"Some of best Thai I've had! We were suggested to do the Crispy chicken with mango salad and dip into the Pang curry Mahi. That combo is 'da bomb. Great suggestion! And the pineapple fried rice was also fantastic. Food was amazing. And Pranee was cookin'."

"This place is phenomenal. I’ve eaten Thai food all over Thailand and the US and this is easily in the top. It’s so fresh, perfectly spiced to make my nose run but not totally smoke me out. They can make noodle dishes gluten free and other dishes are naturally GF - just ask, they were knowledgeable. The patio is cute and comfy. Don’t miss the Tomkha!!!"

"Great Thai spot tucked away in the jungle along the Road to Hāna. It ended up being one of our favorite food stops on the drive. Everything we ate was delicious, and I appreciated that they had good vegetarian options as well. After spending hours on the road, having flavorful food in a relaxed outdoor setting surrounded by greenery was perfect. The atmosphere felt casual and authentic, and it was a nice break from typical tourist stops. We’d absolutely stop again next time we drive the Road to Hāna."
