Great service, delicious food and good prices. Place is clean, good to eat at restaurant. My family and I got combination fried (no pork), cashew nut shrimp and seafood, pad si-eiw (chicken). Everything is highly recommended. You won’t regret it.
Sometimes it’s a hit or a miss with places like this but i can honestly say that I am glad we stumbled upon it! The food seemed decently authentic and had good flavor to them as well! We ordered it for take out and were treated nice by all the staff we encountered. The food didn’t take long to make either which was nice and they placed it in this perfect cardboard box that made it easy to bring home! Will definitely come back here again soon!
Great portions, good Thai flavor and spice! Quaint dine-in experience, one of the servers lacked customer service though, but for the price and food, I’d still rate it a 5.
First time ever trying Thai food and I have to say I lucked out with this place. My chili ginger sauce pork was amazing # 28 on the menu. Service was excellent and the staff was informative/attentive. I'ts my go to Thai spot now.🥡🥟🍜 …
Thai Cuisine Express offers some delicious dishes! I tried the Pad Thai and Panaang Curry, and both were fantastic. The Pad Thai was perfectly cooked with a nice balance of sweet and savory flavors, packed with tofu, bean sprouts, and topped with crunchy peanuts. The noodles had a great texture, and the dish was well-seasoned. The Panaang Curry was rich and creamy, with a lovely coconut base and just the right amount of spice. The tofu was cooked nicely, and the vegetables added a fresh crunch. Service was quick and friendly. If you're in the mood for some authentic Thai food, give Thai Cuisine Express a try!
A small authentic Thai restaurant. Plenty of indoor seating and parking is no issue. BYOB or they have tasty Thai tea and bottled water. Menu is simple and easy to understand. Nice decor with pictures of Thailand and Thai festivals. Chicken Satay was excellent, Papaya salad was great, Tom Yom Goong (shrimp) was the best we've had in the US. Pad Thai had a nice taste and portion was large. Very satisfied with the food and overall experience. Will return!
Absolutely, positively the most authentic and tasty Thai food on the entire island! How did we miss this amazing hole in the wall Thai restaurant all of these years?every dish is totally authentic and ingredients are as fresh as they come. The curries are to-die-for with an amazing aroma. We had crispy spring rolls with super crisp and fresh basil leaves and homemade sauces. if you are not Thai saavy, they have pictures on the wall matching each menu item which makes it really easy to better understand what you're ordering.
Great place for Thai food. Had the basil chili chicken. Delicious, good portions. Fast and friendly service. Came back for another meal. I would describe the place as tropical Thai restaurant. Had the Pad Thai, chicken wings, and pineapple Fried rice. Very large serving, freshly made, great taste. One of the best Thai places on the island. Go check them out.
Small Thai place close to Pearl Harbor memorial. The lady who served us was very courteous and accommodated our vegetarian and vegan dietary restrictions. Service time was pretty quick and food tasted good. Reasonable price compared to Honolulu or Waikiki. Parking was a bit hard to find since it is a part of crowded Asian market place. Exterior is filled with Asian food shops if interested in shopping. Must try Thai iced tea. We liked it so much we even took one to-go.
Great tasting authentic Thai food. We saw Mostly locals here. Satay chicken was amazing, Thai chicken fried rice tasted great as well, veggie spring rolls are the crunchiest we’ve had before. Friendly service as well.
