A pretty tucked away spot for when you're craving Thai or Pho. I personally love their Mango Salad. Similar to Som Tum (Papaya Salad) but they use green mango that's right at the cusp of ripening so you get firm texture but a slightly sweeter taste. Highly recommend that. Their Pink Milk is made with the traditional Thai Sala syrup and they do serve it with Boba, but I suggest you get it without it to get the "traditional" version.

We are usually in Hawai’i several months at a time working. We stay in Kapolei and today we decided to try something new! We were amazed at how delicious the food was in a small restaurant in a shopping area! It was some of the best Thai food we’ve ever had and we’ve had original cooked by Thai friends. The food and service were beyond our expectations and we will absolutely go back as well as tell our friends who visit here! The restaurant is clean and welcoming and the staff was beyond helpful, friendly, and quick! We highly recommend this place and we will definitely go back!!

Arrived here for lunch around 11:30 AM and was able to get a table right away as most of the place was empty. This place can accommodate anyone from two people up to 10 or more. I noticed as I was there there was a lot of takeout orders, which is probably why the place wasn’t filled. We both ordered entrées. One of them was green veggie curry with a side of jasmine rice. The other one was vermicelli tofu, both were delicious. If I were to critique anything, the veggie curry was very watery, and the vermicelli tofu had way too much lettuce. I would recommend this place.
