjoy their delicious food for when the body is under the weather. Much aloha and support and congratulations to the owners! Keep up the excellent standards of food and service! Mahaaaaaalo!

    I was in Waikiki and stopped by the food trucks by Ohana Hale. I saw that Viet808 was serving Thai Mango Sticky Rice $11. I had a craving for it and tried it out. It was delicious and served warm. The mango was sweet and the sticky rice was perfect. The sweetened coconut sauce was so good. I wished that they gave more sauce, but that's just me. I like my mango sticky rice drenched.

    Satay Chicken, 4 sticks...order darker sauce on side if you're not into so much sauce.

    Lemon grass chicken Bahn mi Sandwich pretty large and tasty! Papaya salad dressing is very generous Did I mention Kama'aina discount The wait was a little long, after reviewing some of the other comments, just adjust for the time you'll have to wait, in my opinion it was worth it...bummed that the mango dessert was out, clearly it's delicious.

    We usually do takeout and then go to the beach: This Place is always fire!! Local gem that opened recently. Used to be a food truck. Fried chicken is always crispy. Pho is always aromatic. Veggies are always fresh. Can't go wrong! 10/10

    If I could give this place no stars, I would. This is the chicken they tried to serve me. As I voiced my concern, some old lady came out of the food truck and insisted this is how they make it. I swear she started arguing with me when I tried to return it. I repeatedly said I didn't want it and she kept insisting I try it. Really?? What ever happened to common courtesy? Do not eat here!

    First off the ambiance when we first walked in... such a vibe! Food was AMAZING! Not pictured, their sweet potato tapioca, chefs kiss! The owners were so sweet, 10/10 service. My husband and I can't wait to go back to try other things on the menu! Restaurant Location: WAIANAE

    We decided to try this food truck today. The serve a mix of good with vegetarian options. Hubby had the crispy noodle with tofu dish. It very savory and delicious. The vegetables were very fresh and cooked just right. I had the orange tofu. Once again the veggies were fresh and perfect. The orange sauce was just right and it came as a dipping sauce with our veggie spring rolls which were perfectly crispy. I also had the strawberry lemonade which was really refreshing and hubby had the Thai tea. It had a nice mild flavor. Usually you get an over sweetened Thai tea at many places. But this was just right. The prices were as expected for Waikiki Beach area. The food was cooked quickly and the staff were very friendly. This is in an area with many food trucks so your dinning experience is at picnic tables with umbrellas.

    Sticky Mango wings

    Excellent Food !!!! Discovered this Their Pineapple Fried rice is to die for Full of Flavors also not to be missed is the Pad Thai and the Thai sticky Chicken wings . Very Fresh food The shrimps are so fresh and juicy and the customer service is excellent. They are located in a food truck park at the end of the parking lot Highly recommended Not to be missed on anyone's visit to Honolulu

    Crispy Chicken Salad

    Awesome Food! My wife has been planning on trying this place for awhile and finally made it there last night. We got takeout. The portions were huge and the food was delicious. Highly Recommend the Crispy Chicken Salad and the Stir Fried Udon Noodles with Beef. So Good!!

Honestly, I wish they had a more healthier…read moreand safe location like somewhere with no shishi smell, like outside of Chinatown or something lol but oh well. It is what it is. Their restaurant is so cool tho. Upon walking in, you sign in if needed, wait to be seated. As you walk in, there's a pretty decor, I would say photo opp, but there's a table and stuff blocking. They should clear that area, so people can take pictures with it lol but when you get seated, you walk through, and they take you to the back for outdoor seating. There is no indoor seating. They have the commercial tents, and pretty outdoor decor out there too, like lights and stuff. And there's a koi pond. Bathroom is back there. The only sucky part is if it was to rain hard or have strong winds, I wonder how they deal with that. But make sure you go when it's nice weather. It's BYOB!! They have a good amount of seating too. Our go to for Olay's is the Lao style papaya salad. We eat it with chicharon, and I think they have option to order a side chicharon, but we were prepared and went store before heading over to buy bag chicharon and they allowed it for us instead of spending the same amount for a handful, you get more when you BYOBC - bring your own bag chicharon lol I just made that up. If it's BYOB, I'm sure they'll allow it. We eat that with sticky rice. Omg so bomb. I like to get the stuffed chicken wings, we ordered the calamari. Was good. We got yellow chicken curry. The wife wanted to try the beef jerky, she likes it. We take the sticky rice and roll it in to a ball, and dip it in the bagooong papaya salad sauce and even the curry. Eat it with the papaya salad and stuffed chicken!! Omg so good! One thing I forgot to mention, they are located in the heart of Chinatown, on hotel street, so you gotta find parking. Street parking or pay for public parking. Would we come here again, definitely! 10/10 recommend. Check out Olay's for your Lao food fix!

    Came in craving Thai food and it absolutely hit the spot…read more The beef pad krapow was so flavorful -- perfectly seasoned with that bold, savory-spicy kick and fragrant basil. The beef was tender, and the heat level was just right (spicy but still balanced). So good over rice. The chicken panang curry was rich, creamy, and comforting. The curry sauce had that slightly sweet, nutty depth with just the right amount of spice. The chicken was tender, and the sauce was honestly spoon-worthy. We also ordered the summer rolls, which were fresh and light -- packed with crisp veggies and herbs. Dipped in peanut sauce, they were the perfect refreshing starter before the richer dishes. And Peter was a great waiter -- friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. Service definitely elevated the experience. Everything tasted fresh and well-executed. Great flavors, generous portions, and super satisfying overall. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving solid Thai comfort food.

    This place was recommended to me, so when I was craving Thai and needed to carbo-load for a race,…read moreit was a no brainer. It was time to give Pattaya a try. This, however, will probably be my first and last visit. The place is cute enough, with a large back garden area where I chose to dine. Service was also great. I appreciate the little button at the table that I could click for service. The food, however, was mediocre at best. My friend and I ordered the pad Thai with tofu, ginger chicken, chicken satay, and pork larb. The pad Thai was the best dish, but it was very tomatoey, which I did not expect. The chicken with ginger had very little chicken. It was mostly julienned vegetables, including celery which I do not care for. The chicken satay was kinda dry and most certainly needed the peanut sauce to make it palatable. The larb was very dry with very bland flavor, served on one lettuce leaf and a wedge of cabbage. How am I supposed to eat that? All of it was quite disappointing, especially for the price point. As I was eating this meal I remembered the Thai food truck at the end of Ward, where Fisherman's Pier used to be. Now THAT was some good Thai food. I guess that was the best thing about this meal-remembering where I could get really good Thai food-so that the next time I'm having a craving, I can go back over there...I hope it's still there.

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.

    Red Elephant & Thairish Cuisine - A Fresh New Chapter Red…read moreElephant & Thairish Cuisine is a beautiful evolution of a longtime favorite. There's a fresh energy here while still honoring the authentic Thai flavors that made this place so special. The food is consistently outstanding. My favorites are the larb, perfectly seasoned with fresh herbs and just the right kick, and the chicken basil, bold, savory, and cooked to perfection. The papaya salad is incredibly fresh with that perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy. The tom yum is rich and comforting with a vibrant citrusy heat, and the Thai iced tea with lime is refreshing and unique--such a perfect pairing with the meal. And you absolutely can't leave without the mango sticky rice--sweet, creamy, and the perfect finish to an amazing dining experience. What really stands out is the care behind everything--from the quality of the food to the warm, attentive service. You can feel the pride and intention in every detail. Red Elephant & Thairish Cuisine is not just continuing a legacy--it's elevating it. Highly recommend supporting this new chapter!

    *3.5* due to protein quantity…read more Came here on the weekend shortly after opening, Not too busy. Service was friendly and fast. Had to order the special - appetizer which was more like a main dish size surprisingly - crispy fried rice salad. Sooo good. Crispy rice with a hint of citrus acidity mixed in at the end. Could do with more lime on top as well. crunchy texture pairs well. Also tried the evil jungle curry - with chicken - curry sauce was good with coconut milk packed in. not spicy at medium, would consider thai hot next time. very small quantity of chicken, but had other veggies in there. Would like to see more appropriate protein amount in dish. Lastly tried the pad kee mao - at first sight - the noodle seems more pale and bright then what I was expecting. However, the flavor was still there despite the color. Ordered with the shrimp - had maybe 4 pieces. Again should have more in quantity. Noodle texture was just right and bouncy and chewy.

We caught it right away and asked about it, and she said she had already included a tip in the total, without ever asking us. We never told her how much we wanted to tip, so it felt pretty shady that she just added one on her own and then still gave us the option to tip again. If we hadn't been paying attention and just tapped a tip option, we would've ended up overpaying. What's weird is that we had eaten here just a couple days earlier and everything was normal. The total matched, and we tipped on our own. No one added anything extra without asking. If this had been our first time, we probably would've assumed gratuity was automatically included and not thought twice about it. When we brought that up, the waitress suddenly acted like she didn't understand us, even though she had been communicating perfectly fine before. She walked away and got another staff member, who told us tipping is optional and then in a rude tone, asked, "So what do you want to do?" We still tipped in the end because we know service jobs aren't easy, but the whole situation just felt icky. Like how could you try to scam your own customers? Definitely left a bad impression, and it looks like others have had similar experiences if you look at the 1& 2 stars reviews. Makes me wonder how many people this has happened to without knowing.
