    This is a strip mall gem in Kihei (Center). It is not a top-drawer location, but everything is top-notch. The food is fresh and authentic-Thai. Cocktail list is creative and good; wine list even better - great selection/good value. Everything to eat is the real deal from appetizers to entrees - plenty of choice and very good. We even had the best coconut ice cream we’ve had in a while. This place gets high marks and an unqualified recommendation.

    When on the Island of Maui this restaurant is one that I will always make sure to visit On this trip I made it there twice The food is outstanding and the service is as well I believe it to be family owned and operated Pricing is inexpensive for Maui and the portions are such that I can usually get 1-2 more meals out of a dinner order Their drunken noodles and fried rice are outstanding I have never been disappointed when dining here Looking forward to my next visit in March 25

    Food was delicious! Drinks were wildly over priced and filled with ice so went down too easily. Would return 🙂
