Dyed red noodles. No sweetness, sourness or even saltiness. Avoid the chicken pad Thai.

Food was bland and red?? Ive seen orange and brown but not red pad Thai. Waited over half an hour for clumpy, dry, sauceless noodles. The chicken was dry with the same lack of flavour. Avoid based on my experience, food made me feel sick and didn't finish it. Shame I walked to my hotel before opening it.

Summer roll - pork
Christina C.

I ordered 2 summer rolls: the crispy lemongrass chicken and pork. It was $30. Very over priced for 4 summer rolls (appetizer). There was no line at this food truck but I waited a long time before getting my order. There was barely any meat and it was not flavorful. Just stuffed full of vegetables. Crispy lemongrass was dry and just tasted like a chicken tender.

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.

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.

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

This place is way larger than it seems from the outside! They have a really cute back garden area…read morewhere you can sit and have dinner. I was honestly surprised when they took us back there to our seats because I didn't realize the space was that big. I ordered the beef pad see ew, and I'll be honest, I was a little sad when it came out because the portion felt pretty small for $18. The other dishes seemed like they were a lot larger. I also split the crab omelet, which was good! I tried the Evil Curry too. It wasn't extremely spicy, but it definitely had enough of a kick that I don't think I could eat the whole thing in one sitting. They also have free karaoke in the main room for anyone interested, which is a fun addition! Overall, I gave this place a 4 because the people were nice, and I liked that you could choose between the cute garden patio or the karaoke area. The food was decent. Nothing amazing for me, but still good overall. I will say, if you're specifically looking for pad see ew, my favorite is still King of Thai Boat Noodles!

One of my favorite late night eateries that ISN'T fast food! I love that they are open until 2am!…read moreIt's so hard to find good food after 10:00pm. Everything about this place is amazing... except maybe parking, but that's usually always a problem in Honolulu. However, I always get orders to-go, so I just end up parking on the street, picking up, and going on my merry way. If you decide to dine in, the ambiance is super cute with both indoor and outdoor seating. Last time I was there, they were expanding the outdoor seating. They also have a bar with bar seating inside. Their Pad Thai is perfect! Nice and moist without being soggy and definitely not dry. I like to request a side of yellow curry, which they usually accommodate because I like to dip my noodles in it. Service is always quick and simple.

Haven't had Thai food in a while so we voted to come here, especially since Market City parking…read morewasn't too bad. We opted for family style since we wanted to have different things and went for: -Pad see iew with tofu (very flavorful but portion was a bit on the smaller side... I thought they gave more before..) -Papaya salad (crunchy, fresh, and tart) -Sticky rice -Yellow Curry with chicken (delicious & coconut didn't overpower) -House fried chicken (crispy, juicy... and most pieces were boneless). We warmed up a little with the medium spice level papaya salad...and they don't mess around with their spices here. Thai spice is way more of an intense, painful heat than Korean chili peppers (in my opinion!). This dish even made my spice tolerant friend sweat a little but couldn't stop eating because everything was packed with flavor. Service was fast - I would definitely come back here (and maybe bring a jacket). At least I know the AC works here!

My partner fell in LOVE with this place so we stopped sampling what's around and kept returning here. You cannot beat the space. This is the old Garlic Ninikuya location, the converted house on Waialae across from Times and Longs, that has the tree planted in the middle of the house. Seating is outside or inside, but we prefer outside. It gives oasis, even though you're right on a busy street, you feel like you've been transported someplace exotic as the tree and plants are accented with an. eclectic East Asian decor. The food is generous, although some of the plating can read pedestrian. We always get the Panang curry and try a different curry or dish along with it. The pricing is a dollar or two under most of the Thai restaurants around. Have I had better Thai food? Sure. But for an overall experience I so much prefer the serene setting here, as well as hearty portions, kind service, BYOB option, and supporting an independently run Kaimuki eatery. The food is good, I'd give it a 4. The atmosphere is a 5. Definitely do dine in. Fun as a pair or with a group.

I used to come here for lunch often some years ago and always loved it but they were so busy that they were not very attentive. Dinner time apparently is different in that the servers were very attentive and refilled water and checked on us. We had so many delicious dishes from Tom Kha soup and cucumber salad to drunken noodles, fried chicken, steamed ginger fish, shrimp and eggplant, and pad Thai. It was all delicious and perfectly balanced. I especially like their spice caddy which contains chopped Thai chilis so we could all share the dishes at a reasonable spice level and I could add them to my portions to my liking and I like it blazingly HOT. I love Thai food and I love this restaurant.

My favorite Thai food on the island!…read more In my humble opinion, Siam Garden Cafe has some of the best Thai food on the island. I've been to Thailand a couple of times, and every time I eat here, the flavors take me right back. I bring guests here all the time, and I always hear high praise. Everything we've tried has been delicious, the Tom Yum, Tom Kha, fried chicken, Pad Thai, papaya salad... honestly, you can't go wrong! The flavors are authentic, comforting, and seriously ono. If you love Thai food, or you've never tried Siam Garden Cafe before, GO HERE. NOW! You can thank me later.
