The food was fresh , delicious and amazing! After our meal the owner of the restaurant insisted on cutting up our white pineapple we bought at the farmers market, so we could eat it at the beach. They went the extra yard. Eat here ! It’s a take out place but there are a couple tables.

Gigantic portions! Pad see ew was different from what I’m used to (thinner noodles) but very tasty. Didn’t have egg so I think it was vegan?? Green curry was surprisingly flavorful and tofu was excellent. Papaya salad was also very good and fresh. The avocado I got with it was soooo creamy!!!

Had great experience for vegetarian dishes they served. Pad Thai was our favorite with correct spice level and flavors were so delicious! Papaya salad was very fresh and refreshing! Summer rolls were great! I would definitely recommend this place.

The best Thai food over ever had. The green papaya salad is life changing, the summer rolls are the size of your head and the green curry is amazing. Can’t go wrong.

Amazing place! We got the green papaya salad and asked for tofu on top which they kindly added and also had the tom yum which was soooo delicious . Honestly healing. The restaurant was recently bought by a couple in December of 2022 (I unfortunately didn’t ask their names) and the woman has been cooking her whole life and for various local places around Hilo.
