Excellent food and service! A bit of a challenge to find the restaurant, but we persevered and it was worth it. We would go again, but ask not to be seated next to the door. Overall, a great experience.

Finding the location was the most challenging in this day and age when gps is second nature, it sometimes neglects to say the building is listed on the street but actually set back on the second floor of the building on the street in a shopping complex, but we found it. Allowed time. Food and service were very good. Atmosphere was clean and second story allows for cross breeze cooling since that side of the island is warmest. An enjoyable meal.

All the mains did not come out together. Our guest waited much too long for his overcooked salmon special. Appetizers & the music were the best part of our evening at Koloa Thai.
